Roon 1.8 Android hangs and have to force close app [Fixed in Build 795]

Hi,

on my side the same behavior occurs since the update to 1.8. I have a Mate 20 pro still running on Android 9 and a Motorola device running Android 10.

I often have to kill the app.After a second or third try the App is usable. I reinstalled the App and checked the battery settings as well.

I found out I can sign in through desktop app which I guess is signing into the server. After that the Android app was signed in.

After yesterday’s update there was a sporadic moment of no crash and hang.
Today the android apps are pretty useless again with multiple kill all routines required to interface with Roon.
This really is starting to wear thin now.

I find it quite interesting that there is no interest from @support when I submit a stack trace from a reproducible bug. The feedback frequency makes me wonder - are you trying to fix this, or is it time to look for other solutions?

Yes, happening on my Samsung S8 too. Often have to close then start the app 3 or 4 times before it opens. Never happened at all before 1.8.

Oddly does not happen on Samsung tablet which is much older than the phone.

Today the Roon app (1.8, Android 11, Samsung Note 20 ultra) froze during scrolling albums. Had to force close the app.

@noris when does Roon plan to solve the issue?

Hello All,

Thank you for the setup details and timestamps here! We have been attempting to reproduce this issue in the QA lab but we have been unable to do so.

For those impacted, can you please confirm that you are still able to reproduce this issue on the latest Roon build?

There were a few graphical changes in our last release, Build 790, and it would be good to know if these changes also helped with the original hang behavior.

If you are still able to reproduce on build 790, can you let us know one additional timestamp of when the issue occurs? Thank you!
