Android Edge - Something is wrong

Anonymous

Edge on my PCs is working fine. On my Android tablet I am getting Something Is Wrong. Please note IS wrong, not WENT wrong.

  • I have rebooted the tablet.
  • I have uninstalled the app twice, once leaving data and one removing it.
  • I found references to maybe it is an account issue. I have tried with Sync on and with Sync off. After one installation, I did not enter my account details but still get the message. It appears below the tiles for various sites.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this please?

    This seems to clearly be a bug introduced in some recent update. I have two Lenovo tablets: the Yoga (a 10.1" tablet) and a smaller Lenovo TB8505 (8"). Edge presents different screen layouts on these two even though they both have the same options set. Edge has had no problems running on both tablets until today (1/14/22) when the version of Edge on the Yoga tablet now exhibits the "Something's Wrong" message (the smaller tablet still seems fine). Despite this annoying message, the Edge browser still works entirely properly on the Yoga tablet.

    This is not the only Microsoft app weirdness that exhibits problems only on the Yoga tablet (but not on the TB8505) despite the fact that both tablets run the same version of Android and have the same updates. I tried installing the Microsoft "Office" app (the unified one that opens files of all types) on both tablets. The app works fine on both tablets and allows us to sign in using our respective accounts and see files on our respective OneDrives. But after every restart of the Yoga tablet, the Office app disappears entirely as though it had never been installed, whereas there is no such problem on the TB8505. So I tried installing both Word and Excel on the Yoga tablet, and both of these work fine and do not disappear. But now matter what I do, the "Office" app always disappears off the Yoga following a restart. Weird stuff.

    This is a new issue which seems to have coincided with an update. It occurs on my Lenovo tablet and Samsung Galaxy tablet.

    It seems to only have nuisance value as the virus checker has not yet located sinister intrusions.

    Thank you Lothbrok for the extra information. That seems to establish it's an issue with the app.

    I have the exact same problem on my Samsung tablet running Android. It started January 12 around 6 PM Eastern Time. The play store reported an update to Edge happened an hour earlier. I have done nearly everything the OP has done to no avail, the message persists, "Something IS wrong." It is exactly as the OP shows. It is as if the new tab page has been altered to display:

    I have noticed that the new tab page comes up along with the "Something is Wrong" message, then the page buttons appear quickly afterwards. If you aren't paying attention you'd think it was simultaneously, but it's not.

    Again No. I mean the Something Is Wrong text.

    • Clicking the blue Refresh button does nothing.
    • Clicking the refresh icon in the toolbar does nothing.
    • Closing the app does not fix it.
    • Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix it.
    • Rebooting does not fix it.

    I cannot find any way to get rid of this message.
