I need some help with my Gmail app on my Xoom.
Yesterday I was watching a Youtube video when my Xoom wouldn't stream any more. I rebooted it and it worked fine except when I try to launch the Youtube or Browser app from Gmail.
I got an email that someone uploaded a video to Youtube and when I click on the video to see it, I should get a pop-up asking if I want to launch it using Youtube or Browser just like it did before my reboot.
Now that never happens, the screen turns grey just like it would launch the pop-up but it never appears. It doesn't block the tablet because if I click on the screen it just goes back to Gmail like I didn't select anything.
Any ideas how can I fix this?
Thanks
No one? Absolutely no ideas what I should try?
I still need some help on this one...so if you've got any ideas please step forward
Having the same issue... and... it seems that clicking on a short cut from anywhere on the xoom produces the greyed out screen. Tried fixing permissions... no luck.
Edit: I found reference to rotating the screen when this happens, which then allows a selection. Fixed my issue.

My youtube app doesn't work and shows in settings as 0.00kb, what can I do to fix this problem?
I'm having the same issue. When I search for it in the market, it says "Open" as though it's installed, but when I click open, it brings me to the install screen. I hit install, it shows the progress bar for a second or two and then goes away. I can see Youtube in the manage apps screen, but not in the app drawer. If anybody has any suggestions here please let me know.
If it's just a select few of us, then maybe I'll try a factory reset. I'd just hate to lose all the setup work I did on it today.
It probably installed the "phone" version of YouTube. Uninstall youtube through settings and that will fix it. It is factory installed as part of the moto rom. Installing the market version conflicts.
It is nice that it preinstalls all the apps you had on your phone, but this has caused issues for some people. I uninstalled every app that was auto installed and then manually installed the apps I wanted.
I did a factory reset and it's on there now. Not the most subtle solution, but it worked.
Anyone with the wifi xoom test the youtube HD playback? Whenever I load an HD video in youtube (fullscreen) and click on the screen to bring up pause, seek bar etc the frame rate gets cut in half and I get massive lag. Is this happening to anyone else?
Here's a sample video.. is it supposed to lag/freeze when you tap the screen to bring up the youtube controls?

It happens when I don't touch the screen sometimes too, even after the video has been fully loaded.
Thanks..
Since last nights update to 3.2 i am getting a blinking screen when in Google music app. It just constantly blinks. i have about 7k sngs loaded onto Gmusic and never had any issues with tab or phone. Currently this issue only blinks on the tab. Still plays music but sometimes if i pull up an artist it won't seperate the albums.......
Is anyone else seeing this and is there any fix? Sorry if this has been addressed else where. I only have limited time at work to post this...

Cleared data. seems to be working for now.no blinks. thanks
I have had blinking occur when opening stock browser. It did go away after a few seconds.
I have this problem too! its like it keeps reloading the music ever 2 seconds and just flickers, if i clear the data/cache and force stop it, it'll work on the first open and then keep doing after until i clear and fore stop again.. anyone have a solution?
I am continuing to get this flickering problem.
The only way to correct it is as stated above- Clear data.
Than open app, it will work fine but than the next time i go into it the same issue- so have to clear data again.
Anyone else have this issue or come up with a permanent fix. Or any ideas...
Thanks, Still on Stock- not rooted fyi
whenever i go to google and start typing in something to search the moment i get one letter in, the screen changes to the google results screen and i have to click the search box numerous times to get it to work. once i finally do theres a 1sec delay from when i type the letter to when it appears on the screen. anyone have that issue?
I used to. Now I use www.google.com/m and it works fine.

I would often get annoying behavior too. I will have to try out the /m page. Thanks
Has anyone else had this problem just recently? I noticed that a new app called "Google Settings" randomly appeared on my Note this morning and since then, Gmail and Youtube are no longer able to go into multiwindow mode. I tried using MW Manager to fix Gmail... but it looks really weird in fullscreen mode. There's just this huge empty space on the right side while all the content is squished on the left side, as if it's still in windowed mode. I have not tried MW Manager for Youtube, yet.
I am running on stock Jellybean 4.1.2 and I'm rooted. I have no idea what's going on, since I've only had the tablet for 2 weeks and I barely downloaded anything (just some apps like LectureNotes and Layer Paint).
Any info/suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I have no idea why your youtube isn't multi Window anymore mine still is but I did notice the Google settings app randomly appear this morning, I was changing the lock screan apps at the time when it happened don't know if that had anything to do with it?
Update: seems google has installed a useless settings app on all of our devices overnight personally I dont want or need this so I would like 5o disable it but it isnt a listed app in application manager.

I have this problem from 1 year, from the day i bought the phone til now ive installed all updates.
Using chrome, after a while, 10 minutes or 1 hour, the page look like freezed, i try to scroll or touch but nothing.
I need to go to another app and come back (also just go to thumbnail view and back) then i see again the page and i see it scrolled until bottom if i did it when it was freezed. I mean that when the page freeze actually is working if i scroll or tap the page change but i need to change app and come back to see. It just appened right now
I've tried chrome beta and dev, same thing
Anybody knows about it?

I have the same problem! It's annoying as hell and I haven't found a solution. It's awesome phone otherwise but this one thing ruins the experience.
I found the solution
In chrome://flags find the "Android SurfaceControl" flag and disable it.
