Games take a loooooong time to load with wifi - General Questions and Answers

I have a Samsung galaxy a70, my WiFi speed is pretty fast but it keeps loading games forever (unless I use mobile data or VPN). Although I still have yet to try another wifi network. But anyway, I play only two games, honkai impact 3rd and mobile Legends. Honkai impact 3rd just keeps showing me the loading icon for long after which it dissappears and comes again after like 2 seconds, and if I try online in the game, it doesn't let me join at all. As for Mobile Legends (it's a MOBA) the loading screen takes sooo long (it shows everyone's loading percentage) and I'm always the last one to load, the inside of the game is so smooth, my ping is usually 8ms. Even when I'm browsing Instagram, videos and comments will load as if my WiFi speed is 1kb/s. This doesn't affect any browser tho. Didn't try with Facebook. This only happens on my phone in the whole house.

Forgot to add: This randomly starts happening and goes away after pretty long

Maybe cause the server you're trying to connect is far away? idk i don't know about games that much.

Wireless networks use two main frequency bands: 2.4 GHz (gigahertz) and 5 GHz. These frequency bands affect how far and how fast data can travel over WiFi. The 2.4 GHz band gives you slower speeds at a longer range, while the 5 GHz band gives you faster speeds at a shorter range.
So, if you want the fastest WiFi speeds, you should always use the 5 GHz band. However, the more devices you have on one band, the slower your WiFi will be.

Wifi connection has nothing to do with loading screen .. what is your performance rating on Mobile Legends?

With regards to a Wi-Fi connection many aspects come into play, such as bandwidth, Internet speed and latency, among others.
When the mentioned games get launched they at 1st thing of all things fetch data / resources from Internet what will take some time which depends on the 3 above mentioned criteria. The progress typically gets shown on game's loading screen.
Same is the case when you from within the games try to establish a further Internet connection.
BTW: An Internet speed of 1KB/s indeed is really inacceptable. Normally the Internet speed is in the range of 700-800 KB/s.

goto Setting then Network Test then Performance Test and let Mobile Legends rate your device also fast loading screen have disadvantage you will never have time seeing enemy team hero selections and decide what equipment to buy to counter them ...
here's mine MediaTek Heli P20 rating on Mobile Legends not that fast but it's decent

It's not only on games, Instagram does not load videos at all, and my WiFi download speed is 5 mbps so I'm pretty sure it's not my WiFi at fault. As for mobile Legends, now that it added the data optimization thing at the start of the game, the loading speed is back to normal now. But honkai impact 3rd and Instagram remains the same, ESPECIALLY Instagram.

Ping (Latency) highly variable on LTE?

I've noticed lately that my ping at home is significantly worse than it is at work. If I ping google from work, I get 90-110ms latency. If I ping that night from home, I will usually get double that, in the 200-220ms range. This is all on LTE, using terminal emulator to ping google (dns resolved).
What I can't seem to figure out in my own testing is whether it is the time of day or something about the tower that I am using that causes the difference. It seems that on the weekend most of the time I get the poorer ping (~200ms) , but if ping is worsened by heavy load on the network, then it is not a very good test because load should be higher on the weekend (assuming here).
So, does anyone have similar exprience? Are there any tips or tricks for lowering ping ?
i've had it be weird also... and often times in the same location. i'll be at home and try, it'll be around 80 - 90.. then like 5 minutes later i'll try again and it'll be 200... and will just go back & forth even though signal strength remains the same.
possibly due to traffic.
A) Your pinging essentially a "wireless" router.
B) "Ping" is typically set to use the lowest priority if not disabled altogether on most networks.
Also dual-core brings a humongous improvement in latency. Try Bionic at the store next to the Bolt.

[Q] Slow download speed on a fast internet connection with an excellent wifi signal

I just wrote a long post detailing my problem and lost it all the instant I hit the 'submit' button because the forum timed out. AHHH. I'm sure some of you have been there and know the feeling!
Anyway, I just came across the revelation today that there is something seriously wrong with the download speed of my Infinity tablet. For as long as I can remember, I have had trouble watching Youtube videos. Occasionally, they would play fine. But more often than not, the streams would constantly pause every couple of seconds to buffer -- making the videos unwatchable. This behavior was the same on all the channels I visited. I don't watch Youtube videos that often, but it has finally irritated me enough to investigate it.
According to my tablet's wifi settings, my link speed is 39Mbps from my usual location. I brought the tablet to the same room as the router (an Asus RT-16) and the link speed increased to 65Mbps, but this did not solve the constant buffering problem. I then performed a factory reset and left my tablet clean, only downloading updates for the stock apps including Youtube. Unfortunately, the problem remained.
Now this is where things get interesting. I have a 12Mbps internet connection. I went to speedtest.net on my desktop PC and it reported 11.54Mbps down and 1.48Mbps up. Quite reasonable. Then I downloaded the Speedtest app onto my Infinity. Even with a 65Mbps link speed, I could not achieve more than 2.02Mbps down and 1.57Mbps up on the same server I tested my desktop. I then tried other nearby servers, and all them were between 1.65Mbps and 2.0Mbps down. 2.02Mbps was the fastest download speed I could achieve.
For a comparison, I then ran Speedtest on my Galaxy Nexus phone. It achieved 9.33Mbps down and 1.61Mbps up.
Any ideas why my Infinity can only reach a download speed of 2.02Mbps, even with a 65Mbps link speed?

