Paramount+ not working error code apps 04036

I open paramount+ Via xfinity. It asks me to pick me profile like normal, I choose mine, then about 1/4 of the content on the screen loads, it freezes then xfinity exits out of the app and produces error code”APPS 04036”. The app has worked a couple times before, but was extremely extremely slow. My internet is very high speed, I also tried restarting the box and app and checking for updates. I tried calling xfinity support for help but I was hung up on twice with no call back and the third time the person went to get his supervisor and it just went silent for 10 mins. I’m not sure what to do or what the issue is. Tried looking up the code online with no luck. Anyone else have the same issue and resolve it somehow?

Thank you for reaching out to us over Xfinity Forums. Welcome to the community @user_a7cb00! I understand the disappointment that the app is not working properly on your cable box. Paramount+ is one of my go to favorite apps. This is a known issue. Our back teams have been working along side Paramount to come up with a solution ASAP. It seems to be only certain cable box models. Our team would be happy to try some basic troubleshooting and/or get you a new cable box.

 


Can you send us a private message with your full name, name of account holder (if different) and service address? To send a private message, please click the chat icon next to the bell in the upper right corner. Click the “notepad and pen” button. Send the full message to our shared support handle “Xfinity Support”. We look forward to hearing from you!

@XfinityAnna​ if we're all getting this error code, your employer should fix it. We're paying extra for something that doesn't work

Same here!! I even cleared all my cookies as one person suggested. It only made it so I now have to log into all my streaming apps again and paramount still does not work.

@user_dbd3a9​ so today I received a newer box from xfinity because the old box didn’t support using Disney+.  When I tried to click on the app it guided me through the steps to order the box all from the tv. It arrived in 2 days, was shipped for free and won’t cost me if I return the old one by dropping off at any UPS store. It’s a tv we only use when the grandkids are here so we hadn’t attempted streaming many apps. After it was installed we checked to make sure Disney+ was working and then I was like hey let’s check paramount on this tv and low and behold it works. We then checked a bedroom tv that the box was recently replaced in the same way for the same reasons. Paramount worked on that tv, too. We then checked all other tvs in the house and paramount only works on the 2 new boxes. I don’t know why the old boxes quit working when trying to use paramount+. I will be calling tomorrow to check into replacing all the old boxes. New box model CXD01ANI

old box model PC032ANI

They are the small boxes that they give you for extra tvs not the larger main box that allow you to record tv and playback. Hopefully this helps other people.

Hey there, @user_6c91b1, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums! I apologize you are having issues with your Paramount+ app! This is one of my family's favorite apps for streaming and I would be equally frustrated if I was having issues. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

exactly the same issue since signing up! I've worked with both xfinity tech support and paramount plus support. This is very frustrating and hopefully it gets fixed in the near term. Here is a work around that might help (it worked once for me). oh by the way paramount plus works fine on my iphone and fine on my android laptop just not through xfinity on my tv. just in case you really want to watch on an alternate device.

On tv got to settings

select privacy

clear cache and cookies

go back to apps and sign in

Will get a code

go to laptop or phone to Paramountplus.com/xfinity and enter code from tv

Good luck

Come on Xfinity fix the error problems for TV viewing.

I also am not able to get to Paramount+ due to receiving the error code: APPS 04036. I just got my Xfinity DVR and cable boxes in August 2021, so would assume they would be 'new' and not have issues with streaming service apps, unless it's an app issue.... Xfinity forum support, please contact me.  By the way, this is occurring on the X1 box. Haven't set up the other box with Paramount+ yet.

I went through the steps to clear out the cache, refreshed and restarted the box.  I'm assuming that some of the updates may have included patches for Paramount+ so at least now I get error error code mentioned. The box I have is an Arris AX013ANC. 

I also have one of the small boxes and functionality isn't as good as Peacock or Netflix, but at least I can watch stuff.

Same issue here. Only used the app probably just about 10 times or so, then started receiving these messages (and the app won't open)

I'm getting the same error code "Apps 04036" and haven't seen any answers from Xfinity either. I just changed to a new plan with abrand new box 3 months ago so I can't be because it's outdate. I was getting the Paramount+ programming with no problem then about 1 month ago the error code started happening and sometimes I just give up trying to get it to work. I also don't understand why Xfinity keeps saying "sorry your having problems and send us your personal info", just fix the problem.
