Windows animation scale

Hi folks in developer options do you change that? I don't know if it's Nova doing this but sometimes there's a screen stutter

Much faster at .5

Re: AC didn't list Turbo 2 in their list

They picked the A9 even though they say it has "abysmal battery life" while stating just a bit farther down the page that battery life was probably the main criterion to use when picking a phone.

And that's why articles by committee are never any good.

Faster loading but not as smooth?

Re: Windows animation scale

I am getting no stutter at all on MXPE. I will keep this in mind if I ever do.

Actually, I have gone into those developer settings on my 2013 X, but it still lagged/stuttered after the Lollipop upgrade.

Re: Doze app

it's not from Google, it's not the same thing. It's some app developer trying to get users & make money.

^^^ This. The app is bogus, not effective. Good only for turning your money into theirs. Pass on it.

It is, which means they're making money off advertisements and/or data mining. Either way, this is NOT the same as the "doze" features in Marshmallow. It's an unrelated app that supposedly helps with getting more battery life. I don't know anything about the app myself, but it's good to know it's not from Google as one could easily believe from the beginning of this thread. It may or may not be legit (but doesn't sound good from others' comments in this thread.)

Yep

But... if your screen is off all night, how can you correlate battery drain with the color of the wallpaper?

Re: SD card

You only need 30 mb/s for 4K video, which all Class-10 cards are designed to do. What you want for smartphones, contrary to cameras is a good transfer rate for 512 kb and 4 kb (kilobyte) random write (more important than read). In other words, fast transfer of those tiny files that app constantly write. People post their benchmarks on Amazon for pretty much every card available, so you can check for yourself before you decide. 4 kb random write usually goes from 0 to 3 in performance. You would believe how many high-end cards are sold (I'm talking 70mb/s sequential write and up), that can't even get a 1 in 4 kb random write. Of course the descriptions don't tell you that maybe they're not the best cards for cell phones. I personally splurged on a "SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB UHS-I/U3 Micro SDXC Memory Card Speeds Up To 95MB/s With 4K Ultra HD Ready-SDSDQXP-064G-G46A" because the benchmarks published by customers showed 4kb random write performance above 2.3, which is really excellent.

This is absolutely great advice and I think you are spot on, especially when M more tightly integrates the SD card into the OS/hardware. Those "short bursts" speeds will be imperative in running apps on the SD card, imo.

Good question... Well I started using regular wallpapers and I saw about the same battery life. So much for that... The battery is good!

Right. If the screen is off, you could have a black wall paper or screaming bright white wallpaper and its going to be the same zero battery drain from the screen since it isn't actually on.

Re: Windows animation scale

I always change to .5 the moment I get a new phone. I don't do it as a means of improving lag/stutter - the last 3 Droid phones (Droid Maxx, Turbo and now this) never lag - it's just a matter of preference. At .5 it just feels a lot zippier to me. I started doing it after reading an AC article that provided tips for how to improve user experience on Android.
