Hey guys/gals. My girlfriend just had her strat replaced bc it wouldn't charge, and it keep rebooting. Overall not very happy with the performance of this device I wish she could just get something better. Well after I set up her replacement I began loading some apps when I realized her Google play store is still the old android market style. So most of her apps can't be downloaded. Like instagram. Usually it just updates by itself so I really don't know what to do to force it to update.. Any help would be very much appreciated. :D

Thank you all - Chris
 
It has only been up and running for a few hours. I took the battery out and let it sit. no dice... if it doesnt update by sometime tomorrow ill do a factory reset and see if that does the trick. i was thinking that but i figured i wouldnt have to since it was new but who knows. ill give it a shot and post back tomorrow. thanks
