Why is Cinema HD APK Buffering?

First of all, let’s understand what buffering is. Buffering is essentially video lag, which is when you see a buffering notification or a loading icon.

When we stream a video on our device, the app/service always downloads some amount of video in advance so that it has that data in reserve. This makes sure there aren’t any lags in the streaming process, making sure you experience flawless playback. However, there are times when this process does not work that well, that’s when you see buffering errors.

There are 4 common factors which could cause Cinema HD buffering problems. These include:

• Poor Internet Connection
• Other applications/devices hogging your network bandwidth
• Particular Content Restricted in your Geo-Location
• Low Storage/RAM

Solution 2: Optimize Your Wi-Fi for Smooth Streaming

It is also possible that the other applications are hogging your network bandwidth. If you are using multiple devices at the same time or even streaming and downloading simultaneously, in the background, they will be battling for network bandwidth.

Check what else is using the same internet connection when you are trying to stream on Cinema. There may be other devices or activities that are hogging a lot of that precious bandwidth that is necessary to stream on Cinema APK. You could just turn off other devices or prioritize devices in your router’s settings.

Solution 3: Use a VPN Service If Your Cinema APK is Buffering

It is a well-known fact that ISPs block streaming requests from third-party apps. It is also said that they cut down the speed of your internet connection upon detecting the streaming requests from such apps. That could be one of the biggest reasons why you experience buffering problems.

Thankfully, there is an easy way to avoid this issue – use a VPN. A VPN service will encrypt your streaming requests and make it completely undetectable by the ISP. It will also provide all-round security to your online activities.

I personally recommend ExpressVPN for all your devices. It uses high-grade encryption technology, also used by the USA Military. It offers high-speed connectivity and is the most streaming-friendly VPN I have known. You can use ExpressVPN on up to 5 devices simultaneously including FireStick, Android TV, Android Mobiles, Mac, Windows, Linux, Routers, and more.

7. Once connected, open the Cinema APK and try playing the title once again!

The buffering issues are also caused by cache or temporary storage in the device. When Cinema HD is buffering, clearing cache can fix the problem immediately.
