After gaming on my G2 for a couple hours. (after reading a top ten android games thread) I found the home screen flickering. Kind of frustrating because all of the other pages were fine.
I had auto brightness OFF .
I turned it ON and then OFF and the flickering stopped.
I would love to know if anyone else sees this, and if toggling AutoBrightness ON/OFF fixes it for you as well.
yes i have the same issue and so does a lot of others with this device.
i am going to flash PA later and see if it does it on that also.
thatll hopefully determine if its a software or hardware issue.
i have a couple issues with this device.
streaming music causes a screeching sound in my headphones that i dont get when i listen to music already on the device.
dual camera mode does not work for me either, at least with my stock cam app.

I have updated my ROM to IJ9 but the ****ing annoying bug still remain.
When I'm listening to music with wired headset, if the screen is off, music STOPS with no reason. This happens always, but with random times. Sometimes, minutes after screen goes off, sometimes one hour after.
It happens like the same with both TouchPlayer and WMP. But TouchPlayer have hiccups when the screen is off.
Closing and reopening the player, and replugging the wired headset seems to solve, BUT i don't want to do it everytime.
Anyone facing this bug?
..sadly, it can only be solved by turning off the motion etiquette...
I'm trying it disabled this week.
Some Samsung implementations are a real shame.
My life is now better with etiquette off. Maybe i will implement it by myself.
Jun... if you implement a better etiquette plz let us know

I think you're talking about the exact thing that's been really getting on my nerves too: music just stops for no reason but restarts when you press the on buttn, or music skips and jumps like a gramophone record! There is a huge post about this on the HTC forum, and even a little patch (sorry for not having a link for you.) But anyway, I tried the ptch on my B7610 and it didn't work. I see it says here to disable the motion protocol - how do you do that? I presume that's something to do with G-sensor. I'm surprised so few people have mentioned this problem, but it does seem to be a Win Mobile thing rather than a Samsung or HTC thing.
So I'm having an issue with the speakers on my Nexus 7, and it's almost definitely not that same one everyone else is experiencing where volume above 50% gets distorted.
On occasion, after waking my N7, what will happen is that whenever it first plays a sound, whether it's music, video, a notification, or the keyboard typing sound, the speakers will just kind of make a quick scratching/crackling sound and completely give out. However, sound will eventually return completely to normal if I A. just continue to use the tablet for a minute or so, B. turn the display off and on, or C. turn the device off completely then reboot it. Outside of this weird issue, audio is completely fine. The tablet is currently unrooted, running the stock ROM.
Any thoughts? I'm really hesitant to RMA this one (I've RMA'd one before due to random creaking issues) because it's in perfect shape otherwise and don't really want to play the N7 lottery again if it's something that can be fixed either by myself or with a future update.
Anyone?
I have the same problem but no fix for you I also just wait it out a few seconds and it fixes itself...
I had problems where my n7's sound would completely cutout on netflix idk if its the app or speaker :/ ?
Happens everyday (even with my S6). It'll stop when audio is playing for a bit, or after I hit the volume button. It doesn't do it constantly through out the day, but it'll happen atleast once everyday i'm listening to audio. Anyone else?
Anyone?
It is happening with my S8 either when playing games or youtube and even music.
This problem started after the software update. So i think it is a software issue..
Whenever the sound cut off, i just lock the screen and unlock it back....
Hope Samsung will release a software update as soo as possible
Games is fine for me, it's just players like YouTube, music apps, and players inside websites. Just gotta press play again. Pretty annoying, but happens atleast once a day, not constantly through out the day.
It happens to me in Youtube and NBA app when video is being played.
Sometimes the screen just shuts off completely too.
I agree it's not consistent.
To add, sound not working sometimes when i am using skype and even sometimes for my alarms.
What do you think, is it a software problem or hardware?
Seems to happen more through out the day now. It's pretty annoying.
This just started happening to me yesterday. I've tried restarting my phone, pausing the video and playing it again, turning the volume all the way down then back up. All of those things restore the sound but it'll cut out a few seconds later. Also audio plays just fine in my headphones.
I dont have my s8 yet, but this sounds like a problem I used to have on a previous galaxy s phone (i think it may have been the s4). It turned out I had a setting enabled where the player pauses or stops when I'm not looking at the screen. It's called smart pause. Could be something similar although i'm not sure.
Uggg
Same problem here. Got the s8 less than a week ago and I use spotify offline (downloaded) and Google Music for downloaded files and it always pauses after about 15 minutes, sometimes sooner. I don't use battery saver, and none of the 'smart' features are enabled. It happens with headphones, without headphones, on Bluetooth. Just pauses the song and I have to hit play again, super annoying and I can't find any fix. I'm really regretting this purchase.
I also have S8 and currently experiencing this kind of issue. Every after 1 minute of playing either youtube or videos on my phone it paused and I didn't even clicked it.
I have a problem like this on my s7edge. Then I thought it can be related third party apps. And yes when I uninstall Sputnik news app, it solves the problem.
I can't seem to find an answer anywhere to this and I am starting to think I am the only one with this problem. Basically when listening to a podcast at ~1.9x or faster the audio stutters and produces a static sound. Waking the screen immediately stops the issue. The issue gets worse if you increase the speed or enable the "skip silence" feature.
I made sure to disable any battery saving options for the app and enabled any workaround options within the app. I even contacted the developer who pretty much just said that the phone is governing the processor too low with the screen off. I have tested other podcast apps and they seem to function fine even at faster playback speeds. For some reason, this only affects Podcast Addict.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Anybody have a suggestion for a fix? I am completely stock OOS version 4.5.6. I have the 8/128GB model if it makes a difference.
Edit: So I have messed with it a little more. It seems to have issues even if the screen is on and the app is not in the foreground. Within ~5 seconds of being put into the background it begins to stutter.
I have the same exact problem. Happens wired and via bluetooth.

