Having an issue trying to install new apps from Market place. When I finish downloading an app, and its trying to install I get an error saying that "installation unsuccessful" I try 5 different apps and all getting the same error...... I reboot my TF and also clear data and cache, and I am still getting this error. I have about 500MB left on my drive. No root and on the latest firmware. I was able to install couple of days ago.........Android is pissing me off.
This was something else i experienced with low space. I think its becausw the partition is full. try deleting a big app like google earth

Even tho I have 500MB left? Actually I was trying to download google earth and it was giving me that error. Is there a place where it tells me that Im close to over the limit in installing apps?
me too
I have the same problem in my Transformer and from I have seen only resetting the tablet to default solves it. But the worse thing is that it will reproduce after a few days. Perhaps a specific application that we are installing do this? But I don't know what application or if it is any other problem. Sometimes Android feels like windows 95, when more applications you install more likely it will break (in the last windows versions it will slowdown).
In my phone Galaxy S 2 suddenly I cannot record audio anymore, no matter what program.
There are other threads talking about this problem of not being able to install programs pointing that it reproduces (as me) but without clear solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062316&highlight=can't+install+app
Is there any way to at least install all applications after a reset from default from some type of list? (without root privileges)
I am desperate, I can't find the issue here. I have a S10 (Xfinity unlocked on Verizon) , I can't seem to update apps, they get stuck at 100% or 99%, AND some things like Gmail and Instagram do not seem to notify that I am getting messages.
Here's the kicker, I factory reset the phone some 5 times now, and still have the issue. The Reset fixes it for a few days (if even a day) and then the issue starts up again!
the phone was just upgraded to 10, but it was happening on 9 also!
no clue what the problem is ! it kills me! Please anyone have any idea? I even had an authorized Samsung dealer do a "software refresh" and then wiped out the phone again, and I'm still having the same issue..
HELP! please.
thank you

Boot into safe mode, it will only load your system apps and not your user apps. Then try to update your apps, if it works then you know the issue is being cause one of your user apps. Then you just need to identify which user app is the offending app.
It also might be caused by a conflict between various settings or maybe you have some things disabled or turned off that are causing this.

That kinda works.. but again, as said, I have reloaded the phone over and over, and it works fine, until a few days later and stars over.. And updating is not the only problem, Geolocating is slow, sluggish or not working sometimes, Push updates of emails are slower or not happening. just weird things..
I am not sure what it could be! its like the phone is the problem!

Ok, everything I posted went completely over your head, I'll try again.
If it is working like it is supposed to while in safe mode(which is only loaded with system apps and system settings and not any of your user apps or data) that tells you that the issue is caused by some user app that you have installed or something in your user settings. In other other words, it is very likely something that you, as the user, have installed or setup/selected, it is probably not the device. It keeps happening after resetting because you are not changing what you are doing that it is causing it, it is something that you keep returning to after resetting the device. You just need to figure out which user app is causing the issue or whatever settings are causing the issue.
The way to do that will be trial and error. Uninstall one of the apps that you have installed, then use the device for a few hours, if the issue continues, that wasn't the app causing the issue, reinstall that app then choose another user app to uninstall and then use the device for a few hours, if the issue continues, that is t the app, reinstall that app, and so on and so on, etc... Get the picture? When you uninstall an app and the issue stops, the last app uninstalled is probably the app causing the issue.
I suggest resetting the device again. Then, only install one of your usual apps but don't install any others and don't change any settings, use the device a while, if the issue does not occur, install another one of your usual apps but don't install any others, basically, install one app at a time until the issue occurs, when it does, the last app installed is probably the offending app.
Or, if you don't find it that way and you get all of your usual apps installed without triggering the issue during the trial and error process, then you need to go through settings by trial and error. Changing one setting at a time and using the device a while to see if the issue occurs, if it does, it probably has something to do with the last setting that you changed before the issue occured.
Slowly changing one thing at a time over an extended amount with time between each change, will allow you to isolate exactly which app or setting is causing the issue.
Or maybe you need to flash your stock firmware via PC tools to start over with a clean installation.

