My kid was playing crysis 2 and this pops up wow
You do know that is only reporting the soundtrack to the game right? The Crysis 2 OST is available on Play Music so of course it would show up.
It really feels like "Big Brother is Watching You" sometimes....

I agree 100%... I turned this feature off, even though I am pretty sure the mic is still always on.
You guys know the "now playing" feature uses a local database on your phone right? No data is sent to Google.
Wouldn't know mine doesn't work tried all ways of setting it up

I'm really missing my white noise app from my android phone. There is 2 in the windows market but they are $3 and from what I read they turn off when you lock the screen. I'm looking for one that will continue to play while the screen is off and that can be timed to turn off at a certain period of time.
Whitenoise now works with the screen off I had the same issue as you and dealt with it by setting the screen too not shut off for 30 minutes when plugged in(kept the phone screen down when falling asleep). A new version came out recently and it now works just like on my old android device.

I just googled it... looks impressive
Featured in Health Magazine, The Washington Post, New York Times, PC Magazine, and raved about by thousands of satisfied customers. Find out why the world is sleeping better with White Noise.
Would you like to sleep better? Or maybe just need help relaxing? Are you in a hotel and miss the familiar sound of your fan or air conditioner? Flying on a plane and just want to nap?
White Noise provides ambient sounds of the environment to help you relax or sleep. Includes high quality looping noises such as waves crashing on a beach, crickets chirping at night, and the soothing sound of rain fall.
Relax. Sleep better. Feel better.
I don't know what it is. I installed some games and rebooted. When I play the games the sound is delayed, but the game runs perfectly fine. It also happens with games on gameboid and snesoid. Also, my biggest issue is that when I'm talking to someone on the phone their voice sounds kind of muffled and it's pretty hard to hear and understand what they're saying. I have the volume on max so it can't go any louder. Anyone else experiencing this?? Should I exchange my phone or do a factory reset?? Thanks in advance!
I have a black wallpaper, I'm using launcher pro, I don't have any running widgets so I don't think I'm using that much memory for it to affect the sound.

It's pretty annoying...makes me wonder if our phones have a problem! Is your voice quality really good?? Before this I had the iphone 4, the games didn't lag and I had about 24 games and the voice quality seemed much louder and clearer, but I really don't want to go back to an iphone...
Seem to be having HDMI out problems, I bought this phone so I can watch my movies out to a big screen, I tried it on two different TVs. At first it works, and then when I try stuff or like try to play angry birds it start flickering going back and forth from snow back to the phone, sometimes just stops working all together. Also it looks like crap, like trying to use the web or what not, especially text.
when I try to watch 720p movies i downloaded in like mkv, they play so smooth and look great on the phone, but out to the TV, most times the phone will slow completely down, and get really choppy and laggy, if you try to get the menu back or play buttons. if it does play it doesn't look like a 720p should, comparing on playing the file on my computer, it looks pixelated and doesn't play that smooth, kinda gives you motion sickness sometimes.
Does anyone else have these problems, is this a defective phone that I should return? can anyone confirm.
also just curious, I seen other people say they played the trailers that came on their phones and it looked great. Mine didn't come with any trailers on it.
Well mine came with trailers, though I didn't try looking at them on the big screen...I did, however, look at several high resolution pictures and a 1080p video that looked great on the PHONE'S display and it's like the output is the same resolution as the phone's display (800x480) and it's just stretched to fit the screen...makes it look I'm watching an old DVD...
Because angry bird are only made for phones not a 720p resolution, lol angry bird on TV haha buy Xbox or ps2 much better ;p

The phone can not handle playback on a big screen unfortunately. The chopiness is purely due to processor lag. The hdmi out is more for presentations, not super useful
Angry Birds plays fine on my TV. As a matter of fact my nephew was playing it last night. It looks amazing on my TV. Try using an expensive HDMI cable, the cheap ones will not work. I had 2 HDMI cables and I first used the one that was like $20 and had this issue so i switched that out for the $50 cable and bam no problems. It really depends on the cable. Because of the info that's being sent thru the cable. Along with movies, I have a music video on my phone in .mp4 format in 1080p that plays perfectly, me and my friend were watching it like 20 times the other day.
Why can't i watch media hub on my tv it says it can't play on my tv when the app is running

Because the movies are copy protected. It a feature of the Media Hub. Samsung probably doesnt want people to pirate the movies/tv shows they sell on there.

