My apps are downloading insanely slow

[AlphaVictor87]

I'm not sure whats going on. I tried updating some relatively small apps yesterday and a download that should have taken about 5 seconds, was taking 5+ minutes.

I checked my wifi download speeds, getting 22 Mbps down and about 3 up. Youtube loads fine, websites load fine. I tried a restart, i tried clearing the cache on the google play store app, i tried a hard restart, i tried forgetting my wifi network and reconnecting. I even tried using my phone as a mobile hotspot which even when my tab connected to that had similar speeds to my wifi, still was taking so long to download an app update.

I also had my phone connect to wifi, then did an app update on that, and it went VERY quickly, so i know it has something specifically to do with my tab.

Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix other than a factory reset?

You also Cleared Data from the Google Play Store, right? Also try Clearing Cache/Data from the Download Manager app.

I did not clear the data. Forgot about that option. I'll also try the download manager app tonight as well and report back.

Must have been some weird one time thing. i went home yesterday and all my apps downloaded as expected speed wise.
