Galaxy S20+ Sound stutter/lag when screen is off - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hi,
If I'm playing a song or in a call and turn the screen off, the sound starts to stutter/lag immediately and starts to work find as soon as the screen is turned on. This happens with any app that is playing music/sound.
I have NOT updated my phone recently and I'm in the latest software update (Android 10).
This issue started suddenly and I'm not sure if it's something from the settings or what.
Disabling the "Optimise Battery Usage" for apps such as YouTube Music, Spotify, Messenger and WhatsApp did NOT solve the issue and the sound stuttering still occur when using these apps while the screen is off.
Restarting the phone did not resolve the issue.
This issue occurs while the phone is charging as well.
Any suggestion of how to resolve this issue? Anything apart from Factory Reset.
Also, my device is NOT rooted.
Thanks in advance!

"mediaserver" eats up my CPU

Hi there. I'm running the OTA FroYo, I've never rooted my phone and never probably will I didn't have any problems with it so far. I've made numerous 720p recordings without problems but this morning when I pressed record the app froze - all labels and icons disappeared and only the camera feed remained. Then when I closed the app my battery started draining fast. With OS Monitor I pinpointed the culprit - mediaserver. It's a system process and I can't kill. I tried killing all apps with a task killer with no luck. When I restart the phone the mediaserver doesn't do any problem until I turn on the camcorder app even if I don't press record. And even if I press record it just freezes again... I tied changing codecs and different settings and making numerous reboots but apparently those things didn't work at all...
So does anybody have an idea how to fix that? Have anybody experienced a similar problem?
I have this same issue. My phone went from 100% at 7am to 15% just before 11am because I made a video last night and didn't reboot the phone afterward. This has only happened since the 2.2 update.
It's good to hear it's not just me... Hope there's a way to resolve the issue. Can we somehow send an inquiry to HTC?
I have the media service running on my orange UK 2.1 phone... I stop it.. nothing happens.. all my pics work fine.. music etc...
just out of interest i had this problem when i had NimBuzz installed and it was on auto login, when i turned auto login on start-up off mediaserver goes.
just an idea
have not got numbuzz or any " extra " music" apps....
I had the same problem after upgrading to 2.2. Wiping my data and settings fixed it.
I don't have Nimbuzz as well...
Well, I hope there's another way to do it. I don't want to erase my data and settings :/
Wow! I just tried recording a video and it worked like a charm! The problem has magically dissapeared! I tried so many things so I can't really point out which one actually worked. Basically I think changing the video codec, unmounting/mounting the SD card (I did it by connecting the phone to the pc as a data device) and restarting the phone helped. I did those things several times in different orders.

Issue with losing data connection as soon as screen turns off

Hi all,
I have the strangest issue with my phone:
Whenever i'm streaming any music or podcasts on my phone (3g connection), the playback works perfectly for a couple of minutes and then it quits and does not resume until i turn the screen on again. As background, I was using the Android Revolution for a couple of months and was thinking that this might be caused by some sort of power saving feature, that cuts the data once the screen is turned off. I'm back to stock now and I'm still having the same issue. This is not application-related, since the same thing is happening with pocketcasts, spotify and google play music.
Can't find any other threads with the same kind of description of the issue, so I'm thinking I'm alone with the issue. The only thing I can think of would be my mobile service provider, but it makes no sense that the data connection would drop immediately when the screen is turned off. Also, the sleep mode has no effect on the issue.
Does anyone have any ideas!?
Try turning off SLEEP MODE from the power tab under settings.

Power Saver Mode (done by HTC) has an option that Disables data every time the screen goes off.
Although while I am streaming music on soundcloud , It still works with screen Off .

Just to let you guys know, that this was in fact caused by Android Revolution. I switched back to stock rom and was having issues with the play store not downloading apps that you have selected from the browser-based store. Had the same kind of issues with AR, so was thinking that the problem is still continuing. Used the stock rom over the weekend and noticed that even though i'm getting the random pause in music every now and then, the overall experience is way better.

Music Auto stop problem.

Hey, i got a problem. Sometime when i play music on my Xperia T2 Ultra Dual, it sometimes stop playing music and them resumes after 30 some seconds. first i thought this issue was with walkman app, so i bought poweramp but the issue persists. i have also used some other player too. so i just want to know that if this issues is with my phone and its hardware or is is a firmware bug and how to solve it....:good::good::good:
I use to had similar problem, as well my phone hangs, when volume up key is pressed,
I went to service center, somehow they fixed it, now working fine.
They were not able to inform me what was the exact problem.
I've that problem.
Sent from my D5322 using XDA Free mobile app
having same problem... recent update to 5.0.2 didn't solve it.
and it occurs with any music player not just walkman.
any solution?
I've rooted so any root based solution is also welcomed.
please help.
I have the same problem with Pandora. Didn't start happening until I updated to 5.0.2
Sent from my D5316 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm also facing same problem in addition my headphone MH410 most of the time can't register double clicks for playing next track. I noticed the problem presists with other headphone leads also.
I am having issue with playing any song with any music player on xperia t2 .
Track being played stops(sound) however the track is still in playing status.this happens for 5-6 seconds and sound comes back again.Do we have any fix for this?.
Coming from t2 ultra dual on carbon rom, music only stops playing when screen is locked for a couple of minutes. It doesnt stop playing if the screen is on. So i'm thinking it has something to do with the sleep cycles of the device. I haven't been able to pinpoit it though. Nothing ive done so far helped.
Hey guys I was having the same problem but just found a fix,it worked for me hopefully it works for u also..
Power management /Extended standby /Apps active in standby and add music to it.
Solution Finally!
HI, guys, I'm gonna share the solution I've found and it works great, plus it doesn't involve tinkering with anything.
The music auto-stop problem lies deep underneath the application that locks the screen of your phone or probably something malfunctions when the screen is locked. Now, there is a difference between turning off the screen (the light) and locking it. Turning off the lights does not essentially means locking it off. And, as our problem starts when the screen is locked we will try NOT locking it. So, go to Settings->Security->Screen Lock and select "None". This will essentially prevent your phone from locking the screen anyways.
---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------
But, hold on, does that mean it also removes any kind of security that prevents nosey people from intruding? Yes, it does.
So???
Well, first of all you cannot have screen locked while listening to music. You can turn on/off screen lock after/before you listen to music, but that's annoying.
So, I suggest get this app: jet audio
There's an option in this app to modify screen lock option when this app is running on foreground. In this player, go to preferences->Screen then select No Screen Lock and then use it to listen to music (it's actually a very cool player. for those of you who are using paid players try the plus version, worth every penny.)
Hope this helps.
Note: you don't need to apply both to make this work. If you're using jet it will override the system screen lock settings while it's playing and is foreground
Note2: music players other than jet may have this no screen lock option, you can try those too.
just update it to 5.1.1
because i never faced such problems in 5.1.1

