Hi guys
need some advice here.
I've been installing apk file from dropbox for testing purpose for few weeks. Occasionally I couldn't press the install button (on the install screen), but it resolved itself after few attempts.
However, it doesn't seem to work any more. I just can't press the install button, but OK for the Cancel button. I've tried restarting with/without pulling out the battery. It still doesn't work.
Have googled the issue, only able to find this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150096
But I don't have screen filter app installed, so that doesn't explain my issue.
Anyone have the same issue and know how to fix it?
Much appreciated.
Cheers
Tony
PS. Im installing from dropbox.
When you say you are installing from drop box I take it you are using the Drop Box app. If so I would just try to install by opening your favored file explorer app, mine is Astro File explorer. Anyway find it with the file explorer and then try to install it that way. Or you can uninstall the Drop Box app and then reinstall it. Maybe something has gone wrong with the app. Just a quick suggestion.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, Im using dropbox app. I've tried to copy the apk to my sd card and used appinstaller and astro to install it, still doesn't work.
I've also disable a screen brightness app Lux which I suspected have a similar bug to screen filter app, but still doesn't work ><

Might as well get it out of the way...you DO have allow installations from unknown sources checked right?
(Sometimes all you have to do is check to see if there are batteries in it, lol)

this is so weird!!!! It's used to work, but suddenly not!!!
Try installing seconds after a clean boot. I believe my problem was caused by the auto brightness app Lux.

OMG! It works, thanks.
I was suspecting Lux causing the problem, but I only disabled the app, didn't uninstall it. Once I've uninstall Lux, it just works!!
I wanted to let the developer know the problem, but I can't replicate it. Any idea what the causes?

Iff lux puts a full screen overlay up that is what causes the issue. I think it is security thing.
Some of my apps had the same issue.

Thanks for everyone replies. Problem resolved
Yeah it's a bug that you get with apps like Lux and Screen Filter. Somewhere within Lux there is a setting that lets you exclude certain apps and I think within the most recent build of the app it will automatically disable itself when you install an application
For what's it worth:
I've had the same issue when using JuiceDefender.
I've granted Juice Defender acces to controll the brightness of the screen, because the auto brightness control in my HTC One X is too bright.
This caused the same problem!
After disabling Juice Defender's auto brightness, the installation of app's works as usual.
Grtz,
Guys, me too got this problem since last week. Tried hard, unable to figure it out which app is causing the problem. Is there any ways to check the app?
Tried in many threads, but couldn't get it resolved. Fortunately you guys in the thread have some sort of reasons for root cause.
Please help me guys, this is screwing me up.

I am using a dialer app on my phone, but I really prefer the stock JB phone icon.
Is here any way for me to use this icon but associate it with a different dialer app?
Thanks.

Thanks. I actually have been searching around and saw all the sites you recommend. But thats not exactly what Im trying to achieve.
Im trying to find the stock phone icon and then assign it elsewhere.
I havent figured out how to identify that icon file on my android so that I can then switch it over to another app...

Hey,
I'm looking to increase the Haptic Vibration strength/length of the Honor 8 and have been at it for a few hours. If you anyone has any other ideas like Kernals, ROMs, Apps or Configs to modify please post your ideas any solution will do!
Thanks
i think gboard (preinstalled keyboard for me) has this setting build-in. so for typing letters u can adjust the length of vibration.
i use this. look screen.

Yeah gBoard does a great job letting you control vibration settings. But my main goal is to change the vibration intensity / length in ms of the navigation bar.
I'm pretty new to android but I was exploring root files and found sys/devices/virtual/timed_output/vibrator/ might be the right place to start looking into.
Maybe a current or an upcoming kernel will support vibration settings.
When I use kernel adiutor on my moto phone it has a setting to adjust the system vibration strength under misc menu
You can do it in the keyboard app (that's all I can think of)

Yeah I tried it out last night no such luck on changing the vibration strength. Getting to check another thing off the list that does not work is good though lol.

Thank god, hopefully I can find a way to change the system vibration strength. It's the only thing I don't like about this phone. :fingers-crossed:
Didn't RROS have a setting to change that? At the very least it has a very indepth customization menu for such things

Well if it is there then it's in that configuration menu of RROS. But i could be wrong, I'm not using it atm

Thanks but that didn't seem to work.
It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.
check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

i have been in beta for a while, so that may explain why it worked for me and not the poster in need of solution., maybe.
Thanks a lot guys
OT but
But does anyone know a way to lock screen ( like by double tap) without the power button and without any launcher or rooting.
Thanks

I think it's only possible with those 2 options you mentioned.
I'm using nova so that works

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
Would anyone who doesn't mind doing this decompile this app and see why it doesn't receive notifications correctly. They are always late. I used to do a little on here and have been out of the loop too long to know where to start. I appreciate it if you will and if not that's ok too. Yes I have all the proper settings disabled so there's should not be a delay. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated. Thanks.
