Nexus 7 Help / Yikes! Facebook won't open and now Youtube!
« on: March 15, 2013, 09:34:46 PM »
Hi there
LOVE my Nexus 7 and I use it a lot! It is such a useful and incredible tool (and toy too
). But today it has started acting very strange and I'm worried something horrible has happened. I hope it can be set right... 
Facebook started loading very slow and then eventually just stopped working at all. I signed out and tried to sign in again, but it just hangs for about a minute or so and finally gives me an error message. I uninstalled and reinstalled but still nothing. I kept trying, but nothing all day. I also tried going in through the browser but still nothing. I can't access Facebook help pages or anything.
Then this afternoon, YouTube stopped playing videos. I can access the site both thru the app and browser, but no video will play. How these are related, I can't imagine...but I have had virtually no probs with my "Tabby" the tablet until now (apart a small goof with my gmail, which caused me to -fortunately- stumble across this forum and find a fix
).
And just to make a strange case even stranger, I finally set down my Nexus and went to my PC, and the same thing is happening there. No access to FB and no video play on YouTube. However, on my phone, no probs with either one, and I was able to sign in and use FB and YouTube on my husband's PC.
I'm at a loss...and yearning for my Nexus to be well again. Any ideas?
Thanks much,
