Ring app for Android continuously crashing
android

The past few days, the Ring app crashes when I attempt to open it from the icon on my windows phone. It will show the blue Ring homescreen, then fail out. I get an Android message saying "Ring app keeps stopping." I have already deleted the app, restarted my phone, and reinstalled the app from the Google Playstore. It worked ok for a little while, but now it is crashing again. I still am getting some live notifications. I can usually open the live video from a motion notification, but nothing else associated with the app works.

    Hey @PaveSpike. What kind of phone do you have, as well as what OS is the phone running? In addition, what version of the Ring app do you have installed?

      Chelsea, The phone is a Moto x4, running android version 9. Current version: PPWS29.69-39-6-10 Security updated July 1, 2020 Ring app version is whatever is current in the Google Play store.... I have uninstalled and reinstalled from the Play store 3 times now. "3.29.0" is what Play store says. After installing the app, logging in, and being able to see my cameras, any attempt to open the app after that results in a crash.

      Have you removed the app restarted the phone and then reinstalled the app? Also, do you have decent space available on your internal storage? Did it work on the previous version of the app?

      I have been a Ring user for almost 2 years with this device, no issues before now. I have removed app, restarted phone, and reinstalled app from Play store at least 3 times now. Internal storage of phone is 32GB. It was up around 96% used when this started happening. I today installed a new micro SD card for additional memory and moved several gig of data to it. Internal storage is now down to 72% used, or 8GB available. Surely this must be enough for the app. I have restarted multiple times to ensure the device and apps recognize this. The latest install of Ring app sadly crashes still. This is about the 4th install I have tried. Was Ring app recently updated that may have caused this issue?

      There was a recent update. That may be the issue. I was a motoxprt on Motorola support forum for 10 years. I remember the X4 very well. It was a very stable phone. 8 gigs should be fine. Make sure you don't move the Ring app to the SD card. That could cause issues. You could try an older version to see if it was the update that caused the issue. Then we can let Ring know that. I will see if I can get a link for the last version on apk mirror's site.

      I found version 3.28.1 which was the last version. You can download it here. [https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ring-com/ring-always-home/ring-always-home-3-28-1-release/ring-always-home-3-28-1-android-apk-download/](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ring-com/ring-always-home/ring-always-home-3-28-1-release/ring-always-home-3-28-1-android-apk-download/) Remember to remove the version you have now before installing this one. The site is safe and I've been using it for many years. If it works and is stable. Then we know it's the update and then inform Ring of the app's issue with the model. Let me know what happens.

      I just began experiencing this same issue over the past few weeks. Android began throwing the error message, "Unfortunately, Ring has stopped", whenever I attempt to view Neighbor postings after receiving a neighbor alert. After accepting the error the app fatally crashed. If I did not select Neighbors, other functions within the Ring app functioned correctly. I deleted Ring cache, deleted the ring app, restarted the device twice, and then reloaded the app from Playstore. The Neighbors function continues to fail with the error above. However, after reloading, accepting the error I returns to me to the app's home page and I can load events, etc...a modest improvement at best. Where to go from here? Thanks, Steve
