Rooted but full stock, every time I turn off or reboot my phone I have to go into the app settings / play store and enable google wallet again.
I think I had to do this when I first turned on my phone as well.
I am in Canada << could that be why?
It keeps all the info and login, but disables itself... annoying!
Thoughts?
Just saw there was a new update tody and manually downloaded / updated the wallet app (http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-even-those-running-unofficial-kitkat-builds/)
This fixed the issue. Go figure.

I just bought the Atrix 2 few days back and I notice that after the phone has been started for a while, and I restart my phone, the APK cannot be installed anymore.
Model: MB865
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-g313792c
Build Number: 5.5.1-EDEM-27
Details below:
1st Attempt:
- Bought the phone and transferred my SD card with my previous phone apps backup in APK.
- Did the initial phone setup by tagging the phone to my google account, went into Google Market to install a battery status apps, surf some web, etc.
- Restart the phone and when the phone turns back on, tried select the APK file, enable the "Allow install of non-Market applications" and continue with the apk installation. It came out the permission page with [INSTALL] & [CANCEL] button at the bottom. Tried touching the [INSTALL] but no response. It's like a dummy button. Then [CANCEL] will exit the permission page.
- Tried other apps in APK, same issue.
- Called Motorola support line and she asked me to Factory Data Reset my phone from the Privacy in the Setting page.
2nd Attempt:
- Initial setup my phone as per usual by tagging the phone to my google account. Once the phone started, immediately, I use the file manager to browse my APK backup folder and install some apps with no issue. The [INSTALL] button can be clicked and apps installed properly.
- Use the phone for a while, restart the phone and turn back on... tried install other APK again... same issue happened, the [INSTALL] button became a dummy button again.
- Factory Data Reset my phone from the Privacy in the Setting page again to try again.
3rd Attempt:
- Suspect that it may be automatically downloading some apps from the google store, so this time round, I just turn on the phone without tagging to any of my account, not even my google account so that the phone should not automatically download apps from the market that may clashed with the system.
- Use the phone to do basic web surfing for a while, and then restart the phone.
- Phone restarted and try to install APK files, same issue happened again.
With the above tries, I suspected the issue (APK cannot be installed because [INSTALL] button cannot be clicked) is not due to any apps conflicting the system, but maybe some hidden updates download from google unknowingly that is incompatible to the Android system.
Further findings shows that my bro has a Atrix 1 and I asked him to restart his phone to try install some APKs, same issue with [INSTALL] button.
My 2 other friends has a LG Optimus One and LG Optimus Black, both running Android as well. I asked both to restart their phone and try to install some APKs, and everything works fine.
I seriously think that there are some conflict with the some google "hidden" update, maybe Play Google?, that disabled the [INSTALL] button as initially when phone factory resetted is ok. If this is the case, no point to go down Motorola repair centre as they cannot do anything as well until new updates from Motorola available.
Will anyone with Atrix 1 or Atrix 2 phones kindly check if you have such issue? Restart your phone 1st if the initial attempt is working as the update may activate only after the phone is restarted, such as the icon changing Google Market to Play Google, that disable the [INSTALL] button when installing APKs.
Let me know if you have a non-rooted solution, ok? Do not intend to root my phone yet. Thank you.
Have you install screen adjuster??

Hmmm. I think this may be somethign to do with your service area, not the devices. My phone has the Google Play update and installs APK files just fine. I've done multiple reboots to try and replicate your issue and can't. But the fact that you say it happens on your Atrix 2 AND your brother's Atrix 4G makes me think something in your area is giving you a corrupted update. Don't know if that could be the case for sure, as I'm not an AT&T or Motorola employee, but for two different devices with two different chipsets to have the same issue, I'd think it's a corrupt download.
Its happened to my A2 as well. I got frustrated w/ it so i rebooted into recovery, wiped data & cache. Problem solved for me.

