I have been seeing this quite a bit lately as well, and it still happens in this new 2.40 version of the Android app that was just released. I don’t recall when it started, but it was at least in the previous 2.39 Android version.
It always manifests in the same way for me:
At the top of the home screen, I have 5 camera groups with 2-4 cameras in each group, and then I have a single camera on the home page, then all my other devices (plugs, lights, sensors, either singly or in groups) come after that.
I usually start at the top of the home screen, and go down through each group, checking the multi-view of the cameras in each group. When I get to the 5th group (the last camera group before the home screen single camera), the cameras in that group show the “Loading Live Stream …” message for all cameras in that group, and no matter how long I sit there, that message doesn’t go away. But if I click on each camera in that group to go to the single live view of that camera, then the live stream does come up for each camera.
Whether I view each camera in that group separately, or not, when I give up and return to the home page and go to the single camera next on the list, it comes up with no problem.
Instead of starting at the top and going to each group in order, if I go directly to the 5th group, then the live view of the cameras in group #5 come up fine.
To see the live view of the cameras in group #5 in the group view, I force-close the app, then go directly to group #5, and the live view of the cameras in that group view come up fine.
If I reverse the order, and start with group 5 and go from the bottom group to the top group, then when I get to the top group, I then I get the same “Loading live stream…” message for the cameras in the group view for the first group.
If it is important, here is what I have in these groups:
- Group 1: two V3 cameras
- Group 2: one V3 and one Pan Cam V3
- Group 3: three V3, and one Pan Cam V3
- Group 5: two V3 cameras
- Group 5: four V2 cameras
- Then the ungrouped camera on the home screen is a V3
It seems like the app might be running out of memory or something after viewing that many cameras in that many groups, and the live view in the group multi-view can’t load the live views any more.
My phone is:
- Samsung Galaxy S9+
- Android 10
- 6 GB ram (4 GB in use, 2 GB free)
- 64 GB internal storage (65% full)
- 64 GB external (SD card) storage (14% full)
- only Wyze and FileExplorer app running
- no additional background apps running
- Wyze app settings: Cache File Size 61 MB, background mode disabled, hardware decoder enabled
This is an inconvenience for now, that I can live with this until it is fixed. It is easily resolved temporarily by force-closing the app and restarting, then going to that specific group.
