# Common issues
This page is for when you encounter a problem with a source or the app.
## Basic issues
### Cannot Access SD Card
The `Cannot Access SD Card` error can sometimes be fixed by changing the location of your downloads to somewhere else and back to the SD card, then restarting the app.
Having a file or folder name that is too long can also cause this issue.
Android's file manager does not support filenames longer than 255 characters.
If you know the file or folder name that is the culprit, you can connect your SD card to your computer and shorten it.
Otherwise, delete the Tachiyomi downloads folder off of the SD Card.
### Storage issues with Android 11+
See [this](troubleshooting.md#undefined) section of the FAQ to learn how Scoped Storage affects Tachiyomi in Android 11+ and how to fix it.
### Slow loading
If any sources are slow, it is likely due to the site being slow, your internet being slow, or a rate limit applied to the source to reduce the load or IP bans.
### Reading is laggy
This is usually due to the images in the chapters being too long or large for the reader to handle.
If you turn have **32-bit color** on, try turning it off under **More -> Settings -> Reader**.
This helps sometimes to free up some RAM being used.
To eliminate this issue, find a different source that cuts the chapter into more pieces or downscales the images.
### App not installed
Refer to this section.
## Advanced errors
### Java.lang Exception: Failed to bypass Cloudflare
`Java.lang.Exception: Failed to bypass Cloudflare` means that the source you selected has Cloudflare protection on, refer to the Cloudflare guide to fix it.
If the solutions provided do not fix the issue, the source has likely raised the Cloudflare protection level high enough that Tachiyomi is not able to access the site.
### Unable to resolve host / Connection failed / Failed to connect to / timeout / connection reset
Errors like `Unable to resolve host`, `Connection failed`, `Failed to connect to`, `timeout`, `connection reset` mean that something is preventing you from connecting to the source.
Possible reasons include:
* Your internet connection is not good enough to connect.
* The app does not have access to the internet.
* Your ISP has blocked the site.
* The site is down.
Try the following solutions to fix this issue:
* Enable **More -> Settings -> Advanced -> DNS over HTTPS**.
* Use a different internet connection (switch to Wi-Fi, a different Wi-Fi network, mobile data or a VPN).
* Reboot your router.
### java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException / Chain validation failed
`java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException` or `Chain validation failed` means there is a problem with validating source's sertificate.
* Check if the site's certificate has expired.
Use an online service for checking SSL certificates.
If the certificate has expired, wait while the site owner to renew it.
* Ensure that you have the right date and time set on your phone.
* Try **More -> Settings -> Advanced** then try **Clear cache** and **Clear cookies**.
* Try using a different internet connection (switch to Wi-Fi, a different Wi-Fi network, mobile data or a VPN).
* Try restarting the device.
### Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.hippo.unifile...
The `Attempt to invoke virtual method' com.hippo.unifile...` error can be caused by various reasons, but they all have to do with storage.
* Most commonly, it is caused by full storage.
Check to see if your device or SD Card is full.
* Check if **Tachiyomi** has access to the SD card.
You can enable it in Android settings for app permissions.
* If you're downloading and this error pops up, that means the app might not be able to access the folder you're trying to download to.
This may be because the folder is corrupted or does not exist.
Use a file manager to check that the folder(s) exist and every folder in the sequence is available and accessible.
* The drive you're writing to is corrupted.
Check using a file manager to see if it is accessible.
## HTTP errors
### HTTP Error: 403
Possible reasons for `HTTP error 403`:
* The source you selected has Cloudflare protection on, refer to the Cloudflare guide to fix it.
* The source is down, removed the series, or banned your IP.
> Open WebView to check if this is the case.
### HTTP Error: 404
`HTTP error 404` probably means that the source is down or removed the series.
Open WevView to check if this is the case.
Migrate to a different source for this series if you'd like.
### HTTP Error: 429 - Too Many Requests
`HTTP error 429` or `Too Many Requests` means that the source banned your IP address (in most cases, it's temporary) because you could be downloading or reading too fast
We suggest [reporting](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/new/choose) the issue so that a rate limit can be added to prevent IP bans in the future.
### HTTP Error: 5xx
`HTTP error 5xx` like `500`, `502`, and others are server-side errors, and the source you are trying to access has problems on their side.
Open the source in WebView and check if the site is down.
### HTTP Error: 1006
`HTTP error 1006` means that the source has banned your IP address (in most cases, it's temporary).
### HTTP Error: 1020
`HTTP error 1020` means that you have violated a firewall rule the site owner has put up.
This usually means that the site owner has raised the Cloudflare protection level or that the site owner is blocking IPs outside their country.

### Manual Series Refresh
- Drag down to manually refresh problematic series.
### Test Other Series
- Try different series from the same source.
### Update WebView
- Ensure your WebView is up to date.
### Use Public WebView
- Attempt opening series in public WebView. Wait for CAPTCHA or Cloudflare protection if needed.
### Change Connection
- Switch networks (Wi-Fi, mobile data, VPN) and confirm IP change.
### Ask Others
- Get others to replicate the error.
### Source Status
- Verify source's status in a browser.

