Scrolling smoothness - Huawei MediaPad M5 Real Life Review

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Huawei MediaPad M5 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

poor on some image heavy websites on chrome. The GPU just doesn't clock up for some reason.

Scrolling in chrome is slow on pages with a lot of ads.

Beware deleting files with the clean application
Do not use clean application for deleting files. After using it the scrolling got less smooth.. Pages load in less smooth way. Use instead files go from google. I speak out of experience. Untill i deleted files all was going well and it changed after i use it . The provided clean appp does not work . Beware.

Maybe the clean app did clear thr website cache and cookies...
That is why loading the pages were much slower.
Do try to use the same pages for few days and see if its better or lag even worse.

How does an app that deletes cache and temp files affect scrolling smoothness?

Do not ask me why but it did. That means the huawei app did not just delete temporary files. Assimple as that. Before page took 2, 3 seconds to load. Now the pagge is a bit unresponsive and suddenly loads. This does happen in liveleak. I could try a factory reset but i have no idea if that would work smootly. So better stay as i am. I am just warning people.

Thank you for your comment. I used this cleanup tool that comes with operative system. Huawei has its own operative system called emui. My op is emui 8 based
in android 8. Appart from this problem tablet is very good. The 32 gb version is a bit short of space but the tablet has slot for micro sd. The pro version has 64 gb of disk space

lol we really cant see gifs can we? LOL GOOGLE!!! make a protocol that converts gifs to a special format and patent it lol
And even if we can't in the browser you would think just looking at them after saved would show the animation but thats not the case. Even the basic phones can, like cheapo flips....
Good idea on the app wish I knew how, get on that and give me part of your earnings.lol. j/k
For playing animated GIF:
1. Download Opera Mobile (non Opera Mini)
2. enter in the address bar
file:
3. Select your gif
It works without HTC Sense
Either using CM or compiling Android yourself will allow you to view animated gifs just fine in the browser and has so for quite a while. I've not tried animated gifs outside the browser though. It was originally disabled because of the memory consumption as far as I know.
we can't??
I've been watching gifs on my Nexus One for quite a long time already...
Never tried on stock but def works on CM

Okay? I thought stock 2.2 displayed animated gif just fine, but it's been a long time since I used a stock ROM.

[Q] Text messaging is slow and fc's!

Hello all i have a stock r800x the phone has ran great for the last month but over the last week it has become very slow. mainly in the messaging app the threads take forever to come up or it will fc from timing same for the keyboard when you attempt to text. I will hit a letter and it will just hang up and fc it is a nightmare to text on this phone as of late. i do not want to do a factory reset to try and fix the problem because i have a ton of gameloft games installed and would hate to lose the game saves. also getting games back from them is a pain in the ass.
any ideas what my problem is?

Try clearing data for the messages app in manage applications
my phone has doing the same thing just cleaned the data for it will see how it goes
as much as i'm concerned, i tried quite a lot of things, including clear cache n stuff, but turning of 'Sync' (automatic sync) does aid this...

I can confirm this. If your Txt message database gets too big (too many messages stored, and too many threads) it will get awfully sluggish and occassionaly give you the FC/wait/Report options. If you hit wait, it should come back, but may still be sluggish.
I suggest that you limit all threads to a max of 200 messages (preferably 50~100) and that you delete any threads you don't still need. You can use a SMS/MMS backup application (several don't need root) to back up all the data if you want to keep it in case of needing info out of it, or for archival/audit purposes.
Completely clearing the data from the app (not just cache) will reset the DBs and after the first open to reinitialize the DB, it should be snappy again.
This maintenance will need to be performed regularly if you don't go into the app's settings to enforce thread-length limits.

