TranslateTo Animation is not working on Samsung Android tablet

[joaodarocha1]

Description

Animation is not working on Samsung sung Galaxy Tab S7+. It is working on my Samsung Galaxy S23, and on the android emulator.

The visual element just gets moved to the position without respecting the animation length. I've attached a sample project and a video with the two devices.

await MovingSquare.TranslateTo(MovingSquare.TranslationX, MovingSquare.TranslationY - 100, animationTime, Easing.Linear);

The same issue exists in .net 8 preview.

Sample application, video, and software information is attached.

I got the exact same issue!
This issue must also be related : #7632

Devices where it doesn't work:

• Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G

Devices where it works:

• Samsung Galaxy S10E
• Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

(It also works on all emulators)
On iOS, it works both on simulators and physical devices.

I've compared the devices but can't find anything hardware-wise that should impact this issue:

The author from #7632 claims that the issue gets resolved when he did a factory reset of his device.
That does not call for hardware issue right?

I'm currently migrating a existing a Xamarin.Forms application to MAUI, and since the LayoutTo method is broken in MAUI (#15439) we are pretty much blocked by this.
In Xamarin.Forms, both the LayoutTo and TranslateTo method works.

I use the TranslateTo-method and it is not respecting the animation length.
TranslateTo is not correctly awaited, it goes directly goes to the "final" value.

Any idea why this is happening on some devices and not others?

I though I encountered this bug. However I turned off battery saving mode and the animations did play. Pretty cool that MAUI actually does this. Strange though as #17287 isn't merged.

Interesting! I did have battery saving on, on the device where it didn't work.
I can't test this right now, I did go with a blazor webview instead 😊

@HubbleCommand you are correct. @vallgrenerik I tested the animations on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ with the battery-saving feature turned off, and they worked correctly. I presume this is a feature, not a bug. It is very misleading and lacks documentation though.
