hi
I can't get straight answer for this problem.
Tablet won't let me install downloaded apk's even though I enabled to install apps from unknown sources in the Android settings. It opens up the install dialog but then I can't click on install - just cancel works.
any suggestions?
I did encounter before, It's likely 3rd party app that blocking it, screen filter or screen adjuster ever cause such issue, if you had them activated, try disable them or other 3rd party app and test if any of it is blocking.

all fix, thanks
it was screen filter
it works for me too...thanks a lot...
Running into this issue. The apps from the app store install no prob but "package Installer is not allowing the install button be pressed. Interestingly when I use a mouse with it I think I can click on it but not the touchscreen.
I don't see a screen filter app of sanything similarly named. Any suggestions on what I can look for...

Friends, Android user of 10 years. Never seen this issue, EVER. Came over from an Axon 7 yesterday. Here's the situation.
Mate 9 US Version B138
Not Rooted or altered AT ALL
Unknown sources is checked in Security
Developer Options enabled
No screen dimmer apps
Blue Eye filter disabled and enabled when this happened
Basically, when trying to install some apps via a File Manager, not the Play Store, some apps are installing like any other would, while others are not letting me click the "Next" button during the installation process. No errors, no other indicators of why? "Cancel" button works fine. While some other APKs even the "Next" button works and everything installs fine.
Like I said... I have never ever seen this weird issue before. The closest was when I had a non root blue light filter app on and the "Install" button wouldn't work, no errors, no other indicators.
Can someone please help? Have you seen this issue before?
Thanks!
Anyone? Thanks guys!

Touch screen sensitivity issue? It happens sometimes, sometimes I think my device is frozen because my tap is not registered several times in a row...

Thanks brother, but that wasn't it...
[SOLVED]
For anyone else who may face this issue, here's the solution:
It's similar to the screen dimmer/blue light filter issue. Basically, I was using a custom theme that was skinning the Package Installer. Somehow, the system must have seen this as "drawing" over the application and therefore disabled any app installations. That still does not explain why some APKs were installing, but this is good enough. The fix is to revert to stock theme and install your APK then.
Thanks to anyone that tried to help!
I had the same problem with a theme yesterday - went back to stock because of it. Kind of annoying

I hear ya bud! Even scarier, this issue is not documented anywhere, hope this post helps others! Have you seen this issue with EVERY theme?
Thanks for your input!
I have been having trouble finding themes I like - I like dark themes but then they look terrible in the email app (everything dark except the email body is colored or white which looks bad). Finally found the BWM black & white theme I liked and that had the installer problem. For now, back to stock.
Is it possible that those failed apps needed much more free space on your mobile?
This issue actually occurs if you have any screen filter apps installed in your device. Some apps that are known to cause the apk file installation problem include Twilight, Screen Adjuster, Easy Eye, Darker and Blue Light Filter.
In addition, any persistant overlay may prevent usage of the "install" or "next" button when installing an app from the SD card. Chat heads, floating battery stats, etc are all possible culprits.
This is a safety built into android to prevent an app from popping up an overlay over the required permissions list and showing a "safe" list of required permissions on top of the real list of persmissions that allow it to read your texts, pick your wallet, and root around in your underwear drawer.

Hey James, thanks for your thoughtful responses. No I definitely have a lot of space, and to your point, this problem is famously known with other phones and with the "Install" button. But two things make it unique:
1. Huawei calls their install button "Next" so this is hard to find a Google solution to.
2. I don't have any of those apps you mentioned, otherwise I would have solved that issue right away. The culprit here was a theme an .hwt file... So that's why I was struggling to find an answer...
Thanks again!

Another clue for your reference.
As I know, Huawei mate 8 has a feature which is some like those "Bluelight Filter for Eye Care" apps.
Settings - Display - SCREEN - Eye confort.
So, is there this stock blue light filter feature on your phone? If yes, is it possible that the issue resulted from this feature enabling?

