Mobile app 2022.11.0-full slow lately. Solved after reset but now slow again

Same problem for me. The companion app has worked brilliant until recently it takes a lot of time to load the connection and build the displays.

Was having a similar problem, I’ve updated to 2023.2.4 and it seems better.

Same here… Maybe it’s after the update to Android 13, but not sure. When I reinstall the app, it works for a day or so really fast, but then it slows down again. Changing the connection url to external or internal doesn’t fix it.

Could Android Sytem Webviewer be the culprit?

I have been experiencing this as well for a few months

I am experiencing this as well. Started some time ago. The app will randomly run extremely slow and often time out when loading. Any automations that depend on the companion app will also run super slow. Like one I have based on if I am in my home zone. When the app is running slow, I can pull into my garage and walk inside the house before it triggers. Normally it triggers before I even pull into the driveway. Notifications to the app are similarly delayed, taking more than a minute to popup sometimes.

Clearing app cache seems to fix it once or twice, then it goes back to being slow. But it also isn’t slow all the time. It happens seemingly randomly.

Loading HA via a browser locally or via Nabu Casa remote always works fine, it is only the app.

I am using Amazon Fire HD 8" and recent weeks if not months now, it is getting SO SLOW!
as per the topic I just installed Android System Webviewer -lets see if that changes anything because it is now simply UNUSABLE!

EDIT: NO CHANGE AT ALL!

I bought the exact same device a few months ago and did not face any performance issue till the last few days. Similar to the other complaints the app runs butter shortly after reinstall, but slows down a lot after that.
I switched from the HA app to WallPanel (like Fully Kiosk Browser, Open Source and similar sonsor features like the HA app)

Same problem here since a few months. It’s fast again after (on Android) going to settings->apps->home assistant->force close (or whatever it is called on your phone). As it is fast in the browser as mentioned here already that seems to be a bug purely correlated with the (android) app - not your ha version

I’ve just had this start to pop up recently. (Fully up-to-date stock Android and HA app) Of note, it seemed to coincide with me creating and frequently viewing a dashboard with a history graph with LOTS of values (the sensor updates every 1/10th of a second). I’m just viewing it while I setup a new sensor, so eventually I will remove the graph/not view it anymore. I’ll be curious if the issue stops then.

Only fix for me has to been to force close the app and then it’s snappy again for a day or so.

How has WallPanel been working out for you vs Fully Kiosk?

I found the best way to fix this is to goto you home assistant address in the the chrome app on your phone or tablet. Then click the three dots in the right corner of the chrome app then select add to home screen. Name the shortcut how you choose. When you click on the shortcut on your homescreen it will open HA dashboard but all the chrome options will be gone. It just shows the dashboard with no browser options like it would in the app with no lag though. If you are trying to connect remotely when you’re not at home use the app instead for me the app does not lag when I’m not on my home network. I think the app lags due to something with nabu casa while on LAN. Guessing it’s something in the script and it doesn’t know how to correctly choose which network to use when on a LAN. So when you are not on your local network it doesn’t have to try to decide between the two it just uses nabu casa.

thats incorrect even users who dont use nabu casa and have 1 defined URL still see this issue. Our suspicion is something changed in the frontend but its been very difficult to track and figure out the cause. Its something WebView related but its more random than that as a user may be fine now then see the issue in a month or longer.

Whether it’s nabu casa or not. The solution I presented works

Worked like a charm! The mqtt Feature is awesome, as I need to reload the page every time something from the frontend updates
