Weird little problem with my Galaxy S4, tried 3 different roms including stock 4.4.2.
Was wondering if someone knew of possible solutions.
videos freeze, audio keeps playing, then after a few seconds, the video resumes in fast forward, until it catches up with the audio.
It's nice that it forwards and catches up, but how can I prevent this?
At first I thought it was MX player, but I noticed it happened while using netflix as well.
Doesn't always happen, which is the annoying. I managed to watch 3 episodes of Dexter without a problem, then the 4th, problem.
On a different day, the first video I tried, it plays fine, then about 20 minutes into the video, freezes.
Aside from an Odin restore and wiping everything, does anyone have any suggestions on fixing video related problems on android?
Edit: Crap , it freezes when playing games too..GPU problems?

My atrix is ATT version, and everal days ago I updated to 2.3.4 by installing Cherryblur 1.4d, then changed to Alien #2.
Today I noticed the phone having audio playback issues: when playing music, it sometimes stutters, especially during locking/unlocking screen.
I have tried 2 different audio players: stock and Meridian player, but both of them have this issue. Is is common? Do you guys have such problem?
Yes I've noticed this as well. To me, it seems to be whenever the OS is *doing something*. So if I'm loading another app, for example, it will give a little "ffvvtttzzzfffttt" in the playback.
That being said, I haven't noticed it doing it anymore... Seems to have stopped by itself...
I installed 5.0 using this guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873
It works fine thus far apart from one really annoying problem. I watch Twitch.tv on my phone and videos a lot. Whenever I have Twitch on, it doesn't allow me to watch in source quality, only high without lagging yet when I had 4.4.2 it allowed me all the time. And with watching videos... after sometimes 1 or 2 minutes, it freezes on a frame on the video yet the audio will continue. I can tell when it's about to happen as the lip sync starts to become messed up then within 5-10 seconds, it'll freeze.
Any help appreciated.
I'm having the same problem but on youtube and my camera video recording don't work how fix that plz help i m on lolipop
I've tried to resolve this issue before by doing some research, but left with no avail.
YouTube will play a video just fine 2 minutes in, but almost every time I watch a video, the video will freeze, and the audio will keep playing. The actual video freezes though, not the display, meaning I can use the controls and switch to a different video.
Another issue I have is, when the video comes to an end, it will cut off the very last second, so I can't hear the very last second of the video, which I've been finding very annoying. I'm on a ROM, and I've tried this with stock with no results.
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 started experiencing that large video playing on YouTube lags the sound, especially when a video is long. The sounds go way ahead from the video. It looks like the phone lacks the ram or performance but it has a decent tech specification, should be an issue, especially when I play a video on a low resolution. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
I have a similar issue with video playback. However, it is not only with youtube, it is with all videos. Even those on google photos, etc. The playback timer doesn't start, but the video starts with no sound, then the playback timer starts with the sound and the video freezes until the sound catches up with the video. The issue disappears with a restart and only started happening recently. Very odd.
Made an account for this lul... Anyways it seems like I fixed the issue on my phone, I disabled the mobile manager, let me know if that works for you. Good luck
I had to update youtube
