Error 504 is a Gateway timeout error, ie the two ends are not talking to each other fast enough.

Sounds like you are only downloaded part of app that you are installing and a timeout is occurring when it goes looking for the rest.

I'd be trying to install it from a different site, if I could find one.

Googling hits a lot of fix ideas.

Go to Settings >> Apps >> All >> Tap on “Google Play Store”
Tap “Force Stop” and “Clear Data”

I did what you said when I press install this comes up. This app will be installed on your device soon. I don't get it. Never ever had this problem downloading messenger before. It installed on my phone no problem.

Thankyou

All volunteer here. So no donations. Did you get the problem solved? If so, of course you can put it back in your SD card.

I have to ask. Did you try that tip where you put the tablet into airplane mode, then shut it off? I'm assuming that resets the internet connections.
