Firestick Maintenance
To keep your Firestick running smoothly and avoid buffering issues:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
Click on each app individually.
For any app that has a cache size over 12 KB:
Click Force Stop
Then click Clear Cache
Do this every couple of days, as Firesticks have very limited memory and get clogged up easily.
