So I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 that I've had since about Thanksgiving 2015. Just recently it has started "refreshing" for lack of a better term.
For example; I'll be on Instagram, scrolling through all the selfies, and suddenly the app will refresh, taking me back to the top of the page. Facebook does virtually the same thing. Snapchat will close out of whatever I have (so if I just took a pic, it will close it) and go back to the camera main screen which stays black for about half a second. Youtube will do this too (and to be honest I think just about every app using network will I just haven't noticed) but when Youtube does it, the video will pause, it will rebuffer the part I'm on, and show the thumbnail and I have to press play again.
I'm not sure quite what causes this, or how to fix it. It definitely isn't a regular interval either. I also don't think it's my WiFi connection, because this actually started when I was on vacation, using my cabin's WiFi so it isn't just at home. I also believe it has done it on data, but I'm not for sure. What is going on?
