SPEED UP FIRESTICK - EASY METHOD 

Because this is a speed up video. If you clear cache you slow down the processing. Cache is memory and memory speeds things up. Only reason to clear cache is if you are low on storage or you are having issues with an app. We have low storage videos that talk about clearing cache. I don't unless the reason above. But I've added 2 terabytes to my firesticks, so I would rarely clear cache

So clearing cache is really only a storage clearing solution. It will usually slow down your stick. Cache memory was created to speed up processing. This video is about a faster stick.

First, what pin? There is no pin. Second, you hit the return button? I think you are doing something. Different. Maybe hitting the wrong button on your remote?

@@CuriosityCafe Thank you for replying. I placed a pin on my firestick right after I was charged for 2 movies which I thought were free! Also, yes I hit the correct return button because I tried them all. My firestick has had crazy performance issues recently so I decided to do a reboot which I learned from one of your videos. It worked. I stopped 17 videos and updated Paramount+ which would not play without the update(?). I realize this is only a temporary fix and I must upgrade my firestick and increase the storage capacity.

4k max gen 2

Wow. It’s on sale today! amzn.to/3TVumVh

@@CuriosityCafe thanks I got the 4k one, works a treat

No, no need

Did you reach out on Patreon? We have the installers there.

On the firestick it's called force stop. That's how you close them.

So the featured content you turned off was prime stuff. You might be seeing other apps like Netflix, Hulu etc previews. You have to go into the app settings to turn that off

Uninstall and reinstall

@@CuriosityCafe I’ve done that. But it doesn’t work. It sends to the App Store to download but it downloads the same old version

Interesting. I just updated mine fine. Uninstall, then restart your stick. Then re-install it. Before you do any of this, make sure you updated your firestick. Luckily if you can't get it, the old version still works fine

@@CuriosityCafe thanks for all your work and responses

You are in the US? Or have your vpn set to inside the US?

Did you uninstall and reinstall with the proper installer? The in app update was a malware. Just making sure.

@@CuriosityCafe I will look into it. Thank you so much.

For storage issues you would. But it will slow down your stick. You understand what cache memory is right?

@@CuriosityCafe I was always under the impression that deleting cache would help with buffering issues. Is that not correct?

No, that's wrong information. Cache helps processing. The only reason to clear it is if you have storage issues.

Just how they designed it

They do have a way to close apps, however not show you what's open. That's why this app is so good

Clear cache actually slows down the speed. That's just if your storage is low. Please be sure to mention that next time commenting

I don’t know that company. But you rent the router, not the modem. You can get your own router. It’s creates the WiFi signal

@@CuriosityCafe Ok. But I was told that I can not do it and it will not work, I feel like I was lied to because they will lose my leasing money. ViaSat is just satellite internet

@@CuriosityCafe What is your take on streamlocator?

If it's a sat service, you probably have to use their modem, but not the router. Don't get the two confused.

Streamlocator reroutes all signals. You will slow your service down about 200%. For some it doesn't matter. All depends on what you are starting with. You are better off with a high end router and expressvpn.com/curiositycafe - I suggest the reyee one we reviewed
