youtube freezes randomly - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

youtube app freezes randomly while playing videos. it starts playing again after 10 seconds or so.
i 've also noticed that if i pull up the keyboard in another app (while youtube video is frozen), the keypress sound doesn't work.
it seems like the audio component of android craps out at random times which causes the freezing issues.
happens rarely but it's annoying nonetheless. and it only happens in youtube. never had any audio/video issues with mxplayer.
is it just my phone, or is this also happening to other folks with the z5?
running official firmware 7.1.1. I was using NOBA firmware (7.1.1) before, but i have since switched to Canadian firmware(7.1.1). So far so good, but I'm sure this problem will come back soon enough. I've also tried 7.0 Global firmware and youtube crapped out on that too.
No unlocked bootloaders/roots or anything like that. Running pure stock mode.

Full wipe and flash last rom.

Flash player slow performance

I never have had problems with my tablet's flash player performance. Suddenly i noticed that in sites like gametrailers or ign, i have to touch the screen in order to keep the video running. I ve never seen something like that on any other android device. Keep in mind this doesn t happen in youtube. What happened suddenly? I tried uninstalling the latest update of adobe flash player, i even tried a factory reset, nothing happened. Has anyone a clue about what may causing this? When i release the screen the video lags or stops completely but sound keeps running

[Q] Play MOVs with stock video player

I was using a F240K (G Pro) on 4.4.2 (20g) and I can play MOVs (recorded by my cameras) with the stock video player and I can see the MOVs' thumbnails with the stock gallery in my F240K.
However, I can't do the same with my F350S (G Pro 2) on 4.4.2 (10o).
Anyone experienced the same issue?
Yes
Yes I have the same issue. After I took that latest update (10o) a few odd things are happening like that. Along with the most annoying one is the phone shuts off randomly. Not like you even know it though, like I go to use it and it's off. What network do you have yours on?

I don't have the shut-off issue that you have. I am in Hong Kong and using 1010.

What should I do with a rooted 4.4.2 P-905?

So yeah I'm on rooted 4.4.2 on a P-905 and slowly more problems have been showing up with various apps, especially youtube and chrome. I haven't been able to watch 60fps videos on youtube without huge lag and it crashes daily. Chrome lags from time to time and things like switching tabs randomly causes the tab to glitch out and display something like a cropped bit of the screen repeatedly. Doesn't stall the tablet itself though. More recently it's also been shutting down by itself at any battery percentage, sometimes rebooting and sometimes not.
Anyway, what should I do? Deal with the problems and stick to 4.4.2, go to lollipop official (of course I can't ota since software update detects modified software) or try some custom rom like lineage or resurrection?

Random crashes on 5.1.8

In the recent days I've experienced crashes that made the phone reboot. One was just watching YouTube like normal, another while I played NDS emulated games and another today when I tried to turn on the flashlight while the phone was locked. Everything is stock but I hope this issue is fixed in the next version.

Memory management issues?

I've been having strange issues with memory management using the XZP. I use Spotify, YouTube and Shuttle+ for playing media in the background, and several times a day the app just closes without warning. This happens with the screen off most of the time, but occasionally it happens with the screen on as well.
The thing that confuses me the most about this, is that this has happened with various ROMs I've used on the phone, not just one. I've had the issue with stock Oreo, unchanged AOSP and CarbonROM (which is AOSP-based). I believe the only software I've used without the issue cropping up is the original Nougat software that came with the phone when I bought it.
Anyone else had any similar problems? Or is there a fix i just haven't tried yet?
