Troubleshooting
Stream Dropout
If your device is losing connectivity due to either:
- 1- inconsistent or slow wifi / data
- 2- mobile signal is switching between towers
- 3 - mobile data is switching between 3G and 4G
We highly recommend you enter the Calm Radio app's Settings menu and reduce the audio quality setting to either Normal or Mobile
Hard Reset
If you phone or app has for any reason stopped working or is frozen, it is advisable to perform a hard reset of your device. This is a safe and harmless procedure and will not result in loss of data.
To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Closing Background Apps
Your device may have too may applications open in the background memory which can cause your device to stall or slow down resulting in poor performance. Close as many apps as possible if your device response is slow.
View Open Apps. Double-click the Home button to reveal your open apps. Swipe sideways to see more. To switch to another app, tap it. On iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, press the left edge of the screen, then swipe right to switch apps.
Close an app. If an app isn’t working properly, you can force it to quit. Swipe the app up from the app switcher display. Then try opening the app again.
