Optik TV app not working.

[RyDawg]

So I just downloaded the new Optik app on my phone. Unfortunately I cannot get it to run. Every time I log in it gives me this error. 

[Nighthawk]

Seems to be working for me on iPhone. I only get that error if using a browser to access Optik online.

What phone are you using?  I'm wondering if you are using a forked Android OS.

Screenshot looks like iOS.

I get this error on both my phone (Samsung with Lollipop) and laptop (Win 10 with Chrome) when I try to login with my Telus My Account credentials - but it works with my Telus Optik on the Go credentials which are different from the My Account credentials. Perhaps this is another case of a Telus tool that doesn't work if you have Fibre service e.g. the My Account tool doesn't work for managing Optik TV if you have Fibre service.

[Uh-oh]

I'm getting the same message (LP1008).  The Remote Record app - which I used to use - is telling me that it can't find my email address and the TELUS "My Account" app is telling me that it "could not retrieve my service information, please try again later" (although it does tell me how much my bill is).

Not sure what is going on here, but everything appears to be a bit of a mess.

@psl,

May I get a bit of help regarding this issue? I have been trying for the last two days and it always ends up with the error saying something went wrong, try later.  I know I am inputting the right email and password. 

Thanks

[vishwa]

The actual error is: Cannot login. Sorry, there was an unexpected error logging you in. Please try again later.

@jrueger @Uh-oh @vishwa Hey folks, I'll be reaching out by PM to each of you for more info, so we can look into it further. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

[vishwa]

Thank you.

I have the exact same problem on my Samsung Galaxy 8.

[VonWoogle]

I am getting the same LP1008 message on my Samsung Galaxy 8.  I am using my Telus account login.

[VonWoogle]

Success! Had to reset my Optik TV account and use the new confirmation code sent to me. Still cannot log into Optik TV using the Telus account.

I've had this same issue on my s7 edge since you guys upgraded. I get the LP1007 error and the SSL certificate error. I've done a factory reset on my phone by your suggestion but still doesn't work.

I've even redone my account. I really miss using this app and would like it working.

Hi I have Optik TV app on my iPad.  It use to work awesome. But now log in error every time. Have phoned and email Telus. Nobody seems to be able to help or fix this. Now there not even answer my email. Super frustrated   Any help with this would be great.

@ashman35

  Care to provide a bit more detail on the errors you receive? Are you using the most recent App?

[Exhile]

The watchoptik.telus.com URL link and the Optik TV app for iOS have changed their layout!

[Jodi1]

Hi I’m getting the same error on my iphone & ipad.  Used to work great now i can’t get in.

[Carina223]

Getting the same error and have used it with no problems until today on my iPad Air 2

Did a quick test for me and it's working on my Android phone.

Are you signing in with your Optik account id?

[Carina223]

Yes I’ve used it successfully for months and I sign in using my Telus login info. I’ve tried reinstalling and it still gives me the same error message. Looks like yet another call to Telus..

[Kikikins08]

Hi! My app keeps sending me errors too! Could I please get help:) thanks!

[NFtoBC]

@Kikikins08

Can you provide a few more details as to the errors you receive?

[VonWoogle]

I had success by resetting my Optik TV account and using the new confirmation code sent to me. Still cannot log into Optik TV using the Telus account.

[VonWoogle]

The app would not let me login. I got the LP1008 error message. But I had success by resetting my Optik TV account and using the new confirmation code sent to me. Still cannot log into Optik TV using the Telus account.

[NFtoBC]

The Optik App works for me, using my Telus ‘My Account’ credentials. Possibly your account needs to reset the App credentials. If the issue continues beyond today, you may need to contact Telus for a full reset.

Don't bother with the app.  It is totally useless. they killed the old one and replaced it with one that does not let you use the guide to change channels.  Plus, some graphic designer got a hold of it, was more concerned with it looking nice than actually being able to use it.

[brentFR]

I am just trying to record the Blue Jays game and when I select it on the guide, I am hitting channel 911, but the recording page comes up with 916 as the channel. Even if I leave it as 916 and don't change anything, I get an error (1-48-464) saying it can't record the show.... and the guide just says MLB Baseball and not the details of the game (like who is playing who). Pretty useless if you have a mobile app that doesn't work.
