Hello,
With my phone goes something strange with the internet speed.
When I use any browser or even skifire to watch videos is quite slow in the youtube app is the same, but if I use my hd2 internet sharing option on the computer I can see perfectly videos and I work to 1015 mbps.
I tried several roms and radios but the performance is similar.
I know I cannot compare a computer with the hd2 but I find it very strange that even the skyfire feel much slower than my old Samsung omnia I900L.
A similar thing happens to anyone or does anybody know how to improve navigation from the cellphone?
Ok so lately my internet stops working...and i have to turn off my wifi and turn it back on so it works again...i dont know if its youtube. But most video take fo evaaa to load and load slow when they start playing....is it just me. Or is it cause acer needs updates or is it honeycomb ....someone give me some input. Thanks....i dig this tablet but dam its annoyin now.. and i do have latest update...by the way
I am also having issues with Youtube streams. I've confirmed the same videos play fine on my laptop so I know it's not the video or my connection. It's impossible to watch a youtube video in HD on my tablet.
Just started having the same issue today, but I did switch from using intel's my wifi tech in my netbook to a netgear wifi router, so I'm guessing that's my issue.

i dont have any problems with the youtube player...all working fine...
maybe u can check the internet connection....i only got problem
with PhotoViewer....got FC when i try open it...anyone encounter?
Hello, I'm having serious connectivity issues with my home network foe the nexus 7. The tablet connects to the internet just fine, but everything is so deathly slow. I decided to take it outside and see if this was a problem with my router or the device. I tested it out at my school, my girlfriend's house and best buy. The issues disappeared: Play store fully loaded, I could download apps very quickly and the YouTube app loaded fine. However when i returned home, the same problems reappeared. Obviously this means that my router is not properly configured for this device, which is odd because all my other wireless devices connect to my network perfectly. If anyone can tell me what is necessary for me to do, I would very much appreciate it.
Please provide more info e.g router make and model.
Other devices connected to router and when u say slow it means slow web browsing but fast downloading or over all every thing is slow ?

