User Feedback: Multiple Issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello

I just did an upgrade of tunes remote 2.5.2.

The older 2.4.2 version of this programm works very good on my HTC Touch2 
android phone, android version 2.2.1, no upgrade available.

The new version crashes very often and is VERY VERY slow when I ask the music 
library. (it takes more dan 60 seconds before the list shows)

I have 60.000 songs in my Media Monkey, 1450 artist, 5529  albums.

I Think the problem is that now all albums and playlists are also sent to the 
phone memory.

Another solution could be an extra option to get the old view back again with 
the old query of only artists

In the new 2.5.2 version, the search option often doesn't even responde at all. 
After entering the search string the display will turn black and only show 
TuneRemote+, and nothing happens

I Just succesfully downgraded to version 2.4.1.

What did we change between these versions? Is this the move to the library 
activity? Maybe it'd be worth doing a lazy load of artists, albums etc, I'll 
read up on whether that's possible. It might also be worth asking the user to 
submit some of the error reports, so we know exactly what the problems are.

And that is a whopping library!

I have this same size library and I definitely noticed it is slower.  Here is 
what I think it is on older devices....

1. The artist list loads fast but now we are loading Albums and Playlists as 
well.

2. The Albums list loads the first N album covers which takes some time and 
memory.  

Maybe you are right, if we can lazy load only after they click the tab the 
first time load that data with the Artists loading by default.

Wow, my library is only just north of 3000 songs. Yikes!

Okay, well I think it might be worth then staggering loading so that it only 
loads one tab at a time; I'll also look up lazy-loading examples and try some 
of them. I think the problem currently is that because they are in a ViewPager, 
the system see each page as being visible (and so should load itself), when in 
reality only one of the three are visible.

HA so with 3000 songs everything probably loads fast. :)   Yeah I have a 
gigantic collection and I test on much older hardware but it still surprisingly 
loads in about 10 seconds.  This user if he only has Android 2.2 much have even 
older hardware than mine.
