I can't install apk files
When i try to install an .apk i can't click the install button. the Cancel button works fine. rebooted many times. tried other app installers from the market, they all take you to the screen where you click cancel or install. and I can't click install. so I can't side load install any apks. I've tried it on my internal memory and on my external sd card memory...no difference. I've tried many different apk files. ranging from icon packs to the new app market. They all do the same thing. The install button isn't grayed out....it just won't let me click on it.
On the Carbon Rom. Tried multiple versions of it and different kernels. I've wiped data, cache, d cache many times to no avail.
suggestions?

thanks, but that's already done and tried.
still no go
edit. I should have said in the OP that that was in place.
well it appears the problem was the app Glovebox.
With their latest update it will Pause the glovebox app....and then unpause once you've installed your app.
That is really scary that that app would be able to stop you from installing other apps.
JK please ignore.
I remember having the same issue with glove box when I used to use it. I am now having the same issue again and can't figure out which app is causing the issue.
Me too!

You mean the market was not installed? Or apps are failing? Give more details on what you need help with.

I'm not sure if the OP is a troll, or just stupid... How hard is it to give ACCURATE information on what you are trying to do.
Trolled. Perhaps.
Troll or not , I have had this issue when trying to update apps. I haven't really figured out what's causing apps not to load. I get "app not installed, no usb or SD card found".
Ill be vague just like the op. Here's what you do clear cache and defaults on the market.

Yeah, I've had the same problem, but usually just trying to update the app again works (at least, for me).

I get it when the download interrupts and the file is corrupted. So it can't install. I usually just redownload and its fine.
Try unmounting ur SD card, then installing. I had a problem awhile back with specific apps and that fixed it.

I am having the same problem and it is driving me insane. I have cleared cache in the market. I have rebooted, reflashed, reset to factory, Took out the SD card, put it back in, unmounted it, booted without it.
It doesn't matter what rom I flashed as I have tried several. I just restored my phone with CWM to a backup I made right after I first rooted and the market still doesn't work.
Are you rooted?? Its most likely a bad previous install that needs to be removed first which can be quite troubling because some show that they aren't installed when in actuality they are just not properly. IF YOU ARE ROOTED try using Titanium Backup Root to remove the bad install.

yeah, I am rooted. have been for a while. I have flashed and used several roms/ kernals etc. The thing is, even if I reset the phone to factory it still does it. I went into Titanium, what or how do I find a bad install?? Is there something to look for?

Possibly the ROM's included the app but have a bad install inside the ROM. I seen this issue with a couple apps specifically FLASH PLAYER. Which app are you having issues with?? When in Titanium Backup go to the Backup/Restore section and it should show all of your installed applications..scroll to see if the application you are trying to install is on the list...if so uninstall it. If this doesn't work its possible there is a previous apk file on your phone of this app which is corrupting the download which can be removed with an app like "ROOT EXPLORER" unfortunately it costs money. To do that you would venture into the system/app folder and delete the apk file if in fact there is one in there. To check to see if there is one most file explorers will allow you to go into these folders but you cannot access anything.

I have Root Explorer. Thanks. seems this is a common problem after searching google. No know solution as everyone has got theirs to work doing something different. I have not made any backups with Titanium as the roms I have used auto re-installed everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Any time I flash a rom now, it says "starting download" for all my apps in the market. They never start though.
it's working now. not sure what I did though. I wiped everything and flashed BAMF remix (what I was using originally) and when I went through the setup I did everything like I did before. Only thing I changed when swapping roms was I would not set up my HTC account in the setup.
I'm not rooted (yet!) and I've been having the same problem with the market for the last two days. Probably half the apps I bought/downloaded hung on authorizing. When finally authorized it took quite a while to download and show under my apps. One took almost an hour to show up. Email notifications were also delayed. Tried clearing the cache but that didn't help...

I flashed back to stock, then flashed AntonX bare bones + Swype. No problems for a few months. BUT THEN I powered down the phone and changed my battery like normal, to a battery I've used many times, but this time as the phone rebooted, nothing was installed and I got numerous "process failed" messages. So I downloaded aLogCat and I'll try to upload it here real quick.
What do you mean nothing was installed?
well there are 9 broken links to applications that worked just fine minutes before. i would have thought that it was a problem with my phone's connection to the sdcard if it was JUST those 9, but the following apps were on the phone memory and they don't work anymore either Webroot Security, Visual Voicemail, Facebook, Slacker Radio, YouTube, Titanium Backup, GoogleDrive, OfficeSuite, GoogleMaps, and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! lol
Interesting. There's some garble in that log that I've never seen before. lol
Have you tried fixing perms?

oh, i mean the app worked, but you know how when your phone is booting and as soon as your desktop shows up, you can click a game that you have installed on your memory card, but it just says "this app is not installed" or some crap. then you wait and the media scanner finishes scanning your device, then it finishes scanning your memory card, then you click the same icon and it opens your game right up? that's what i meant by "not installed". all the icons in my games folder are android icons, not the icons of each individual game.

