STOP CLEARING CACHE ON FIRESTICK to make it FASTER!

I don’t clear the cache to make it faster, I do it to get back some storage space (as little as it may be).

I believe this is the first video in a long time that your title /context is 100% correct (no disrespect). On firesticks in particular, clearing the cache does not speed up the stick. Yes, you will free ram, (as you'll see in the background app) but it will be used right back up when launching that app again or any other. It is better to let them "timeout" in the background, like other OS, s , this little stick is optimized well for what it does and the allocation of its resources, with the exception of a few tools by a few devs that do a great job with animation speeds and debloating, however it really only applies on the older OS's, not the newer. I created some debugging software and a lightweight apk like what maybe MSI afterburner would do as a basic example, and this is very accurate. Facts. I like this alot doc, keep with this format. Great work!

Thanks Doc. Speeding up my menu animation has made me happier than it probably should. It's been a peeve of mine with my Firestick and Fire Cube. Cheers 🍻

Hello Just watched the video about TDUK speed and downloaded the app. When launching I get an error message saying “Connection Failed Try reenabling ADB bugging in settings It also states another process may be using the shell. Close those and continue. My question is how can I determine which other processes are using the shell.? TiA

[@136relim]

Background Apps and Processes is a must have for all firestick/TV users. Force stop is a function that really helps on any apps you may have problems with. Background Apps and Processes helps to zero in on those apps still running in the background so you don't have to go into every app on you device to force stop.

I use the background app but lately it has changed and I don’t know what’s going on? After closes all apps it will come up and say there are 150 apps open and they are apps I don’t use , some I do recognize what most I do not recognize? Anyone know what’s going on!!??? 😮

The reason behind clear cache is to lesson Buffering from the links you click. It only takes a few seconds to do. I never experienced it in the way of slowing apps or anything for that matter.

Maybe you can help with this. When im using filmplus it has a habit of doin two things. One it doesn't play when i click a link i have to press play with to get something to play.

What does clearing cache do on Fire TV? If you're experiencing issues with a Fire TV app such as crashing, not working, content not loading, lag, or slow speeds, clear the cache. When you download an app, it temporarily stores data on your device- cache. Issues occur when a cache becomes too big; clearing it improves performance.

[@DocSquiffy]

This is what I stated

[@mikethespike2643]

I never clear the cache and I've never had a problem with an app. Either it runs or it doesn't. Under no circumstances does an app run faster if you clear the cache.

[@eknight101]

It’s like those people who put hot, as opposed to cold, water in a kettle in the mistaken belief that it boils it quicker - spoiler alert: it doesn’t - also, cold water has things in it that usually makes it suitable for drinking - hot water from the tap doesn’t - you could clog it up with limescale!

I've been using Amazon Fire sticks for the last five or six years now to run some apps that allow me to watch TV shows and movies. You have to clear out the cash and you have to go into the apps and clear out the cash and you have to go into the Amazon Fire stick to clear out the cache. There's such a limited amount of memory and Amazon forces so much bloatware onto their Fire sticks that if you don't clear out the cache all the memory is eaten up and then you can't run the apps that you've downloaded through the developer options. Maybe if you're using the fire stick only to view what they put on there you don't have to delete the cash but if you're going through a developer option type of situation where you put an app on there that is not an Amazon sanctioned app then yes you need to delete the cash and you need to constantly turn off all of the running Amazon bloatware crap with some kind of bloat tool.
