819065 - [Gaia::SMS] Long initial startup time for SMS app

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 806592

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::SMS, defect)

Description

[Peter La]

What makes it feel slow/broken?

It takes a little longer to startup the SMS app after a device reset/startup.  Timed consistently around 3.0 seconds on Unagi running Dec. 6th nightly.  David Clarke to provide more accurate, recent numbers.

Did it prevent you from doing what you wanted? Why?

Along with making phone calls, SMS is one of two core communications methods used in our target launch market.  It's critical that this experience be as fast as possible.  While 3.0 seconds isn't horrendous, any gains we can make here would be important.

How does this make you feel?

[ ]  :)  I feel happy about it
[X]  :|  Meh
[ ]  :(  I'm upset
[ ] >:O  I'm angry

Device: Original numbers from Unagi, Nov. 22 nightly.  David Clarke to get Otoro numbers.

Details:

B2G on Unagi:               3.0 seconds
Android ICS 4.0.4 on Otoro: 1.5 seconds

David Clarke to provide updated B2G on Otoro numbers.

Bonus: can you attach a video of the problem?

Note: error above - the 3.0s time was done most recently on the Dec. 6th nightly, not the Nov. 22 nightly.

Hi Peter, there's a pretty extensive meta bug for SMS app performance in bug #806592, so can we close this as a dupe? That can be done from the "Mark as Duplicate" menu beneath the Additional Comments text field.

As [:jcarpenter] suggest, we should label this one as 'Duplicated' because there are some changes coming to SMS App in order to get a better user experience. I hope to have all changes ready soon! We are working on it ;)
