While watching videos on my Tab 8, the video will just pause without me touching anything. I can just hit the play button and the video continues. This happens about 2-3 times in a 5 minute video. Can be very annoying watching a movie. I've checked all my settings and I cannot see anything wrong. Am I missing something? TIA

- Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection. A weak connection can cause videos to pause.
- A simple restart of the device can cure glitches
- Try clearing the video player app cache & data - go to device settings > apps > video player > storage > clear cache & data ( clearing data will reset player)

If you are watching YouTube videos and are experiencing pausing, you may tap on the link below for a possible fix.