Yes it exists in the Mate 9 James, and of course I disabled or turned it off... The problem was still there... It's the themes, some of them fool the system into thinking a screen drawing is enabled to it doesn't allow for installation. Strangely, my current custom theme is allowing for installation... :-\
I'm having similar issues. The apps I can't get to install are; Anything from Amazon App store underground app. mSecure app, and various others.
2nd: Phone will NOT pair with external Camera that I have...HTC Re-Cam, or LG 360 Camera.

I think I solved the issue today.
Using stock theme app, apply the stock EMUI theme. Reboot phone, than try to install applications.
My thoughts:... any non-stock theme being used/applied creates an overlay. So when the "next" button isn't responding (when the next button is at the top of install screen), it's cause the real button is located on the bottom right.

I think that the notifications that don't appear when screen off is caused by the restricted background data that lenovo has pre-checked. Just untick the option shown in the picture to allow background data for the application you want. Tell me if this will work for you

Also turn off battery optimization for this app.
Settings->power management->battery optimization and then choose all apps instead of not optimized, find the app you want and disable battery optimization

I have done this also :crying:. Upon re-opening Messenger while on data, it shows 'Waiting for Network' then 'Connected' and all the notifications come through. Ive also tried disabling Doze to no avail. Notifications work fine when on Wifi so not sure what the problem is, looks like a software design problem made by Lenovo. I might try Lineage in the future.
I find that when I return home and phone gets WiFi while pulling in drive I suddenly get Gmail notifications so seems mine is same.
The only way to fix notifications I've found that actually works is to disable doze via adb shell.
Sadly this fix needs to be reapplied every time you restart the phone making it a bandaid for a gunshot wound.
It feels like the OnePlus 3 all over again...
Install this app...
This app should work very well...

Try this.

You have to close the lock, see image in the link below.

I bought my Nex in China, and I already turned on the settings like autostart in iManager and settings like the emergency priority in Manage Status and Notification. However, a lot of times notifications for apps like Gmail still don't show up on time; they are delayed for anywhere between an hour to hours. Anyone know the solution? Really like the phone but am thinking about going back to OnePlus 5T stock android because of this (one time I even missed Google Voice incoming call, had to go into the app and refresh to know I got a call). Thanks!

maybe you need to whitelist your 3rd party apps for speedup. start first the app you want to whitelist, swipe from the left bottom up to get in the control center, there you see your apps. swipe the app down and you will see a lock, click on that and you whitelist your app for speedup. i include some pics. hope that help you solve your problem, the software is very terrible on this phone but i love it too much i can´t sell it.

I am having the same issue after following all these steps... I have also removed Imanager in adb shell. My notifications are still delayed. If anyone has found any other way to resolve the problem then please share...
i always had this problem....
I'm on Havok Rom, and I've got magisk installed, and it passes all safety checks and is hidden from google pay. Google pay works fine until i go to confirm the card details, then i get a pop up saying "looks like another app is blocking access to the wallet, Turn off any apps that might be drawing over the screen and try again"
I've disabled all apps from Displaying over other apps in the settings, but this error keeps popping up.
Does anyone know solution to this?
Did you find a solution to this? I am on stock and have the same issue.
I don't get the same error message, but I can't use my credit card with Google Pay anymore... I get the error message "Couldn't finish setup to pay in stores. This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way".
It is rooted. Of course it is.
I'm using a OnePlus 6 with the latest firmware. My Recovery or Kernel aren't modified. Google Pay is hidden in Magisk and passes the SafetyNet test.
What gives? Google increased it's root detection? Is it happening to someone else?
Thank you!

no solution found yet, even on a completely fresh ROM install with no apps other than Google it still gives me the same message.
I have the same problem with one banking app. Others work fine except one. Also on stock ROM

OK, I started thinking maybe this is something to do with the gesture area at the bottom of the screen, and I think I'm right as I have a solution that works (at least for me).
Go to Settings->Buttons & Gestures->Navigation Bar & Gestures
Under 'Choose Navigation Bar' select 'Back, Home, Recents'
Now go into 'Navigation Bar Customisation' and turn on 'Hide the navigation bar' - this will add an icon on the left of the nav bar allowing you to pin or unpin (autohide) it.
Now go back into the Google Pay app and start setting up your card. When you get to the point where the 'Continue' button is missing pin or unpin the navigation bar, depending on what state its in currently. The 'Continue' button will appear.
Doesn't work for me unfortunately, continue button has always been there but I can't click it in the confirming card details section due to the app drawing over the screen notification, and unfortunately removing the nav bar didn't change anything.

