New Gateway and U-verse App on Phone and Firesticks Can’t Authenticate
A month ago, our gateway malfunctioned and a tech came out and replaced it as well as changed to Fiber. Since then, the U-Verse App on the phone (android and iPhone) just hangs or shuts off and on the Firestick’s it gives an authentication error. Have called U-verse several times and can’t get anyone to fix the problem. At one point, they tried to reset the password and had me wait 10 days to receive a password via regular mail. That was a colossal waste time as we are in the same situation.

Thank you for responding. All of these steps you have outlined we have done several times over to no avail. Cannot access the U-verse app on any phone be it Android, IPhone or Amazon Firestick which were all operational 15 minutes prior to the gateway change and fiber upgrade using the correct member id. We have updated the password several times including the password reset by att that was received by mail.
We are paying a fortune to ATT for very little value. The ids and password access billing information and profile but not app services. Calling and speaking to someone on the phone half way around the world who calls me ma’am over and over again (ad nauseum) and profusely thanks me for my service with no results is just further infuriating. Clearly some change took place to the account when that gateway was installed, but no one can seem to identify the problem. The firestick U-verse app doesn’t work for our sign in information but does work for others because I had a friend come to the house and sign in with their own account to test and they are able to sign in and view programs.
