Can't install apps using Galaxy Apps - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've been trying to install The Economist and LastPass on my new little S6, but just about nothing happens when I hit install. Restarted and cleared cache to no avail. What gives?
Have you guys had any luck?
Also, anyone with insight as to the LastPass promotion? I've read that you get between 3-6 months of free premium...

I have a S6 running 5.1.1, and I am having a similar problem. Whenever I try to install an app from galaxy apps, it downloads, but gets stuck on 'installing', and the app never installs. I have tried clearing the cache and data from my galaxy apps app, and then performing a reboot, but it is still the same? Anyone else having the same problem?

Are your S6's with or without a simlock?
I have a S6 without a simlock and it works just fine.

My phone is sim unlocked.
I am also having a problem with Skype. I can recieve calls, but I can't make calls. Whenever I try to call someone Skype to Skype, it just says 'connecting' all the time, and then just hangs after a minute or so?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Y Google Play Issue

I've had a good hunt around both the xda forums, and the internet, hoping I could solve this problem without troubling anyone else, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Y running 2.3.6 and rooted. I was recently having some issues where I'd get an alert saying "Insufficient Internal Memory", I cleared just about every app out, and was still getting the error, so, in a last ditch effort, did a factory reset. The reset went fine, but for one problem.
The Google Marketplace app wouldn't update to Google Play, and I was unable to download or update apps. After trying all the usual solutions, such as clearing the cache and simply waiting, I got a friend to upload the .apk for their Play Store, which was the latest version and running without an issue. I then installed this .apk, rebooted, and found that the app had technically installed, but the icon was completely blank, the only evidence of it was in Settings>Apps. After three reboots it eventually showed an icon for the Play Store in my app drawer. However when tap it, it starts to open, freezes, quickly flashes an error message, and then closes. The error message isn't on screen long enough to read, but I think I can get the words "Sorry!" and "Procedure".
I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Anyone out there who knows the ins and outs of Android better than me, have any idea?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
What do u really need update to Google play from market?
I always uninstall the update of market to play,. Market is better...
So let mobile on its own upload the martket,dont do manually if u need play...
Then it may be solved,i think...

[Q] Facebook Messenger Problems on Nexus 5

I have been having some troubles with Facebook Messenger on my Nexus 5. It has been the same problem since I got the phone in January. When I try to log in to the app, it comes up with the message "Something went wrong, please try again".
After doing some research, I found that taking out the SIM card or putting the device into Airplane mode let you log in.
However, when the device is taken off Airplane mode or the SIM card is put back in, that's when the real problems start. When I pull down to refresh the messages manually, it comes up with "Something went wrong".
I also can't receive any pictures in my messages.
Voice calls also don't work. It doesn't seem like every Nexus 5 has this problem, as it works for some people. I've also seen some Nexus 4 owners having the same problem. I've tried it on both Dalvik & ART, tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing the data and cache and even a factory reset. Nothing's changed. The only thing that I can think of that is causing the problems are differences between international, carrier and U.S. versions of the phone. Does anyone else have this problem, or has a fix to the problem? If you can, state the specs of your device, e.g. 32GB carrier. I'm using a 16GB International version.
Thanks guys.

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy S7: Restarting even after factory reset

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, which I bought 6 months ago unlocked(new) and using T-mobile sim. For the past few weeks, I am having issue with the phone getting restarted too often and usually hanging on the Samung logo.
First this happened when not using Wifi and using mobile data plan. I came to the conclusion on that because it happens whenever I try to open a webpage or internet using app on mobile data. But when on a Wifi network, it doens't restart. After going through some forums, I did clear cache initially and later to a point to do a factory reset.
But the issue has not yet gone. This week, the restart is too often. I don't have any other app installed on the phone other than Whatsapp now. Last day, the restart happen when trying to send a video through that app (photo's send fine)and it keeps restarting.
Yesterday. I tried to download a anti-virus software and cleanup software(good one with trusted ) and when trying to open it, again got restarted. Now I think its something related to memory issue. Maybe that's why it restarted when sending video, as it has to compress the video before sending.
Has anyone faced this issue?
Is there a fix for this?
What can I do to make sure, it doesn't happen again?
Hi there and welcome to Assist,
That antivirus does nothing on your device, only consume more power.
Try to re-flash stock firmware and see if restarting is stoped.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.

Sim not recognized, incallui.apk crashes when trying to make a call.

Hey guys,
I have a BLN-L21 (L21C431B367 to be more precise) rooted with some xposed mods. Anyways...
I was playing with some Tasker features, specifically with Whatstasker plugin (a plugin that gives Whatsapp the ability to autoreply, etc.) and Whatsapp started to crash. So I uninstalled the plugin, still the same problem, I uninstalled Tasker, nothing... Then I noticed that the SMS app was also crashing, I tried to install different apps and all of them were crashing. Even FB Messenger was crashing when trying to send an SMS through it. And the Dialer app was also crashing.
I tried several times to reboot the phone. I wiped dalvik/cache on TWRP recovery. Now I noticed that my sim card is not being recognized, but I can't use mobile data nor make calls, even emergency calls. The apps aren't crashing anymore, but when I try to make a call (through different Dialer/Phone apps) the InCallUI.apk appears for less than a second and nothing is done. I tried to reinstall the app in /system/priv-app/InCallUI but nope.
If someone can help me solve this without having to reinstall the whole firmware I would be really really grateful!
Thanks in advance! XDA is the best!

Op 7 pro tmo

First this is a rant, and I have seen multiple threads with some of the same problems.
1. Day one (right after unboxing) when I first powered on the device, I could not hear the other person on the phone. I tried calling multiple times, I even called on facebook messenger, they could hear me, but I could not hear them. The only way for me to get around this was to reboot my phone. This went away for a little bit, but has been happening again and again more frequently now.
2. BT will randomly switch from headset/stereo to phone speaker without any warning. Just a simple swap from talking to someone over BT and then thinking they hung up or disconnected, only finding out that it decided to swap from BT to phone. Incredibly annoying, and I have even lost some business calls from it.
3. Stock messaging app does not work. It wont send or receive messages. I have to use another 3rd party app to send and receive my text.
4. I am constantly getting notifications that there is a problem with getting my voicemails. Now I lose calls due to the BT failure, and now I do not get the voicemails when they try to all back.
5. Apps will not install. It will download them but it freezes at the install portion, I have tried clearing everything-cache and what not, and only way to get around this is to reboot the phone again. really annoying when I want to install an app, I have to reboot my phone. Although I have had the same problems with my Note 8, So it is most likely a google issue.
Any one have any ideas on these? I am going to try and talk with TMO but odds are they will tell me to do a system reset.
Thanks.
Have you tried reflashing stock and a factory reset?
I would also suggest the factory reset.
However, I have been having issues with the play store this evening installing apps just as you mentioned. Cleared the cache and rebooted, everything installed fine then.
