Google play doesn'the work after android update on Samsung Tab A

[AC Question]

Updated to 6.0.1 and apps started freezing or not responding. Did factory reset and now Google Play Store or any of the other Google related apps don'the work . Just gives me a blue checking info screen and then goes black. Using WiFi only tablet

Welcome to Android Central! Did you get the update over-the-air, or did you use Odin to manually install it?

Updated through automatic android notification. I am on a guest network at a relative'so house could this be part of the problem?

 

[B. Diddy]

Being on a guest network shouldn't matter. Does this happen in Safe Mode as well? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28317

No access in Safe mode. Only Google thing that works is chrome. All other Google Apps (play store, maps, Google search, play services) all go to a black screen after a few seconds of blue checking info screen. Can't add my Google account under accounts either.

I wonder if something messed up during the update procedure. Try reinstalling the firmware using Smart Switch: SmartSwitch: Install & update or replace firmware

Smart Switch did the trick. I can reload my apps that stopped.
