Seeking Help Has your Amazon Firestick become slow..??

[nsas02]

I've been using Amazon Firestick for past 2 years and I can see that it has become very slow in terms of responsiveness and launching apps. I checked the space availability and it hovers around 1.5Gb at any given time. Is everyone else facing this issue or it's just me?

Background:
I'm using the Jio fiber 30days trial and my parents are now used to Hotstar VIP subscription as they can watch all their soap operas starting 6AM everyday. I'm not planning to continue Jio post trial period. Currently Firestick is connected to my Home theater. So I thought of moving the FTv stick to TV so my parents can continue watching Hotstar serials, without turning on HT. Since FTv stick has become slow (compared to Jio STB) they're finding it hard to operate it.

Note: I own a 10 year old Samsung HD LCD TV.

Usually they become slow after using for more than an year. Did you try factory reset? You should consider upgrading to the latest generation, as they improved the performance considerably.

Yes, I am facing similar problems with 1st Gen firestick. It's very slow and take a while in term of navigation.

I am waiting for Google Android TV stick before the final upgrade.

3rd gen sticks are very good in terms of performance

Is it? Even in long run?

Is the upgrade worth or we can look at using some other Android TV Box altogether?
