Well, that was quick. Same failure/bug this morning as before. Went to pause, then to home screen. This am, tapped the roon app, and got this screen, with boxes jumping around crazily.
As I said yesterday, nothing was fixed.

Are you having any issues grabbing a file in a playlist to move up or down (lanscape mode). Iām struggling on my S6 to find the right spot to touch.
No, as you can see, I currently have only bizarre display junk on the screen. As I remember, when it was working, I just could scroll the queue up and down in the normal way with a touch and hold and move up and down. The Composer list was a little different - the active area is in from the edge a little more than I expected. Donāt know about playlists though. Donāt have any.
I normally use a mouse and keyboard, but even with those itās hard, you really have to touch that little sq shape spot on, other wise you just scroll the page, not the track.
I just tried it on my phone, good god, you have to be a Jeweler with one of those magnifying eye pieces and hands of a surgen, haha, just donāt do this out in public, if anyone is watching, Iām not sure what theyāll think, but it canāt be good
I think youāre in the wrong thread here. It looks like RickinHoustonās thread is where this discussion should be. Iāve got my own problems
Where did this show up? Iām in ā1.8 has serious bug on Androidā and see RickInHouston two posts above mine, just above yours?
Iām off today and not working, so it would be easy for me to do that, my brain is in do nothing mode:
Jan I managed to create this issue last night on my Pixel C (after our chat finished). Not sure if it is memory issue, Roon or Graphics driver related.
Iām not sure it is a Roon issue, but there are Windows issues that were reported a bit similar so it could be.

Well, itās nice to have some confirmation. I agree itās difficult to figure out from what we have where the problem may be. Iām pretty sure itās a Roon issue, because 1.7 had no such problems at all. Itās not likely to be an external network issue, because my iPad and my Macbook both have no problem connecting and work normally with the same Core. But what exactly it is between 1.8 and the tablet OS - thatās hard. I hope that Roon gets in touch and we can run diagnostics to find out.
I was concerned that if your hardware didnāt show similar behavior, we were confronting a really difficult problem like a race condition inside the code, which would be dependent on details of individual tablet units. Iām glad it looks more like thatās not it. Whew!
Jan mine didnāt do it for a few hours so I will try again tonight.
It could be one of many things, but at least if we can reproduce it it give Roon something to work on.
Hi @dylan is this a bug you already have logged?
See the screenshot from @Jan_Martin above. I have been able to reproduce this issue as well.
Happy to do some testing if it helps
Mike
I got this very modern art screen a couple times today from Roon on an android tablet. Works fine for a while, then every so often goes whacky and has to be restarted. Never seen another app do this.
So I can easily reproduce this issue now by starting Roon and using it and then leaving the tablet (Pixel C) to go to sleep. Turn it back on a few minutes later and often it has a garbled screen that you have to exit the app and restart it to use it again.
Iām not trolling you now I recorded these last night and had not realized that I had not posted them. Timing is everything
(It was a late night listening session that I picked up again about an hour ago)
That is exactly the scenario I have tried to describe. If you run another app before you restart Roon, you can get an even more bizarre screens, more like what @sbr showed above, even animated sometimes. But all essentially useless for controlling Roon, and requiring killing and restarting to get it back.
Jan letās hope they can pick this up and work out what the cause is.
@sbr what version of Android is on your tablet. 8.1 for me and I think Jan said the same.
I have not been able to reproduce this issue on my phone
Same tablet, pixel C with 8.1 as google abandoned it.
As an aside,
I used apple for years, then jumped ship when they started selling a $300 Apple Watch with $200 of gold on it for $10k (exact numbers might be wrong but the idea is the same).
But then google started abandoning devices after only two years, and price matching apple so I went back to apple, who do at least four years of support.
And sure the pixel still works but it hasnāt had a security patch in years and donāt use it for anything apart from browsing and roon.
Yes I strongly agree and it was the last Google phone/Tablet I bought (though I have a Chromebook Pixel for work) based on their performance and switched to OnePlus for my phoneās
I dug this out of a deep hole just to test this out.
Slow as hell now but does work.
Back to my iPad pro that closes Roon down everytime I let the screen go off or decide to switch apps.

Itās probably just trying to conserve battery.
From my phones battery stats today
Roon - 23%, 12 minutes on screen.
Itās only being used as a remote,
Itās a series of choices for designers with limited options for us userās
Battery life over performance or performance with terrible battery life.
Part of taking all the option switches away
So is there any way to know if this is an issue Roon knows about and is working? Is there some other way to tell Roon support about this?
