I have this same issue. I am trying to access liveview on my phone. I have been through the checks and my signal strength is excellent, download and upload are both over 3 and my RSSI green at -50. Please help.

Android cell phone, Samsung Note 8. It just says Activating Device... It doesn't work even if I'm at home using the Wifi.

This may be different than the issue that I'm experiencing. I have apple devices that I recently updated to iOS 13.5.1 and Live View no longer worked after the update but works on devices with the older iOS.

Waiting on a fix for this issue. I have 2 ring bells, front and back door. I've reset bell and rebooted wifi and restarted the app on my phone. Front door works perfectly fine but back door bell still stuck activating live view. Yesterday when I was reviewing footage, I noticed someone was at my back door. My ring also didn't make a sound or provide any alert and didn't catch the person's face, only their back as they walked away.

Same issue here. Spent 3-4 hours waiting and with level 1-3 support. Reinstalled app, reset ring multiple times, reset WiFi and modem. Finally they sent a replacement and same issue. No love view. Have another ring on same WiFi and no problem. Very frustrated as over 4 hours w support wasted

Hey neighbors! Please note that your Live View can be affected by many different factors, and therefore while multiple people may have a concern with Live View, you all could be having this concern for different reasons. Live View is normally affected from a poor wifi connection, reduction in upload speeds (or download, but upload is more common with Live View, and upload is normally much less than download available from your ISP if you do a speed test), low battery on the device, a high RSSI value, interference from the router, or the wifi connection in the home being used elsewhere (kids, family, friends or roommate using the internet or working from home). If you are experiencing more concerns than just Live View, you can try the steps, but it may be best handled with our support team if your device is not functioning as it should. Below I will list out all possible options you can try! I've collected this from other neighbors and my own personal experience. :) Some neighbors have found relief to this concern by doing the following to their network: - Switching networks for the device, whether this is from 2.4 Ghz to 5.0 Ghz (if possible for device/network to connect to) - Switching from connection to a router to a mesh system/Chime Pro/extenders and vice versa - Rebooting your router, ensuring that all [ports and protocols](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/205385394-The-Protocols-and-Ports-Used-by-Ring-Devices) are opened for the Ring devices - Ensuring you have proper speeds. Lots of neighbors during this time have noticed slower speeds because of the current conditions and changes to at home life - Disabling any VPNs Some neighbors have found relief in this concern by doing the following to their Ring device: - Completely reset the device by pressing and holding the setup button for 30 seconds - Removing the device (after saving any recordings you may need) and then re-setting the device up - Testing Live View with device next to the router - Ensuring device is fully charged - Looking at Device Health and confirming [RSSI](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/217271526-Understanding-RSSI-Values-and-Wireless-Signal-Strength) is in acceptable range Some neighbors have found relief in this concern by doing the following to their app: - Disabling VPNs on the phone - Removing the app, rebooting phone, reinstalling the Ring app - Trying the Rapid Ring app - Connecting to the app on wifi or mobile data only (testing whichever connection is not your normal) - Updating app/OS software on phone Please note that if you do not feel comfortable enough preforming any of these troubleshooting steps to see if you can get your Live View working again, you can always contact our support team directly. They can take a look into your account and device to determine what is really going on, and what factor may be at play here.

Let's get the issue fixed with iOS 13.5.1 and then we can start talking. There is a big issue but it seems like it's not being discussed.

It is weird. With subscription I am able to see live view even though my RSSI is -78!!!! without subscription it is completely unable to see live view!!! Does it mean I have to subscribe so I do not have problems with live view? Thank you.

Hi @angela47. An [RSSI](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-your-ring-device-rssi-good-vs-poor/229) of -78 is not very good. With this connection strength that low, it is expected to have an intermittent Live View. I would suggest making sure your router is out in the open to minimize [wifi interference](https://community.ring.com/t/device-tips-wifi-interference/221). You may need a wifi extender such as the [Chime Pro](https://ring.com/collections/accessories/products/chime-pro-gen2) to help achieve a better signal. I hope this information helps.

Android, Samsung Note 8

I am having the same issue. We have xfinity ☹️

I tried what you said and after the next motion activation, the live-view problem was fixed. Appears there is indeed a bug with the app that the ring team needs to address. I hope they are reading this message and they will fix the bug for all of us!!!!

February 9th, 2022 - just in case it didn't post the date. I am reading this message from over a year ago and glad I did. I have four cameras and a doorbell and three of the cameras worked as did the doorbell however the fourth camera live view only worked on my computer, not my phone. I just toggled the very first button "Motion Detection" to off and immediately live view started working on my phone. I tested it by toggling it back on and live view still works. Not sure what the issue was but a problem that has been bothering me for over a month was fixed with a quick toggle off then back on. Thank you Chop2358 - or others if you were not the first to solve it - just the first response I read that fixed it.
