My Backup Assistant hangs after "Step 1"

[TPAB]

Backup Assistant just hangs at "Step 1"  I unfortunately upgraded to 3.1.1   EVERY REVIEW on the App Store of 3.1.1 says the same thing.  It just hangs at Step 1.  Previous version worked like a charm - no issues.  If you still have a chance, do not load 3.1.1.  Hey Verizon - how do you release an App that just hangs???  When will it be fixed???

TPAB,

We thank you for reaching out to us here, because help is our middle name. Let’s make sure we get your backup assistant to work on your phone, pronto! What make & model phone do you have? Have you been able to turn your phone completely off & then back on? If you can provide any other details that would help.

TPAB,

Ok, gotcha. Thank you for the helpful information. Have you been able to uninstall the Backup Assistant app and then re-install it? Also, please do what is called Resetting the Network Settings. This will erase any wifi settings, so please jot down anything you need before doing this. You can re-enter it back in the phone once this is done. You won’t erase anything else on the phone at all other than that. Please go to Settings – General – Reset – Reset Network Settings. Once that is done, please try to run the Backup Assistant again & let us know what the outcome is.

You are treating my issue like a one off. Did u notice that

every App Store review of BA 3.1.1 reports the same issue????

Something broke in 3.1.1. It's not my phone or network connection.

Uninstalled, reinstalled and STILL NOT WORKING!

Are u still working this or have u given up?

App Store has new reviews- all one star.

All stating that 3.1.1 just does not work.

Any news on when a real fix will be available??

TPAB,

I appreciate you doing this troubleshooting with me. We are definitely not giving up. I’m confident we can find a resolution. Were you able to do the Resetting of Network Settings? I do regret to see that you are feeling as if I’m not trying to help you. We do need to get these questions answered & continue to troubleshoot this issue. Can you please describe to me the exact steps that you are doing, starting with trying to open up the Backup Assistant app? Are you using a wifi connection or using the Verizon Wireless 4G connection while trying to use Backup Assistant? Please walk me through as much as possible.  Thank you very much!

I have tried LTE and WI-FI and neither works

Again- you are treating this as a one off- something with my phone or network

You continue to ignore the many BA reviews on the App Store that report the same issue

You are also ignoring the fact that this worked perfectly for me until I upgraded the BA app to 3.1.1

I have worked in software support for 30+ years

Failure investigations should always start with "what changed"

It's rare that a new issue is caused by something unrelated to new software

Don't give me any new actions to try until you check into the many reports of 3.1.1 failures

Thanks

Tom
