    Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.4.2

    Game won't load, just crashes. If by some chance it does load, it crashes soon after. This has been an on and off problem over the last year and a half, but is now significantly worse with the Halloween update.

    I have a Samsung S4.

    It crashed a lot during Clash of the Clones, but it has been worse during this update. I can't even get it, without it going to the loading screen then coming up with "Unfortunately, tapped out has stopped working". And when I can get it, it's not long before it freezes and crashes. So frustrating.

    Played Halloween 2-3 days and all was OK.
    Now the doughnut just spins during login until it times out and the game exits.
    Samsung Note 2, KitKat.


    ***Update***
    Uninstall/reinstall took care of it.

    There is a troubleshooting page specifically for Andoid. This may not solve every problem, but its worth a shot:

    I tried all of the trouble shooting tips, and Nada. My fiance has an older Samsung tablet running android 4.1.2 and there are none of the larger text or icons issues. The issues I'm having are only in TSTO. None of my other apps are experiencing the same issue. This is really annoying.

    Can't play on kindle fire hdx (and my ipod touch)
    Both say "can't connect to server" and MAYBE it'll work if I try again :evil: :evil: :evil: , but it doesn't and occasionally it will kick me out back to the home screen. Had this throughout the stonecutters update but the halloween update made it far worse.

    Edit: I get a bit of lag on a football (soccer) game I play, but TSTO is the only game that is giving me this trouble. Even Fifa 14 (also on Origin) is not giving me grief.

    If it doesn't work on android and Ios, it shouldn't be a device specific problem. But contact EA.

    I'm sure everyone is having this problem so let me explain:

    I've been able to play the new update since it released and so far I had gotten to the ****. However yesterday I tried to head back in and start up the game but then it sent me back to the home screen. Here's what happens:

    1: The game starts with the Gracie Films, Fox and EA logo.

    2: It disappears how it normally does before going to the "Tap to continue" screen

    3: Instead of heading to the screen it ends up sending me back to the home screen.

    I've done it all. Restarted both the app and my phone, took out and re-inserted the battery, cleared my cache and so forth. The only thing I haven't done is delete and re-install my app because I'm really nervous about doing stuff like that.

    My phone is a "US HUAWEI T-Mobile myTouch Q" and yes it IS compatible with the app and is up to date.

    HTC one, I'm lvl 45 and it won't let me get to my town. Just starts me off at the opening scene of the game with homer blowing up the town. Then goes to the first mission then crashes. I tried logging out but when I log back in it tells me that I'm already signed in with another device. Then back to the opening scene again..... This is an endless loop on my device. I was doing so well in the Halloween challenges, 5th out of 100 friends.... Now who knows..... So frustrating.

    That happened to me as well. It may just be because your friend has not downloaded the Halloween event. If you look in the top left hand corner of your screen whilst in your friend's town, it will either say you can send probes to the town (Halloween Update obviously) or 'vandalise' it, which would mean they still have the Clash Of Clones event and have not logged on in a short while to get the new updates.

    Also, see if they have any Halloween currency- eggs, probes, ammo etc. You can see this above or below their name before you click on it to go into their town.
