This still does not work for me.  I get the same "HBO GO login is temporarily not available on this device. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice, other providers login screens will come up, but not uverse. Need this fixed asap!

This issue has not been solved. I have called before and been given the run around. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HBO Go app with no change in results. Is there any resolution to this?

Hello: I hoped this would solve my issue, but it doesn't. I cannot access WatchESPN or NBC LiveExtra via my browser. I always get an error that I'm not authorized or that I need to check my subscription with U-verse. The list of available web apps is here (https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413131&cv=813&_requestid=1418926). I have cleared my cache, multiple times, and still receive the same error in Firefox, Chrome, and IE. How do I get access to these!?

Hello,

 

I am having problems logging into HBO GO and Max GO on any of my Android mobile devices.

 

- I select "Login" and choose AT&T Uverse as the provider.  Instead of the AT&T logon, I immediately receive error "HBO GO login is temporarily not available on this device. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience."

- If I select any other provider, I receive the provider login prompt as expected.

- I am able to login to HBO/Max GO and use the service on any PC.

- I have tried on 4 different Android devices (Android 4.2 through 5.1), on WiFi (TWC internet) and on Verizon LTE - same results.  

- I have cleared the cache/data, and uninstalled/reinstalled the HBO/Max GO apps on all devices to no avail.

- Other services I pay for (WatchESPN, Fox Sports Go, BTN2Go, SHO Anytime, Encore/Starz, etc.) all login and work without issue on my Android devices. 

 

This appears to be a problem with the AT&T provider logon redirect within the HBO/Max Go Android apps.

 

Please help!