OH YEAH. i guess i forgot to tell you all that step. i tried to fix it myself by booting to recovery and flashing the zips again (ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.1.3.zip THEN Swype-SGS4G-KJ6.zip) but this didn't help. although during the first zip's flash, i DID see it say "fixing permissions". then i swear my phone laughed at me and flipped me off!
If you already reflashed it it should have wiped cache/dalvik for you. Try this as a last ditch effort. Wipe cache/dalvik, wipe system. Reflash just the ROM without swype at first. Reboot. If it stops the FC's reboot recovery and flash the Swype zip. As long as you leave data alone you will have all your apps there. If that doesn't do it I'm out of ideas. Good luck
Oh and Swype beta 1.4 is much better then the older version. You should look into it if you like swype.
Swype has even changed the download process. No need to log in. Easy..

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" and it is running out of space. I uninstalled Netflix since I canceled the account and have no need for the app anymore, but I keep getting messages to update the app that I don't have any more! How do I get it to go away forever and stop bugging me?

Before you uninstalled, did you go into system>app find the Netflix app, force close it, then wipe data, then uninstall? If not that's most likely the issue. Have you tried wiping cache/dalvik?

I had no reason to think that I needed to do anything other than select "Uninstall" from the menu, so no. I don't think I ever used it on the device, so I had no reason to think there was any data to wipe. I have no idea what cache/dalvik is, where to find it, or how to "wipe" it, so no, I didn't try that, either.

Are you rooted? If not, re-download Netflix and follow the steps I laid out for uninstall. It makes sure there's no residual bits of info from the app. This is how I uninstall and never have these kinds of issues or deleted wakelock issues.

Since you indicated that you were running out of space, you could also check out SD Maid and use it to free up some space and perhaps clean up data from apps you might have uninstalled in the past. Improved results can be gained if you are rooted.

Hi guys!
Is there a way to remove the annoying notification of the 4.4.3 update?
I have no problems with the update itself, but I'm using a Custom ROM (CM11).
I've tried disabling notifications for Google Services Framework and com.lge.update and freezing com.lge.update with Titanium.
None of these worked...
Do you guys now a way to disable it?
Thanks in advance

I'm in the same boat... running CM11 M6. I got an error notification for the 4.4.3 update last night stating that it couldn't download (I'm assuming because of running CM). Today at lunch I was having problems with LTE connectivity so I rebooted and it worked then. Found out a few hours later that after I rebooted my phone used over 500MB of data even though I wasn't using it and my battery drained down quite a bit as well.
My cell provider shows I've used that much data but my phone doesn't. My guess is that it's trying to constantly download the update? Yet I can't find any way to turn this off.
Thanks for any help you guys can give!

Check /data/fota or /cache/fota for the downloaded update, rename folder (+otacerts.zip), reboot again. Fixed now? This method used to work. Maybe it no longer does.

Whatever file explorer you are using you may have to allow it to see "hidden files" or grant root access or possibly both.
I'm having the same issue as well, except I didn't download the update. I've tried renaming the cert to .bak, rebooted, and no go. Then I took the whole damn cert file and moved it to my downloads folder, cleared Google system framework data, and rebooted. It's been about 5 minutes with no pop up, but I'm not holding my breath.
I've also heard that changing a line in your build.prop tricks the updater into thinking you already have 4.4.3, but I don't what what it is that needs to be changed...

I don't even see these folders.
I have hidden files enabled in Solid Explorer :/
I've tried everything posted here, rebooted around 5 times, but it's still showing up.
Are you guys sure that otacerts.zip is responsible for the upfate message?
I even tried moving it into my download folder (after the .bak method doesn't worked), but I still have the notification...
Which is the system app, that searches for updates? I thought it's com.lge.update, but it seems that it's not.
We should try to freeze / uninstall that with Titanium. :/
You can also use ongoing system notification blocker to get rid of the update constantly being shown.
Thanks guys I got it. After renaming the above mentioned folder I cleared Google framework and the notification is gone.

I'm not sure why anyone has stated this and I realize that the problem has already been solved, but this can easily be fixed using Developer Options in CM11
1) Go to settings> about phone
2) Scroll all the way down to build number and repeatedly tap it until it says something along the lines of "You are now a developer"
3) Go back to settings then go to developer options
4) A little less than halfway down is an option called 'Development shortcut'. Tick that box
Now, you can get rid of any pesky notification that can't be swiped away. Simply tap and hold it, then select 'Force close'. This works with any apps running in the background by doing the same thing from the app switcher. Hope this helps!
I just cleared data on Google services framework and haven't had the notification popup yet. Have rebooted a couple times, so far so good. Been about 6hours.

A few days ago I accidentally got rid of it by tapping the download button for no reason (I'm on a custom ROM), then rebooting right after. Hasn't come up since LOL.
Dude,
That sucks! When I had my Galaxy S3...the update notification made me very mad. Did you try the the other way of doing it (mentioned in the earlier of this forum)?

Nope. It was actually something in android itself. Had to change the default app install location from Auto to Internal using the terminal. Since the nexus 5 doesnt have and external SD, apps cant be installed on it but sometimes androids "Auto" install location doesnt work and tries to install apps into the external sd card. Thats why the app installs fail.
