    Why does my phone pause music and videos

    I had this problem for a few weeks. I've uninstalled a few apps. The only ones that are likely to be common are Google Handwriting input and Ookla Speedtest. I also cleared the all apps' cache (something I should have done from the start). It's only been a day but so far so good.

    All media keeps pausing at random, please help!

    In safe mode, it's fine. When I come out of safe mode, and forced stop as many apps as I could, and with nothing else running, it still pauses. I listen to music on my device (on the SD card), but it also happens when I'm streaming videos from a NAS. It happens on any playback app (LG's Music...

    Can a nano sim be put into a micro sim slot on a older phone

    You can buy SIM adaptors. SIM cards come on a credit card sized piece of plastic with pop outs for the different sized SIMs. Use one of these discarded micros to fit your SIM into.

    All media keeps pausing at random, please help!

    It doesn't seem to be a phantom touch (I had to Google to find out about it). It can happen when the screen is off (the screen doesn't come on when it pauses, which I would presume would be a symptom). The phone can be playing a video quite happily and just stop, or I can be reading or browsing...

    All media keeps pausing at random, please help!

    My LG G6 has developed a similar problem over the last month, where it will pause music or video playback at random. It happens with wired and wireless headphones, bluetooth speaker, and without headphones. It happens using the LG Music app, Google Play Music, YouTube, VLC, etc. It can go a few...

    Music and videos pausing randomly

    My LG G6 has developed a problem over the last couple of months where it will pause music or video playback at random. It happens with wired and wireless headphones, bluetooth speaker, and without headphones. It happens using the LG Music app, Google Play Music, YouTube, VLC, etc. It can go a...

    LG G6 case with the best Grip

    It depends how much grip you really need. Short of rugged cases designed for throwing around on the decks of oil rigs, Spigen cases seem the best for normal use. I have a problem with the smooth sides of this and many phones (curse the insistence on 'premium' metal and glass phones). The Spigen...

    Very specific problem

    FYI It seems to have sorted itself out. I'm not sure how though. I reset the route and hey presto! It's fixed.

    Problem accessing NAS

    I looked these up, and they relate to the wireless security settings, right? The bit I read is from 2014 and says that TKIP is an old standard, so is it likely that this would be used on a router made in 2016? I can't see anywhere in my settings where these are.

    Problem accessing NAS

    Until yesterday I have been able to access videos, etc, stored on a NAS (d-link if it matters) from a Samsung S2 tablet, and from other devices. Yesterday I changed ISP to Vodafone and got a new router. This is up and running, and otherwise seems OK. I am still able to access my NAS from other...

    Very specific problem

    I am aware that I have a very specific problem with this S2, ES File Explorer and a new Vodafone router, but hopefully someone can offer advice. Until yesterday I have been able to access videos, etc, stored on a NAS (d-link if it matters) from this tablet. I could access them from other...

    Bootloop problem in UK - experiences and advice?

    Well I sent it back to the retailer over a month ago, and I have received it back a few days ago. So far so good. The ticket inside the box says that the main board has been replaced. It looks like LG had it for a week to repair, but the retailer only seemed to send it off and post it out to me...

    Bootloop problem in UK - experiences and advice?

    My LG G4 has just developed the infamous bootloop problem. I've factory reset it (after freezing it and blasting it with a hairdryer), and done everything I've read up about how to get it up and running if it's a software issue. It's an early one with a serial number in the range of those known...
