Help Instagram Restarts phone if...

[Vipfreak]

I start IG at all and it restarts when trying to delete/uninstall.

I dunno wtf happened, but I can't access IG at all on my phone... it will restart it if I open it or try to delete the app... I've searched all over for a fix and the ones I have seen (which are few) didn't work.

Ideas? I'm out of them...

Thanks

Go to settings/applications/all tab and find instagram. Clear the cache and data. Uninstall it and reboot your phone, then reinstall and see if that helps.

I've tried both clear data and clear cache. Each result in a restart of my phone.

Is there an option to disable it? If so, do that and then uninstall and reinstall it.

 

[Vipfreak]

No, and I tried using a disabling app. I guess I need to be rooted...?

The only activity I can do is move to sd card and then I was able to get to where it shows it uninstalling, but in the middle of it restarts.

Not good at all mate. May I suggest you contact the app developer, as this seems to be a common problem. Perhaps the developer will know of a fix we haven't thought of.

It's good now. Found a solution. Found an old version of the IG.APK and replaced it with the current one. I even re-updated to the newest version and it's working fine, sooooo... I dunno wtf it was. Thanks for the help.

Looks like it must have been a serious bug in the version you had mate.

Glad you got it sorted and thanks for letting us know.

I dunno what happened. The only thing I did was change the battery out to a backup one. It started restarting and eventually it turned out to just be Instagram. The other odd thing was FB got deleted. I'll probably try the battery again and see if it does it again. It's a genuine samsung note battery from Amazon.

Anyway, thanks again.
