Certain Apps Won't Connect

For the last few weeks, I have had some connectivity troubles with my Samsung Stratosphere. It seems that my Facebook and Wikipedia apps won't connect to the internet. As if this isn't strange enough, I can't even access these sites through my mobile browser! This happens when on Wi-Fi and when I am on 3g/4g connections. I also noticed a significant drop in internet speed once this started occurring. Sometimes, if I restart my phone, they will connect the first or second time I use them, then it's back to no connection for those apps and pages. I'm usually pretty tech savvy, but this is just weird, and I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it. I even restored my phone to factory settings and re-downloaded everything from the Play store. Any ideas?
 
hmm, have you tried taking the battery out and then rebooting, if that doesn't work maybe you should create a backup then reset your phone, just to see if that fixes it.

I did all of this. The last time I removed the battery and put it back was when it decided to pick on my browser connection.
