I have the G955U version of the S8 Plus. Most apps that I use will occasionally refresh while I am using them clearing any progress that I may have had. These refreshes will normally happen in pairs as well, happening about 30sec to a minute apart. The most noticeable refreshes happen on Snapchat, Youtube, and Twitch apps.
So for example, in Snapchat if I take a picture and put a caption, etc. it will refresh and I will be taken back to the picture taking screen forcing me to retake a picture. On youtube, I will be watching a video and the video will reload and start where it left off and then it will do it again about 30 seconds later however this time, the video will be black and I can still hear audio. I normally fix this issue by going to the next video and then going back to the original video. Twitch will just reload the stream and chat. It seems as though this will happen on most apps, including games and messenger apps. But I haven't had it happen on browsers yet.
Any ideas?

In this thread they suggest it's a network issue. So far, with airplane mode on, i've had no screen refresh issues.

Hello,
Has anyone noticed that when watching a video on youtube, and you pause / wait for it to load or whatever and the display goes to sleep. When hitting the power button (literally seconds later) to wake the device, the youtube app is still there, but it has not only NOT finished downloading whatever video I was watching, but the video is GONE and I have to d/l the damned thing all over again.
Maybe this is just my device, but it has done this will all ROMs I have tried. Perhaps there is a software fix for this? I have a euro touch pro in Canada, no 3G and a youtube vid can take 5-6 minutes sometimes, plus a lot of data. I hate to watch 9 minutes of a video, have to pause, turn it back on to find I have to start again!
Thanks in advance!
i believe that is just the app itself mines does this to the youtube app needs work
I have this issue two times in 2 months, when playing a yt movie in chrome browser at full screen first there was no picture only sound, then everything freeze and phone restart. Somebody notice this issue ?
The no picture issue is very often when playing a full screen Yt movie in chrome, someone can test it pls ?
Since today, whenever I watch a video on twitch/YouTube (Pop Up enabled on both), the app sometimes just minimizes and goes back to where I was before. Leaving me with the pop up player of twitch/youtube.
It happens every 3-4 minutes and I do't have any idea why it's happening.
Any help here? Thanks!
Hi
I have been spending all day trying to troubleshoot this problem. On my BLu G9 (rooted), I have battled the occasional glitch where videos would stop playing. A simple restart would take care of it. Now, suddenly it has become a green screen. I hear the audio. But no video.
In VLC, I disabled Hardware Acceleration and videos work fine. I tried that in Chrome, and Youtube works. But nothing else. Twitter videos and GIFs show green. I also use Youtube Vanced and its green as well. So this is a global problem. And I see no way to disable HA across the entire phone like you can on a PC.
Anyone have any ideas?

Can anyone help me with screen stutter on Black Shark 4? Most of the time when I watch a video the screen stutters and lag a lot, and the audio ends up unsynchronized because of it
It mainly happens with vertical videos such as tik tok and whatever someone sends me on WhatsApp, but occasionally it happens with horizontal videos as well. I've read it could be the screen refresh rate, something about 144hz not syncing with the source fps, but I tried using 60hz to no avail. It's getting really frustrating to watch whatever it is. Also, that doesn't happen with games and rarely on YouTube (if Fullscreen, on vertical videos it's more often and in shorts it's almost 100% of the time)
I really couldn't find any answer about that anywhere, so... Does anyone know what's going on or at least have the same problem? The phone is maybe 2 or 3 months now, and apart from this I haven't had any problem with it
I have the same issue