I had the same problem on my Atrix 2.
The following appears to have fixed it for me:
1) go to Settings->Applications
2) uncheck "Unknown Sources"
3) try to install (you'll get an error)
4) go back and recheck "Unknown Sources"
5) try to install again
The "Install" button now works, and keeps working.
this works

I have troubled with the same priblem and after read this post i tried to close screen adjuster and it works .. thank you
Screen Filter app also generates this problem
Thanks for this thread. I found screen filter also has the same effect. So, before installing any apk, just close screen filter if active and then install. Works without any problem.
If you have screen filter installed then plz disabled it and try to install.

Same problem with At&T Note 2
I've been reading all the "solutions" to the dead INSTALL button and I don't have any screen filters installed. I did get the "Unknown Source" installation to work once after I froze the Google Account Manager app. Unfortunately it only worked once. I've done all the "basics" over and over.

Go to settings apps then look under the all apps tab and find google play, click on that, then force stop, clear data, and remove updates.
Next go back and launch the google play store again and link it to your goolge account when it asks you to. Also of course agree to the terms and let google play update again. Now try and see if that fixes this a little more permanently for you. I had this issue back in GB when the google play store updated to version 3 and changed to the google play store from google apps and this worked for me.
Thank you jimbridgman. That didn't seem to be a permanent solution, although I may have done something wrong. This is what worked for me:
It appears that many apps have something to do with screen "filtering" or sensitivity that can cause this problem. After going through many of my apps and "freezing" them I came upon Gesture Launcher. Freezing that has solved my problem, at least for now. My fingers are crossed. I'm posting this to help others if they may have the same problem.
Once again thanks for helping and if my problem reoccurs I'll try your solution again.
LOL it happened to me today. the culprit is screen adjuster app.! Disabled it and I could install!
N5 KK4.4.3 / Stock ROM & Stock kernel / Rooted (SupeSU 1.94) / PhilzTouch6 6.15.4 custom recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7)
Play Store build v 4.8.20. / Play Services 4.4.52 (1174655-038)
Play Store appears to work fine in all tested facets except for manually updating Play Store apps.
When choosing to update apps which Play Store indicates need updating, the download process appears to initiate, but nothing more. After I accept permission changes (if any) "Download..." appears in the Play Store app and on notification bar, (the blue horizontal scrolling download bar just continuously scrolls) but none of the apps appear to download even one byte. This happens if I choose "update all" or update an app individually. (connected via StraightTalk data connection, as wifi not available at my current location). Same issue in Safe mode.
I can buy/listen music via Play Store, browse the web with Chrome, download Google Mail. I cleared Play Store app cache. Never observed this behavior in 4.4.2 (but unsure if I previously attempted to manually update Play Store apps after install of 4.4.3).
What might be the best practice troubleshooting tips to apply in this scenario?
Updated with 444 OTA and issue continues.
thats not an android specific problem..its more a playstore problem..ive have encountered this a least once with every single android phone i've own dated back to the OLD Motorola DROID days its basicallly hanging cuz its not "receiving" data connection. whether wifi or cellular. a remedy that i've learned is to look for the current app that is "downloading" and cancel the download.and it should move on to the next one and start downloading again. works everytime for me.

Yes, tried that. And as stated attempted to update apps individually.
Found that I could update via wifi. But not via StraightTalk data connection. Previously did not have issues updating via StraightTalk. So have to research this issue.

I can still download updates via wi-fi connection but no longer able to download Play Store manual updates when connected to StraightTalk data connection. Up to about three weeks ago I was able to download updates via StraightTalk, but no longer. When connected to StraightTalk I still receive notifications app updates are available but they will not download, either individually or selected as a group ('update all'). When update is selected, the Play Store shows a download notification for a few seconds and continuously displays "downloading..." on the apps page but nothing else.
Still unable to figure this out. Everything else is working fine. Just not able to download app updates from PlayStore when connected to StraightTalk (AT&T) data connection. Downloading updates via wifi works fine. But I'm almost always in an area without wifi access.
UPDATE: I allowed the update download attempt continue for ten minutes or so, and an error notification finally shows up:
"Error
Update for "whatever app" could not be downloaded due to an error. (495)"
Googled "could not be downloaded due to an error (495)" and found some possibilities I need to research.