[Q] Music Player issues since lollipop...

Hi all,
First time poster so please go easy on me..
Basically since the lollipop update (stock unbranded HTC M8) my stock HTC music player app has developed a rather annoying bug which involves the music song displaying its length completely wrong (please see attached pics). This causes the track to skip and jump to another track completely. It is very annoying!
It is not just with the HTC Music app either, I use a podcast app and the problem is also persists on that app too.
I have cleared caches, deleted and re-installed the podcast app. I don't know what to do apart from factory resetting the device hoping that will fix it.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading

Another one here with exactly the same problem. Unrooted, stock UK M8. Only happened since OTA update to Lollipop. Also noticed this (or very similar) issue appears to sometimes affect my Pocket Casts podcast app as well. The only time I've ever seen anything like this in the past was an old MP3 player I had that displayed incorrect times if music was encoded with variable bit rate. However all the music I have on my M8 is fixed bit rate so it's not that...
Does no one have any idea yet why this is happening or any suggestions for a fix? I've found that clearing the cache under Settings > Apps > All > Music can sometimes fix the issue temporarily. Soon comes back again though.
Ok this seems to have resolved it on my phone for now:
- Eject SD card (all my music is stored on SD)
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music > Clear Cache
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music Enhancer > Clear Cache
- Reinsert SD card
- Fully reboot phone by holding Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds
I'm still seeing a few isolated little glitches with some song times but they seem to be resolving themselves after a few goes, and the majority are currently displaying correctly.
Regarding the podcast side (using Pocket Casts app), I think I may have fixed this incidentally a few days ago when I moved my podcasts from using phone storage to SD. Taking this into account, it looks to be some kind of database corruption after the Lollipop upgrade, hopefully all ok after letting the phone rebuild its relevant media databases from scratch (I suspect a full factory reset would also fix it.) I wonder if the update included some kind of change to the MP3 decoding codec used which somehow misinterpreted the cached time info?
Same issue .. and lot of issues since lollipop
I did exactly like you said .. but I still get the same annoying bug .. and also there are many bugs after lollipop . like if you cleared recent apps and soundcloud was one , you see soundcloud's notification in the top left , when you slide it down , you see the latest song you have been playing , and it is frozen you can not clear it . and when you touch it , it opens again soundcloud .. you cannot fully close the app .. only if you did that in running Apps and force stop it .. EVEYTIME .. is that normal ? please help . and is it also possible to get back to Android kitkat ?!
I too have a similar issue... When playing, if I pause the song or audio book and exit the app, when reopening it forces the song or book to reset back to the beginning. Before it would resume from the place it was paused at.
Any ideas?
Audio messed up by lollipop

Does it play the full song inspite of showing the wrong length, or even the song's messed up ? A hard reset helps sometimes
Same problem here. Audios received by whatsapp have the same problem sometimes. I reverted to kitkat and the problem is gone, upgraded again to lollipop and problem is back. My music is on internal storage. Poweramp do not have this problem.
Hi,
I had same issue, it turned out that it appeared after turning off Nuplayer option in dev settings. When I turn it on again, as for now (2 days), works as expected.

i will try turning it back on to see if problem persists here.
EDIT:Turning nuplayer back on solved the problem. thanks.
I'll give that a try too. I can't remember why we turned off NuPlayer in the first place, but isn't there some other issue?
Guys the problem is caused by enabling dev options then turning it off
Just head into bev options and enable Nuplayer.it worked for me
Turning nuplayer on helps but than Messenger lags very often. Any solutions about that?
Thanks, turning on NuPlayer worked for me too !

Help!!! Media keep pausing randomly.

So every time I use apps such as YouTube or twitch, they will pause at random. I've got the US version of the phone and I am running cuocos latest 11S Rom but I've also tried cm12.1 v4 by betahydri and the same problem occurs. I am 100% sure it's not my internet connection. Its very strange because I believe I didn't have this issue when I first got the phone. I have also noticed that when I am taking a video the phone will sometimes stop recording by its self. It seems like the phone hangs and resets the apps I am using(?) Anyone can help? Very disappointed :/
