Hi there,
last week I got a Sony Z5 Compact phone. It runs stock Android 5.1.1. I installed all my apps including Pleco but hadn't run it until yesterday. After restoring my settings from Google Drive I wanted to restore my flashcard database as well (also from Google Drive). Pleco told me it couldn't access that file, so I downloaded it and restored it locally. I played around a bit but soon recognized that Pleco runs quite slowly. Scrolling wasn't as smooth as it used to be on my Z1 Compact but what bothered me the most was that popup definitions took about 2 seconds to show up, no matter where I clicked.
So I decided to re-install Pleco, which posed quite a few problems. I removed everything and restarted my phone. For the first 2 or 3 times upon opening Pleco for the first time I couldn't download the files necessary to unpack and was told to download them manually at pleco.com/androidfiles. Did that, Pleco found the plecobundle.plc file but always crashed while unpacking. After a couple more tries I finally managed to get it running again. Now I again wanted to restore settings/flashcards and while the former worked without a problem the latter wouldn't because "Sorry, we were not able to access your selected backup file." although the flashcard file was still in the same folder as before.
The main problem, though, is that Pleco still is pretty sluggish. The popup definitions take a while to show up, switching between entries takes time, the menu slider doesn't come out smoothly and scrolling is pretty jerky. What's more, Pleco also takes some time to start and even crashes sometimes. Pleco is on version 3.2.23.
I hope that I'm not the only one with this problem and that there is a solution to it.
Thanks a lot for your help, Michael.
