> [@PJ-AU](#): > > started having screen issues define screen issues? In general all Homey screen products (mobile app / dashboard / web app) are slow and sluggish. Don’t fool yourself by thinking buying the latest and the greatest makes it 10 times less slow and sluggish. Imho when users (finally) are allowed to disable all (annoying) animations it would improve performance a lot. ---

The screen refresh would continually create an interlaced effect. It wasn’t noticeable unless you were close, however i would rather replace under warranty. This will be my 3rd Galaxy as Homey/HA Wall Kiosk Panel after my original A8s had swollen batteries. For my 2nd A8 units I enabled better battery management until this new symptom with screens having a fault. I have tried a A9+ 4/64 with Homey.app and it works much better than A8, but agree with commentary the Homey App does lag. If I can get a good deal on 8/128 I might grab for extra head room as with apps loaded only \<0.7GB RAM remains on 4/64 with initial testing. ---

Grabbed 8/128 and it works great with 2 tablets, approx 4GB Memory remaining which aligns with my testing of 4/64. I did introduce kiosk helper app Fully Kiosk which has slightly higher memory footprint to Yak. ---

i’m also using a A9+ in a wallmount so far i’m happy with it but i have two things to improve, maybe the knowledge is already pressent by someone? 1. when i run dashboard on fully kiosk mode and jou long pres a tile then you can stil go to the settings and change the configuration and name of the divice. is this a bug on the dashboard ore did i do something wrong? 2. the screen dim function, i have a app to keep the screen on al the time zo if i walk by i can see what happens on the dashboard. but if i put the tablet in automode for the screen brightnes then it wil be to light at night, and to dark during the day. ideal would be if the screen went to the darkest setting wen the sun go’s down and to the brightest setting when te sun rises. does anyone now if there is a sulution for that? ---

1. I don’t think this is a bug. It’s simply not blocked. 2. You can’t adjust the screen brightness directly from Homey. You can, however, do this via the Android app Macrodroid. You can then make an HTTP request to Macrodroid from a Homey flow and have a macro adjust the brightness. In Macrodroid, this might look like this: ![Screenshot_20250716_224507_MacroDroid](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/1/41c06c92f882820f6bfbfa070d9f78de1f64705e.jpeg) ---

1. then i have to find another way to get it protected ore just make no tile’s on the dashboard. 2. thanks that look good, i wil try the app ---

I sometimes use a Boolean and the “Variables” widget to toggle on/off. Then nothing can be changed. ![Screenshot_20250717_150550_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/d/1d91abcd35de7e1c3e3567d39746fb052356f38e.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20250717_150647_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/e/befb775e97d53f00978146e63d451b675bf161e2.jpeg) ---

I gues that wil work, i wil try that as wel. I already did a instal of the macrodroid app and that works as wel. I could make a flow(macro named in the app) with information on the app. So no http request needed. They app can regulate the brightness without homey. ---

Yes, that works too 😀 ---

Can anyone confirm that Homey Dashboards’ landscape mode works on the Samsung Tab A9 (the smaller 8-inch)? I can’t find any information about it in this thread. ---

It works, but it’s slow in my opinion. ---

Thanks for your reply! You can’t expect a high-end device for this price, of course.😉 ---

Confirmed, it’s a very nice tablet, the display is top notch, pure eye candy. I like it! Yeah it’s not the fastest horse in town, but it’s really a great deal when your ~~wallet~~ bank account isn’t full of €€€ 😂☺ Oh, and it has onboard battery management tools, adjust it to your preferences and just leave it plugged in. ---

Just a question on other A9 users with a dashboard. i run 3 A9+ with the dashboard app but i can’t get the livestream working on the dashboard. if i open a dashboard with 6 tile’s of livestrem on my phone a S22 then there is no problem. if i run the same dashboard(ore another with only one livestream tile) on the A9+ then the part where the livestream should apper stay black. are the more with this problem ore is i just me? if it is just me then i need to check the tab, if not then i need to find another tab [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/galaxy-tab-a9/124664.md?page=1)
