Roon Remote Crashes when Phone Unlocked with Lockscreen Controls Enabled (ref#IDUFE6) [Ticket In]

@vadim @daniel @connor @noris @benjamin - here is a list of all individuals who, over the past 6 months, have repeatedly informed you about this issue. What is your advice to this group?

@Christoph_Langenberg @Jdjung @CHENHAO_HSU @Dzmitry_Maiseyenka @tommi.lankila @David_Haigh @Moshe_Zolotov @Keith_Medansky @Adam_Klotz @David_McNaught

Ehh…I gave a very specific set of circumstances on the Fold 6 when it crashes. I never use Roon with opening, closing, opening, etc. and adjusting the screen size. I either keep it close or open so not a big deal to me. I will say though the app keeps disconnecting, but I think it may be a Samsung thing, where it tries to find the best signal and changes from mobil to wifi? I don’t know, just guessing here. I have a Fold 7 now.

Lock screen ROON crash issue on Samsung, seems to be resolved with the new update to Androud 16 UI 8.0

Glad to hear a recent Android update has helped you @Moshe_Zolotov!

We do not have any updates to share, unfortunately, but our development team has a ticket in for further work.

Since we don’t require additional information at this time, we’ll go ahead and temporarily close the thread until we have more updates to share. Thank you!

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· App causes samsung s25 ultra running one ui 8.5 beta to repeatedly crash and then reboot only when using as a remote to a streamer it is fine whilst playing to the phone

Tell us about your home network

· Fully wired through a asus gt be98

Hello @ian_storey

Thank you for reaching Roon support.

It would be helpful if you could describe the use case in more detail and record the ADB logs while the issue occurs.

Connect your PC to Android phone and install ADB (instructions are here (all platforms)). Then:

  1. Type adb shell in terminal
  2. Type logcat v (ref: Logcat command-line tool  |  Android Studio  |  Android Developers)
  3. Reproduce the problem and let terminal print logs for 3-5 more seconds
  4. Select output from the moment you started the reproduction of the bug till the very end
  5. Upload the log here and let us know once you have done so:

Hi @ian_storey,

Just to clarify a few key details:

  1. You don’t get this crash if you’re playing to System Output on the phone.

  2. You do get this crash if you’re playing to a networked endpoint.

Roon Remote won’t be responsible for the audio transport between RoonServer → network streamer, so we’re going to take this as an indication that the crash only occurs when the phone is not functioning as a Roon Zone (only a GUI/Roon Remote).

If you’re able to capture and share ADB logs per @vadim’s instructions above, that will greatly accelerate development’s investigation into this report.

Otherwise, a screen recording or a video taken from another device should also sufficiently illustrate the problem.

We’ll watch for your response either way. Thank you again for taking the time to submit this report.

Hi yes,
I have figured out that if i disable lock screen controls it works so im not sure if it is a roon problem or phone problem

Hi @ian_storey,

Thank you for following up. It sounds like you’re experiencing an intermittent issue reported with ARC when using lockscreen controls on Samsung phones. We have a tracking thread here and the team has an ongoing investigation:

We’ll merge your thread into the main topic thread so you can receive updates.