+1 wise words, i dont keep messages, as soon as i reply the thread usually gets deleted, i know some people like to keep sms/mms messages, like ryocoon said though, there are many sms/mms backup apps out there, that you can use to save your messages
never had this problem with Handcent. ^_^

About Team-Nocturnals Shooter (Full sense 3.0) for Speedy

Great ROM, stable, no lag. But I have noticed some bugs or weird features in Team-Nocturnals Shooter, GB 2.3.4 Sense 3.0 dodge kernel 1.6, HTC Evo Shift 4g
1. It's near to imposible to add HTC widgets to the home screens because when the desired widget is selected, the system returns to the customize home screen section, so the widget isn't added or very rare.
2. When managing apps, if you go to the app details, sometimes it will start to compute the size of the app changing numbers very fast; If you click on the Move to SD card when the numbers are changing, you will move another app (not selected) or get error messages.
3. The Quick settings area at notification area show as second line 'Javascript' or 'Navigate away from this page?' in most options.
Question: Is it posible to use wide backgrounds and move between home screens moving the background to? I don't see how.
this should be posted on the roms post
Yes I know, but I don't have enough "useful posts" to post there.
Well we'll just see what we can do about that

hehehe Ok, I will do it, this is a very nice ROM and I want to help to find any issue as user.
Thanks
Ok, tnx a lot. I'll do it.
In the meanwhile, I noticed that the apps moved to a SD card and added to any home screen, will lose their stock icon in the next boot, showing the generic android app icon. That's another issue with this rom.
This is a probably more a question than a incident. I use an app to protect apps from running without a pin or password to protect privacy. Smart applock Pro. I used the stock rom, cm7 based, sense based, and this is the only rom where I'm getting a message from the market telling that the app is not suitable for my device.
The free version doesn't show that message, and was installed without any trouble. Developer or ROM issue? I will check.

i have the same issue here. this works in mikg. but not in shooter... i've done a full wipe too.... any ideas?
Suddenly with this rom my cel become more and more unstable, I got frequent reboots, some lags and error messages. And even I never had the video playing issue (I read somewhere people with an issue when playing video) it finally appear . Plus now, when a I get a call, the caller id image is like garbage video. I liked this rom at first because is fast and has the best sense I've seen since the stock rom. But I'm not using it anymore, I changed briefly to MikRunny beta (sense 3.5), it's a little heavier than this, but better I think. I returned to a cm7 based rom because MikRunny is at beta stage and I noticed the enable/disable 3g control is broken and I can't switch between networks easy, just rebooting.
May be the celphone became unstable because I was trying different values for the cpu clock and governor. I was using dodge kernel and played with smartass, ondemand and interactive governor settings, and with bfq and deadline schedulers. My best experience was with deadline and ondemand scheduler. It was as if I had a new and faster phone.

may have found a easy fix for laggy/crashing 4.3

Might get crapped on for another 4.3 thread but I think this needs attention/testing
Go to running apps cached processes.
Find download manager
Force stop clear cache delete data
Reboot
PROFIT
I have no more wake lock, lag, crashing, ghost notifications

The only thing that helped me so far was changing the kernel to Yank555-lu v4.0 kernel.
battery life quadrupled and almost no lags.
better than the performance i got from 4.1.2

Thanks for your actual input
Since doin this I've not crashed lagged or wake lagged once
I was also getting 20+ ghost image/document downloads in the notification bar...now thats gone too
Seemed the stock android download manager was causing a major problem for me anyways:good:
That do nothing...tell me here what you want in this forum.

I don't know how but it actually is working, because now instead of up to 8 seconds wakeup lag it's down to no more than 2 seconds lag, but I'll keep the phone running and see if the lag comes back.

Well it did for me, but still they say it might not work for every device depending on settings and use; as some use background processes limit and it makes system process a little bit slower to launch.

na cause when you back out it goes back to default and show nothing optimized again. Makes you pickes apps again. Even after reboot. I bet if you check it will correct itsself. Sorry this does not work

I am checking my claims(on my own phone lol)
Noice I did feel it being faster
got one ui 2.1 update in Pakistan...fingerprint feels hella fast than before....firmware is off course availabile on sam mobile...try it out...definitely u ll feel difference in fingerprint
What i did:
i recorded one finger a bit over 50%, then i use the same finger of the other hand to fill it up to 100%.
This procedure i repeated twice for another two fingers.
It doesn´t make it that faster, but it´s much more comfortable, because i can use 6 instead of 3 fingers.
The problem is that 8 out of 10 times it says "no match".

Are you using glass screen protector?
it works and in the one ui 2.5 it is already preset not optimized, so samsung understood why the unlocking of the device was slow and they solved this problem.
anyway thanks for the guide
