About 3 weeks ago, the RC Phone on my Android began automatically logging me after after a couple of hours due to inactivity. We have now had a 2nd phone in our organization which began automatically logging the user off which began last week. So far we have had no reports of iPhone automatically logging users out. Any ideas?
It's working thanks!
We have had a 3rd mobile phone in our organization that started autologging off due to inactivity start last week. All 3 are Androids. Update: We found that when we do not use SSO to sign into the app, the app is no longer autologging out of the RC Phone app but unsure why. As Jenna stated above, try logging in with the direct number and password instead of SSO.
We have had no further auto-logouts on Android since we updated to 20.3.2.1.1.
Is anyone else still getting logged out? This time its after 8+ hours. I'll keep more track of time to confirm.
Thank you Jessica!!
I am having this same issue with RC Phone app with my Pixel 2 XL and Android 11. It was working previously fine until yesterday and then it the missed calls and call history will go blank and get stuck on updating. It will follow with you've been logged out. Also, it seems to get stuck around 45-60 minutes if that helps.
I've uninstalled, rebooted and re-installed and its no longer kicking me out, but I also can't use any of the features of the application including dialing or messaging. It says the caller ID you selected is not available now, please try again and the messages just get stuck on sending. Also, the same issue is occurring for the missed and all calls it's just stuck on updating.
I've confirmed that the iOS application isn't effected.
It's frustrating because my company uses it for emergency on call functionality and we need it to work.
@kevin-grube and @shawn-minisall I've escalated this, and provided the email addresses from your community profiles to Tony, the Android mobile app product manager. Please be on the look out for an email from him directly.
@shawn-minisall and @kevin-grube, I'm working with a product manager who is escalating this to our engineering team. I'll follow up when I have some more information. Thank you for confirming that you had open cases, they'll be helpful for our engineering team to know what troubleshooting steps have already been taken.
Here is some further info for you, not sure if it was added to the case yet. My support team opened the ticket and I am just trying to assist being the RC Admin and SSO Admin.
- This problem only exists with RC Phone on Android (version of Android does not seem to matter).
- This issue only exists when the app has been closed out, so not running in the background.
- The Battery exclusions article on the website https://support.ringcentral.com/s/article/RingCentral-Mobile-App-Battery-Optimization?language=en_US does not fix the issue.
- Reloading the application does not fix the issue.
Hi @shawn-minisall,
I would recommend you follow up with your companies IT to confirm if the SSO settings have been recently changed and causing the force sign out. There is not a known issue with Android causing force sign outs on the app.
Hi Jessica, We too have this issue. I am the SSO admin for my company and I can confirm this is only a problem for Android and no changes have been made to our SSO environment since we became a customer earlier this year. All other devices/applications (IOS included) do not have any issues with being logged out. We know the email and address works as a workaround, but defeats the purpose of SSO. We have a case logged with support as well. The case is 11440022. Can we get some more eyes on this issue internally with RC?
Hi Jessica,
Our issue has actually been escalated to Tier 3 Support.
Just want to add to this conversation - about a week ago my RC Phone app started doing the exact same thing. I always use SSO and I also have an Android phone. It logs me out after only about 30 minutes if I don't open the app. It did not do this before. We have not made any changes to our SSO policies.
