error 504() and 500()

[thebluehammer]

I get error 504() anytime I try to power up, sell, evolve, ship upgrade, add friend, check mail or use tavern when on mobile network and error 500() when on wifi. I can usually get past these errors after multiple attempts but it is frustrating. Anyone else having these issues or have any ideas on how to fix them?

So is this a network connection error we're dealing with?

Might be, this game is the only app that I ever have any connection errors with on mobile or wifi though so I'm thinking it is app related...

I get this problem as well on my nexus phone. First time it tries to connect to the server ( power up, sell, evolve..etc anything that involves sending data) I get connection fail. Second attempt immediately after goes through.

I think it has something to do with the WIFI setting on the phone itself because I don't have this problem on a different phone.

If you think you're having a problem with Wi-Fi setting on your phone, a temporary solution you can try is to change your DNS to to the Google Public DNS.

Go to Settings and select Wi-Fi.
Long press on your current network
Select modify network
Select show advanced options
Change your IP settings to static
DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 8.8.4.4

Tried changing my DNS and still getting the same error. Calavera, what android version is your nexus? I'm on 4.4.2 and my S5 is doing exactly what you described, fails then second try goes through when on wifi... on mobile network it takes many tries though

Incidentally, I am also using a Nexus 5 and running Android version 5.1

Try a VPN like Hotspot Shield: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hotspotshield.android.vpn ^^

My nexus is on 4.2.2. My galaxy S5 is on the latest lollipop and it works flawlessly. Both use the same wifi/router source.
