Good video…simple fixes. What’s not to like?! Quick question though… noticed you don’t clear the cache before you do the Force Stop. Why not? Doesn’t that help regain a bit of memory?

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

I use Background Apps and Process List often. I like to clear cache and then force stop. Sometimes I will force stop and then clear cache. Is it really necessary to clear cache? Which do you prefer. I know here in the video you are just doing force stop, but it will free up space on the firestick to clear cache as well.

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.

Only 5 open. Thanks for the "speed tip" too.

What type firestick do you recommend, as I currently have old ones that run slow regardless of what I do lol

Hello Curiosity, Thank you for all your valuable assistance. I have tried closing the apps according to your instructions but am having difficulty. After selecting the apps and entering my pin the screen changes. After stopping the first app I backspace but the next app does not appear. The screen does not change at all. I have gone through the instructions several times with Close Multiple and Close All Apps but with the same results. What am I missing (other than a new tv)?

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.

I only had 5 apps open. Thanks.

Do you use realdebrid on any of your firestick or android devices?

Whats the difference between closing and force stopping. Doesn't closing it actually stop it?

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

I went to featured content and turned both off but it still shows a preview for each

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

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

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