Anyone with video playback problems? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
i got my S7 Edge since thursday and so far I'm very satisfied except for one problem.
It happened 3 times so far that NO video playback would work. Not in Youtube, not in the browser...
Youtube would then say something like "please try again" and videos in the browser just wouldn't start when pressing the play button.
The only thing that helps is rebooting the phone which is really annoying. Anyone else with this problem?

Yes I have the same issue and it's not just youtube. HBO now and go do the smell thing over made over. I have an s7 edge international version

YouTube Video Playback Stutters A lot

Hey guys, I have been having a few issues with the YouTube app stuttering a lot, about every 4-6 seconds. I was just wondering is anyone else having these issues? Update: Still happening, even after a factory reset, and downgrading to the stock version of the app. What is the issue here? I know its not the WiFi because my brothers galaxy tab 3 runs videos just fine. Is it a defect in my system?

[Q] Watching videos in the web browser(chrome)

hi,
Good day.
I have a problem regarding watching videos in the web browser specially in chrome/facebook(videos).
I recently flashed the official rom for i9505 which i got from samsung-updates via Odin after that I'm having a hard time watching videos in the web.
The problem I am encountered was the video hangs for a second but the sounds/audio keeps on playing then when I press the back and play it again, the video is in slow motion but the sounds/audio is good. I already search in the web but can't find a good one, I'm hoping that one of you guys encountered this kind of issue.
btw, I already did reformatting my phone twice.
Thanks in advance.
Do other browsers work?
Nope
I tried firefox and the default browser, im still encountering the same problem

Phone freeze/crash

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

[Problem] Galaxy S8 auto restart when playing videos on Youtube or Facebook

Hello,
So my new Galaxy S8 just restart when i play a video on facebook or youtube. Thats freaking annoying.
I already tried enter in safe mode, same problem.
I already factory reseted my phone, same problem.
Anyone have this problem?
My phone have less than 1 week, i think the best way its to change to a new phone on store.
Thanks
Guys any help on this problem?
Got once after fresh update to the newest version AQJ1. No more reboots since then.
@mikewilc i already tried that firmware but im with the same problem.
Did you try using youtube app in full screen with no problem?
Yep. No issues. The 1st and only one time phone was restarted when I clicked play on sublinked video from utube within frame.

Amazon Prime Video issue

Wondering if anyone is having the same problem I am with the OnePlus 6T or has suggestions to fix it. When I try to play videos I downloaded through Amazon Prime for offline viewing, the sound only comes through in extremely short stutters or not at all. If I stream it works as expected. Already reinstalled Prime Video, tried all the download quality options, and no change. Downloaded and streaming video from Netflix works fine. Guessing codec issues or sound settings but haven't found a solution thus far.
Anyone else run into this?
Did you root O6t ?
I saw on one of the post that, there's some issue with Amazon & netflix videos after root.

Are you on the T-Mobile version? The latest OS update pushed out a few days ago broke Play Store certification for many people. That can cause issues with apps that use DRM, like Netflix and I guess maybe Amazon Prime Video. If this is the case, clearing data/storage on the Play Store fixes it. Source.
ETA: Just noticed the timestamp on the OP, doh. Oh well, leaving my post up in case anyone else having this problem more recently comes here looking for answers.
