[AC Question]

When watching videos every few minutes they stop and I have to push the play button again. It is aggravating and a pain to have to keep doing that!

The phone is a ZTE Warp 7, but I've had the same problem, I believe, with any phone I've had. No specific application, any streaming or playback of songs, videos anything. You tube, Netflix, everything. With or without headphones either way.

Do you notice any other phantom touches? If so, do you have a screen protector or a case on?

No phantom touches noticable. No protective screen. There is a case, but not in contact with screen.
Anything that plays back: songs, news articles, videos from files or streaming, Netflix, Hulu, you tube, anything that plays back. The pause symbol flashes up briefly and then the play button because playback has stopped.
Cannot figure it out!

Maybe it's the headphone jack sending false pause/play signals (that would normally be sent by a remote control button on a pair of headphones). Use a can of compressed air to blow it out, and a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts. If that doesn't work, you might consider bringing it to a repair shop to see if they can test the jack.