Thank you for responding, your english was just fine. My router is a linksys E3200. I have 2 laptops, a galaxy s4, playstation 4 and kindle all connected wirelessly and they work perfectly. By slow, I mean that the play store does not filly load with images, 10 ,b apps take about two hours to download from the store and YouTube takes forever to buffer. As i explained above, this only happens when the device is on my home network.
ok i have E4200 and i had some what same issue too. all i needed was to update my router firmware.
I have the same issues with my Nexus 7 after updating to Android 4.3. Any ideas what I can do???
Hey, I have the same problem. Every internet connection is very slow (Chrome takes forever to load small pages, youtube videos dont start playing, ... ).My router is e3200 with actual firmware and n7 with lollipop. When I deactivate the 5ghz channel on the router the problem disappears.
Currently using my Shield TV as a media server for single user use. I have an external usb 3.0 hard drive connected. when transferring files via network from/to my pc, transfer rates are pretty low at around 5-10MBps, with frequent speed spikes during transfer, resulting in speed dropping all the way down to 0kbps, but then it goes back up again, but its not a steady average speed. If i were to do this between another networked device, speed is much faster and stable. Are there any settings or configuration files in android i could modify to improve speed?
I've got a possibly related issue with streaming as well. If i try to stream a long video, like a show or movie, stream initially takes what seems like forever to load, and jumping between scenes cause the pause again. I get that it has to buffer, but buffering seems to take forever for larger videos. This is most notable with Kodi, or other apps that stream video, and seems to be an issue whether the video is on the internet somewhere, or even on my local network. Youtube seems fine. though. Any way to improve this as well?
Everything is hardwired via gigabit connections
So if you plug another device into the same network cable and copy to the same external hard drive, you get better performance? Are you using SMB(Windows Shares) to copy files?
First thought is your network cable.
Second is SMB on Android SUCKS, though I have no issue streaming full spec HD over SMB in my current setup, but you won't get gigabit speeds on SMB with android and 5-10MBps is 40-80 mbps which is more than enough for streaming.
Try installing a speedtest app and see what it reports. Could help you identify if it's you network? SMB? or USB.
The intermittent speed issue seems to be the same whether transferring via ftp, webdav, smb, etc. im guessing its on the network but transferring to other devices other than android ( like to another pc for example) seems to not be affected, which is why im assuming the issue is something to do with the android device. its not my internet connection im talking about, but local connection on the local network. im using a netgear nighthawk r7000 router, with wired cat 5e cables on both the shield tv and pc.
the funny thing is my shield tv can even do gamestream in 4k, so i wouldnt think bandwidth is an issue, but streaming videos via software like mx player, kodi, etc seems to take awhile. like it isnt near instant, even at 720p/1080p. For example my external usb 3.0 hard drive is plugged into the shield tv, so the movies are on the drive. playing locally through the usb 3.0 works flawless, but streaming it to kodi on my pc takes a minute before it loads. dont get me wrong, once it plays, it plays and doesnt pause to buffer, etc. its that initial loading that seems to take forever. using the same 3.0 drive connected to my pc, streaming movie to shield tv running kodi, the issue is the same.
then when it comes to transferring, the same can be said with transfer speeds via usb 3.0 and ethernet. again, its all running on the local network, not via internet, so obviously theres some sort of network issue, but what? because when running via network on devices other than android the speed seems to all be there.
Similar situation here......also have an r7000
LAN network speed usually starts fast (50mb average), but gradually slows down to a somewhat stable 5mb
Are you using custom firmware for the router, or netgear stock firmware?
Theres an android app, that specifically tests network speed, search for "wifi speed test"
banderos101
Searching for wifi speed test in the play store results in several speed test apps but all ive seen seem to just want to test internet network? would need to test local network speed.
After more testing ive determined that the issue seems more obvious via ethernet. on wifi the connection seems more stable, steadying at around 5MBps, but eventually the connection slows and drops. On ethernet though, the connection is way more sporatic, bouncing continuously up and down, which is odd because obviously wired should be more stable. ive tried swapping ethernet cables and nothing seems to change the issue at all.
if only i could get 50mb average, id be happy, but im not even getting that. :\ when transferring locally on the shield, from the usb 3.0 external drive to the microsd slot or internal storage, speed is awesome at around 30-50MBps, so i know the capability is there, but its almost like the android network is somehow limiting performance. :/
Okay so after more digging I think I've gotten closer to the issue, now to just find a fix...
So after using WiFi speed test (which is great app to test LOCAL networks btw, thanks banderos101!) I notice that doing a TCP test is rather fast, averaging 50MBps on WiFi, even faster on Ethernet. However, the smb client tab for this app shows the same slow issue, and when you use it, it warns about slow speeds and suggest changing the "message block size" in settings to get faster speeds. So I do that and lo and behold, faster speed! The problem is the only thing I can find this setting for is in WiFi speed test app, and even a Google search seems to provide little information.
Does anyone know anything about message block size and how one could adjust it?
I'll give that app a try and see what I see, though I have no issues with local streaming.
Hi all,
I've had my Shield for 6 months and has mostly been trouble free.
Since updating to 3.0 Marshmallow network performance seems to have tanked.
Play Store is very slow to load. YouTube is very slow to load between channels and I have a hard time streaming anything over 480p. Sometimes I just get an error.
My connection is 100Mbps and I have no performance issues on my PC which is in the same room as the Shield.
I have a Virgin Superhub 2 for routing and a Cisco RV220W as an AP. My network is 2.4GHz but there are few networks around me so interfering is unlikely.
I factory reset after 3.0 update. I am also rooted but have no apps to use root yet. I'd rather not wipe and roll back to 2.1.
Suggestions?

Not sure how much help this is
Theres an app in the playstore that specifically tests your local network speeds, if you happen to have two android devices, install the app on both devices, one being the shield, and see if your having the same results.........i dont think its likely, but if it transfrs at full speed it might narrow down your search a bit........trial and error
Edit
Whoops.....forgot to link to app
