I recently upgraded from the 10 to the 11, however I have one app that refuses to install - the SVS subwoofer app.
It's a standard app from the store and no reason for it to be a problem. I get a '505' error when installing from the store, and even if I try and download and install the APK separately, i get a 'App not installed - the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name'.
I've tried all the 'fixes' for this error, and even completed a full reset but it makes no difference. The app installs on my old 10 fine.
Any suggestions?
Cannot be of much help, but I tried to install it and got same error.
Try contacting SVS support.

Thanks - that's helpful actually, as it shows its not just my phone!
Edited to add: SVS are aware and are working on a fix.

I just installed the Calkulin v1.1 ROM & 2.6.32.33 pershoot kernel and am loving the combination so far, but I have two issues and I'm wondering if others are seeing the same things.
The Tweetdeck app will force close every time I click on a tweet to reply, click on URL, etc. I initially saw this after restoring from a Titanium Backup, but after reformatting/reflashing, I'm still seeing the behavior after a fresh install of the app. Any idea what might be happening here? Other twitter applications are working fine, but Tweetdeck is by far my favorite.
Secondly, I'd like to get Launcher Pro Plus installed but I can't figure out how to get the Launcher Pro free version uninstalled first. I tried dropping the .apk into /system/app but that didn't work, and ultimately led to the reformatting/reflashing I mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Other than these two nags, I love the ROM. It's definitely the snappiest of any I've tried so far.
Did you try using home switcher to get launcher pro active after install?
you shouldn't need to unistall launcher pro if you have the paid version, just either restore the backup you did of it before you flashed the Caulkin ROM or go into the settings and unlock it with the code they gave you.
The package installer returns an 'Application Not Installed' message when I attempt to install.
I assume this occurs because the full version can't install alongside the free version?

it's Probably due to the fact that it's in the system partition instead of the data/app folder but you should be able to activate it anyway

there aren't two different versions of launcher pro, just one. you have to unlock it in order to use all the features. just reflash the ROM and go to the settings for launcher pro and unlock it with the code you should have paid to get.
Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.
Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.
Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.
I use Facebook for work as we have fan pages. I use Facebook pages manager to manage them. I never had Facebook downloaded on the z5(work phone). I received a notice in play store that pages manager had an Update available. That's when I started receiving the 505 error code when trying to update the pages manager. Then I uninstalled the pages manager and tried to reinstall and now it won't install at all keeps giving me the 505 code. I read online where they say to remove the Google account and then add the Google account back,clear cache and data etc.... and if that doesn't work of course reset your phone. I'm not going to reset my phone because I will lose too many important chats with in different applications on the phone.
Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Update: the only apps that won't update are Facebook,f.b.pages manager,and now f.b.messenger....I'm not a Facebook fan,but need them for work.
This is an unlocked phone bought from Sony in Thailand. Model E6653, build# 32.3.A.0.376

if you are rooted and have sony ric disabled then install playstore again using lucky patched, but first go to settings apps find google play store and wipe everything from that app.
EDIT : Best thing is to use titanium backup(you have to be rooted) and backup every app that you have important chats on, and then do full wipe(excluding /system).
Full stock z5
I'm not rooted. I'm also using a Huawei mate 9 with 7.0 and having no problem with Facebook apps. Thanks.

Is the problem only with page manager or with other apps, if only page manager simply download page manager apk from apkmirror and install it and that's it.
Only Facebook apps are effected.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to installing apk,roots etc...

Apkmirror is source of official apks so it is same thing like if you download from playstore.
So I need to download from unknown sources? Check that option in security section?

Open this :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebo...manager-102-0-0-15-67-2-android-apk-download/
press download apk, then go to:
Settings Security enable unknown sources and then install this apk, just press on it in notification area, after installing disable unknown sources if you want and that's it.
Even though I get a warning message saying it can harm my device?
Thanks for your help.

Ignore it, i use apkmirror for years and never had any problems with any apk.
It downloaded,but I can't locate it. It's not in my app drawer or on any home screen.....
I went to my down load section,and tried to click it,but it says can not because it conflicts with existing package. So I know it's in the phone,but how do I access it...?.....
File Commander or any other file manager and locate Downloads folder and there it is.
When I try to download
Here is the screen shot
It won't open......

Well you have to uninstall existing page manager to install new.

I did. I deleted any file that had the word Facebook in it from file manager too. I even went into Google play store under all apps and deleted it from there also.
It's so strange how it only FB,FB messenger,and the page manager
Well this is a bug. I experienced this problem after upgrading to Nougat from Marshmallow using flashtool. Sideloading (apk) won't work. Do a factory reset, that's the only fix.
It's just too much trouble factory resetting. I'll just have to use my other device.
Thanks guys.
you have to do a clean install not update..
Hi guys,
I have been trying to install the latest release of Xperia Home (11.0.A.0.1) from apkmirror but I'm getting an error:
App not installed.
The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name.
I've done some digging and found the same issue with the Samsungs. AllSmokeEm provided a solution (toggling secure startup settings) but I don't believe we have this option in Sonys.
I have a sneaky feeling that it has to do with the last security patch I've installed a few days ago (41.2.A.7.65), because I never had this issue before!
Thanks for the help.

I am using the latest update, the one you tried. I didn't have any problem upon installing it since I am a beta user so I get it from Update Center. I suggest you subscribe to the Xperia™ Home Open Beta community in Google+ to get updated. But if you don't like but still want to install the laest home, I see that there are two 11.0.A.0.1 files in apkmirror. Try the other one, you might be able to install it.

See the screenshot. If you downloaded the first one, try the second one or vice versa.

Thank you very much for the help, it worked! I'll have a look in the beta community.
Thanks again.
Dear Friend. I had the same issue. The solution comes with root: Go to /system/priv-app/home-sonyericsson-release and rename the apk that exist in folder, copy the downloaded home and put the same name that original ones. Give the permission 755 ( -rwxr-xr-x ) and just to void some error perform the cache clean from the app . Search for "tela inicial Xperia" ( "initial Screen Xperia" or something like this ). After that, restart the device. Now you are using the last home version with no app drawer icon!
Package name conflict
I have a problem on my sony xperia x ..
I can't install facebook it say " the package conflict with an existing package by the same name" ... I delete facebook apk because it's not working ..
I'm try to install in google play but install problem. I check on my phone there is no facebook apk i can't to clear chache , or data because i check on my setting>> app i'm not found a facebook but why it say" the package conflict with an existing package by the same name" i hope someone can help me . Thank you.
I'm trying to update AdAway and BitSlide but both have been banned from the Play Store and/or are not available with their current versions anywhere but their own github or source sites. When I try to install them, I get a very vague and unhelpful error for "application not installed" which doesn't tell me anything.
I've tried force closing them, freezing in TiBackup and using an APK installer app from the Play Store, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? Googling this extensively and looking around on XDA, Reddit, etc. haven't helped.
Solution: After trying to load via ADB it provided a much more useful error for me to troubleshoot "signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!" which obviously meant I had signature mismatches on the apps I was trying to install. I simply uninstalled them and then was able to re-install new versions via ADB or natively on the phone (either install method worked). Simple fix!

I believe your thread shouldn't be ignored as it can be of great help to unexperienced members. As such that you for the explanation and hint, and that you tagged your thread as "solved".
