ps_imageslider on home page not always displaying

[squivo]

I am having an intermittent issue where the ps_imageslider module I am using is not always displaying. On a mobile device it does not display at all, and there are times when it vanishes on the Desktop browser. I can't tell if it's a hook not firing or an error happening along the way that dies silently. I am using v1.7.5.2 with module that shipped with it. It's only being used on the homepage right now.

Has anyone had this issue with this module before?  Where can I look further to find out what is going wrong?  

    public function hookDisplayHeader($params)
    {
	    //die( __function__ ); --> does not always print!
        $this->context->controller->registerStylesheet('modules-homeslider', 'modules/'.$this->name.'/css/homeslider.css', ['media' => 'all', 'priority' => 150]);
        $this->context->controller->registerJavascript('modules-responsiveslides', 'modules/'.$this->name.'/js/responsiveslides.min.js', ['position' => 'bottom', 'priority' => 150]);
        $this->context->controller->registerJavascript('modules-homeslider', 'modules/'.$this->name.'/js/homeslider.js', ['position' => 'bottom', 'priority' => 150]);
    }
    
    public function renderWidget($hookName = null, array $configuration = [])
    {
	    //die( __function__ ); --> does not always print!
		if (!$this->isCached($this->templateFile, $this->getCacheId())) {
            $this->smarty->assign($this->getWidgetVariables($hookName, $configuration));
        }

        return $this->fetch($this->templateFile, $this->getCacheId());
    }

Well... I took var_dumps all over the place, and finally found myself in an SQL section of the `getHookModuleExecList` function in the Hook class... at which point I went into my database, go the module id for the imageslider module, and from the `module_shop` table, I found that SOMEHOW the `enabled_device` field was set to 3 for that ID and all the other ones were set to 7.  I set it to 7 and well what do you know, it's working all the time now.   

WTF

Seems the slider is not actived for mobile by default (I assume to save bandwidth on slow mobile connections) - you can activate it directly in the module manager:

Thanks.