Had a similar issue. The only way I got it to work is go to settings: Apps -> Google Play Services ->Permissions -> Disable phone/telephone. Try again.
For me BLue light filter app was blocking the wallet to pay after recent update on wallet. By turning off filter app, wallet worked.
This is not working for me as well. Any possible fix? The fixes mentioned in the comments do not work for me. I have disabled drawing over apps for all apps
Possible solution
Make sure you arent using an app to dull your screen resolution. Turn it off in settings.
I don't know if this will work or not but I would suggest going through all of your apps yes I know it's probably a lot. Turning off the permission to draw over other apps one by one. Reboot your device and check to see if it's working

Try turning off smart pixels or any such thing
Try turning off battery saver. It worked for me.
Got the resolution
Just turn off the smart pixel if it's enabled
I found the solution guys. App notifications are the culprits here. You have to clear the notifications by dragging down the notification bar from top. It resolved the issue for me. Please try and comment.
The Problem I have also face, but I have resolved the issue by uninstalling the blue lite app, the screen will impact on the google pay and Irctc app
Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I am using Oneplus 5 with the crdroid pie based rom. For me the issue was fixed by turning off the smart pixels option in crdroid settings.
Developer options
The only thing that helped me was disabling developer options. I think Google Pay assumes that since the developer options are enable the device isn't safe.
Hope it helps.

I had the same issue on android. Turned out it was the facebook messenger app. Force close it in app settings and should work
When I use facial recognition to unlock and app, after my face is recognized, before I can go into the app, I get a screen that is showing a message: "Verified. Tap confirm to continue". I am trying to get rid of that message and avoid the unnecessary extra step to press the confirm button before I can access the app. I am told by an app manufactured that it is a setting on my Samsung S22 Ultra with Android 12. But I am coming from an old Pixel phone and cannot find this setting on my new 22Ultra. Can someone direct me to the setting to turn off that extra step after facial recognition works? Thanks!
Sounds like you've installed some 3rd party app that does this. The default S22 behaviour doesn't show this message.
I can see you asked on other fourms, and they suggested things I was going to say. But it seems like some third party app is either doing this, or enforcing it.

Yes I posted on another forum but no solution there yet, just a few good suggestions that don't work. I don't have any other apps that enforce this behavior though. And I pressed support at RoboForm pretty hard about it and they insist it is not something in their app even though RoboForm is an app that it happens in. I am thinking it is when certain 3rd party apps are opened using face recognition, the Android system does not acknowledge those apps for some reason and pops up the message to do a 2nd confirmation before it will allow the apps to open. Thanks for the reply.
Have you tried unistalling Roboform to test if that fixes it?
I have found a few other apps that call up the exact same message so it is not just Roboform. I did uninstall and reinstall Roboform today for another reason and called up a health record app that does the same thing. It happened in the health app even with Roboform uninstalled.
I think we have determined that it is a system message. An app may call it up or trigger it when using face recognition but it is not generated by the app itself. If we knew what it was called then it would be easier to track it down. within Android or the Samsung settings. if it is even in the settings somewhere.
Yea, it's likely going to be a system message, that is called by certain apps in certain circumstances. But the only way you'll find it is to remove apps a few at a time until it stops appearing.
I get the same message and have looked everywhere for a setting. It doesn't exist. Pretty stupid behavior for sure.
Is there a solution? I have the same thing with Microsoft apps. So stupid..
Try: Settings, Biometrics and Security, Face Recognition, And untick: Stay on lockscreen until swipe.
For me, double tapping the screen or using the power button to wake the phone, triggers the face unlock which then quickly unlocks the phone with no other input.
Is this just one app, or all apps?
