It looks like a recent update to the Cox Panoramic WiFi Application is no longer compatible with many smartphones out there.

I'm looking for a solution that does not include replacing a perfectly good smartphone. It looks like a recent update to the Cox Panoramic WiFi Application is no longer compatible with many smartphones out there, including mine of course.  This post as of January 24, 2021, so I'd say the stunt happened within a few days before that date.  I enjoyed the convenience of making adjustments to my home network remotely.  Now that has been summarily taken away.  Sorry if I don't appreciate that.

    what exactly happens when you try to sign in to the app?

    Message from Visitor.

    I cannot open the app on my smart phone. It hangs up and times-out after a minute or so

    Message from Visitor.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall

    Message from Agent.

    thanks for that update 

    Message from Agent.

    Message from Visitor.

    I can use my computer, which works just as before

    Message from Agent.

    okay

    Message from Visitor.

    Google Play won't offer me that particular app from Cox

    Message from Agent.

    I'm  taking a look into this  for you

    Message from Visitor.

    Thanks....FYI...I installed the generic Cox app earlier today, which has broad functionality. (ver. 3.11.0.404)

    Message from Visitor.

    That app provides access to Panoramic wifi, and when I selected, it switched me over to Google Play Store to download the Panoramic Wifi Application. That interface actually showed an error message to the affect that my device was not compatible...

    Message from Agent.

    that's for that update 

    Message from Agent.

     also based on the checks  done it would appear a thoughyour device  is  not compatible 

    Message from Visitor.

    It worked fine until a couple days ago. Can you recommend a work-around for me that won't requirem me to replace my perfectly good and otherwise state of the art device?

    Message from Agent.

     some checks 

    Message from Agent.
