No matter what I try to do, I can't seem to get my Nexus 4 to download things remotely from the install button on the Play Store website. It does it fine for the Nexus 7, but not for my phone.
I choose my phone, click install and the button changes to installed, but nothing happens on my phone. What could be causing this?

I have the latest Cyanogenmod. It has never been a problem before now with any other versions. It seems as if the Play Store knows the device exists since it is in the list when I choose to install something. The phone also receives push notifications from PushBullet and Google Voice.

It seems that when I did the most recent update a few months back when I wiped the phone is when it started. I wiped the phone again I believe after that and re-flashed the ROM.

Still doesn't work. I noticed also, in the drop down list for my Nexus 4, it says the last date used is 'undefined.'
I also don't seem to see it in the new Android Device Manager. Only my Nexus 7.
Not sure

This is the error I'm getting when trying to install some apks. A lot of others worked but some just won't. It's a new phone and a fresh ROM. Why is this happening? What do I do about it?

One of the apps which did it was Battery Widget Reborn. I initially tried installing it via .apk and got the error. Then the same app normally installed via Play store.

Did you enable allow apps from unknown sources? Sideloading is disallowed by default.

The same app installed from Play Store, works. What do you mean by setting the permissions?

Not trying to be snarky, but what good is a smartphone without internet access? Sounds like a $400 paperweight. Are you running a virus scanner that could possibly be blocking sideloading?

I'm having a similar issue. I've been using a slingplayer app that I downloaded over two years ago. I had it working on my Nexus 5 until I switched to ART. After the switch it wouldn't install. I switched back to Dalvik and now it won't reinstall. I can and have installed every other apk on my phone with no problem since switching back except for this one. Any suggestions?

Tried that and it didn't work, but...
PROBLEM SOLVED! What I did was to do a thorough search inside my root to find anything related to the app I was trying to install. I found out that the app has somewhat partially installed in few places. I then deleted all of those and tried installing again. Worked.

I also tried switching between Dalvik and ART but it didn't seem to change anything. I suggest you search your root for any remnants of the app you want to install. Look in data/app, data/app-lib, data/data and system/app.
Hey folks:
I use MyBackupPro as my maintenance tool. Upgrading to my N5 from my N4 MyBackupPro overwrote the stock launcher, causing OK Google to stop working.
Is there any way to get NOWs listener working again without doing a factory reset and/or installing the Factory Image?
I'm stock, and not rooted.
Thanks.

You didn't tell us which 4.4 version you have, but these links will help you man. I recommend trying the first link first and if it don't work, try the second link( I'm sure the first one will work).

Yeah, HOME only shows in settings/apps NOT in root settings. Therefore that selection isn't available.

Hi guys. I just updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop 2 days ago, and this message keeps showing every once in a while, without any reason, it just appears for few seconds and disappears again, and then it shows up later again. It's not affecting my phone in any way, but it's bothering me. Can anyone explain what it means? I would appreciate it.
Regards.

It's basically developer speak for "Lollipop sucks and was rushed to market. Please revert to 4.4.4."
It is from some app u have installed.
Check for recently installed/ updated apps to find the root cause
Or try booting in safe mode and see..

I installed a lot of apps at the same time, so I don't know.

Just install it ? It installed fine on my Nexus 5.
Try this...
You might need to change your tablet's security settings before the download will work.
Go to "Settings" and then "Security", and check the box that says "Unknown Sources" (or leave it checked if it's already checked).
Then use the internet browser on your nexus to go to the site you posted with the link to download, and click download.
Wait for the download to finish, it should notify you in your notifications bar when it's done. Then tap the notification to open the file, and it should walk you through the installation from there.
Hope that helps!

Sometimes if you buy a cheap tablet from China it's a clone device and doesn't have the Google certificate that makes it come with Play Store and other Google apps already installed. Or if it was second hand, the previous owner could have rooted it, and you'd need to download the Play Store APK file to get it on there.
FWIW, the latest version just came out a few days ago, Play Store APK 5.7.10

Mine works fine with whatsapp, seems strange he would have a problem, the only time I have ever seen an issue with installing apps is when you already have it installed and trying to install an apk (even if it is a new version)
You could try under security enabling Unknown sources and see if that works.

There is about 100 reasons it won't install from the play store. Anything from no storage, to a corrupt download, to an issue with the data partition.
These things happen, but with no further information from the OP went do anything to help.
