Slow Loading on Android due to plugin

Even I have noticed significantly slower vault loading times on Android after updating to version 1.7.4? Since the update, my vault takes over a minute to load, whereas it was almost instantaneous before. Additionally, the app seems to be indexing the entire vault, which wasn’t an issue in the previous version. Even after disabling all core plugins, I’ve seen a log indicating that a core plugin took over 213,034 ms to load. This performance degradation is quite frustrating!

My understanding from @SiliasOS post is that they were already using 1.7.4 before this started happening.

@svk,

  1. how long does it take with restricted mode on?
  2. how long does it take with no core plugins enabled?
    can you post a screenshot in that case?
  3. Where is your vault stored exactly?
  4. what is your android webview version?

@WhiteNoise, After disabling all the core plugins, this is the results what I have got even

when I have disable all the plugins It shows one plugin is turn on so I have created new vault for testing purpose and even here it showed one core plugin is active when I have disabled all the core plugins, I didn’t include any files in my new vauly but it shows 19,834ms

But I found that editor-status was set to true so I have set to false in core plugin file in . obsidian folder and I have moved my files from previous vault to this testing Vault then it didn’t show any core plugin is active but I don’t know how 11,000ms came without any active core plugins

Later I have turn on restricted mode in previous vault which is not used for testing purpose, this is the results what I have got ,

I have stored my vault at /storage/emulated/0/obsidian

My Android WebView version is version 130.0.6723.60

well, it looks like you do not have a problem with everything disabled. You went from 210 seconds to 10, which not great but okay (considering you don’t have a new phone).

I suggest you start enabling plugins in groups and see if/when you hit major slowdown again.

@WhiteNoise okay, thank you but how 11,000ms came when no core plugin is active and my entire vault is being indexeds everytime whenever I had opened the obsidian which was not happened before

Even when no core plugin is enabled there is still something to do. Core plugins do not account for much usually. The timers are also not exact because some parts of the startup process run in parallel.

The indexing should go away over time.

Okay, thanks @WhiteNoise