I just downloaded the app Speedtest.net and ran a test. The results are 15526kbps download and 2806kbps upload. I used to have that problem with the stock rom. Currently, I am using custom rom and some tweaks with the tablet's network. It does not have the buffering problem any more. So far, I have no problem with streaming movies or youtube unless three or more devices sharing the same network in my house. My current settings on my tablet are Cromi X V4.6.6 and Hundsbuah V3.0.6 OC CPU at 1.8G all cores, UV about 35mV, and GPU at 700M. To answer your question, there are a lot of things could affect the network. These are a few major problems: the buffersize setting, low RAM memory, slow I/O, and other poor factory setting came with the TF700T. There are a lot of good information scattering everywhere on this website. With some research, you can fine tune your device. Good luck.

Thanks for the detailed response LMK. To make things more confusing, I just re-ran the speedtest about 5 hours after the first series of tests and the download speed is now 9.81Mbps down and 1.64Mbps up. So this is an intermittent issue which explains why I can sometimes watch Youtube videos without issue. I have been sorely tempted to unlock my device, but I have a stuck pixel and I was worried other hardware issues might creep up during the warranty period.

I unlocked my device after a few day of purchase. I never attempt to tweak with stock rom. Therefore, I don't know if I can help you further. There are a lot of experts on this site. They will give you some good advises on this topic. If you some how can access to build.prop and init.d, those area where I tweaked my network. Maybe, you can access those files with rooted. You probably can find some answer with searching on this site.
Could be RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Look around your house for wireless devices in the same freq range as your wifi router. Usually 2.4ghz. Cordless phones, baby room monitors, wireless speakers and sometimes microwave ovens. If you have any of these types of devices unplug them all then run your speed tests again several time to the same site. I get good speeds on mine using the speedtest app. Usually 19-21 mb on a U-Verse 24mb connection. But I had problems when I installed a rear wireless speaker adapter from Radio Shack for my surround sound system. It knocked me down to 3-4 mb. I beat my brains out (the few I have) for days until I unplugged ALL wireless devices (not PCs) and then one at a time plugged them back up running speedtests at the addition of each device. Then I discovered the RS wireless adapter was the culpret. Lucky for me it has a switch for three different channels. Changing the channel on it cured my problem. Placing my router on wireless channel 4 helped even more. Neighbors on either side of me are on ch 11. I also suspect the RS device was just about there too.
Just a passing thought. I hope you get your problem solved.
BTW My TF700 is completely stock.

Perplexing.
I have this bufferng situation also, if that's what is the culprit.
Solved my up/dn problem by removing my access point
I am 65mbps 13-24 mbps but can not stream YouTube etc. Plays a bt then the hourglass.
I think wi-fi interference would hurt the 65mbps connection speed not the upload/download speed.
I have a linksys router and the special Linksys modem built for Comcast system.
I can only look at system or apps conflict as the culprit but damn if I can find it.
I have been CROMi since Scot's incarnation.
Any Help is Welcome, thanx
Strange. On my stock TF700, with a good 65Mbps connection, with Speedtest I see 19Mbps down and 5Mbps or so up, about the same as my Nexus 7 and laptop. Are you using the same test server for all of your tests?

Slow Wifi download

Hi, when I download something with my PC/Nexus 5 I usually get download speeds of about 11mbits, but when I try to download files from the Play Store/the Browser on my OPO I have download speeds of ~2mbits... If I download for example 4 files at the same time with the browser it goes to 8mbit... It cant be the fault of the download server, because it gives me full download speed on my other devices...
Anyone who has encountered the same problems/who knows a fix?
Thanks, Tom.
same... Speed test on my one is just slow... I just got it today compared to other wifi or just data transfer seems slow
Change the TCP Congestion Algorithm on your phone, search on how to do it. My wifi speeds are perfectly fine, getting 80Mb/s+ on my wireless n router.
thought it was just me...
I had the same issue. You have to go to settings, WiFi and then click on advanced WiFi and uncheck WiFi Optimization.
Turned WiFi optimization off and back in business.
Now to figure out proper network settings. I find the phone not on 4g when it should be

