Glen69,
Is this affecting all your cameras or is this issue occurring with a single camera?

Glen69,
is this intermittent or can you not view your live feed at all times on all devices? Does each device share the same symptom consistently or intermittently?

So what i found was live feed was considerably better on connecting without mains when i did the resync to base station BUT when i remounted cameras and connected them to mains via GENUINE cables,chargers things go to the crapper with long connecting to live feeds, black screens.....audio and recordings are fine, except for the odd cut out...As i said previously was never a problem before the updates..
So any ideas what to try next , Oh by the way everything only a few mths old.
Cheers.

I have the same issues as Glen69. Started for me on 10/17/2018. I too did a complete uninstall and reinstall. I have 4 cameras, 3 Arlo Pro2 and 1 Arlo Pro. All 3 Arlo Pro2 cameras use power cables, Arlo Pro is battery powered. The 3 Arlo Pro2 cameras simply stream Connecting when attempting to Live Stream when using Wifi connection via Android phone. The Arlo Pro (battery powered) works fine. When I change the phone to mobile (not Wifi) I have better luck but still get black screen frequently when connected but hear sound. I also installed the APP on my wifes phone (also Android) and she uses a different mobile service provider, I get the same issues, constant Connecting when attempting to Live stream via Wifi. I have also tried at 2 different households, therefore using different local Wifi connections/routers, same result . I think this is an APP issue , maybe specific to Android phones. This was never a problem prior to 10/17 and had been work flawlessly for several months.

If you mean the phone, mine is a Samsung Galaxy S6. It is an Android version 7.0. My wife is away but I believe hers is a Galaxy S7.

It seems that if support can't fix with a Restart Base Station and/or Router, Resync Camera, or Reload Mobile App then the issue goes into the wait and see queue. I keep uninstalling the Mobile App each day and installing hoping a new version will fix. My work around is to view Live Streaming on my laptop or desktop which BTW works great. I can also get some Live Stream success with mobile service and the phone app but it's not as reliable as the Wifi connection was previously on my phone. I had a friend ask me about my camera system over the past weekend, two weeks ago I would have highly recommended Arlo, I hesitated to recommend at this point. Something certainly changed at or around the time they released the new phone app.
