I have searched and can't come up with any other threads that describe my issue. Any time I play video it freezes for a fraction of a second about every 15 or 20 seconds. The audio isn't interrupted, it's just these tiny video freezes. This happens with Netflix, my downloaded Transformers movie and DroidTV. Basically any video, whether streaming or downloaded.
I did a factory reset and even exchanged my N7 for a new one but I'm still getting these tiny freezes. Anyone else experience this? I thought maybe it was the DroidTV app messing it up but I uninstalled it and my Transformers movie still freezes. Not sure what else to try. Thanks.

Since the 3.2 update I have been seeing an issue with flash videos in the browser. The video starts playing but then after about 2 mins it freezes even if the video is fully loaded. It has happened on several sites with embedded youtube clips and also on the BBC news site.
Anybody else seen this?
nop.. no prob for me
I have narrowed it down to an issue with the Wi-fi. I have opened this bug on Google code:

Please star it if you notice the same issue.
I thought it was my router but it seems to be fine now and the DHCP error is still being logged.
Hi,
I face the same issue, the video stops after a few seconds but the the data is still streaming in, the audio still continues but the screen freezes. Trying to restart the video does not work when you press stop and resume.
Shifting the play bar to another time starts the video but it stops again after that.
Any idea how to over come this problem? Strange thing is that it is random, meaning some videos from the same web site are okay while others are not okay.

Im on 3.2 and I cant play flash video above 480p on any site. Its just super choppy.
Got a strange issue came up last couple of days. Nothing has changed on the tablet but today using Moboplayer or Rockplayer with different videos playback would stop after about a minute. In Moboplayer the video would stop and I would be returned to the file explorer. In rockplayer the video would pause.
I hav a workaround for now by using MX Video Player. After a minute or so the playbar appears then disappears but the video continues to play.
Something is running every minute or so and I can't figure it out. Tried several reboots. Only other thing that's changed recently is that I have begun using 2 factor auth on my google account. In case this was causing an issue with video playback for some odd reason i temporarily removed my google account and tried but still got the issue.
Any ideas out there?
Did a system reset and it fixed the issue.
Anybody else experiencing YouTube hanging (video stops, audio continues) after around 30 seconds? I've got a brand new S5, so it's not being bogged down by cache or too many apps, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
If I play a video in the YouTube app, the video ALWAYS hangs/freezes around the 30 second mark. I can get it going again if I move the timeline position cursor, but after another 30 seconds, it freezes again.
This happens regardless of network source (data/wifi) and regardless of signal strength (it happens even when I'm right next to my router).
Most everything else I'm loving about the phone, but if this is simply "how it is" with YouTube video, the phone is being returned (which I'd rather not do).
Thanks for any thoughts.
Same here!

Same thing is happening here. Video freezes audio continues. I thought it was originally a coverage/data connection quality issue, but it happens all the time. Only happens with youtube app.

Uninstall updates to YouTube app
This seems to be a problem going around, after the last updates to the YouTube app. Uninstalling the updates and returning to the factory default is reported to be the fix. I'm trying this myself, but haven't given it long enough to find out if the problem will come back.
(I have the attention span of a gnat, I swear, so I thought it would be wise to post this info now, before I forget, rather than waiting.)
I have the same problem on my note 3
Same here
Same here on my GS5 G900F... :crying:
So I was watching a video on YouTube today (an s7 edge teardown video ironically) when all the sudden the picture froze and the phone started making a loud buzzing noise and was unresponsive to touch. I held the power down and the phone reset. Upon rebooting the phone was majorly lagging and struggled to catch up with any input commands. It finally smoothed itself out and seems fully recovered from the freeze up/crash now but my question is has anyone else experienced or heared of this on this device or any ideas as to what may have caused it?
Just happened to me watching a video on Facebook anyone have any answers yet s7 edge 32gb gold
I noticed something whaky when watching YouTube videos but I had read it had to do with the 1440p resolution... So I changed it to 1080p and it's been fine since... Maybe the app needs an update.
I'm on Verizon with an S7, but fwiw, mine just crashed as I was watching *cough*...a certain type of video... in chrome incognito.
Anyway, I tried everything, but only managed to get a few sounds and vibrations out of the device for 5 minutes. Then the camera flashlight turned and stayed on for about 10 minutes, but the sounds and all other responsiveness ceased. Finally about 15 minutes later, some button mashing somehow got me into maintenance boot mode, where I went into safe mode and rebooted from there. Everything seems to be normal again though. Incredibly strange. I've only had it for 3 days and not even changed much from stock yet.

Same thing happened to me while watching YouTube as well on my s7 edge. I'm concerned.
I had the same problem. I cleared the cache and it's working fine now.
Had the same problem watching a YouTube video days ago. Hasn't happened since thankfully.
Did you guys disable a bunch of apps in the system?
were any of you using the phone in a case. I noticed that I was listening to streaming radio ( on lte) and playing candy crush and twice the phone crashed and rebooted. I noticed the phone was very hot. I do have a case and I havent tried it without the case to see if I could replicate the issue.
I have been having random freeze and reboots a least 3-4 times a day. Hoping a software update fixes it
This also happend to me only while watching youtube thankfully I was at home and not out in public nowhere bc the loud sound was so loud it was kinda scary. This has happend to me twice so far and idk if it has anything to do with it but I was using a custom theme both times. And using stock theme it has never happend.
Have ANY of you guys tried to wipe your cache from recovery settings? In having horrid battery life so I did this and it took away some lag I was having. Hopefully makes my battery life better

my phone completely crashed during the new update! Tmobile is sending me a new phone
Me too when I was watching youtube
At launch my phone was working fine. Up until the last update (not the latest July 8th one) and after my phone would crash constantly. It only crashed once during a YouTube video. But crashes in any another things I'm doing.
The sound cuts out too, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the wwe supercard game I play or not 99% happens when I'm playing that game. But it has happened in other apps. The keyboard stops making sounds, YouTube or Facebook video wouldn't play audio. Sometimes it comes back, sometimes I gotta reboot it.
I just downloaded and installed the latest July 8th update today, and so far no issues. But I'll report back if any things fixed or not.
I had the same problem right after i got mine.. not a good video but was it like this? They replaced mine new one doesn't do it....
on youtube I posted a video of mine...samsung S7 edge youtube landscape video problem...( I cant post a link but you can search for it)
Wow. I thought I was the only one. Was watching a Facebook video. And made a loud hissing sound. I was scared

For the past couple of days now, whenever I try to play a video, I hear the audio fine, but don't see any video, just a black screen. At first I thought it was trouble with my YouTube app since that's basically where I only watch videos and read on several forums that the issue was caused by having the official twitter app (which is weird since I don't have twitter). I also tried restarting my phone, uninstalling/reinstalling youtube, installing older versions of youtube, all of which never worked.
So I decided to swallow my pride and just download a fake youtube alternative. To my surprise, the videos still show a black screen and only play audio. This had me thinking, so I tried to play a video in my camera roll I downloaded... Same problem, however, if I play a video I recorded myself on the phone it works... The even weirer part is though, that if I play a video through youtube via the Chrome browser it works (despite it looking like 140p and horrible audio) but it works! I've also tried smart cleaning, deleting cache and data but to no avail.
Is there a problem with my phones flash player, or whatever extension it uses? I know Chrome uses its own built in player which could explain why it sorks in Chrome but not anywhere else.
This all seemed to happen randomly, I didnt do anything. Games and other media including music still seem to work fine. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Also I am rooted on 12A and have been for the past 6 months.
I'm also having the same issue with my vs995 running on rooted 12A
