How to Register for KanColle Android Lottery

During the pre-registration period , on your main menu screen, there was an option on the top in the second button where you may register for the Android Lottery.

Players who set the Lever in the Registration option as "Registered" are placed into a lottery where random players of ~100,000 will be chosen to be able to start using the KanColle Android App first. (Devs said they're working to let as much users to be early users as possible). The result of that lottery will be communicate later.

The Pre-Registration ended on the 11th maintenance.

For some users, even after being registered into the lottery, it might turn red again on the next login. If that happens, it's recommended to do it with a different connection, clear cache/cookie, and use DMM page instead of the API connection.

Known Problems about the Android Client[]


  • A Text Error pertaining to the number of Development Materials used in LSC has been found in KC Android.
    • As shown in the comparison photo between the KC Web Browser LSC and KC Android LSC, the number of Development Materials players can choose to use in Web Browser is 1/20/100 but in Android it is 10/20/100.
    • Please do not panic as this is just a Text Error made by the KC Devs!
    • It has been confirmed to only consume 1 Development Material even though it showed 10 Development Materials in KC Android.
  • In some reports by other KC Android Beta Testers, the expedition text has been found to overlap, which shows the player 成功, 大成功 and 失敗 all at the same time.
  • There is a Bug where if you switch between the Home Screen and Quest List in KC Android, the BGM from the Home Screen will play instead of the BGM from the Quest List.
  • There is an issue concerning the size being rather large for both the KC Android Interface and KC Android Text in the Ship Girls List.
    • This has cause some of the Ship Girls Name to be omitted from the List itself (E.g. Kitakami) and only the Ship Type can be seen.
    • In LSC, players who have more than 1000 Development Materials can only see 3 digits as shown in the gallery.

22nd June 2016 Update[]

As of 22nd June Update, some Bugs and Errors have been fixed for KC Android as listed below:

  • Music Bug has been fixed!
    • Even if you try to switch between Quest List Screen and Home Screen, their original intended music will play. The Music from Home Screen will no longer play in Quest List Section.
  • LSC Text Error has been fixed!
    • LSC Now shows 1/20/100 instead of 10/20/100.
  • Text Size for Ship Girls Name and Type has been Readjusted!
    • You can now see both the Ship Girls Name and Type!

If the problem persists, try the following from top to bottom (if one item doesn't work, move to the next):

  • Try restarting your Android device.
  • Test whether the VPN is working (where applicable) by opening the Browser on your device. Verify if you are able to visit the Communities page without Regional Error.
  • Clear the cache at the start screen (bottom left icon).
  • Clear the KanColleAndroid App Data from your device's Settings/Apps menu.
  • Uninstall KanColleAndroid. Locate the Download folder of your device and delete all apk found in the folder. Restart and re-install KanColleAndroid.

If all else fails, make a post below with the following info:

  • What is the error? Provide a screenshot if it's not listed above.
  • What have you tried?
  • Which country are you in and which KC server are you on? (How is this relevant?)
  • Anything else worth mentioning.

Tips and Tricks[]

  • How to access Akashi Arsenal on Android:
    • From the home port screen, drag your finger from just outside the Factory button to the inside of that button, then let go. The Akashi Arsenal Button should show up. (See video for an example.)
    • From other screens, tap the clock at the bottom-left of the screen.
  • Instead of clicking the arrows at the bottom of the Equipment/Kanmusu Lists, swiping Left/Right around the page number will also bring up Previous/Next page.
  • The Equipment/Kanmusu List can also be viewed as a long vertical scrollable list by swiping the text area (in any direction).

FAQ[]

Do I have to start playing all over from scratch if I play on the Android version?[]

No. As mentioned above, the Browser Version and the Android Version will be synced to your DMM account, where you will be available to continue playing on your one main account on both versions.

Is the Android App safe to use? Will I get banned if I use it overseas?[]

No reports of Android users getting banned so far.

What about iOS?[]

According to a media report, a DMM staff had claimed that it's difficult to link the browser version's data with iOS apps, so even if they release an iOS app it would only be a separate version.

However, someone else had later asked the DMM staff the day after, and they had claimed the above response is not official. Some other DMM browser games do in fact have an iOS edition with shared data.

Note that currently there are some third party solutions that exists which could allow players to play KanColle on iOS, but using these tools may incur risks like account security or abnormal traffic against the game server which may result in the game administrators giving punishment against the related accounts.

Can I play the Android game outside Japan?[]

Yes.

I cannot log in with my Google+ Account[]

Log in with your DMM email/pass instead. KanColle Android app currently does not accept alternative log in methods.

I am a new TTK and I cannot register via Android[]

New registrations are now also accepted on KanColleAndroid as of Dec 9, 2016[5].

However, bear in mind that the Android version is relatively new compared to the Browser version and therefore lacks definitive methodologies in various areas (such as Troubleshooting).

It is thus recommended to sign up via the Browser version (and finish the 5 tutorials) before playing on KanColleAndroid.

I just registered on the browser but I'm still getting errors on Android[]

Make sure that you've selected a starter ship and completed the 5 tutorials on the browser version.

It has been reported[6] that failure to do so will trigger Message #04 (communication error) and prevent the user from reaching the Start Screen.

How do I take screenshots[]

To take screenshots of the game, press and hold the Power + Volume-Down buttons till you hear a sound effect (or flashes on some models).

For phones without volume control buttons, try holding the Power + Home buttons instead.

(KCAnotify only) I don't see translated messages for KanColle[]

Update both the app as well as database assets, do not update just the app itself.
