User can’t login on mobile

White screen - missing initial state


This is an issue we have with Google Cloud which is being fixed in upcoming work.

  • Don’t attempt to delete and reinstall the app - it won’t help and negatively impacts our ability to review user logs
  • Swipe the app away and restart it
  • Ask user to try to login again, it should work on the next open attempt

‘No internet connection’ error message on mobile 

No internet connection screen shows up and can’t proceed from here (this is not always an internet connection issue)

  • This will only appear if the device does not have any Internet connection

Spinning Wheel on mobile

  • Don’t attempt to delete and reinstall the app - it won’t help and negatively impacts our ability to review user logs
  • Android: clear the cache & data from the Calven App settings 
  • iOS: swipe the app away and restart it

Strange app experiences

e.g. Blank building pass / map not loading / data missing 


  • Ensure user is on the latest version of the app

Not receiving push notifications 

User is not receiving standard daily notification 

  • Check Calven app Settings and notifications are enabled. 

Frequent sign-out on mobile when near the same physical location

User may be connecting to a wifi network stored in phone (such as cafe, building lobby) and failing to authenticate; this can result in unexpected sign-out

Remove the necessary wifi network(s) from phone wifi settings, or turn off auto-join

  • iPhone: Settings --> WiFi --> Edit --> either delete unfamiliar/old known networks, or click i and turn off auto-join
  • Android: Settings --> Connections or Network & Internet --> Wi-Fi or Internet --> navigate to the Settings menu of the network you want to forget.

Media/Music stops on Android device

Opening Calven app results in media/music stopped playing

Settings within mobile app: set connection feedback to 'Vibration only' or 'None' in Calven Mobile ID settings, otherwise it'll stop media every time you open Calven app

Desk booking has disappeared

User initially saw an upcoming desk booking and it’s now disappeared

  • Ask user if they changed status to Remote / Away for the day in question (this means the desk was cleared at this moment), and then changed again to Office (original desk may be assigned to other user in the interim)
  • Check with user if they released the desk by clicking the X on the homescreen

Access pass not working 

Not being able to scan in within the tenancy, or at lift; Mobile Access Pass showing red error


  • Ensure user is on the latest version of the app
  • Swipe the app away and restart it. Don’t attempt to delete and reinstall the app - it won’t help and negatively impacts our ability to review user logs
  • Check the following settings on the user’s device:
    • Bluetooth is enabled / Location set to Allow / Nearby devices set to Allow
  • Login to the HID Portal and Integriti portals to check the user credentials have passed through to the user profile. This step ensures the employee can access doors within the tenancy.
  • For issues where user can’t get into the lift, it could also be a base building access issue. Check that they have credentials in the HID portal, and then check that Reception has updated the base building system manually.

Presence green tick isn’t showing for some users

Green tick doesn’t display against user profile or on floorplan

Check access control logs being transmitted to Calven: ensure email address matches Calven record and timestamp in correct UTC format

  • Check the iPad is connected to the internet
  • Restart the printer, after 20 seconds it will print the IP configuration