Discovered that was a generic error message.
But found a solution. In Settings > Data Usage > Mobile > Media > 'Restrict background data' was checked.
Guess I won't do that again
So my next question is how to set Google Play to NOT check for updates.
I know how to disable auto updates, but I'd like the phone to also not check for updates. I rather do that on my own.
I know this has been asked before, but nothing seems to work. Google play simply refuses to download or update any apps, it says downloading, and the downloading progress bar shows in the notification panel, but the percentage does not come up and no matter how long I wait, it doesn't finish. This is on my mother's Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini, 4.2.2, and unfortunately not rooted (unfortunately meaning I feel the problem would probably be easier to fix with root, haha). It works fine on WiFi, I have even tried to "jump start" it by starting an app download with WiFi, then quickly switching to mobile. I've cleared play data, cache, uninstalled updates, stopped/cleared data for download manager, same with play services + uninstalled updates, forced my current versions of google play and play services onto her phone to ensure she would have the latest version, removed and readded her Google account, tried other apps, restarted the phone multiple times during the uninstallations and clearing data, toggled airplane mode, booted the phone without data after wiping Play data and cache and starting it FIRST with WiFi, then switching to data, hit update/install with airplane mode on to force error 923 (mainly to see if errors could still be triggered, or if the downloading bar would continue to attempt downloading), tried a different Google account, force killed download manager while a download was pending for Google play + relaunched Google play.... I've tried everything I can think of except for a factory reset, which is ridiculously stupid if that's the only solution.
Edit: Things got interesting. As a process of elimination, I used Chrome to download a random image online. Same as Google Play, the downloading bar and arrow showed up, but will not download. Seems the problem lies deeper within the download manager.... on a nonrooted android, what are my choices to fix this?
Edit (again): Finally got download manager to download things online, but google play store seems to "lock it up", meaning when I try to install on the play store, the installation never actually finishes, and afterwards download manager will no longer work online for random images and files. It's as if something is stuck.

Try the following:
Update your phone's firmware.
Update Playstore.
Try clearing cache using Recovery Mode.
Use 3rd party app.
Try updating using a specific custom ROM for your device.
If all else failed. Try Formatting.

Thanks for the tips! I'll give them a go tomorrow
Stuck at : Download Pending in Playstore, the solution is an annoying one restart the phone. Not seen this before but on the One Plus 7 Pro 9.5.3 and 9.5.4 this happens regularly, one should not need to restart to finish updating apps. I've tried the common kill the Play store clear cache sane with google services, without success, same for using Airplane mode. The only solution seems to be to restart.
Yes I finished the setup and have two different google accounts added,

Hello everyone, i line in the UK and had call screening working and then one day it decided to deactivate and now it refuses to activate again. I can't figure out how to fix it or get it to activate. I'm in a supported country on a supported device. I am rooted but didn't think that would have anything to do with it but I used magisk to hide your from the phone app as well. Any tips would be grateful.
This happened to me once...
What I did was I force stopped, clear cache, & clear data.
If that didn't help, I uninstall updates. Then I updated from the Play Store. But when I did this, it was on Android 11 and stock phone app didn't initially have call screener. I imagine the Pixel 7's have it on the stock phone app, but doing this still might reset things and re-activate it.
Note: If it wasn't immediately available -- it didn't show the option of "Spam and Call Screen" -- it did take a while for it to somehow activate. Within the hour it all of a sudden popped up an alert when I opened the phone app spouting the feature. It might be that it takes activating through Google or your carrier somehow before it's enabled and displayed on the app. Then, again, this was on my Pixel 5 A11, so Call Screen isn't natively available off the bat -- so I imagine it would show up right away after uninstall updates and/or updating it from the Play Store.
If that isn't enough, you might consider clearing the cache & data from Play Services and Google Play Framework maybe....
Good luck and hope this helps...
