Music bug since the update of 5.1.1 - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime when I turn off my screen while listening with headphones on or off, my music disrupts after a period of 6 seconds.
Now I have tried a various things to fix it, and strangely enough disabling the lock screen (any type of security ) fixes this issue)
Might any of you know a better alternative to make my life easier? I don't want to leave my phone insecured for the sake of listening to music.
Thank you.

Reflash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.

Have you (TS) tried the solution provided above? I'm experiencing the bug as well. It's really irritating.

I managed to fix the problem by clearing the system cache. Just boot into odin, clear the cache and restart the phone.
(I didn't reflash the stock rom)

Thanks for the reply. When you mean boot into odin, did you mean recovery? I have done that as well, but it seems that it didn't fix the problem for me.
To add another solution to this bug, I downloaded and flashed the stock ROM for my phone. Apparently, it fixed the bug.

Yes that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion. I might as well do the same. Thanks for the heads up !

Heya, sorry to bring this topic back again to life. Apparently, the fix was only temporary. The bug reappeared after a few hours. I might try a clean install just to see if this gets fixed.
Edit: My device model number is SM-G920F

Do you have greenify installed and have the music app set to greenify? Also are you using the built in close app feature? The one found in battery stats. If so do you have the app set to auto kill? This feature kills all selected apps after a certain time of the screen being turned off.

I haven't installed Greenify yet on my S6. I had it on my S4, but it wasn't causing any problems at all. I checked the close app feature, and Music app wasn't placed there. The Music app crashes, it doesn't just close; without any warning message or whatever.
Update: I did a factory reset/data wipe via recovery mode, and used Odin to install a fresh 5.1.1. I tried the Music app, and it doesn't crash. I hope it wouldn't crash anymore.

Did the fresh install fixed the problem completely? I have it as well and it's super annoying, it will be super annoying to have to download my apps again but i will if it fixes the problem.

Unfortunately, it did not. To be exact, it fixed the problem for about a week, but the problem appeared again. Try using Power Amp music player, it's working well for me. I'm tempted to buy the full version after this trail version expires. Spending 1$ would be way better than getting annoyed all the time by the default music player.

Anyone else having trouble with the camera app on lollipop?

My wife and I both have the Nexus 5. I'm still on KitKat while she is on lollipop. She is completely stock and upgraded to lollipop via ota. I tried to take pictures in low light so I set the flash to always on. I noticed sometimes it would not flash, sometimes it would flash, and sometimes the flash would come on and stay on leaving the app in a hung state. Anyone else? Or should I just consider a different app from the Play Store?
Not an issue for me stock 5.0. I flashed factory image didn't wait for OTA. Try clearing cache and data on camera app?

I thought of clearing the cache after I posted this, so I did. Now it seems the flash doesn't work at all even when set to be on all the time. I guess I will just stick to HDR on her phone
I've got problems too, and I looked for it in the web. Seems to be a known bug, when you use the torch then the camera has problems and crashes sometimes too.
Anyway rebooting fixes everything. Apparently here in xda nobody has started investigating this

I'm wondering if using a third party led flashlight app (tiny LED is good) would resolve if it's just a Google issue? I cant we why it's a camera issue, I'm putting my money on the Google flashlight code.

S7 causing multiple issues (Slowdown, stuttering, auto closing)

Hey,
Yesterday started noticing issues for my S7, which I've had since launch. Have not rooted it or flashed anything to it, but noticed issues yesterday and still occurring now after trying a few things.
Issues include:
-Opening a folder/pressing multi task button, it will probably auto close in a few seconds.
-Kingdom hearts game is now stutters every few secs, music and video.
-Keyboard vibration isn't quite keeping up to button presses.
-General slowness, drag an icon to uninstall it, doesn't direct to the home screen. Even if it did and you dragged it to uninstall, it didn't on one occasion.
-Playing a video on the Youtube app will eventually cause the video to stop/pause every few seconds
I tried clearing system cache, turning off/on, restarting, using smart manager to clear app caches. None of these have seemingly fixed the issues.
Any suggestions would be welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I think it is related to latest oculus update. try deleting this app if you have it.
Try to factory reset your phone, but if that doesn't help then I would suggest taking it to the repair shop.

Very good point, I did notice that update yesterday, I'll have to try it later when I get the chance, surprised it can mess with the phone despite not being in VR mode though... Thanks for the suggestion!
As for factory reseting, I'd like that to be the last thing to try, as 1. It's gonna be a pain to restore everything back, and 2. I have my bus ticket on my phone using an app, and I think I may lose it if I do this...

It's because the app is stuck in an install loop, the update never completes
Oculus Rooms is the culprit, kill it until they fix it
No factory reset necessary. Install Package Disabler Pro, disable the following:
- All bloatware (via menu option)
- Facebook App Manager
- Facebook App Installer
- Oculus Home
Reboot, wait 5 minutes, and see how Kingdom Hearts is doing at that point.
Hey guys, recently my phone is acting really weird... Whenever i install a new app from play store, when i try to open it, the app crashes.
If i uninstall it and reinstall from the play store it works just fine.
Any ideas about what could be the issue?

