Facebook app won't update, uninstall, or re-install properly, tablet reboots
I'm on a Galaxy Tab 4, recently went to update Facebook, and it downloaded the update but never finished installing. Just said "installing" forever and then gave up. I wouldn't be concerned (there was still a working version of Facebook on the tablet), but after this happened it randomly rebooted in the middle of watching a YouTube vid, took forever, and then gave me an "Optimizing app 1 of 1" screen for 5 minutes before starting. Now every time I restart the tablet it does the same thing.
Things I've tried:
- Uninstalled Facebook through Settings, restarted and got "Optimizing app" screen. When the tablet started, Facebook was back (non-updated).
- Tried clearing app cache and app data and then uninstalling FB & restarting. Optimizing app screen and FB was still there.
- Tried wiping cache partition and then uninstalling FB & restarting. Optimizing app screen and FB was still there.
- Tried uninstalling FB and NOT restarting, app won't re-install. Eventually got a "-504" error message saying app can't be installed.
I've only found one person who had the same exact issue as me and they had no solution (on reddit). Thanks for any help!
