Hello Mathew,
You should provide more information to understand your issue like screenshots of the message(empty screen), what you have done, kind of OData service (public or on-premise).
I have seen similar issue with Northwind OData service when you will get empty screen on the device.
workarond: go to component.js file
Replace serviceUrl with complete one: http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/
Regards,
JK
