Title: Disable animation on mobile devices
Post by: Dragooon on May 21st, 2012, 04:23 PM
I'm fairly sure jQuery has a global turn of animation switch, and I think it should be enabled for mobile devices since they cannot really handle animations which are run via iteration.

Yep, yep, and it pisses me off all the time... :lol:
I'm just waiting for the day I'll update to iOS5. Their Safari is supposedly faster, and I wouldn't like to disable animations if it can handle them...
But right now, iPod Touch 4 + iOS 4.1 (or 4.2 or whatever) = shows 2 or 3 frames of any given animation.

BTW, to disable animations globally: $.fx.off = true;

iOS5 is not that much better when it comes to handling animations via iterations, when compared to desktops anyway. It's excellent in handling CSS3 animations though, but they'll require some work to implement (unless someone has already done that)

I thought jQuery used CSS3 animations when available..?

Nope, there are some extensions that do that though.

Meh... Didn't know that.
I never looked into CSS3 animations much, because they're not very fast in Opera, from what I could see.

I know that iOS 5 on a first-gen iPad kind of sucks :/

Suggesting to add a user setting to disable anims. Could even override it in skin options...

I second that idea :)

Haven't had any trouble with animations. I am running CM7 on a Samsung GTI5500 @ 600mhz with 187mb RAM and Android 2.3.7 using Opera Mobile.

My setup though is heavily modified from what you would find in a traditional 2.3.7 CM7 installation.

I'm running CM9 (Android 4.0.4) on GT-N7000 @ 1.6GHz with 1GB RAM and I can't stand the standard jQuery animations. Hell, the CSS3 animations are barely tolerable in Android's default browser.

Chrome Beta for Android? It's better, still not up to iOS' level.

The stock browser isn't that good in Android, it is pretty good but Opera is better. Wish I can have Firefox or Chrome but my CPU being a ARMv6 doesn't help.

I guess it is the mobile page you are working in. My device is spoofed as a Desktop so no problem I guess. :eheh:
