[Q]Slow Google Play downloads - Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone!
So for the past few days my phone has been downloading stuff from Google Play at a ridiculously slow speed. I have a 1 Mbps connection and yet it took me almost an hour to download a 50 MB App.
I'm quite positive that there's nothing wrong with my Internet since I'm able to surf and download stuff from other places at normal speed, It seems to be an issue with GPlay only. I've already tried clearing the Cache & Data for both Google Play and Google Services Framework, even attempted a data reset but none of it seems to work.
So if anyone could suggest me a possible solution or even direct me to a thread, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

[Q] Google Play running too slow

Guys, I don't know what's the problem, I'm running .sense and Google Play app is running to slow, i need to wait for it to load and browse pages for days, like I'm having 10kbps dial-up, i have a 6mb DSL connection and I think it should run 100x faster than now, and also I'm experiencing downloading from Google Play online, sometimes it won't download to my phone, when i click download, my phone says that Google Play just crashed, I'm really getting annoyed by this
Must be an issue with the Rom and or apps you have installed.
I've had no issues with play store on any Rom I've used, and I've used a lot, but have never installed .sense
Marvel or Marvelc? I'm guessing Marvel, because Marvelc bootloops on .sense, but some people have been able to get it to work I think.
Anyway, how long have you been running .sense? Has this been occurring the whole time using .sense or only for awhile?

To really, really help you, we'd need to know:
ROM
Phone (Marvel(c/ct))
What your exact problem is (not: it doesn't work, what's wrong.)
What you've tried to fix it
may be not the problem wid google store
may be it not the problem wid google store......google sloved all the issues wid android market like download struck on 0% and slow browsing of apps......so i recommend clear cache and data of the app......and also oncedownloading try wid wifi
Sorry late reply.
But I was plagued by slow play store installs over 4 different roms.
I found out that them roms were using either SmartAss of SmartAssV2. I switched to "on demand" and all now appears to be fine.

[Q] |Toroplus| 4G Playstore downloads fail

I am facing difficulty downloading anything from the play store when using 4G connection. I can get great data speeds on speedtest and anything else data related, except play store downloads. SGS3 does not have the same problems. Wifi downloads are not affected.
Has anyone else faced or resolved this issue?
So far I have tried clearing play store, download manager, google account, services framework, even went as far as a factory reset.
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks.
Edit: Version 4.2.1
Turns out it was the towers. After NV upgrades to the others in the area it's working now.

Play Store stops downloading applications

Hello,
I am having a big trouble somwhere since the new Play Store was introduced. Everything was fine earlier, but right now Play Store randomly stops applications on "Starting download...". It happens both on stock and CyanogenMod ROMs. It just looks like it downloads the apps which it wants to. On the other hand it only behaves at home (2mb Wi-Fi) but at work (download rate about 5mb/s) everything works flawless. Also, on packet data everything works fine. Is it problem with my router ? I did not changed any settings for ages, so I dont think so. Or does the Play Store started to "choke" on slower connections? Any advice would be appreciated.
To be clear: I've tried reflashing, clearing caches of play store or download manager, wiping through recovery. Nothing works. I am using NEAK Note2 kernel, but I think it does not matter.
Best Regards.

Looks like you tried everything obvious.
But have you tried just using stock kernel? Just my 2 cents. Ml

Load times pretty slow when on Wi-Fi

This all started today outta nowhere. When I'm on WiFi, load times are pretty slow. For example, loading new tweets on Twitter, new posts on Facebook, going on websites on Chrome, exc. Everything that has to do with the internet and loading, it's pretty slow. And I know it's WiFi, because when I turn off WiFi and go back to LTE, the phone loads normally.
Already tried:
Speed testing on WiFi, and it's the normal speed of 60Mb/s
Restarting the phone
Clearing cache on recovery
You guys got any idea?
Mine is fine with an Apple Airport Extreme.

Can you download a Speed Test application and post a screenshot of the results when you are connected to Wi-Fi?
"Based on what you've said there's a good chance your issue is related to the bugged Android System Webview update. Could you look under App Manager > All and see if you're running version 37 or 42?
If it's 42 try rolling back to v37 by uninstalling it from either the app manager or play store. The newest version has been giving a lot of people issues."

Slow Wifi (except on gplay store)

I have had my 5x almost 5 months now and i have been experiencing very slow WiFi download/upload speeds, but on gplay store i get very high speeds, I've read that turning on Bluetooth helps but this doesn't work for me, I this a software issue, or possibly a hardware issue? Any suggestion would be appreciated. This problem has persisted over android versions (6.0-7.1.1) i have the latest radio installed (installed it using the zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/nexus-5x-radio-bootloader-recovery-t3433638)
Thanks.
Firstly, I wouldn't recommend installing any 3rd party radios in situations like this. Because if you are confident that Google Play downloads work reasonably fast, clearly your radio is OK.
The issue must be something else then -- for instance badly setup DNS or your router in general (which just happens to have Google server correctly cached).
Lastly, I'm 100% sure Bluetooth doesn't help Wi-Fi at all, it's the other way around -- if BT and Wi-Fi shares the same antenna, hardly they can help each other, they must multiplex each other, leading to more slowdowns.
every few weeks for some strange reason I get slow internet while connected to wifi, pages load very slow accoss all apps, never took notice if play store is affected, my tablet or computer connected to the same wifi works fine, so I know its not my wifi..... anyway, I found if I go into recovery and clear all cache, it fixes the problem for a while.... it returns every few weeks though......
