YouTube and Music Players Stop - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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.

Music player apk's

I have tried a couple of music players and they start but always freeze on me.
Only thing I could think of was I froze the drm.apk. I unfroze anything I could think of but still have problems. My phone just froze up anytime I try and use the music app. I can start to play a song but thats it.

that drm apk needs to be unfrozen me thinks
blazing through on my Galaxy Nexus via XDA app
Yeah thats what I thought.
Digital Rights Management of something like that. I unfroze the 3 I thought pertained to that and still had problems.
clear the caches and data on the music player reboot.
I lowered my memory settings and that seemed to help.
I've been freezing DRM related stuff for almost 2 years now without any harm to media playback so i doubt that's the problem. Glad you got it figured out though.

Well now that you say that I will go back and freeze those and see what happens.
Seems like the memory settings could have been the problem. Couldnt multitask because it ran out of memory.

[Q] Google Play Music Randomly Starting

This has happened 3 or 4 times in the past couple days. My Play Music will start playing without me asking it to. If I recall correctly, it's always starting when I use the swipe up to unlock gesture from an off/sleeping screen. There's no shortcuts to the music app that I could be accidentally swiping on or anything like that. I'm running CleanROM and Sense 6 Toolbox. Anyone experiencing anything like this?

Poweramp does something like that as soon as I connect BT. I use Greenify to hibernate the apps so they won't do that.

This is more by design though. IIRC there is a setting in PowerAmp for this activity.
I realized shortly after I posted this that I did a TiBu data restore of Play Music when I flashed the ROM. I would have excluded this app had I noticed it listed in user apps. I cleared its data and will hope that resolved it.

Are you having the exact same symptoms as I described, i.e. music comes on when you unlock with a swipe-up gesture? It sounds like you're able to trigger it more often than I'd been seeing. It only happened once today before I posted. I can't say for sure whether mine's fixed yet since it's random, but you could also try clearing your data on Play Music.

I'm not exactly sure. I'm pretty sure it's only when I swipe up, but like you it happens for me very infrequently. Maybe once or twice a day, tops. I'll try clearing data and see what happens

Music bug since the update of 5.1.1

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)
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
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.

The problems is i use play music because of the cloud feature, let's hope the Edge+ update fixes the problem, otherwise I'm going back to 5.0.2

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?

Audio lag during videos

Hello,
Do you guys experience a small audio lag during videos?
It happens in all the apps I use (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram..)
The videos start, then freeze for 1/2 sec at the beginning and then play but with the audio not sync with video .
Thanks

Not for me, all is perfect smooth.
This behaviour to me is something related in any way to your internet connection/mobile data

I don't think so..
It happens on wifi at home, 4G or wifi at work.
If I reboot, it's works fine but then the problem comes back a few hours/days later.

I know it's a bug and also HTC knows.
Wipe cache every time lag come back.
No other way by now brother
I've found the cause.
It's the USB Audio Player Pro app.
App un installed, rebooted the phone and the problem is now gone.
I have the same problem. Update from Nougat to latest oreo didnt fix problem.
Reboot helps but not for a long time.
Remove video apps and install mxplayer. If you don't use boost+ it's a good app by htc!.
I've had the lag off and on too. Last week I cleared the cache partition and so far it has not returned.
