Have to force close when trying to view a video on Facebook that was posted with phone. Youtube vids work great it's just not working with ones that were posted by phones and it has worked since I got the phone about a month ago

use the mobile site (m.facebook.com) as it is much batter than the app. look at the rating and the review of the app and you'll see why you have problems. it's just not stable.....and the recent update is awful. if you creat a shortcut to the mobile site on your home screen, then it's almost just like using the app, except that it works.

Hello bulldog69! So, these videos you're trying to watch. Were they posted using your phone or someone else's phone? Are the videos viewable using a desktop/laptop computer?

The videos are posted on Facebook that someone else posted from phone  and my own. It is friends videos which always worked on Fascinate and vids work great on computer. I think a few days ago was able to view one and today same thing have to click force close and even tried using our wifi and same problem. Pulled battery and restarted no luck. So far vids on YouTube work great on Revolution

My apologies. We're not always able to reply in a timely manner. I will certainly work to change that! Thank you for your answers. It sounds like we've isolated this as being an issue related to Facebook. If you have activated or are actively using the Facebook app on your phone, I would recommend removing and the app and trying to view the videos by navigating to the page using the device browser.
