ODK Survey slow interactivity response + errors

Good day,

May experience with the use of ODK Survey are the following:

1)Some time to load a form
2)Slow interactivity response - that is when I try to slide with my finger left or right, there is slow or even no response. Also, when I want to enter a value, such as text, the input field takes a while to pick up keystrokes punched.
3)Some time to load a new page of the form

The device specifics used to test: Samsung S4/Android 4.4.2

Is this a usual experience and expected as compared with ODK Collect?

Also, the following software-errors I experienced:

Unable to delete "saved forms + data" (Error message: Sorry, x of x selected form(s) fails to delete. "Delete Saved Form" is selected to be enabled at settings.

Where do I find the possibility to "Edit Saved Forms"? Not displayed among the list of Main Menu Items such as "Send Finalized Form"; "Change Settings"; etc.

Every time the Admin-settings regarding "Main Menu Items" is altered, it is only registered after exiting the app.

App crashes several times and needs to be "Forced stop"

Thanks,

Peter

I assume this is the rev 126 build. And you have ODK Sync installed.

Rev 126 is using jQuery Mobile for its rendering.

In our latest development tip, we have changed to use Bootstrap, which is
at least 2 seconds faster on page advance. We have also changed the
database layer to hopefully eliminate the database locking that can cause a
black screen, and that has also made everything more responsive.

On rev 126, you can usually avoid the database locking and the necessary
Force Stop by not entering and backing out of the app during a page draw --
wait for it to complete. If you move in and out of the form rapidly (or
rotate the screen), before it completes rendering, rev 126 can deadlock and
require a Force Stop. (This is a known issue:

ยทยทยท ------- Thanks for the report on the Admin settings page -- I will add that to our TODO list. -------- What form were you trying to delete? Did it have a filled-in survey? -------- There is no "Edit Saved Forms". Instead, you choose a form to open, then either create a new submission (data row) or edit an existing one. The form's first page shows the list of existing rows. In the future, this will hopefully be expanded to support filtering actions (e.g., show just the data rows that have not been finalized). -------- Mitch
