I can't thank you enough. I had a stroke about 4 years ago. I was pretty decent at electronics. Since the stroke electronics go way over my head. Your videos have made my firestick so much better.
@bradfordpaige20902 жыл бұрын
I can’t thank you enough. I’m new to the firestick and streaming in general. I just cleared by background apps and turned off the stuff in featured content. AWESOME. My speed has always been good and my firestick tv has always been in the same room as my router so no issues there. My buffering has never been a huge problem but like everyone else i don’t want it to happen EVER. I noticed a small amount of buffering today and came upon your video. i’m gonna start my movie and again and see if there’s a difference. Even if there isn’t I’m glad that I know about these features. Thank you again for sharing the knowledge and presenting it in a way that even the technically challenged can understand. Kudos!!!

We are a 'low tech' household but your teaching technique is very clear and comprehensible! We don't have buffering problems but I like knowing how to troubleshoot should the need arise. Only had 3 apps running in the background, mostly because we mainly watch 2 apps, PBS and KZbin. HULU was also listed and I force stopped it. Thanks for great instruction and helping others!

While watching this video to see why streaming on my stick did so much buffering, I downloaded the background apps and processes Android app for my phone. I found 76 apps open in the background! No wonder my phone has been running slowly. As for the stick, there were only 13 apps running, so I've concluded that it's the source. Thanks for the video; it was double help for me!

You're doing everything right! I subscribed to your channel 2-3 yrs ago and I have kept my Firestick in proper operating condition ever since. I check background apps every week or so and the speed test less so. The last time I checked I had 7 apps running in the background. I have an old Firestick so I probably won't get the new interface but I'm used to what I have, so I'm good.

I live in Central America, and right now, 10 mbps is pretty much what I have, altho they are soon to be running fiber optic here. After running speed test, I find that if I choose links that are 1080p & 10mbits or less, I have no problems with buffering. Sometimes I can stream larger links, but generally keep it to that limit and its good. Am running Syncler and Cinema on the Firestick.

I am also experiencing buffering issues on other apps outside of Kodi as well. Is there anything else that could be causing the big buffering problems. I’m running the latest version of the Firestick.
