Why is my music player and Youtube pausing randomly??

[Android Central Question]

Hi! I have a Samsung galaxy S5, and recently when i'm listening to music (phone on or off) or watching YouTube, my music will pause or my video will pause. I've checked and turned off the option that pauses stuff by putting your palm on the screen and the problem is still persisting. Thanks.

Is it buffering due to a poor connection?

(i just made this account, this is the person asking the question) No, I have my music downloaded onto my phone and my internet and bandwidth are really good. So its not buffering.

Just so we are clear, it pauses and you need to hit play again right?

Or does it pause and start back up again on it's own?

Any bluetooth connections?

Headphones or loudspeaker?

I know I've personally had issues with bad headphones pausing my music, and adjusting volume on their own. So if you are using head phones I would try another pair.
