Anyone else having raid errors?

I tried 3 raids today (with a pass from yesterday, today and 1 bought) but I only got the chance to battle in one.
When I exchange my pass I get a minute to select my team and when it's down to 0 I get the 'arena' shot to do battle but then it immediately goes back to the team selection page. Everytime I click on 'battle' it's the same loop, but I never get the chance to battle. There were 2 guys raiding with me, but they had no problem at all.
So not only could I not catch the Muk (!!), but the pass I bought is gone.
Anyone else having this problem?
( I'm a lvl31 dutch player with a Samsung A5 device, other guys were lvl 28 & 36 with Samsung & iPhone)

Yes, I'm having the very same problem right now.
I'm waiting it out, if I can't get in I will ask for a refund and never buy a premium raid pass again. I wish Niantic was as quick at fixing bugs as it is at grabbing money.

I eventually managed to battle deleting the app's data from the phone, from the installed apps list. Not only the cache, all data. I don't know if that was what made it work.
Not a great start, but at least I didn't waste 100 coins.

I will defenitely try this out tomorrow when I get a new pass. I'm not gonna buy a new one again

Same thing here, Just before I was supposed to fight a red bar appeared in the top of my screen stating error and my screen jumped back to the rejoin battle screen.
The gym was yellow and I am blue, I thought this did not matter for a raid battle. Two yellow player succesfully defeated the raid-boss, but me (blue) and another red player were left out.
I tried to participate for about 15 minutes but could not start battleing, all I coud do was choose my team for about 100 times, but no battle only red bar error.

Frustrating

PS Just tried one more time, but again raidpass was taken but forget about to be able to fight the raid boss.
I'll try tomorrow again, no going to buy another pass.

Sucks to hear you got the same problem, but glad for me te hear I'm not the only one. If lots of people have this issue, maybe it will get fixed sooner rather then later.
About the gym color: the only raid I succeeded with was red and I'm blue. The other gyms were blue and they all failed.

Slightly similar problem. Waited for the boss to hatch from the egg and a red error message appeared. Joined the battle and it took me straight to choosing my team with a "rejoin battle" button.

Chose my team and took me to the arena shot and got kicked out to the boss menu with the top screen error message.

Really irritating.

Yes!! I am having this error and it's driving me crazy. I used two raid passes and got nothing from them. I managed to make it work once when I was on wifi but on 4G, no good.

Will try deleting the app etc and trying again but am pretty desperate for a solution as I was so keen on the raids.

Saw that message yesterday also, but had to wait till today to try.
Switching the time on my Phone to the time, given automatically by the network, fixed it for me.
Make sure when you use an Android system to put the automatic to "on", the fix shows "off" which I think is an honest mistake.
Just finished my 1st raid and got an Electabuzz.

Glad it finally worked on my Phone.
