Bug Report: latest software update to the S7 Edge introduced a bug on the lock screen that makes the phone near-unresponsive when playing music from Pandora, Spotify or Amazon Music. The problem only occurs when the app is running and the phone is locked with the widget on the lock screen. Trying to play/pause or unlock the screen now takes 5-10 seconds each time. Once the phone is unlocked, performance returns to normal. I thought the apps might need to be updated, but this did not help. I never experienced this issue prior to the last software update from Verizon / Samsung: G935VVRU2APD2 on May 12th, 2016.
Please Verizon, fix the bug that was created! Thanks.
