Hi @Justin_Kurtz,

Any change after reinstalling the app or rebooting the Android device?

Can you share a screenshot of where Roon freezes?

[Justin_Kurtz]

I tried both and no change. I can send a screenshot tomorrow. It’s the same as the other screenshot in the thread. It’s the very first screen. It freezes before any album artwork loads.

Thanks for the info, @Justin_Kurtz.

I’ve enabled diagnostics on the account and the next time you connect the remote to the Core machine the report will be uploaded so our team can take a look. We’ll be sure to update you once the team has analyzed the report and we have further feedback.

Just tried launching Roon on the android and got the freeze. You should have some info in the diagnostics.

Hi @Justin_Kurtz,

It doesn’t look like the diagnostics package reached our server, can you please open the Roon app once more and let it sit on the Overview screen for a few minutes? Once you have done so, can you please let me know to re-check our server? Thank you.

Resolved --- Freezing and UI issues (Updated 03/10/2020)

Our team has been hard at work gathering data and doing internal testing on this issue and we wanted to provide everyone with an update: In our recent releases we’ve been working toward improving Roon’s graphical capabilities, and unfortunately these changes appear to be causing issues on some older Android devices with certain Adreno 300-series GPUs. Our QA team (and our alpha testers) test with a wide variety of devices, but unfortunately the device that we use to test this GPU family happens…

I appreciate your patience while we investigate this further!

Roon 1.7 (Build 528) is Live!

Hi everyone! We have a maintenance release going live, with a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. As we continue to push Roon’s graphical capabilities forward, we’ve become aware of issues related to some older graphics chipsets. Over the last few weeks our team has acquired a number of older devices, which have allowed us to better understand how their drivers are misbehaving and work around these limitations. Today’s release addresses a number of hardware releases, along with…
