    Hi, I live in PE and I use the most terrible internet connection that we have available; Rain xD I had so many issues even getting the game to open and I had/have the now popular "loading data 7/40" bug cycle, however once I switched to using mobile data to play using my phone's portable hotspot I had far fewer issues. I haven't tried the android version and have only ever tried on PC.

    If this does work for you please let me know, otherwise try this

    Start -> Settings - Network and Internet Settings -> Proxy -> Automatically detect settings: Off
