It's a Samsung. About my third of theirs and after this the last.

I have always had Samsung too.    I like them.
Never had any problems with them,  but I don't use mine for all the things you do,  so perhaps that's why?

Hardly high tech or an unusual requirement to listen to stuff.

It's a bug they've introduced because it used to work perfectly and I've changed no settings. There have been quite a few updates lately.

Have it playing something. Tilt the phone as gently as you and the sound stops and the restarts when you tilt it back. I can't think why they thought that would be a useful new feature or even an old one they accidentally turned on.

It will be something to do with something that you can turn off by laying the thing screen down.

That does sound daft,  and like you say,  I can't see the point of that at all.

Oh, I can see the point.  Imagine you're listening to something and you nod off or, more likely, someone has hit you over the head with something solid as the racket from your phone is annoying them and everyone else around you and you are knocked unconscious.  It'd be really useful if that bloody noise stopped all by itself.

That would be a useful feature but it needs to check if on speaker or bluetooth. Being a bit mutton i listen on Bluetooth and it still stops


It may also be useful to stop you losing your place if you nod off but happens with the phone in your pocket too. Only the other day I bent down to pick up a halfpenny on the road and it stopped and I nearly got run over

You could strap it to a spinning gyroscope so it'll always stay upright.
