Hi all,
I’ve been running into persistent issues with the RingCentral Android app and wondering if others are experiencing the same — or have found a fix.
❗ The Errors I'm Seeing:
-
Every time I open the Phone tab in the app, I get this popup:
"Phone calls only"
Sorry, we are having a temporary server issue. You can continue to make and receive phone calls, but cannot use other features. -
Occasionally, I also get:
"Cannot recover"
Sorry, we're having trouble recovering your app.
✅ What Works:
-
I can make and receive calls
-
Voicemail and fax features work fine
🛠️ What I've Tried:
-
Reinstalled the app
-
Cleared storage/cache
-
Granted all app permissions (Phone, Contacts, SMS, etc.)
-
Tried on Wi-Fi and mobile data
-
Verified that the app is not battery-optimized or restricted
-
The issue has been there since I first installed the app
I’m starting to wonder if it’s a provisioning problem (like messaging/SMS not enabled on the backend), but I can’t confirm.
Anyone else seeing this? Is this just cosmetic or is something actually broken?
Thanks!
