The Android app is very slow the live feed often and freezes. I have a Samsung S8 plus with all the latest updates I have very fast internet connection speeds. By the time the live feed starts the people at the front door are gone. And forget about talking to them with that crappy speaker

Well I had a WiFi extender plugged in I was not connected to it but when I unplugged it I found the Arlo app started working better possible solution here just to let everybody know

2.4GHz interference, whether WiFi or other, is always a possibility. If the issue is the same for all cameras, I'd suspect something near the base while if only one camera is affected I'd suspect something near that camera.

Might be WiFi interference because when I turn my wifi off it works better

First of all you should know some of the troubleshooting methods ,


I will answer this from non-general point of view ,i.e., technical point

Lots of Android device come with  useless apps pre-installed and this happens in each and evry mobile whose OS is android
there is another occurence , manufacturer will load your phone with “experience enhancing” apps

In addition to the above,bloatware is not only affecting the speed and performance of your Android phone, but they also drain the heck out of your battery. A great app I found to identify these nasty apps is “Package Disabler Pro”, that identifies them for you and lets you disable them manually.

Once installed and opened, you will see a long list of Android services.

i am answering this from android training
