Hi xda!
I have a weird question that i haven't been able to find the answer for so I thought I'd ask here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, SM-925V, android version 5.0.2, rooted with stock rom. I have had this phone for at least 2 months and this problem just started happening:
My phone randomly pauses video and audio for no reason. For example I was watching Netflix last night in bed with nothing touching the screen. The phone's just sitting there and pauses playback. This is not a streaming issue,
This is what I've figured out so far:
1) I didn't touch the edges to accidently pause playback. The phone was just sitting there with nothing around its edges. Also, since it pauses audio playback while the screen is off, it can't be that
2) It's not a streaming issue, since it also has the same effect with locally stored videos and audio, like MX Player, and it also pauses audio playback on Mort Audio Book Player and Play Music when the screen is off.
3) The only apps I recently installed were Reddit and Imgur apps, can't see how they'd cause a conflict. I have also not updated my phone after which it would have started causing these errors.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You could perform a bug report and a log cat. Both of those could give you clues as to what could be going on. Just make sure you don't share the bug report.

Hi. I have some serious issue with my vibrant which is just 3~4 months old
Recently, my vibrant had problem playing video files. When I play a certain
video, it stops playing within 1 minute, pause, and I have to manually press "play"
again in order to start a video again. The problem is, same thing happens
after I press the play button, within 1 minute, video stops, pause, and I have to
do the same thing over and over. This happens when I play a video with stock
video player. Let's say If I play a movie with "soul movie," then the different problem
persists, where this time the video turns into black screen and then continue on
playing for about another less than a minute again. Although I do not have to press the play
button in the "soul movie", the video doesn't last 1 min before it turns into black
screen and resume again.
I haven't had this problem at all until recent days, I tried everything I could,
rebooting, re-inserting micro sd. It can't be codec problem cuz I used to play
this video flawlessly before. Now, I hope I don't have to "factory reset" the
phone. I'm very reluctant to do it. (Also, I don't know how to...)
Can anyone please help me with these issues. I'll really appreciate it
Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
try an alternate video player like doubletwist and see if the problem still persists.I know I don't use the stock music our video players for anything, they're kinda bad.

thanks for reply. I tried doubletwist and same thing happens as when i play movie with soul movie.
So, it's like
STOCK MOVIE PLAYER-----> PLAY, STOP PLAYING, AND NEED TO RESUME MANUALLY
SOUL MOVIE, DOUBLE TWIST-----> PLAY, BLACK SCREEN, AND AUTO PLAY AGAIN
THIS ALL OCCURS WITHIN 1 MIN OF PLAYING ANY MOVIE
Greetings from Portugal.
Before I start, yes, I have tried searching for it. Found a couple of old threads that didn't help much...
My question is: Is there a way to watch any video format without it stopping every few minutes?
If I use the stock player everything is fine, but it cannot support several video formats like avi, rmvb... etc. I use the MX player, but on some types of video, it stopps every few minutes. It's sooooo annoying!
From what i've seen in some threads, it happens with other video apps too. AND, when i am watching something directly from the internet, like fastpasstv, the video stops loading also every few minutes. I have to restart the loading from the middle... not hard, but also annoying. (using stock browser, and this doesn't happen on youtube for example)
Is the issue related? Since it seems to be happening to both online and offline video viewing...
I am stock, non-rooted, and non-unlocked... Wifi is fine.
I have the same problem. But it is a MX Player specific one for me. BS Player works fine (but has other issues).
Edit: I tried with the 'Performance Mode' and it works so far. Maybe a workaround?
I never have this problem when streaming one of many video formats from my PC to my Prime using ES File Manager to find the video files on my PC and MX to play them as streams.
Is this something that you tend to experience with streams/videos being played directly on the Prime?
For me it is locally played .ts videos.
Meanwhile I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/mx-videoplayer/browse_thread/thread/533d7296c0305183
It might be a Prime/ICS problem. There seems to be no solution up to now.
I get this same issue trying to stream video from sites other than youtube. It is when I'm streaming that I get most of the lock ups with the prime, reboots, etc. Maybe it is something to do with the allotted cache size of the browser being used up and cleared to make room for more buffered video?
It is rather annoying. You basically have to let it load and watch the whole thing as it goes. If I hit pause or so anything else then it risks stopping the stream where ever its at in the buffering. It's nice to have it start loading up, hitting pause, and walking away for a few minutes to let it buffer up. But then when I come back it would have just stopped about a 1/3 into it or 1/2 way. It would require hitting the reload button at the top or having to close the browser, kill it in the task manager, and then reopen it.
I don't have this issue with Netflix though. They did something right in their app.
I used to have this issue with mx player. It really sucked having to restart a movie every 5-10 minutes.
You want to use Dice Player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. All in Hardware rendering so the screen goes blank when plugged into HDMI.
Haven't had any issues since. I'm using the paid version, I assume they are both alright though.
I have read about audio/video out of sync, but this issue that I am having since I have bought the device is audio cut-off in recorded videos for a couple of seconds. The video starts playing but audio track seems to be missing for a couple of seconds and then plays back. I have tried playing recorded videos on laptop, uploading to YouTube but issue remained. Though this is cut-off, YouTube reports video may be having audio/video sync issues.

Hello everyone, i've had a s9+ for 5 months now maybe more. And just recently about two weeks ago i've started having this strange problem where videos in apps stutter because of sound. Example, when i open up Instagram and go onto stories, and play a story which is a video you see the video hiccup/stutter for like a millisecond or a second like it stucks and unstucks in that instant and it doesn't happen for the rest of the video, and it's very annoying. Same thing happends in all apps that play videos. Also scrolling is stuttery while sound is coming from the apps. Turned off sound to check if the problem is still there, and it's gone, the second i turn on sound on the video again and the hiccup/stutter is there.
I've done Factory ressets x2, Deleted cache partition, played with sound settings nothing works.
P.S The stutter only happens in the beggining of the videos, and when sound is turned on and off.
Hi, would really appreciate if anyone could help me.
My phone today is suddenly showing major problems after it had been working perfectly the night before - any video played from any source, the chrome browser, youtube app, file manager, shows extreme stuttering playback, with zero audio. It can no longer play audio files from music or podcasts either.
Playing games seems to work fine, as does the audio there. The phone otherwise seems fluid, I haven't changed or messed around with any setttings, the night before everything seemed perfect.
The phone is a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite with stock android 9, and rooted. Here is the youtube app playing video: https://imgur.com/3CnPHxc
Logcat if it helps? https://filebin.net/4rxfdq96n0xlzc0y
No clue what's suddenly happened, any insight welcomed!
EDIT: Solved - for anyone randomly experiencing the same issue, this Magisk APTX module was the offender, removed it and problem disappeared.