Try clearing play store cache, if it still does it, boot to recovery and clear caches from there
Great

Just to update, I uninstalled all Oculus related stuff and it's all fine again. Thanks a lot!
Only problem will be when I want to use Gear VR again, I presume it will all be installed again, though at this point I don't use it regularly really, so I can leave it for a while.

Just a quick update
When i did that it worked that day. Now i installed a new app and the craching app issue is back :/
I'll try to clear android cache from TWRP and see what happens
So it worked for one app (the one i tried after clearing the cache). Opened the app and no crashing. Later this week i installed a new app and same problem, so i booted to recovery and cleared cache from there. Installed a new app (google weather i think) and the app crashed... Any other thoughts on that subject?

YouTube and Music Players Stop

This is so annoying and tried everything to resolve it without any luck. While playing YouTube and music players they pause/freeze after a few seconds. Rooted phone and never had this problem over years of using Sammy phones, tried clearing cache, uninstalling and re-installing apps, stopping power save mode etc without any success. Anyone else had this problem and has a fix, thanks.
What ROM are you using?

Go to Phone Settings, Device Maintenance, Battery, then press Unmonitored Apps and add whatever video, or music App you use and it will stop pausing.

General Please Disregard - PEBCAK

Edit: I happened to be looking through Developer Options and realized that "Don't Keep Activities" had been enabled. I never thought to check that because I don't enable it. I don't know how it got enabled, but that fixed the issue. Lesson learned: Check it anyway.
----------
NieR cannot be resumed. It restarts even by clicking the recent apps button of the navigation bar. This cannot be reproduced on other devices.
Settings verified:
app is still enabled in Auto-start Manager
not optimized in Battery optimization
Battery Saver in Developer options is disabled
Background app management is disabled
Detect & stop under Detect battery-draining apps is disabled
Has anyone else noticed this with an app and was able to fix it?
I had this with a music player app. Have you tried adding the app in Optiflex?

I tried that just after posting. No change.
I am on WW .56 firmware . I dont have the issue as seen in your video with that game (even at 14% battery in ultra durable after 4 mins approx).It resumes where i left. Maybe a firmware related issue?. Try locking the task from recents and give a try.

That was the first thing I tried before toggling anything. It seems it isn't an app issue then, so I should probably report it to Asus.
I wonder if turning on persistent lighting could exploit their wakelock.
I updated to the newest firmware WW .86. no issues faced.
I didnt turn off any optimization or change anything. Everything is in its default state. I was not on X mode.
I have no idea. I don't see why it is just that game, but maybe I can find others to determine a common factor.
Yes try another game or two to check the same. I have no idea regarding this issue
Maybe try clearing data for that game and start fresh with permissions or uninstall and reinstall to see if the same issue is persistent.

Its not a system crash. I had downloaded the full data package to avoid downloading on mobile data, but also wiped, tried without downloading it, then downloaded it again. I'll have to double check the logs and make sure it isn't a silent crash, but that seems unlikely.
It's not a big enough issue to justify a full wipe, but that would probably fix it.
Having done everything but still persistent mean it is for sure due to system management or something else related to system and app or the game specifically. Because online server sync crash is highly unlikely for this game since before you continue its getting crashed/restarted. Give a try with two other random games if the issue is reproducible
It's looking like Game Genie may be crashing out.
Ironically, I did a raw firmware install and the issue persisted. I can only assume this means it is something in my configuration. I guess for now I will have to increase the screen timeout.
... and then I stumbled onto where "Don't Keep Activities" had somehow gotten checked. Yup...

Question OneUI crashes

Does anyone else have crashes for oneUI ? Fort me it happens like twice a week on my exynos model.
I'm so disappointed with this phone to be honest. It's stutters now and than and to many crashes in various apps.
I'm assuming must of it is due to Samsung chip.
I have also whacked for nightly restart even thought it's stupid i think.
Did this happen from day one?
If not it's likely an app, update or settings issue.
Still that's pretty unstable... it could be a hardware issue.

try factory reset with disabling of trashy preinstalled apps (disabled 144 on mine ), then install your apps (not restore)
adb app control
It wasn't happened on mine ( SD variant). Try to factory reset the phone, download and re-install all of your app instead of restore them (even with the phone setting). It may help to solve issues
I appreciate the tips but seriously guys, factory reset and redownload of this many apps i have is like a weeks work! I only download the stuff i use (and 99% payed apps as i hate ads). Not to mention i might loose some data thanks to how Android save data. This is not 2010. I hope modern phones are more stable then that.
If this was iPhone then i could simply restore easy but with Android its not as simple.
If there is no other way i wait for some more samsung firmware updates.
It has not happened this week so lets see.
I notice some specific apps are specially bad like LinkedIn hangs allot. Tapatalk wont work even with this forum and gives error. Maybe some of these apps make the launcher go nuts....
Try using a different launcher, to see if that stops the crashing

No thank you. I like Nova but i really like to use stock now so i get all my folders and settings saved properly
But i might go to Nova again. It has so much great tweaking...
