Wifi internet slow on apps - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody!
I have my note 2 over a month (really nice device), and now just joined this community
From the beginning I am facing this annoying issue. Wifi internet seems super slow on every apps I am using (FB, youtube, gmail, etc.) Sometimes even shows "connection timeout" error. BUT not on chrome or firefox browsers, they're working just fine. I've checked wifi speeds (home and office) with speedcheck.net app: 15-50mbps, that's not bad.
So, where could be a problem? Tried to uninstall some apps, use wifi fixers app, but none of this seems to work. And of course, searched all over the web for a solution.
Device not rooted, v.4.1.1.
Thanks in advance!

No wi-fi internet?

hey guys.
I installed ava froyo v6 and im having some issues with wifi internet connectivity.
Pandora, market, facebook, this app, etc work just fine on wifi. But the stock internet browser and skyfire both give a no connection error. Opera mobile works fine.
Obviously i have connectivity, so why not on those two
browsers?
Thanks for the help

YouTube loading slow on wifi

Anyone else's YouTube app load really really slow? I get 25mb down with Comcast and it will only load like 45 seconds of a video, stop and then load some more and then stop again. My One X loaded videos right away, is this just me or is this known?

In every ROM i have tried on all my devices the YouTube kinda sucks. My only fix is not really a fix but it works for me.. I just set the bookmark of the mobile site and give it a cool little widget and act like its the app.. Works like a charm lol.

Feels like YouTube allocates less bandwidth to the app access
I know its old but I have this problem too. Anyone knows the solution?

Well here is the thing only on WiFi is the video load time really slow. While I am on "4G" the video loads fine and quick. I know its not my wireless router because I went out bought a brand new wireless N router from best buy just to test and its not equipment. ( return the router after )
Can anyone confirm that it is the case?

Guys, it isnt your router, your modem or your internet. I had to play youtube videos on my PC at 240 p and still wont load... and i have a great internet connection speed. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens. You're not alone.

Check your DNS server on the router. Use Google's DNS server internet is faster. YouTube is faster on my computer than phone sometimes

On a 50mb connection youtube randomly starts buffeting for me on my phone (ran speedtest on my phone after and it was saying 30mb)

Facebook on nexus 7

As today Facebook app got a new update but I still feel that it's not quite good enough because of very slow speed, old UX& ... (as the app always was)
I'd like to know which app you use for Facebook recently.
I've tried Scope beta for few weeks, love the idea but still buggy and slow.
Thanks for sharing guys!

Same.. I haven't had an issue with it for ages.. It does what it's supposed to do.
I just go to facebook.com, looks just like PC version that way.
Facebook app is fine its smooth and fast no lag for me whatsoever
It takes 10-20 seconds of a black screen before it loads, but after that it works fine.
The problem i have is with its widget, i sometimes get a blank widget or it doesnt update.
Anyone with those issues??
I use flipboard for facebook, I really like the magazine format.
What's up with the Facebook website and Android? The input fields don't allow your dictionary to work and gets all screwy trying to type and backspace. It does this on any browser I've tried.
I just use Android Pro Widgets to use the Facebook and Twitter widgets for feeds, and click through to Facebook occasionally for notifications and IMs. I don't need instant notification about anything related to Facebook.

No issues here with the Facebook app. Loads in less than 2 seconds. Now on my phones it is a different story. They haven't ran it right in a year or so.
No problems here, more speed is needed with all apps to support Nexus 7 Quadcore CPU

There is a reason Facebook is working on a native app for Android and already did for iOS. Our current app is an HTML5 based slow piece of trash..,

I deleted facebook app ,using default cm10 browser is much faster..on a 20mbt internet i wait for 4-5 seconds and more for a 50kb picture to show,that app after 1000 updates is still bad joke.I left app only on my phone because of push notificafions but i dont use it.

Friend caster is pretty nice. Dual panel layout and everything. One problem with the official Facebook app is that it took so long for it to start up like 20 seconds for a black screen then another ten on the splash screen. Completely ridiculous. I heard they forced their employees to use android phones instead of I phones just to make them feel the crap they made for android.

Downloading large files failing

I use my device to download a lot of anime, movies and series. I download these large files with opera mobile, as the stock browser and chrome won't even download them properly. I notice that when I leave opera with the downloads running in the background, the Os auto kills opera for me and the download shows up as failed. I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem and found a solution?

I had the same problem with Firefox trying to download large ROMs on a slow Wifi connection while I was travelling. However I've only had this issue on AOSP ROMs, what kind of ROM are you using?
I just recently posted about my multitasking problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957439
Have you looked into a torrent client for your phone. I've downloaded a few movies(on WiFi) with no problems, even with the screen off. Mind you the phone won't go into a deep sleep but that's to be expected. I use tTorrent from the play store. That's if the movies you download are torrents.

I believe torrent clients see designed to stay running into the background. The opera mobile isn't, it keeps closing even when I'm downloading something. I don't wish to use torrents because the stuff that I download are all direct downloads. Not everything is available in torrents and torrents use a lot more bandwidth since you need to upload at the same time too.

Streaming media from computer to phone without wifi

So my basic problem is that I have a lot of media on my home desktop. It's a home built machine that has no sounds and runs windows xp
I have no problem streaming video over wifi. Everything works absolutely fine that way.
What I want to know is how to open media that's on my computer from a remote location (using a separate wifi network)
I'm currently using team viewer for remote access and it works for many things but it doesn't allow me to stream video to my phone. It allows me to play video on my computer and to view it but this is useless without sound
I'm considering trying to make a vpn but I'm not very computer literate.
Any suggestions?

No such thing has been done yet to my understanding, you can only stream over a WI-FI network so far

I think I might have found a solution and I feel sort of like an idiot. I'll test it out tonight and see if it works.

splashtop remote transmits sound
I'm trying the emit app it seems to work but I'll have to try it at work. As I said I feel dumb finding this a few hours after posting
I do seem to experience a lot of lag on videos so I guess that's my next problem to fix.

Emit works fine over the net (both on my own wifi and using my cell phones Ltd or other computers on different networks)
However lag when using it over cell broadcast is pretty bad and I'm trying to find a way to improve it
