According to reports, some gamers have experienced a problem where the game freezes after catching a Pokemon.
This glitch seems to be occurring as a direct result of the server problems. Players will throw the PokeBall, it will bounce up and down, and after that nothing.
Here is the solution. Players should pay attention to the spinning white PokeBall in the top left corner. It shows that Pokemon Go is loading.
Players should wait till the ball vanishes and then force close the app. Players should have the Pokemon in question caught when they get back into the app.
A few players have suggested waiting to throw the PokeBall till after the spinning white PokeBall icon vanishes.
Messing with the device's cellular settings is another solution that has helped owners of iPhone 6. According to a Reddit user, players should go to settings, cellular option, then cellular data options, and switch off 'enable LTE.'
A few players have said that doing this has enabled the game to run smoother. However, it is not a permanent fix.
Here are some more tips to overcome bugs, glitches and freezes in the game.
When the game gives players the option of signing up through a Pokemon Trainer Club login or with a Google account, they should choose the latter. Individuals who sign up through the Trainer Club experience far less stable servers.
If players are stuck on the Gyarados loading screen, they should double click the Home button on their device, close every open app and then restart their device. It is a good way of getting past any restrictions to logging in. Furthermore, this could prevent any freezes or crashes during gameplay.
Furthermore, according to a Forbes report, there is a bug within the game that keeps all nearby creatures locked at a distance of three footprints. These footprints do not change no matter how much players moves in any direction.
The best suggestion to fixing this issue is restarting the app. At present, developer Niantic has not acknowledged whether this is a bug or some kind of random happening.
