(Archived) Long (like 15k word) notes get unusable on Android

[GadgetAddict 3]

Hi,

 

Has anyone noticed that long-ish notes get very slow on EN Android?

 

I've had to switch over to Google Drive (Android) for a couple of monster notes that I'd really prefer to be in EN.

 

Does anyone have any tips?

Are we talking PDFs,  Word docs or straight typed text?

Good ol' straight typed text.

I'd think that's a problem with Android rather than anything Evernote related..

Perhaps - it's just that I notice it with EN when the note gets to a certain length, but the same length document in Google Drive is still usuable.

Maybe its just a different type of connection - the drive is a 'live' feed and (outside my comfort zone here) may dripfeed information to the device constantly,  where the Evernote has to be downloaded to your Android in full and handled entirely by the phone.

 

I hate long notes anyway - I'd rather use headings as note titles and link the whole thing with tags or a common title thread.

 

If it's a problem you could raise a support ticket - see below.

Thanks - that makes a lot of sense now wrt the way that the files are dealt with.

 

The long notes are necessary for the projects I'm working on: I've been using EN as at the place to generate the raw text that I'll later put into a word processor to format. However, with the longer documents I'll have to stop doing that - the phone doesn't look like it can handle it.
