Slow download and install from Google Play Store.

[AC Question]

I have an LG G4 running 5.1. For a good while now trying to download and install updates or new apps from the Google play store are painfully slow.

It can take 10 minutes or more to start the download and the install goes equally slowly. Once the actual download starts it downloads quickly then takes a long time to install.

Any ideas?

Good afternoon,

I don't have a fix for this, but i can confirm i have exactly the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Stock Android 6.XX) AND Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (Stock Android 5.XX) since about 2 months.

It's very frustrating, tried everthing including factory reset and of course diffirent wifi and cellular networks.

So no fix, but at least there's another victim and it doesn't seem Samsung related

I had same problem. I finally found a fix after weeks of searching. It's a router issue.

You need to go to your router settings and disable WWM Support. You can find that setting under the QoS (Quality of Service) section. If you don't know how to access your router settings, google the name and model of your router and you should find instructions.

I was amazed that this fixed the issue.

No, I have unlimited 4G hi data speed. And it does that on other people's high speed routers so that's not the issue
