READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

Yes I get an error message...I unistalled on both android phones and reinstalled same error. Was working up until the 2/11 Android app update...I emailed the techincal support after going through the basic troubleshooting steps. We will see!

Hi there! I also was having application loading issues on Android. After a little experimenting, I discovered that my location must be turned on. Also, if my wifi was faster than my mobile data, I needed to turn off mobile data.
As soon as I made these changes, everything worked perfectly. For reference, this was true on the Samsung S10+ and my new S21 ultra 5g .
Maybe this will help.

I have Android 11 with Samsung One UI 3.0 and haven't seen this issue on my Samsung 20+. I have been practicing all week. Which phone and Android version are you on? Screen shots attached.

I am on the newest app update on the same Samsung build. I havent had a problem all week either until the newest app update...I even unistalled and reinstalled. Rebooted my phone that sort of thing... I emailed the app support to make sure others arent affected.

Hey Dan, I see it now. Our MDE app build numbers are different. I haven't been prompted to update yet. Keep us posted!

Do these apply to everyone? I routinely keep my location turned off. I have an iphone and was just practicing for the first time in months. According to the post I read, I would have been successful getting a boarding group. It did ask me if I was in the park, so if this was real, would it be necessary to have my location turned on? I don't go until September but I plan to practice every day until we arrive, lol. I also just updated my app today.

I had been successful prior with practice but not today after I updated my samsung note 10 + yesterday. I got stuck on loading. I had location on.

If you are getting through then don't worry about it.

Androids can be finicky. I love mine. It has never failed me in getting a BP (usually the first group of the day). You will be fine.

Its still not working, it worked for 1 second but then went back to infinitely loading.

No you don't need Location Services On to get a BG.

The 7 AM BG window selection can be from anywhere and 1 PM BG eligiblity is tied to you having entered the part before 1 PM. For 1 PM there is a service call to check that you have entered the park by checking the DHS park entry system. You don't need to physically be in DHS at 1 PM.

Bummer. I went to the Google Play Store and I do see the Update button. Unless they force update, I will wait for now.

I just wanted to say how helpful this post was. I didn't even practice and because of the accuracy of your screen shots, I was able to score a RotR boarding group (#33) on my first attempt. Easy peazy. Thank you so much.

To others that are trying to get a boarding group, go to page 865 and lookup Isutigers screen shots. They are invaluable in getting you where you want to go.

That’s awesome. I’m really happy that it helped.

The groups were gone in under 10 seconds today. I have been screen recording to keep stats.

10 seconds would be a long time. They are gone in 2-3 seconds.

I was able to go back and forth, select and get the screen about not having park pass, till about 9-10 seconds before I saw this message. Of course this might change from day to day.

My experience has been the same as @ENJDisneyFan. I try almost daily, have been for about 6 weeks and normally can get through once but that’s it. 2-3 seconds is pretty typical. When I try a second time I immediately go to the screen showing which BGs are being called.

You will not get a true sense of groups being totally filled up by going back and forth. If you want to see how fast they are gone, after you go through once "X" out and try again. When I do it that way they are always gone immediately but when I go back and forth they can seem to be there an unreasonably long time.

That makes sense. Thanks.

I'm assuming this is 7:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. local Orlando time (Eastern?) So for 'practicing' I'd need to do 6 and 12 for Central time?

Yep! I live in CT as well and practiced at 12. I didn’t see a reason to practice at 6:00 if I wasn’t already up.

 

[boop0524]

Just did a practice run and have a concern. The person in my party I’ll be with was at the very bottom of my friends and family list which slowed me down tremendously. Should I assume they’ll be auto selected with me day of or just keep clicking and fix it later at the park? We got a boarding group successfully in December but it was panic mode so don’t recall methods lol

I was just successful securing a BG after being unsuccessful in November. DD and I went on the ride last January, but that was over a year ago. I think my mistake in November was spending the 2 seconds making sure everyone in my group was selected. I just tapped like crazy this go-round and got BG 14! This is a Mommy/Daughter Trip, and we’re super excited to ride again! Our poor boys (DH and DS) haven’t been on it yet. I’m hopeful they’ll get to ride on our next trip now that I won’t make the “rookie mistake” of checking my group members. I still think it’s crazy these are gone in a second, but I’m not in charge. :/ Thanks for all the tips everyone!
