Help Facebook App issues with installing

JahmezzT

Newbie
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (Android 5.1.1).

I have recently started having trouble with the Facebook App (go figure).

The issue is twofold. First whenever there is an update available for the app, it seems to stay stuck in the “installing” status forever. It has attempted to update the app for over 30 minutes one time before giving me the error message, Error 504 which is a Timeout error I believe. I also have seen it just stay in the Installing issue and I just gave up and restart my phone.

I’ve went through every step that Google Play offers and eventually something ends up working.

What is REALLY weird about this is usually in the midst of my frustration with this I just go ahead and uninstall and determine that I’ll reinstall the app later. Then later that day I either reboot the phone or shut it off while at an appointment and when I reboot the phone, guess what app is sitting there staring me in the face again? You guessed it, the Facebook App!!

This issue has happened when I tried downloading directly from the Google Play store and also from a PC Desktop.

The second issue I am experiencing with this LOVELY App is moving it to my SD card. Pretty much the same scenario, it attempts to move, and the errors out.

To clarify I can download and update other apps including the Facebook Messenger App without any of these issues.

Is this something I am doing wrong? Or is this something that can be corrected?

I’ve also went through every Troubleshooting suggestion that the play store offers. Usually I once I get through a few of these the App will install and I’ll get the app to move, but at the next update, back to the same issue.

VERY Frustrating!!
 
I have an S5, I uninstalled FB yesterday and then reinstalled it from Play Store via WiFi.
it seemed to go okay, I was just trying out the routine to help a friend who thought it would "loose all of his data", but it did not.

it did though, require that I login with my unique FB password.

For me, it went okay

Hi AZgl1500, yeah still same issues. I contacted even Google who asked me to remove my Google Account and resync it. I was able to reinstall FB, but still not able to move to my SD Card. I'm thinking at this point I may just use the mobile site.
