I am also encountering issues. However, it is only occurring if i am accessing through my data connection. If i am connected with wifi, no problem. Furthermore, it apears to be an issue only with the us server, i was able to connect on the uk server. It started yesterday. And being a programmer myself, i get suspicious of coincidences, so one more piece of info. On Tuesday, i got rimmed while i was on the phone app through the data connection, and got the restart screen. But since i wanted to choose my restart quadrant, i closed the app and restarted when i got home. That was the last time i successfully connected through the data connection....
LG5, android 7.0. I cleared the cache, uninstalled, soft reboot, and reinstalled. No effect.
