PowerApp screen with timer is freezing

Dear

I have a splash screen with a Timer that has a duration of 200 milliseconds and on the OnTimerEnd event i Navigate to my Mainscreen. It has occured quite a few times now that users get stuck at this screen, on mobile devices as well as on desktops, on first use as well as closing powerApps and restarting it. I have changed the duration to 1500 milliseconds but this had also occured with this duration.

I am setting 1 variable in this OnTimerEnd event and performing 1 simple If check, maybe that is interferring ?

Other than that I have no clue for what is causing this, is there anyone that can suggest me anything to look for ?

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards.

Any chance the user is clicking on the timer causing it to pause?

Good thinking there but no, i have seen it freeze while no one clicked or touched their smartphones screen, i wille make the timer control the smallest possible and in a corner since i find it a better idea after your suggestion 😁 I will see if it never freezes or if it still does, thank you !

Try setting the Visible to False. 🙂 No reason to even show it I am guessing. 🙂

It is already set to false, it is a splash screen with the company logo so i would not see why make it visible neither 😁

You're not being ignored. 've seen the same issue you have.

Here's my code.
User selects an option from a Dropdown
OnChange of dropdown:
UpdateContext({varSpinner: true})
UpdateContext({varTimer: true})
Start Property of Timer is set to varTimer
Timer runs for 2.5 seconds
Stop Property of Timer is set to UpdateContext{(varSpinner: false})

The issue:
When user selects an item from the Dropdown, "ants march" across the top of the screen but the timer DOES NOT start OnChange.
It starts when the "ants" are done.
This causes the timer to sometimes not run at all, but other times to start late.

How does this compare to the issue you are having?

Thanks, @seadude--I think you're right here.

@dimi, it seems you will need to reconfigure when the timer starts/autostarts to match your expectation.

The timer is set to AutoStart, shouldn't i use the AutoStart then you mean and configure it manually ?
Not sure i am understanding the point made here (sorry )

Thank you all for the feedback!