Ever since my Galaxy S10e (AT&T) upgraded to Android 11 last week, I have been having major memory problems. If I switch from one app to another and then go back to the first, it has often been killed. When running some apps, my persistent notifications start disappearing and apps that I have running in the background are getting killed. I often find apps that would always be running in the background are now restarting when I switch to them. I use a Video Compressor app and it ran fine with very rare exceptions in Android 10 but now as soon as I start processing a video, my notifications disappear and if the screen goes off, the app starts processing again at the beginning of the video when I turn the screen back on. With Android 10, I could use several apps and the Video Compressor would work in the background. I have battery optimizations turned off for the relevant apps to the best of my knowledge.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? At this point, I seriously regret upgrading to Android 11.
I'm not sure if EVERY issue I have had with a Samsung phone is completely unique to me or I am just using the wrong forum. The silence always seems to be deafening on threads I start on XDA.
Scope storage sucks.
Try a factory reset and see if this helps. It's time too.
You could have it reflashed to the previous version at a Samsung Experience Store if you can't resolve the issues.
After which disable AT&T updates completely. AT&T advance tech support can also turn it off on their end if you beat them over their heads a bit.
My 10+ is still running fast and stable on Pie... purposely.

Thanks for the advise. Samsung phones are infamous for killing background apps due to battery optimizations, but now my background apps seem to be getting killed due to memory issues.

I disabled all battery optimization and used package disabling, firewall blocking, settings and occasionally clearing certain Google apk data to bring battery life into line.
Scope storage can use more memory but not that much.
Go to Developer options>running services/cache and see what dragging the memory down.
Did you do any system app updates after OTA?
That could be it.
I run the factory load for many of the Google apps. They run better.
AR Core was a horrible resource hog, I disabled it.

I don't have great battery life, but I use my phone heavily and sometimes use intensive apps, so I'm not complaining about that. I have pretty much all battery optimizations turned off (I'm actually currently helping Don'tKillMyApp correct their S10 info, which I never found correct).
The top 5 memory users on my phone are all system processes. I have disabled a number of apps. I have five different AR apps disabled, but I don't see AR Core on my phone. I noticed that One UI Home was in the top 5 at around 450 MB. I disabled that yesterday, since I don't use it (I use Nova) and spent some time trying to figure out why my recent apps button was no longer working. It is ridiculous I need to use 450 MB of memory just to use the recent apps button.
My cached apps don't seem to be using too much memory. I'm sure I have more apps than I need running in the background (Blokada, Bitwarden, a couple battery monitors, a VPN at times and so on), but I didn't really have problems on Android 10. I haven't added any more since upgrading to 11, but I seem to be having serious memory issue. This morning I had the VPN on and was downloading in the background in a browser and I switched to something else minor and when I switched back, the browser had stopped and the VPN stopped, killing my download and VPN connection, so it's seriously impacting the usability of my phone.
When you say you are running the factory load of Google apps, do you mean you have never upgraded them, or have uninstalled updates? I have never really paid attention to those upgrades and have just allowed them.
I seem to regularly see about 84% usage in developer options > memory. Unfortunately, I didn't record what these memory and cache numbers were when I was on 10. 84% sounds high to me, what is anyone else's phone averaging?
I think I definitely need to contact Samsung regarding this issue.

I'm running on Pie so no idea how ARCore is being implemented now or if it's an issue.
On my 10+ Nova uses a lot battery and resources than One UI which is faster as well.
Factory load are the original apks with no updates. Many times updates help but not always.
My ram usage profile is similar to yours.
I have about 86 packages disabled.
Google Backup Transport and Framework can run even when disabled presumably due to dependencies. Periodically clearing there data, Google Play Services and the apk logs helps on this device.
Manual sync only except text, and Google Play Services is Firewall blocked except when needed.
All carrier, Samsung and Google feedback is turned off. Android Services is firewall block as it's not needed. Playstore is disabled and firewall blocked except when needed.
It been an evolving process... one reason I'm not eager to update to Q and start from scratch with this again. Pie is fast, stable and does everything I want it to. To date none of it vulnerabilities have been an issue; a forced reload is far easier than the upgrade

Thanks for the reply and screenshot! Noticeably, the system on your phone uses more memory but you also have more memory to start with than my S10e does.
The only possibly memory-related issue I had on 10 that bothered me was a period of time when my recent apps menu was often getting cleared out, even of the locked apps. Both Samsung and AT&T told me I would need to do a system reset, which I didn't want to do, or take it into a store for a repair. For some reason, this issue seemed to have gone away before the Android 11 upgrade on its own.
I am going to try disabling or uninstalling apps that are running in the background that I don't really need and I'll try some of your suggestions such as disabling auto-sync. I really don't believe I should have to do this though since I wasn't having issues like this on Android 10 and the phone should be new enough to handle the upgrade without such issues, so I will contact Samsung to see what they say.
As I said, I am generally a fan of upgrades, but I really can't think of anything I have seen better about Android 11. Even the better control over app permissions doesn't seem as good as it was described. There are SERIOUS issues with some apps using the SD Card. At this point, I certainly wouldn't have upgraded if I had known this, and for me, that is saying a lot.

