The Rooms app works best when it can show what happens in your meeting rooms all the time. On Android tablets, "Stay Awake" mode keeps the display from going to sleep during the day. This mode also helps with dimming in the evening to save battery. Follow the video or the steps below to keep Android devices from going to sleep.
Enable stay awake mode
-
Open the tablet's Settings.
-
Go to About Tablet > Software Information.
-
Select the "Build Number" 7 times to turn on developer mode.
-
In developer mode, find the Stay Awake option, toggle to enable.
Disable automatic software updates
Automatic software updates can also make devices go to sleep from time to time. This is why Robin recommends disabling Auto Update System while you are in the developer section.
Enable "Guided Access mode"
App and device crashes happen. Guided Access mode can help, because it restarts the Robin Rooms app automatically after a crash. It also stops people from changing the app on the screen. To learn more about Guided Access mode and how to turn it on for Android devices, see this external guide.
