Network errors during online video playeback - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Device: Nexus 7 (2013)
OS: Android M 6.0.1
I've been having a problem with network errors popping up whenever I'm watching online videos on my Nexus 7. The video will load and play for about 5-10 minutes nice and smooth with no buffering, then a network error will pop up and I have to reload the page and restart the video. It's not like my internet is dropping out, because right after it happens I'm able to immediately reload the page, fast forward to where I was and continue for another 5-10 minutes before it happens again. It's not browser related either, it happens with both Chrome and Firefox. I thought it might be the "Google Connectivity Services" program that came installed, as there were a lot of bad reviews for it on the Play Store. I disabled that, but it made no difference.
I never get these types of issues on my iOS devices or PC. If someone could help me get this fixed that would be great!

Anyone?

[Q] Streaming Video and G-Mail very broken on my Evo 3D

Two big problems with my EVO 3D that are driving me crazy:
1. I have been having this streaming video issue for a few months now. No matter what streaming video service I use (although mostly YouTube or the G4TV app) the video will start to massively lag eventually. The timing is always different, sometimes its a minute in, sometimes its 10 minutes in, but it WILL eventually start to lag. The sound is still playing, but the video stutters or flat-out stops. And it turns out its not just the video, my ENTIRE PHONE lags when this happens, so much that the hardware buttons and touchscreen don't respond until about 30 seconds to a minute later. This only appears to happen when streaming video, already-downloaded video plays just fine off of the SD card. Half of the time Sense appears to crash when this happens too, since I see it restarting after I exit the streaming app. My cousin has an EVO 3D as well and this isn't happening to him, nor have I see anyone mention about this on Google ) the instances of lag I found were buffering issues. I don't have any idea where to begin finding out what is causing this, does anyone have any hints?
2. My G-Mail app stopped working. And I don't mean it stopped syncing like it has for others before, I mean it dosen't work anymore period. I can still launch the app, my accounts are still there, but NO new mail since Janurary 12 has shown up, manually choosing refresh does nothing. I tried rebooting my phone, and even clearing the Gmail app's data.... all it does now is say "Your email will appear shortly" ... its been saying this for about three days now. I can't even use G-Mail on my phone anymore! Help?

Are you rooted? If so, are you on a custom ROM? If yes, which one? On average a simple wipe fixes the problems you talking about. I can't say much about the streaming issue since I've never experienced it, but for the Gmail issue, go into Settings>Applications>Manage applications and find Gmail, then "Clear data". Once you set it up again the problem should go away (at least that's my experience).

As I said, I already tried that, didn't work.

[Q]Is the Browser supposed to be this slow?

Is this browser supposed to be so slow?
Before you play the video turn your sound down.
http://youtu.be/_67txGwMSP0
See how slow it is to load. Is that normal. I'm on a decently fast connection. My phone seems to load the same pages quite a bit faster.
That's sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwww
That is slow … has it always been like that or did it just slow down?
And as long as we’re posting videos … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNimNlYJ6xA&context=C368eccaADOEgsToPDskKnpI5_-1PwV27CP-5CZGF-
I played the video and opened the same sites on my View side by side and my device only finished loading the sites a couple seconds earlier... I also tried with Dolphin and got slight faster loading times but only in some cases. And that's with an ad-blocker enabled that should cut time by not loading the ads (especially flash based ones)!
Any ideas about further testing?
It has always been that slow. I've tried pretty much alll the other browsers out there and the result is about the same.
I'm going to try a factory reset. Unless someone else has a suggestion.
The weird thing is how it loads. Its starts off fast and then slows to a crawl. In some cases I'm done reading the page before it is completely loaded.

I noticed that … almost looks like a network problem.
One thing … are you running any kind of antivirus?
No anti virus. All of my other devices on the network run fine but the View is SLOW.
I tried a factory reset that didn't help.
Couple things you can try:
1) Open your wifi connection in settings and "forget" the connection. Then unplug your modem and router leaving them unplugged for 60 seconds. Plug the modem back in first and wait for all the lights to come on. Then plug in your router and wait for all lights to come on. Now reconnect to the router in your wifi settings. Download "Speedtest" app from the Market and run it. If you have an N router you should be getting a ping of around 50ms and download speeds of 10mbps or higher assuming you are close to the router.
2) If that doesn't give you the desired results, open you wifi connection in settings. Long press on the active connection and select "modify network". Under IP Settings select "static". Save and close out of the dialog box. Now long press on the active connection again and choose "modify network" again. Scroll down to DNS1 and type 208.67.222.222 and DNS2 and type 208.67.220.220. Then save and reboot your tablet.

I haven't seen this issue myself but I can say that web browsing has not been great for me. Got the flyer today and i have had more than 10 crashes in the browser where it just closes. This is happening with opera also. I have updated to honeycomb and have hard reset. Unfortunetly this is a big issue for me. Browsing is primarily what I would use the tablet for.
The pinch and zoom in the stock browser is very jittery and jerky also.
Anybody else?

Twitter videos keep pausing on wifi

Anyone else know how to fix this issue that causes videos on the twitter app to always stop playing, buffer then load again every 10 seconds or so while connected to ANY wifi connection.
Never happens on mobile data.
A quick google show it seems to be pretty endemic on Huawei devices but haven't seen a solution.
Actually, the only solution is disconnect from wifi and it work immediately.
Been going this since I got the phone and has happened across multiple updates.
I have found this problem on all Huawei, Honor phones I have tried (4 in this household alone) and not only on WIFI, mobile data as well.
Whilst not a total solution I have found Twitter Lite to be the perfect solution.
I can't find too many differences between the Lite and the full Twitter app, seems to be fully functional just looks a little different with no video buffering.
I've the exact same problem on my Mate 20 pro videos on twitter etc constantly buffer until you switch wifi off they play fine on data
if you like those videos you can download them with a twitter downloader

Apps not loading over Wifi

Hello,
I noticed a problem on my LG V30 H930 on Android 9.
Some apps won't load data over wifi networks (e.g my home wifi, sometimes in hotel), but not all (it works at my college, or in public wifi in shops), or they load very slowly.
For example Twitter : it plays videos or pictures only after 1 or 2 minutes of loading. However there is no such issue when I go on twitter.com in my web browser (on my phone).
Google Play Store : Downloading apps is stuck, it stays pending download for 5-10 minutes (sometimes forever). So I don't get updates whenever they are available.
Some games get stuck at the login step with my google play games account.
I have an Internet Speed widget showing only a few Bytes/s whne these apps get stuck, compared to 2-3 MBytes/s when everything is working fine
I don't have these problems using 4G
So I don't know if it is a network issue or the phone.
Do you have any idea ? Thanks
Are you using VPN? Try with that turned off if possible.
Please do hardware test using *#546368#*930# , kindly check if wifi test returns passed.

Wifi Freezing

Got the Reno 2 this week to try as ive never had an oppo phone before.
The only issue i have is when browsing on wifi every now and then it will stop loading any internet pages. Its looking like it starts to try to load a page then stops and the only way i get it working again is to toggle wifi off and on then pages load fine again until the next time. Its not my internet or router as every other device i have connected never has an issue.
Anyone know of wifi issues with this phone? Its still on Android 9 as no update os showing yet. I'd rather not send it back for a refund but i cant live with this issue so id rather find a fix.
