  • Note: these apps do not run in the background

Accessing the 'Questions' in the Conversations Apps: Some Android devices tested had difficulty registering the touch screen tap on the Questions button. If this occurs, tap repeatedly until the app responds.

Progress: Conversations

Only one user's progress is saved on any device. To save progress for another user requires an un-install, and then a new install on the device.

Progress updates from the records server requires a data connection. If progress does not seem to be registering, re-start the App.

Data Synchronization

The user's data is synced with our Records Server on each log in and exit. If an Internet connection is not available or in Airplane Mode, the MyDynEd App tiles will not function. You will not be able to sign in to Conversations Apps. Mobile.DynEd.com is web-based and requires an Internet connection to function.

If a poor data connection prevents updating of personal settings for completion of Conversations apps, make sure you are in a location with good WiFi signal strength and restart the application.

Using Maps

The user's device must support geolocation or maps will not be available. Users must enable use of their current location. In the device Settings navigate to: Settings > Location Services and allow device to use your location.

Troubleshooting

Invalid E-mail address or Password

If the message "User does not exist" appears:
  • Check the spelling of the email address entered.
  • If you have not used this App before, use the Sign Up button instead.

Signing Up

No Confirmation email appears

If no confirmation email arrives within a few hours:
  • Check your spam filtered emails.
  • Make sure DynEd is in your list of accepted emails.

No sound on apps

You might have accidentally lowered the volume with the volume control on the side of the device.

Device acting strangely...may need to Restart to clear the memory cache

Under Settings, look for Backup and Reset. There should be a Personal data choice to reset to Factory Data status.
