Hello, Discord user on my fairphone3+, I find the launch of the app a bit long, I could compare with a friend and his pixel 4a 5g, with him the launch is instantaneous.
How does it work on your phone ?
(no I don’t want to use other messaging app for the moment)

About 1 to 1.5 seconds. (FP4)

hmm It takes 4/5 seconds on my phone :confused:

4

3 seconds on my Fairphone 3 Plus

5

5 sec cold startup, either to register screen or chat view when logged in (moto g5, 2017 phone).

A warm startup is instantaneous though, but your friend must’ve shown you a cold startup, from the closed app state?

hot or cold, on my phone, it always takes 4/5 seconds to display the chat.

My friend did a cold start

so every time you bring the launcher to foreground, and go back to discord (hot start) - it’s 5 sec? that’d be weird

8

yes, that’s right, only on discord
even when clearing the cache etc

so this is a (quite plain) FP3 starting discord 1x cold, 3x hot, 1x cold - https://transfer.sh/2OAaNW/discord-fp3-cold-and-hot-start.mp4

and you say what is shown in the middle of the clip - the foregrounding - is 5 seconds each?

no ok, in the middle, its instant.
but my friends at cold, its instant or 1sec max
it’s not normal for a cold start to take so long

other applications like firefox or tinder open faster when cold.

With 80mb discord is not lightweight as a bundled react app. Pixel 4a has more cpu to crunch through this then a FP3. You could record a trace and send it to Discord, but I think it is expected behaviour.

If you don’t quit the app and have no memory pressure that will purge its process memory, I speculate you’ll have quick foregrounding until next boot.
