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.
Lock the tablet to Robin Rooms
Lock the tablet to the Robin Rooms app with Android app pinning or your MDM's kiosk mode. This stops people from changing the app on the screen. App pinning does not restart the app after a crash. To turn it on, see Google's guide to pin and unpin screens on Android.
