Two thoughts:
When you uninstalled and reinstalled, did you restart your device from Settings->System or Settings->System->Power (as appropriate) after the uninstall and before the reinstall?
Is the model number of your device displayed under Settings->System->About 4400? If so, it no longer receives updates. I wonder if that has something to do with the problem.