Try a different player like rockplayer or I think vlc is out now too... Stock video player sucks. Also try removing stage-fright enable player = false.... See if that helps, its a line in the build.prop.
I have a strange problem. When I'm on my way to work I usually play some YouTube videos in my car. But after maybe 5 mins of driving with YouTube playing, the screen freezes. It won't recognize any touch or when I press the power button. I have to restart the phone by taking out the battery for it to work again. But the strange thing is that the video/sound still plays in the background after the phone freezes.
This only happens when I'm driving.
I am not watching the phone while I'm driving. Just to be clear.
Any idea?
I'm fairly sure there are laws against using your phone whilst driving.
And if not laws, then common sense.
Even the phone knows it's not a good idea so it freezes to save your butt ยจ
Definition of smart-phone.
You would get pulled for driving without due care /dangerous driving.... Not a good idea to have anything but music/calls/sat navigation on your phone in the car, even then I'd still ensure you have a car mount so you literally don't need to hold or look like you're interacting with the device.
Sounds like an odd bugg though.
Back to above please think twice about watching stuff whilst driving, how would you feel if you caused an accident and killed an innocent person all because you had your eyes on YouTube not the road.

Drive safe.

Okey maybe I should clarify. I'm NOT watching it while driving. I have it hooked up to my car stereo. I have music playlists that I'm listening to. I'm not interacting with it other than pushing play when I start driving. But it is really annoying having to restart the phone every time I'm done driving.
I'd bet it's on the YouTube side and possibly caused by them monitoring your incoming signal and the hand-offs between cell towers as you're driving is confusing their back-end systems. Try VEVO and see if it does the same thing.

I'm just going to state the obvious here and ask why the bloody hell you don't just use music files on the phone for that...
It's the reception, the towers briefly disconnect you from the network as you switch from one to the other.

Everyone please give this poster the benefit of the doubt that he isn't using his phone illegally. I feel it's extremely unfair to judge a fellow XDAer and begin scolding them based on an assumption. Secondly, there are many things you can do on youtube including listening to TED talks, lectures or playlists as he states he does. All of these are things which I do.myself. Lastly I don't think any of the opinions offered up are correct, at least in my experience. I've watched many a youtube video on a greyhound bus, or while other people are driving and I am androiding it up.

I'm don't care if you think listening to music on YouTube is wrong and stupid. That is not the issue. The problem is that the phone freezes. What if I'm sitting in the back seat while a friend is driving? Or maybe im on a bus.am i aloud to use youtube then?
Can we drop it please.
To clarify I was simply offering advice, if any law enforcement saw a movie if it was simply a music video or lecture.. They'd push and use reasonable suspicion to get you pulled at least.
Get yourself YouTube screen off mod, or Spotify .
Also whenever I've used the train or the kids have the phone in the back watching any TV/stream service it works fine so it's definitely not an issue with the Op driving between towers, can you confirm it doesn't do it whilst stationary? What's your normal network conditions? Good?

Try using the browser version of YouTube... If that works you can eliminate your data failing you and it's the apps fault.

Yes, the connection is good. 4g coverage all the way. And it hasn't happened at all when I'm stationary. That's why I find it strange

He wasn't asking about laws..
Plus, the laws differ from state to state.

If you are using 4g LTE, then that system uses soft handoffs between cells, so it shouldn't really be a cellular issue.
Have you checked if you have any third party app that tries to force a screensaver, or any form of closing/powering off the screen?
Is it plugged into cigarette adapter for power and what volt and amp is it pushing to the phone? What carrier? Does it make a difference if you increase screen time out to 30 minutes? Perhaps it's exceeding thermal threshold with temperature in car under sun and additional heat from charging. Or, OS or software glitching out switching between 4G and 3G or tower hand-off which is normally seamless. I'm on Verizon and forced switch between 4G and WIFI several times and YouTube kept streaming/playing without issue.
Hi everyone.
Someone else experiencing problems while gaming?
I'm playing Dragon Ball Legends and sometimes the game becomes very very slow.
Tried deleting the game from Game Space, and it seemed worked at first but happened again...
I've set 120hz and 60hz manually also, and the problem persists.
Sometimes going to the home screen and back to the game works but I play online, it's annoying.
I think it's inadmissible for an expensive phone like this to have such issues. It's my first Chinese smartphone, and I'm not so happy with it
i find the GPU is set a little to passive. (slow to ramp up). Works well for battery though not so much for gaming. You can use "Game Space" an pre-installed app to make it run full power all the time. Games run great. Though phone gets hot and battery suffers.
IV been trying to use my PS4 controller via Bluetooth to play COD but it's just really bad lag and after touch movement, it's like after you stop moving or ADS it's like it keeps moving for about half a second very unplayable anyone else come across this?

Dragon Ball Legends works great on mine in any settings. I don't play online matches though. Maybe you just have poor connection?

Hi.
I fixed it turning off the battery saver option at the game settings!
That sh*t was bugging the game performance somehow, instead of helping me lol

Of course battery saving would decrease game performance. I'm glad you found the solution.

Well, I had a S7 edge and the Xperia xz2 before, always playing with the battery saver ON and had no big issues...
Yes the fps was far away from now, but I could play without any problems.
With the Oppo it's impossible to play.
My gaming experience has been less optimal lately, Fortnite is laggy even if I lower the graphics. Maybe the game is not well optimised? I'm on C57. Have you noticed anything like that?