Generally I close out apps after I'm done with them as some like Brave continue to run in the background sucking down the battery.
Migrating from Pie you lose a lot of valuable tools in the name of Google's big sister approach to security. Lol, Google is the biggest security risk on the phone.
Do the factory reset. After a firmware update it's best practice. For once the do a factory reload advice from the techs was sound
If you have an SD card use it as a data drive. The internal drive is for loaded apps, downloads (until vetted) and such.
Store all critical data there, files, music, vids, including copies of your apps (ApkExport) so you can do a full reload with little or no internet or your PC. Make a copy of the SD card data to your PC and 2 hdds that are electronically and physically isolated from the PC. Back these up as needed.
I can do a full reload in about 2 hours. 2 forced back to back reloads made me streamline the process. A forced reload doesn't happen often but can happen at any time. A SD card used as a data drive adds another level of redundancy and perhaps data security.

Thanks for the info, I will consider the factory reset if I can't make any progress on this issue. I chatted with Samsung today and they told me to wipe the cache in recovery, which seemed like a valid suggestion to me, so I will see if that makes any difference

Just do the factory reset rather than chase ghosts. Nothing like a clean, fresh load... then you can see if there really are issues that need resolved. Hopefully only minor ones.

In all honesty, though you make it sound like nothing, I am very afraid of loosing things if I factory reset. I spend a lot of time personalizing my phone just as I want it and even if I can reload my apps, I worry about the time it will take to get my battery widget color just as I want it . Not everything allows exporting the settings.
It would have been less of an issue on my rooted Galaxy S4 with Titanium Backup (which I still have as a backup), but my S10e isn't rooted. I use Alpha Backup Pro to backup apps sometimes, but after the upgrade to Android 11, it is no longer able to save external data, another disadvantage to the so-called upgrade.
If I was to factory reset my phone, what would I do then about upgrades. Can I decline the Android 11 upgrade but still accept the periodic security updates?
So far, things seem somewhat better after wiping the cache, but I don't believe the issue is resolved.

Well designed apps that are hard to set up should allow the settings to be easily saved. Maybe some settings can be saved with Smart Switch.
Start now; streamline your reload strategy so it's easy, fast, redundant and loses no critical data.
It's a learning process that you need to put some thought into. All critical data should already be on the data drive.
Androids when they crash do it with little warning most times. Always being ready to reload makes it only a minor inconvenience.
As for 10/11 I have no useful workaround info as it doesn't concern me.
I've been running obsolete, unpatched OS's including Android for over a decade with very little trouble.
Far less trouble than upgrading to a "secure" system would cause.
No forced reloads from viruses starting with XPx64/Kitkat4. The one thing I watch like a hawk are email and downloads. Email stays in the cloud unless a download is absolutely required.
Pie continues to provide a fast, stable platform that does everything I need. No replacement needed as long as I'm using this device.
I block all updates.
If you should is up to you...
Everything related to my device is redundantly protected so if I do get hacked the most it will cost me is some time. If I suspect a device compromised (including erratic behavior) it gets reloaded.
I'm a bit ruthless about that; all OS's are expendable, data is not.
Whenever I set up a machine I assume it's will need reloaded sooner than latter. Everytime I've drifted from that premise it's been unpleasant.
Two back to back reloads on the 10+ impressed me enough to nail down my reload strategy.
2 hours instead of almost 2 days; shortcuts and fine tuning take another few hours. Whatever

It has recently come to my attention that performing a factory reset, like you were suggesting, will not downgrade the system version (in this case 11 to 10), just reset the phone to a like-new state WITH the existing system version. I'm unsure if you were just suggesting a factory reset to 'clean up' Android 11, but I believed otherwise at the time. So I guess my only downgrade options would be reflashing to the previous version at a Samsung Experience Store, as you also suggested, or going the root route.

Exactly. When you don't do a factory reset after a major firmware update it tends to run poorly.
You're stuck on whatever was flashed to the device though, good or bad.
You need to reflash the old version if you want that unfortunately.
One reason myself and many others rarely upgrade an OS if we like it, it's running fast, stable and is fulfilling its mission.
