Now app “pending”

Hi,

 

I have the now app on my Sony smart tv. It’s been working fine for a long time. Yesterday it said the app needed updating. When I try and update the app says it is “pending” but it’s not doing anything….

 

I have removed the app and tried to reinstall but have the same “pending” issues.

 

any ideas??

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

I think i encountered this myself on my Amazon Fire Stick NOW App.

 

I can't remember if i just unplugged the power to the Stick for a minute and tried again or i actually factory reset the Stick.

 

Factory resetting your TV would be a pain in the backside, where you would have to setup the television again from scratch.

 

If your television has been calibrated write down the full picture settings used.

Hold the ok button for a few seconds, you’ll see a pop up with the option to restart. This will effectively power down and restart the TV. 
This is something I need to do a few times a week just to give it a kick up the rear.

Hopefully it’ll sort it out. Saves you unplugging the TV. 

You could also try unplugging the router for a few minutes.

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help
