I have a few BBC iPlayer Videos that I have downloaded and stored on the Storage Card (Might while away a couple of hours on frequent long flights .
Trouble is, when I play them using Pictures & Videos app, the screen times out after a short period of time (around 1 Min) and jumps back to the Homescreen. Is it getting this setting from the 'Settings/Sound & Display/Display/Backlight' settings?
If so, I don't understand why it's dropping out to the Homescreen instead of turning the screen off altogether.
Anbody else had this and know how to resolve it please?
Thanks.

Tried to watch transformers 2 earlier today. About every 5 mins the video would pause and the top and bottom bars that show menu, and connection and battery.
It didn't break anything. I could resume the video but i got annoyed with the constant breaking of immersion.
Anyone got a fix?

How many things are running in the background while you are trying to watch the video? If you open anything even if you click okay or back it is most likely still there in the background until you end the task. Get too many running and the whole phone will bog down.
Not sure if this is a problem with the phone or some settings i'm missing. I bought the phone 2 weeks ago so i think there is still time to get a replacement but i was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before.
The stock weather widget that is on the home screen by default does not refresh the weather sometimes. If you manually click on the refresh sign from the home screen, it shows it trying to refresh but nothing changes. Same happens if you open the app and refresh from there.
I have data turned on, sync, gps, etc. Nothing i can see that would be stopping it.
The problem is fixed if i reboot the phone. If the phone has been up for about 6-7 hours it still does the refresh just fine. If its been up for 30+ hours the problem above starts happening.
I have another S4 as well, have not been able to catch if the same thing happens with it, but a side by side comparison of "status" and all the apps running is identical and where my phone fails to update the weather (up time over 30 hours) this other one works just fine (up time 5 hours).
The only difference between the 2 is that my phone is rooted.
Happened with my s2. Not my s4
I think i was able to narrow it down and i'm starting to think there is nothing wrong here.
Clearing cache/data on the app also brings it back so no need to re-start. But the failed refresh seems to happen when i'm not able to get a GPS signal. (would be nice if it actually dont you this with an error pop up or something) Still need to try it a few more times but im 95% certain its timing out if it cant lock on GPS. It only seems to happen inside.
The other phone was working even without GPS turned on, which i thought was odd.I later found that it was not displaying current city, but instead was just configured to display the city i happened to be in.
Hi. I foolishly updated to NK1 a month or so ago assuming there was a root. Since the update, I've been having some really annoying basic functionality problems with my Note 3 (outside of it feeling sluggish overall). I've gotten around keyboard freezes, input lag and general f-ups in the Messenger app by switching to Textra. The now nonexistent haptic feedback was "fixed" by increasing the vibration length for each key on the keyboard. For some apps, I've sideloaded an old version to get them to behave like they did before the update. However, there are a few other issues that I'm hoping someone may have some ideas how to fix.
1) YouTube will constantly error out when trying to load a video and my subscriptions list. The white circle will just spin and spin until it finally gives me a "video cannot load" error. If a video won't load, it won't load no matter how many times I click on it to refresh it. I'll have to either close the app and reopen it, or for the really difficult times, restart my phone. Also, if I shrink the app rather than close it when I'm done, no videos will play when I reopen the app unless I close it or restart my phone.
2) The stock camera clears its settings whenever it feels like it. Auto flash, face detection and image stabilization will randomly turn from "on" and "auto" to "off."
3) All of the web browsers (Opera, Chrome, default browser) and Google Maps just randomly hang for about 2 minutes as they try to load data from Wi-Fi and 4G signals. It's similar to what happens with YouTube but they eventually fix themselves after these long hiccups.
4) Often when the backlight turns off before the phone is going to sleep and I touch the screen to keep it awake, the backlight gets stuck in its turned off state, making it hard to see the screen. The only way to get around this is to put the phone to sleep and then wake it up. It does this at least a few times a day.
5) Pulling down the notification bar will sometimes randomly cause my phone screen to start flashing between the notification bar and the lock screen. I have to do a hard reset when this happens.
Thanks in advance for the help! I'm sorry this post is so long. I hate this update and am seriously considering going to HTC.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I have not. I was trying to avoid that if possible and use a last resort.

It's probably your best option. But first try clearing data in the offending apps. Or making sure the apps are updated, or even unibnstalling and reinstalling the apps.
Do anyone experience any of the problem as i am? I'm using s7 edge exynos model.
I do. Been having the exact same problems for the past 2 weeks and can't find solutions. One site suggested turning the power saving mode off.. but that's already off. Now I can't enjoy watching mp4 videos online & YouTube, it stops suddenly & I'll have to reload the page. It really frustrates me that Samsung did not offer a fix for this bug.
I found the fix. Clear data and cache on YouTube application. Remove Google account from phone and restart. Add back your Google account. Try it. Mine is fixed.
Hello, I've had this issue for a couple of months now. I've got a Redmi Note 7 updated to its last supported MIUI version. The issue that I'm having is, certain apps take a long time to respond. For example, when I open the Gallery app, the media shows up but when I try to open a photo it freezes or goes to a black screen, I then have to wait up to a minute until I get the popup at the bottom asking me if I want to close it or wait, so I choose wait and after another minute or so, the photo loads up.
The MIUI file manager does this too and unfortunately it's not just limited to the MIUI apps but others as well. Viber, Revolut, YouTube, Yodel, Wise, and a bunch of other apps that I download do this. Sometimes the issue gets fixed only temporarily when I uninstall the Webview app's updates or clear its data but it's only good for a couple of minutes. Sometimes the whole screen would go black and it would just freeze, I then have to hold the power button for a couple of seconds and it does this quick reboot where the MIUI logo appears with the sound for about 10 seconds or so and I'm on the lockscreen. I figured Google messed something up with an update for that app but it's been months and it's been through a couple of updates where I hoped this issue would be fixed but no.
I've tried a factory reset + flashing the firmware but they still keep on freezing. Could it be some memory issue? I really don't wanna switch to a new phone as I'm still satisfied with the battery life on this one and its specs overall still get the job done for calls, regular internet browsing, social media and watching videos. Has anybody else experienced this?
