Sync issues Troubleshooting

One of Skynamo’s greatest strengths is our ability to function fully when there is no internet connectivity.

All data is stored locally on the device until an internet connection is restored and the data can be sent up to Skynamo's cloud servers.

Skynamo can function without internet activity, however if the application is without connectivity for more than 2 hours, the following error messages might appear:

Steps for Android devices:

All interactions and visits can still be successfully completed, the data is just stored on the device and uploaded to the server at a later stage.

If you have received an error message as above, please perform the following troubleshooting checks.

  • Please ensure you have Wi-Fi connection or that your Mobile data is turned on.
    • Mobile Data (on) / Wi-Fi (on)
    • If you are not in a Wi-Fi zone you can switch this off if you know you do have Mobile data
  • Check that the flight mode is turned “off”
    • Flight Mode (off)
  • To refresh your data settings, turn your data off and on again
  • Check that you are connected to the internet by trying to “Google” a word eg."Weather" mceclip2.png
  • If the “Google” page does not load or gives the ‘no internet connection’ message, check your device data balance.

 

 

Skynamo relies on many services and functions on your device and to work optimally it must not be restricted.

#1: Make sure your Skynamo app is up to date:

- Go to your Google Play Store > Search for Skynamo > Click on Skynamo > Click on the green Update button if there is one:
