Have just quickly raised a bug report.

github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/3455

But will continue investigation here on weekend

Ok Halloween duty over back to s**t posting on the net..... hehe.

anyhew....

So your app is saying as far as construct goes it thinks the audio is playing and stopping within a few milliseconds which is good but not what is actually happening in the hardware?

also

2 more videos

Samsung S7 Android 8 = lag

drive.google.com/open

Hawaei P10 Android 8 = lag

drive.google.com/open

all of these devices are lagging between 300-400 ms (I have checked in video editor)

its a bit late and im knackered so I wont update the app to include animation right now but will do on the weekend

however I think there is enough evidence here to clearly show that there is a major lag issue.

edit > Tom I think there is far too much space between new lines (paragraph breaks) on desktop

No its a good test. I will try to update tonight. Wont be till much later tho.

edit > WackyToaster already indicated that sprite animation reacted instant but the sound still lagged. But yea will test later. Need to go out and scare some kids first tho.

Really appreciate you taking the time to do that.

What you have demonstrated there is some serious lag. Especially on the S8.

That is around 400ms.

Not only will that make a playing a real-time instrument impossible.

But if it is happening in Construct games that would also be unacceptable.

It’s at this point I would love someone to tell me there is some issue in my events but I think we are exposing serious touch lag issues on android here. (at least with regard to sound and at least on Moto and Samsung devices)

Slightly off track. Anyone with Apple I phone?, are you getting similar lag on website? (Wondering is this actually just a Android issue)

just added

Moto G4 - Android 7 (website) Lots lots lag....

Ok my dudes

hosted test app. my official app does nothing more than this. Turn you sound down a bit before try.

https://yamaforce.com/ironpan/open/soundlagtest/

top button to start sound

bottom button to change frequency.

have found that the hosted website performs slightly better than the apk.

debug apk

would really appreciate if people would try the apk. as it seems more laggier that hosted on the laggy device.

c3p (note I am aware that I am setting frequency every tick this is deliberate as it reflects the behavior of the real app as the frequency can be changed by other events also not just button press anyhew i get exactly the same results if I change the frequency only once on the button press)

Video Tests

Note: Im tapping the screen with my nail so you can hear the nail tap then the change in sound to hear the lag.

Cubot Power - Android 8 - Very little lag - IMO realtime playable

drive.google.com/open

Moto G5 - Android 8 - Lot of Lag (sorry I dont know why the sound is so low but you can clearly hear 300-400ms delay. This phone can play fortnight and geometry dash with no lag. so why is this simple app lagging?

drive.google.com/open

Moto G4 - Android 7 = lag. ...

Samsung S7 Android 8 = lag

Hawaei P10 Android 8 = lag

Galaxy Tab A Android 8 = lag

Galaxy S8 Android 9 = lag

all measured 300-400ms
