I've noticed that when using YouTube and playing something through a PLAYLIST and tilting the phone towards the right that the volume will cut out until the screen has rotated. The volume will also cut out when tilting the screen from the right position to the straight up position.

After more testing I have found that this issue exists when playing any video from any app or gallery that the video is being played from.

This does not happen when tilting the phone to the left.

I have the 6P and I've noticed it on all 6Ps I've come across.

In order to get fixes for things like this we need people to confirm the issue.

just found your post on here when i looked for youtube app issue with 6p. I tried yours and can confirm that audio was cut off when rotate to the right instead of left. i do have another issue atm that everytime when try to watch vids from youtube in landscape from my playlist, went back to playlist and it already scrolled back to the top and not at current position like my other phones. However if in portrait mode it is fine to stay where i watch when go back to the list. Is there anyone has this issue or just me? thanks

Same issue here with playlists not holding its position. Also, sometimes while scrolling in playlist the app crashes.:rolleyes:

Does this happen outside of the YouTube app. For instance take a video on your phone and test it like you do with YouTube. If it doesn't cut out then at least it's narrowed down to YouTube.

This is an issue that exists in the entire phone and not just youtube. You can play a recorded video from your gallery and try rotating your phone and the same issue will appear.

Has nobody else noticed this?........I am shocked!!!

Come on guys chime in

The audio does cut out for a bit, but it actually makes sense! When holding the phone in portrait mode or rotated left, the top speaker is the left channel and the bottom speaker is the right channel.

Flip the phone to the right, and the speaker positions are reversed, so the phone has to reverse which channel each speaker corresponds to. Being that it has to switch the audio, there probably won't be a fix for it.

Note this happens with any audio source.
