I have a Huawei P20 Pro and just recently I've started getting some apps (not all the time) not receiving or sending all data, they basically seem to receive or send some data then get stuck

load up something like Hotukdeals and sometimes I get new threads/deals but no images, turn wifi off and they load instantly

just had it with Discord, sent 10 images they all got stuck at about 75%, turned wifi off and they instantly sent

I've had it with Youtube too

in general web browsing ok

I've done a speed test and no problems there (I'm on 500mb BT)

interestingly I'm sure this started when I upgraded my connection from 50 to 500 broadband, but I can't see how that would have any affect (same router)

no issues on any other devices, tablet, computer, Apple TV, PS5 etc

on googling this does seem to come up as an issue for some people - but I've not found any real fixes. I've seen one suggestion of turning off IPv6 on router, but not sure why only recently an issue, the router hasn't changed - unless upgrading from 50-500 has turned on IPv6 or something on the connection with BT.

any ideas please ?

<edit> just done a speed test on my phone and its managing 475 down 70mb up so speed/data throughput not an issue
