To fix network disconnecting errors in Evil Lands on Android, clear the app's cache, remove system background data and battery restrictions, and set a private DNS provider such as Google or Cloudflare. Constant session drops in this online action RPG usually point to aggressive Android power management, expired session data, or carrier routing timeouts rather than server-side outages.

Clear Corrupted App Cache Files
Accumulated cache files and expired session tokens can cause authentication mismatches during zone transitions, dropping your connection to the server. Clearing cache deletes these temporary files without erasing your linked Google Play account or local game settings.
- Close Evil Lands and remove it from your device's recent apps switcher.
- Open Android Settings and tap Apps (or App Management).
- Select Evil Lands from the installed application list.
- Tap Storage & cache, then choose Clear cache.
Note: Do not select Clear storage or Clear data. Doing so wipes local configuration preferences and forces you to log into your account again.

Disable Battery Optimization and Grant Unrestricted Data
Android power-saving features can throttle CPU usage and shut down active socket connections when packet flow fluctuates during multiplayer combat or loading screens.
Enable Background Data Access
- Go to Settings > Apps > Evil Lands > Mobile data & Wi-Fi.
- Turn on Background data.
- Enable Unrestricted data usage so Evil Lands maintains communication even when system Data Saver mode is active.
Turn Off Battery Throttling
- Return to the Evil Lands app info menu and tap App battery usage (or Battery).
- Change the profile from Optimized to Unrestricted.
- This prevents the operating system from suspending active server threads during matchmaking or map transitions.

Set Up a Custom Private DNS
Default carrier DNS servers can suffer from latency spikes, regional filtering, or slow lookup speeds that interrupt game server handshakes. Switching to an encrypted public DNS provider stabilizes routing.
| DNS Provider | Hostname Address | Advantage | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Public DNS | dns.google | Consistent global uptime and low latency | Basic domain filtering |
| Cloudflare DNS | one.one.one.one | Fast query response times and strict privacy | Occasional localized routing hops |
| Default ISP | Automatic | Requires no configuration | Susceptible to carrier-level throttling |
How to Apply Private DNS on Android 9+
- Open device Settings and tap Network & internet (or Connections).
- Select Private DNS, then choose Private DNS provider hostname.
- Type
dns.googleorone.one.one.oneinto the input field and select Save. - Relaunch Evil Lands to test the connection.

Reset Network Settings and Switch Frequency Bands
Outdated routing tables and local network conflicts can interrupt packet flow between your phone and game servers.
- Go to Settings > System > Reset options.
- Tap Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth (or Reset network settings).
- Confirm the selection and enter your device PIN if prompted.
Once reset, configure your wireless connection:
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi: If playing on Wi-Fi, connect to a 5 GHz band instead of 2.4 GHz to minimize interference and channel congestion.
- Cellular Data (LTE/5G): If your home router enforces strict NAT types that block Evil Lands multiplayer handshakes, disable Wi-Fi and play directly over mobile data.

Resynchronize System Time and Update Services
A device clock that differs from server time by even a few seconds can invalidate TLS/SSL security certificates, causing immediate disconnects at the character selection screen.
- Turn on Automatic Time: Navigate to Settings > System > Date & time. Toggle on both Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically to sync your device clock with network time servers.
- Update Google Play Services: Evil Lands relies on Google Play Services for authentication and account verification. Open the Google Play Store, confirm that all system components are up to date, and clear the Google Play Services cache if verification errors continue.