Hi, I know the thread is old but my download speeds are slow with my OPO. And just with my OPO. (Iphone, Ipad, Former HTC One M8 works fine)
I realised it with the Facebook App and in the Google Play Store.
When I open the Store and go e.g. to games section, it shows me the games apps but not their pictures. If I turn off WiFi it works well.
Same in Facebook, I can read the comments but can't see the pictures. Again, turning off WiFi and using my mobile connection works fine.
I turned off the optimization, but it didn't help.
It increased the download speed (Speedtest App from Ookla) to 25 Mbits (from 12 with optimization) but the surfing problem remained the same..no pictures in Google Play Store e.g.
Im getting 40 Mbits with my Ipad 3 (without losing any) and 60 mbits with my Notebook.
I restartet the phone (shut down, wait 10 sec, turn on), turn off and on the wifi optimization, checked my WiFi-Channel with "WiFi Analyzer".
When i turned on the flightmode and then turned on only WifI, I got 55 Mbit download! My connection worked fine for a few minutes and went back to 12 Mbit (with optimization) and 25 Mbit (without optimization)
How can I fix this issue? Surfin with WiFi at home is not possible like that, even when I'm getting 25 Mbit as downloadspeed, which would be more then fine to surf on the phone..
Edit:
Im running the newest: 11.0-XNPH38R
Hey folks!
It's worth checking, take a look into Settings -> Performance -> per-app profiles. Make sure it's unticked.
With that option enabled I had maximum download/upload speed up to 5Mbps and it was driving me crazy, I was thinking of selling 1+. Anyway, disabling per-app profiles saved the day and download speed was as on N5.
Hope it helps.

[Q] Is GRID slow? Or do I need to optimize my router?

I live in Northen CA, quite close to the San Jose, CA GRID server. I have a 20 Mbps download speed with 20ms ping time, tested using the SpeedTest.net app within Shield. Same result when tested with my Mac, PC and iPad for consistency. I haven't made changes to my router or the configuration for the last 12 months.
I installed GRID app and "passed" through its network quality testing (it's within the app) and tried a few games - Borderlands 2, Darksrider and Dead Island. Horrible..horrible speed! It's like playing on a 3 fps screen. I am sitting next to where my computers are, so it's not distance connection. If it is, the router is only 5 feet away from me.
For testing, I downloaded OnLive and I have excellent connection and game speed is awesome (30 fps).
Does GRID have specific requirements, like within 10 miles from their GRID server or 30+ Mbps connection? Or it BLOCK device that are rooted?
OK, if I change the CPU to "Maximize Performance", I got smooth graphics. But now 90% of the time, when I start ANY GRID game, I got "Your game is starting" and nothing happen. Network is still good, though.
I'm in Florida, and my speedtests never show above 13 Mbps. That being said, I've played GRID 20+ times with perfectly acceptable speeds. Certainly nothing close to what you describe as slow. I get maybe a 2-3 second delay in response to my controller (Moga Pro) but its generally acceptable.
I haven't seen any evidence that they block rooted devices (mines rooted) and they don't seem to care where I'm located within the US.
I'm in Illinois and I get almost zero lag.. something is not right

phone speed & tether speed

hello I have been studying this issue for about a couple of weeks & still can't find no answer to this. The speed test on my phone you can see is pretty fast, BUT when I use T-Mobile hotspot tether why is it slower then back in the AOL dail up days 56K. I don't know what can I do that can at least give my hotspot tether a minimum of 2Mbps. Can anybody help me out with this issue appreviate it.
There are a lot of different things that could cause this. First of all you need to know that every provider recognize when you are doing a speedtest and they give the maximum that is available only for good test results. That doesnt mean that you could access the internet with that speed. Second, the speed of the wifi connection between your phone and pc could be very bad espacialy when you place your phone very close to the pc, for a good wifi connection it should be minimum 1m distance. And there are a lot of other things that could impact the speed like apps using internet on your phone or background updates on pc or a hundred other things. Nobody can tell you for sure whats causing this, you just can play around with it for a while place it on different postitions or deactivate apps and so on and so on...

Thanks for the food for thought. Correct me if im wrong the speeds that you do in speedtest results are the physical speed you would be using from your phone internet right or it would be a very lengthy lag when streaming videos & downloading apps. At 22 mbps a app that is 21mb would download just about soon as you click it. Sohow would these speedtest results not be the physical testing usage. I thought it was other 3rd party apps to bypass the throttling. I am gonna see if I can fumble somewhere in the internal advance settings. Cause its something Tmobile have if i purchase the unlimjted tether i heard i get the full bandwidth speed & thats the goal I do want to work on to achieve.
