Hi all,
I've been using SD for a couple of months now and I am very happy with it!
I just seem to be having some performance issues on my hardware, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0. I know it's not the latest and greatest, but also not extremely outdated.
A few examples:
- ‌Displaying georeferenced plates takes several minutes (not kidding!), no matter if in flight or in planning mode. In flight, this is not a big deal, since there is plenty of time when approaching. In planning mode, this is somewhat annoying.
- One t‌ime SD completely crashed right in the circuit. Probably because that was just a short ~10mins hop and it got too busy loading the approach chart (the chart of the departure AD probably was also still visible when zoomed out) and auto-zooming (great feature, btw) at the same time. I was approaching my home base, so no big deal. But still a bit worrying.
- In planning mode, ‌it just takes some time to update the map when zooming or panning. That's almost certainly a hardware performance issue and I could live with that

I bought this tablet specifically for flying, so it's a very "clean" setup, just the OS and SD installed on it!
Is there anything I can do to  get SD to run quicker and more stable? Or is my hardware already too old (would be a pity, I just bought it last year :-( )?
Is anyone aware of general minimum H/W requirements for Android?

T‌‌hanks,
Toni‌

Thanks for the hint about Android 5+! Seems I am having bad luck with my choice of Hardware here. Did some research on update availability and it seems Samsung never rolled out any OS update for my Tablet (they did for the 3G version, announced it for the WiFi version, but never did :-X )
However, I  checked my old Nexus 7 (from 2012!), which is really dead slow and unstable even when just surfing the web. But it has Android 6! And what can I say, the georeferenced charts are super fast on that one. Seems I have to make up my mind about which Tablet to by next :-( A Lenovo could be an option, thanks for sharing the info! In the meantime, I'll just switch off the georeferenced charts (with all VRPs and circuits in the base map, they are a very nice add-on but not 100% necessary).

‌Cheers,
Toni‌‌‌
