Slow Typing when adding cards to a large deck

[Kyle Hipke]

On Note 4, I am having really laggy, slow typing when adding a new basic card to a large deck, of about 500 (which also uses Japanese characters). It only happens on the Front field. I assume this is caused by the duplicate checking feature which highlights the field if it detects another card with the same field value. I would much rather have responsive and rapid typing so that I can quickly enter notes than have this duplicate checking feature. I haven't found a way to turn duplicate checking off, though. Is there a way? This makes entering cards in pretty frustrating.

In general, you shouldn't see a delay there and 500 cards is not very much - how big is your total collection? Do you store your collection on an SD card by any chance or have any memory-intensive apps running in the background?

I stopped all the background apps. My total collection is 54,650 cards. Storage is weird... under advanced settings it says /sdcard/AnkiDroid. But my sdcard is empty and also doesn't even work. The actual location I see AnkiDroid files is in my internal storage root directory under /AnkiDroid.

Yeah this is definitely not the expected behavior... I have a similar sized collection and have never experienced this kind of behavior even on devices older than yours. Can you try running "check database" from the main deck list? If this doesn't help, maybe you can try creating a new database with the same data using the procedure recommended in the main Anki manual for corrupt collections:

https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#corrupt-collections

You should also try uninstall->reboot->reinstall, and then finally as a last resort you can factory reset your device.

If you have access to another device, checking if it's reproducible there would be useful, please let us know how you get on in any case.

Hello,

Has this problem been solved? I seem to run into the exact same thing. Anki dramatically slows down when you add new cards. Elsewhere the app works perfectly fine.
