| 1443923 | 2017-12-21 21:59:00 | Merry Xmas, festivous , solstice Ive a old Tablet (Android old = 2+ years) Samsung Tab2 , 7" . Android v 4ish The old Youtube app will no longer connect, YT obviously now blocking the old YT app. Same with my Old(ish) android ph with the old YT app . My New(ish) phones with newer YT app: no issues . The issue is, the new YouTube app, is too much of a resource hog to be usuable on the Samsung Tablet . It works but is so slooooow to navigate around the app. Unusable Its not streaming speed thats the issue, its the YT apps that are the issue. Any suggestions ? Any other YT viewing apps I could try Youtube is all I use the Tablet for. At the moment Im having to view YT via a browser in the tablet, an awefull experience but somewhat usuable . Otherwise its scrap an otherwise perfectly working tablet , Id rather not as it wasnt cheap. Im guessing YT blocks the old YT app as they couldnt deliver all their adverts into it :-) |

| 1443924 | 2017-12-22 02:23:00 | I bit the bullet & replaced it Bought a Lenovo Tab4 8" , $239 from JB Hfi . For that price no point mucking about with the old one . Should be about a year before its completely abandoned by the manufacturer. Many Androids are quickly abandoned so now often updates or patches ever available, so given that I cant see the point of buying an expensive Tablet if you wont get patches & updates for trhem The next question is, what can I do with my old, now obsolete Tablet ? :) |

| 1443926 | 2017-12-22 21:39:00 | They make great bedside alarm clocks, and MP3 players. I gave away my old Nexus 7 when it got too slow personally. Even though it kept getting updates longer than yours would have 1gb of RAM is not enough for modern android versions and runs poorly in my experience. Googling the Tab 2 7" suggests it's 5 years old since release, positively ancient in tablet terms. | dugimodo (138) | ||
