Something has changed for the positive since last night (11/6/2018).  I uninstalled the mobile APP as I have been doing daily to  attempt to solve this issue, powered off my mobile phone and left it off for over 30 minutes. I then powered it back on and reinstalled the mobile APP.  Everything has been working great since.  The APP version hasn't changed,  it is still Version 2.6.2_2280 with release date of 10/25/18... but something changed for the better.  I can now Live Stream all  3 of my Arlo Pro2 cameras, and can even Live Stream them all at once.  My mobile connection (not Wifi) appears to work better too, I haven't  yet tried any networks outside the home.  So, at this point, the APP appears to be working as before (prior to 10/17/18).  I will post if this changes.

Hi. Since updating my Arlo app to the new app, it keeps taking forever to load live feeds, sometimes it says camera offline and sometimes i get a black screen. Also the app is very laggy and keeps freezing. There is no problem viewing the live feeds on a web browser. I have tried un installing the app and reinstalling. Factory resetting the arlo base stations amd re adding the cameras again and the arlo app still does the same. Never had a problem with the previous arlo app. Ive got a arlo pro 2 system. Anyone else had any problems?

Yep.  New android app is buggy.  Browse the forum you will see a lot of similar issues with the new app.
