Some Samsung devices have enabled animations

0

Dear Amazon Team,

Can you please disable animations on "Samsung Galaxy S4(Unlocked)" and "Samsung Galaxy S6 (Verizon)"? Our tests are failing significantly on these 2. Is there a reason why these devices have turned on animations since we would expect they are by default disabled on all devices already? Other devices in our device pool have animations disabled as expected.

Samsung Galaxy S4(Unlocked): https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/home?#/projects/dc2068f7-4b09-417c-9909-b77f559c9641/runs/e048c9af-f684-4c84-a19e-08988a3b34c7/jobs/00005/suites/00002/tests/00017

Samsung Galaxy S6 (Verizon): https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/home?#/projects/dc2068f7-4b09-417c-9909-b77f559c9641/runs/e048c9af-f684-4c84-a19e-08988a3b34c7/jobs/00001/suites/00004/tests/00001

Thank you.

Hi Shreyans,

Thank you for the message. I am referring to "System Animations" documented in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/latest/developerguide/test-types-android-instrumentation.html#test-types-android-instrumentation-settings that should be disabled by default for quite some time now on all devices. I am not sure if the official documentation on that link is outdated (it's about android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner) or using latest and recommended AndroidX version JUnitRunner androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner is causing this problem but I can clearly see in videos in my tests on some Samsung devices that progress indicator is spinning meaning these system animations are enabled. Please note that on majority of all devices this round progress indicator is static image as expected (meaning system animations are turned off) and it's broken only on some Samsung devices.

Thank you.

Regards,
Dragan

Hi,

We have turned off animations for these Samsung devices for now. Please verify at your end, if it solves your issue.

Thanks,
