I'm sorry if the correct site is not here, there is a section of App Companion, if it is not please if you can move the thread to App Companion.

Checklist

  • I have updated to the latest available Home Assistant version.
  • I have cleared the cache of my browser.
  • I have tried a different browser to see if it is related to my browser.
  • I have tried reproducing the issue in safe mode to rule out problems with unsupported custom resources.

Describe the issue you are experiencing

For months, perhaps more than a year, the editing mode on tablets, mobiles, in short Companion App, when you access the editing and editing mode, sometimes even just with moving one element of a place, this mode goes to not allow any subsequent editing, you have to close the edit mode and return to accessed. In addition to this problem, it gives the feeling that the Edit mode and the app consume or exponentially fill the resources of the phone/tablet. This prevents you from fluent editing on mobile devices and that performance is consistent.

The problem is not fixed on any device, the versions pass and the problem persists. I don't know if the problem is being referenced, it affects only a few devices or cases, but I would like to contribute to your solution.

Describe the behavior you expected

Open Edit mode and be able to edit elements without limit, fluently and only save the changes when I intend to.

That the performance of the device is not limited as you edit more elements.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Use Companion App on Android
  2. Try to edit more than one item, rename, move, add.
  3. Try to edit, add or rename a second element, you will trigger the action of the card or enter "more information" or the action that you have written in that element since despite being in Edit mode, the panel mode will be unedited and all elements will be either actionable and non-editable.
  4. Even if you close the editor, save changes and edit again, as you do it several times, the performance of the frontend and the app will become torture.

It may be a limitation of my device, but it also happens to me in two tablets, it does not happen in the PC, web mode or browsers.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2025.12.1

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

Maybe 2024 versions

In which browser are you experiencing the issue?

Companion App

Which operating system are you using to run this browser?

Android 16

State of relevant entities

Problem-relevant frontend configuration

JavaScript errors shown in your browser console/inspector

Additional information

The problem persists even without themes, with virtually clean panels, or without mods/themes, etc. It also occurs in safe mode.

These steps might improve performance in the long run, but it seems the broken edit mode is related to performance.
