To get started what you'll need to have is a couple of applications installed on
your Android device so you'll need a speed test and I
recommend you guys to have the fast speed test installed and this one is by
Netflix or you can have the speed test by Ookla then you'll need to install DNS
speed test and this one is by Cat'n the Box then you'll need to have DataEye
installed and this app is by LotusFlare then you'll need to have 1.1.1.1
and this one is by CloudFlare and the last app is called
DNS changer now all of these apps are available on the Google Play Store so
let's get started so in case you are on a 4G network the first thing you'll have
to do is test it out for yourself is if your 4G network is faster than 3G
network in your area and to do that what you'll need to do is go in your Settings >
SIM Card and Mobile networks and then under that you'll have the Preferred
Network Type option so right now my phone is set to prefer for 3G networks
so I'm going to test it out and see how much latency I get using these speed
test apps that I installed
and now I am connected to data and I'm gonna run the FAST speed test
one thing to note is that I'm not really concerned with how much download speed I
get but it's the additional information that is included and as you
guys can see it's the latency so my latency is 36 m/s unloaded and the
loaded value is 1.1s and I'm just writing these values down and
then I'm gonna change my preferred network to LTE. now that it's connected
to 4G I'm actually gonna run the speed test again using FAST and see how my
latency is
looks like it's taking a little bit more time than what I expected
so there are two main points from this a speed test one is my 4G is actually
slower than my 3G network in download speed and upload speed but also the
latency is a lot higher unloaded and loaded as well so my 3G latency was 36
m/s unloaded while on 4G it's actually 54 m/s and loaded was 1.1s
on 3G while on 4G it's actually 1.2s and there we go
like one way that you can actually reduce ping is just by changing your
network to 3G which is quite surprising
so in this case I will just go into my preferred network type again and just
like 3G because it just works better once that is done we can actually move
on to the next step so the next step would be to run the DNA speed test app
that I mentioned initially and see how DNS performs and I'm gonna run it a
couple of times to be sure
so it looks like quad 9 seems to be coming out at top and OpenDNS as well
CloudFlare is way behind yeah okay so it looks like for DNS QUAD9 - it's the best
service out of all of these for me at least in the couple of tests that I
ran and I'm just gonna note down the values because I'm not sure if it's
mentioned in the other app or not 9.9.9.9 and the S is 149.112.112.112
perfect and now I would open the DNS
change your app it actually lets me choose a DNS provider it looks like it
does not have, it does have Quad Nine and that's perfect so once I selected I just click
on start and the app would actually change my DNS
and that's it
let's try to see with these two steps that I mentioned if our internet became
much more faster with lower latency
and it looks like with the initial test that I had I had unloaded 36 ms and now
it's 41 ms however my loaded went further down to 966 ms compared to the
initial 1.1 s which is fairly good actually people lag out because they
have a very high loaded latency but if we have been able to bring it slightly
further down with these steps that I mentioned there are certain other things
you can do as well to reduce latency and one of them is using the Data Eye app that I
mentioned and what you would have to do is enable the data saving mode and then
you will block out all the apps that you do not need so let's say I don't need
the downloads I'm just gonna keep the Play Store because it's an essential and
let's say in my case kind of see if I have the games so let's say in my case I
want to be playing FortNite and I want it to be optimized for a fortnight
so what DataEye will do is that it will only allow FortNite to access Mobile
Data and that means that no other application will be using the bandwidth
available for my device which is going to make it a little bit more stabilized
the internet connection for you in case that doesn't work out you can try using
the 1.1.1.1 app as well and that will take control from
the DataEye app so you can only have one VPN running at a time and I'll have
to disable DataEye okay and I go back to 1.1.1.1 and I installed the VPN
profile and it's connected and that would be the last step that you can try
to bring your latency down so let's try it out with 1.1.1.1 the results are
dependent very much on your location for some people it will work better for some
people it wouldn't but let's see what happens
so in my case it looks like the loaded latency actually went up and the
value for unloaded latency actually went down Zero ms is quite surprising but
it looks like for me maybe using 1.1.1.1 for enhancing my
gaming experience isn't a good idea but in case you are in countries where
network providers block certain services maybe it will enhance your gaming
experience and yeah I do recommend you guys to try it out and see for yourself
if it works or not thank you for watching this video and please let me
know if there are any other alternatives you guys have tried out to reduce
latency for gaming whether you play FortNite Mobile Legends PubG thank you