I recently updated to Podcast Addict beta and the problem is not as bad as it was (although still worse than on my ancient Note 3).
Hello,
recently, actually 6 months ago, i bought a pair of BT headphones and i finally became pissed with random cut ofs when listening to music. I disabled the power managment thing, that in my opinion only annoys you, for spotify. But guess what it still cuts of at random but when i am watching a movie there are no cut ofs. So i think it has something to do with the power manager still trying to stop something. Any idea what should i do to fix this?
In the power management menu, hit the 3 dot menu button for further options of screen lock settings for apps. Maybe that?
Which music app are you using? Look at audio focus settings and buffer. Maybe it cuts out when a notification sounds? Also look at developer settings for anything relating to BT. I would test with more than one BT listening device too.

I use Spotify and Player Pro for music. I looked at the lock screen cleaning and I am even more confused with what is written there. English isn't my native so that might be it or its because there is bad wording.
Where can I found the "audio focus settings and buffer"?
Notifications are not it I was paying close attention to it for awhile and when it happened there ware no notifications.
About other BT devices, when I get a chance to try others I will definitely try, but I don't think it's the headphones because watching movies with MX Player works fine.
G'day Mousman, I recently encountered something very similar after upgrading to the latest B10 firmware on A2017G.
Spotify would stop after only a couple of minutes once the screen was off while playing through bluetooth. Its not the BT turning off because my car headunit shows it still connected, and if I tell the display to stay on permanently it doesn't stop.
I had my phone in Performance mode in power plan settings and all power optimistions off for spotify but had auto start on. Still no dice.
Today I changed the power plan to Smart power save and it didn't kill spotify. Only had a quick car ride home but so far so good.
Perhaps you should try switching your Power Plan to the opposite of the your current setting?
UPDATE: This really does seem to have fixed the issue for me, cannot understand why though... Anyway I feel like a factory reset would have sorted it also I've just been to slack to do one because I'm waiting for Oreo.
I am also waiting for oreo so no factory reset right now. And I have it on the smart power mode so I will try performance for a couple of days. One thing I noticed is when I change the settings for Spotify back and forth, flip the switch on and off, it works really nice for a day or so then it goes back to cutting off

Interesting, since I switched mine its been working well for the past couple of days, I hope it stays that way. Let me know how it goes for you.
I figured one thing about the audio and that is that it only happens in certain places. The other day I was at home and it never happened but it always happens in one spot when I walk home.