::: tip
An extension update may fix your issue.
Wait or check for an extension update if you have not already.
> There are no ETAs for updates.
:::
If any of these solutions help, go to [it only happens to me](#it-only-happens-to-me). If it is not just you, go to [everyone is having this problem](https://tachiyomi.org/help/guides/troubleshooting/#everyone-is-having-this-problem).
If none of these solutions help, try asking in our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/tachiyomi).
Check **#status-updates** first to see if your issue is known. State your app version and the source, manga, and chapter with the problem if it is not listed.
## It only happens to me
You may be getting a [Cloudflare](#solving-cloudflare-issues) protection, may have been IP-banned, or encountered some other counter-measure that website owners deploy against programs like Tachiyomi.
If that is the case, there is probably nothing that Tachiyomi can do to solve it. Some of them (like [Cloudflare](#solving-cloudflare-issues)) have to be manually solved, and some are temporary (IP bans).
**Workarounds that can the lower chance of an issue happening again:**
- Don't use downloads with the source.
- Have less manga in your library from the source.
::: warning
The above are imprecise and fuzzy rules because each site has its non-public limits and triggers.
:::
## Everyone is having this problem
If the site is reachable and fully functional, there may be an issue with the extension or app.
1. Have a look at open issues [for the app](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi/issues) and/or [**extensions**](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues).
1. It may have been fixed already but not released yet, so look at closed issues ([app](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed)/[extensions](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed)) issues as well.
1. If you can't find the issue there, open a new one.
> If the site is not reachable or has issues, all you can do is wait for the site to become functional again.

# Troubleshooting
This page is for when you encounter a problem with a source or the app.
## WebView
### Loading the website in WebView
Try to load the website in **WebView**.
> Note that WebView is not the same as using your browser.
::: tip How to open WebView
1. Go to **Browse** in the bottom navbar.
1. Press the source you would like to access.
1. Press the **WebView** icon in the top toolbar.
1. Complete a **CAPTCHA** if one is shown.
1. Once done, press the X at the top left to return.
:::
You may need to try this multiple times. You can also try pressing the **Overflow** icon, opening the website in your regular browser, then checking for a **CAPTCHA** there.
Some sources may have more advanced **Cloudflare** protection. If you are facing issues, try the following options.
### Clearing cookies and WebView data
::: tip Guide
1. Go to **More -> Settings -> Advanced**.
1. Press **Clear cookies**.
1. Press **Clear WebView data**.
:::
### Update WebView
To update WebView, you need to find what WebView implementation is used on your device.
In general, default implementation depends on the Android version as follows:
- Android 10.0 and up - [Android System WebView](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview).
- Android from 7.0 to 9.0 - [Google Chrome](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome).
- Android 6.0.1 and below - [Android System WebView](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview).
::: tip
Users on Android 7.0 and up can also see and change WebView implementation in [Developer Options](https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options).
:::
::: warning
Non-standard implementations like Firefox can lead to Tachiyomi not working correctly or, in the worst-case, crash.
It is recommended to set your WebView implementation to [Android System WebView](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview) or [Google Chrome](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome).
:::
## Cloudflare
### Solving Cloudflare issues
Cloudflare is an anti-bot mechanism. Some sources intentionally have a higher Cloudflare protection level to block apps like Tachiyomi.
You can try the following suggestions to help resolve Cloudflare challenges.
> If none of these help, wait until they lower their protection or migrate to other sources.
## Misc
### Changing your user agent
A user agent string helps websites identify information about the requester.
This information may impact Cloudflare's bot detection.
While some sources have user agent strings set, most rely on the default value set in the app.
::: tip Guide
1. Go to **More -> Settings -> Advanced**.
1. Change the **Default user agent string** setting to a different one.
> [This website](https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/the-latest-user-agent/) is a decent reference.
1. Restart the app and try accessing the source again.
:::
### Unable to install the app or extensions
Try installing [Split APK Installer](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai) from the Google Play Store, then use it to try and install the affected APK.
**Split APK Installer** will tell you why the APK is uninstallable, or it will install the APK for you.
Some common errors are listed below.
::: details INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package eu.kanade.tachiyomi signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!
If **Split APK Installer** outputs the above error when attempting to install the APK, you are likely installing a official build over an existing **F-Droid** build.
The **F-Droid** build has a different signature than the official build, so you must backup your data, uninstall the app, then restore the data in a fresh install.
:::
::: details DISPLAY_NAME column is null
If **Split APK Installer** outputs `DISPLAY_NAME column is null`, the APK you have downloaded is corrupted.
Some users experience this error multiple times after redownloading the APK, so keep redownloading the APK until it installs correctly.
:::
::: details INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS
If **Split APK Installer** outputs `INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS`, the APK you have downloaded is the wrong one for your CPU architecture.
Download the correct one or download the universal APK if you are not aware which CPU architecture your device uses.
:::
### Getting Logcats and Crash Logs
To dump crash logs following an app crash, go to **More -> Settings -> Advanced -> Dump crash logs**.
![Dump crashlogs](/docs/guides/troubleshooting/dump-crash-logs.dark.webp =512x386)
To get device logs if the app is not behaving as expected, record device logs using a [Logcat Reader](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dp.logcatapp).
