Anyone notice with the latest few Android Homey.app releases are causing the app to hang and be unresponsive? I have 2 x Samsung A10 Tablets mounted on walls running different Homey Dashboards with latest Android and reliable 5Ghz WIFI. These have been running very reliable since launch but after the last few releases the display appears to update but you can’t click on anything after running for 1-2 days. I am launching Homey.app with Fully Kiosk Single App and will next look to launch natively (without Fully Kiosk) to see if that improves things. Thanks ---

Hello! I use my dashboards mainly on my phone to see the “Insights” without having to click them together everytime I want them. My problem is now, the first page of the dashboard is loading, but only the visible widgets. Every overflown is not loaded. Also only the fist page works, the others are all black. Not even a loading circle, full black. Anyone else this issue? Phone is an Fairphone 5 ---

Any tip of a price efficient tablet that is good enough for a static placement. Or it’s a ”must” to have like an IPad or high end android one? ---

Landscape, 3, depending on the tablet’s overall font size (normal medium size). (more colums with swipe) When the tablet’s font is set to smallest, it shows 4 columns. I hope Athom gets realistic and adds a user settable column number at some point. ---

Yeah I got 4 colums right after I changed the font to minimum size. The screen zoom was already at minimum as I just discovered 🧐😉. But the minimum font size is not really practical, for me, in respect to readability. ---

Exactly my question in my just created topic: > [@\[Request\] Dashboard with energy widgets](https://community.homey.app/t/request-dashboard-with-energy-widgets/137914): > > Hi, maybe this information is already mentioned somewhere, however I was unable to find it. Hopefully someone could update the already designed widgets. I’m creating a homey dashboard, especially for a energy overview. With the widget ‘energy usage’ it’s possible to select a energy meter and you get a nice realtime overview of the energy. Green when my solarpanels produce a lot of energy and blue when it’s cloudy and i use more power then i produce. Unfornately i can’t setup in this widget a d… Don’t know if i need to place my question over here? ---

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you’re looking to show live camera feeds in your dashboards: my above issue was fixed in a recent iOS update. Don’t know what happened but the streams start and keep running now, like before. Not sure who to thank, but thanks anyway for the fix! ---

i bought a A9+ as wel and so far i am very happy with it. i just have one smal point i like to change but i can’t find any information about it. when i leave the tablet in kiosk mode the screen wil turn off after a set time(android setting) 1 minute in my case. i like it that the screen turn of but a side effect if that the app also stops working. the next time i turn met screen back on it is ofcoure stil in kiosk mode but it need to load the widgeds again. does anyone now if there is a setting to turn the screen off but keep the tablet active? i use it in a wall mount with a charger al te time so power use is not a big deal. the other option is to not turn off the screen at al but i don’t like the look and light of that option. excuse for placing this post in the dashboard thread, i just notice there is a thread for the A9+ tabelt as wel. how can i move the message tho there? ---

That are standard energy savings on the tablet. You can try to set display brightness to lowest instead or turning of. But you have to tinker with a system tool for, like Tasker or Macrodroid. ---

Maybe when controlling the tablet with Fully browser the app stays “active”. Tbh it’s really strange we have intervene with the dashboard just when the tablet is turned on? Oh, and don’t forget the smart battery management setting, in order to have the power brick plugged in permanently: ![Screenshot_20250615_160906_Device care](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/2995275297c33670e87363d8d516194914202c53.jpeg) > [@qawsedrf57](#): > > how can i move the message tho there?
