Solving playback issues

[Fuddrucker]

I have the exact same problem -- if I'm using the app on Android 13, and I pause a show, if I receive a notification on the phone, the show starts playing again. I regularly come back from the bathroom to find that my show is already playing, and I have to scroll back to try to find where I was. As OP mentions, I've paused a show to check email or something else, only to receive a notification and have the show start playing agian -- multiple times in a few minutes!

I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the Roku app, no difference. This has been happening since at LEAST Feburary 2023.

I'm on a Samsung S22 running Android 13 with the Sept 1 2023 update. 

Roku app version is 9.8.1.2480266 (it says I'm on the latest version).

This happens anytime a show is paused on any service, e.g. Paramount+, Netflix, Amazon, etc.

@Fuddrucker, 

Thanks for the update!

We'd like to take a closer look into this. Could you share us the details below?

• Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About).
• Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID).

We'll be looking forward to it.

Thanks,

Rey

The information was provided almost 3 months ago. This is still an issue. What is the status?

Hi, I'm having this same issue with my samsung s23. Has it been resolved?

[Fuddrucker]

I've received no response and none of the newer updates to the app has fixed the issue.
