Question Pixel 7 Pro can't sideload apks - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Hey so I have a bunch of older apks I prefer over newer ones from play store. I have them backed up. They have always worked on my Sammy phones. This is my first Pixel and I love it. I activated unknown sources and gave permissions to file managers and still it fails. I tried with a 3rd party manager (solid explorer) and it says app not compatible with this version on android.
But I have android 13 on my Sammy phone and it works fine. Anyone have a tip?
I also have play protect and device security off or deactivated

That sounds familiar. I recall some people on the Pixel 6 Pro claiming they couldn't sideload apps, but I never had any problem, and there were others who didn't have problems either.
Edit: You might want to search the titles of threads in the Pixel 6 Pro section for:
sideload
or
apk

I had a nice read... but it's not exactly my issue. my apps are all paid. Maybe I'll just use the newer versions and delete the collection of old apks. I have from all the way to 2008 it takes up like 14gb on my laptop lol. I really did just prefer older versions before many apps were sold and then turned into an unbearable ad and spam machine

Any APK that uses accessibility features will no longer work, paid or otherwise.

Are you talking about the new A13 restrictions for accessibility and notification access? If so, you can bypass the restrictions by clicking on the 3 dot menu in the app info section.

Good to know that the option wasn't removed in final A13 because it's not present in A13 on my OnePlus 9.

Let us know if you figure it out

Can't install so can't get into a 3dot menu if it won't install. it's fine just decided I'll use the new apks from play store. not that big of a deal

I´m waiting for my P7Pro to arrive. But I was wondering if installing apk´s via ADB will work?

Jus to confirm.
I got the same Problem.
Wanted to install APKPure App. Not compatible.

Does adb sideload work? If it fails, it might give you a helpful error message that way. I haven't received my P7P yet or I would try it out.

this is what pops up with built in file manager
and with solid it shows another message
(I cut off name of apk)

Sideloading i believe worked but im not sure about it.

Are you sure the apk you're trying to install is compatible with Android 13?
Maybe try another file manager like Mixplorer.

is it a 64bit ARM app you're installing?

Does the P7P drop support for 32bit native applications? I recall something along those lines being talked about, but it was supposed to be in connection with the upcoming pixel tablet.
Confirmed: factory images for P7[P] drop all 32bit ABI's. If a native application lacks 64bit, it will not work.

Will look into it I just got off work here in Germany

Open Home Deprecated

Ok so I have this installed on my phone and I have no clue what it is, never installed it nor can I find a way to uninstall it. Anyone else have it installed and if so did you find a way to delete/uninstall it?
It has the same thing in my downloads section of the market. The app doesn't show up in the app list under settings, though. It's really an annoyance and I think it is also causing the market to give me a false update notification. My boyfriend's phone does not have it installed and is not having any sort of the same issue with the market.
The only thing I think will clear it is a factory reset.
Update: I did a factory reset and before everything restored and I started using apps, it wasn't there. After I started using a few apps it was. No way to get rid of it until you reset the phone again. I don't know which app is causing it, but the few that I did open were task panel, eReader, and a word game. I removed them and reset. It has been quite a few hours after heavy use and it hasn't showed up in my downloads. I suspect one of those apps.
bump
this is really aggravating and many people dont even realize they have it on their phone. I have two nexus ones and its on both of them and on both phones i get the damn phantom application update notification. Has anyone figured out anything more about this? thank you
Where are you guys seeing it? I'm a pretty heavy app user, having installed/uninstalled quite a few, and haven't done any type of wipe; however, I'm not seeing what you're describing.

I believe the the old openhome app had the class name com.google.launcher2 this is same name that google have now used for the new launcher hence the market thinks its installed... which is isn't.
Has anyone tried to install open home & then uninstall? Maybe it will get rid of both...

Weird. I don't have that. You guys should use atrackdog to generate an installed alp list and compare them for commonalities.
Like all issues with this phone, I don't know if I'm supposed to contact HTC, google, or T-Mobile. Sound like a software issue so I'm guessing google?

I am not sure why you would need to guess in this case. It is neither a hardware or a plan problem. Google is your source for a solution. This is very likely dues to a previous installation of Open Home on an older android. As to why you can not uninstall it I can not answer, but at the least I do not have it in my installed software list.
Are you rooted? If so, you could go in and delete the apk from /data/app

Um, because Apps aren't vetted? com.google is just a java namespace it doesn't change anything or give you magic permissions.
Most likely openhome grew from someone starting with the launcher source and renaming it by adding "2" then tweaking it. The only bug here is that the market is looking for installed apps by "pname" whereas atrackdog doesn't.
Its a Market display bug guys, the app is _not_ on your phone.

Agreed, although I already left a market comment.
So I am not the only one. I have the bloody app on my phone too. I never installed it. It was there from day one and I can't remove it.

Thanks for the .apk, surprised the Vibrant isn't supported even though the Captivate is. Yes you need to have U-Verse service as well as the U300 package or above to take advantage fully of the app (thankfully I am)

Just use it for the DVR management, definitely worth it. You can use the channel guide or search by time and even future dates. Much better than the mobile website. That alone is worth the download.
If you search the actual available content to watch it is all older programming and select channels. This is not a "slingbox" replacement app by any means. All the U300 package will give you with this app is the ability to download and watch certain older programming. Sorry should have clarified my above post.
I have TMOBILE - using MY TOUCH 3G phone and this APK file worked great.

First, put the apk file on your phones sd card. Go to market and download "appInstaller". Then open appInstaller, find your uverse apk, and click install.

U-Verse on Droid
Hi there. I installed the U-verse mobile app on my Verizon Droid. (Thanks for that!) It seems to work fine until I attempt to download shows to my phone from the 'Show Library.' I get a message saying it can't be done because of system issues. Has anybody else had success downloading shows? Or does my not being on AT&T's actual network prevent me from doing it?
Thanks,
ej
Can't say for sure that it is from not being on AT&T's network but it looks to be that way. I can't download and watch shows on my EVO. I said all along that when they finally did release an Android App it would probably only be compatible with AT&T android phones. the bastards!
Had the same problem. Make sure you are on WiFI and then try it a few times. It will eventually work. Im running original droid as well.
Hmmn
jim, I've tried it with Wi-Fi and 3G, both ways get me this message "Cannot Subscribe. Thank you for your interest. Subscription cannot be completed at this time due to system issues. Please try again later."
This happens when I click Agree to Terms of Service, and the denial message appears instantaneously, as if it's a built in denial that shows before a connection is even attempted.
Maybe there is a setting on my phone I don't know about?
Question:
When I install the app, one of the things it asks for is permission to call phone numbers. I can understand why it asks for other permissions, like changing network connectivity (downloading shows only over wifi).... but I can't figure out what the app does that needs phone call permissions. Does anybody have any insight on this?
Btw, the app works great on my phone. Can't download shows, as I only have U200. For those who have previously posted about not being able to install the app on your phone, the user guide says it works on android 2.1 and higher, for phones on the list. (I didn't see a list, though).
Works on the vibrant after hours of trial and error.not much to download and watch though.

Got it working...
Not sure how though.
I thought I'd be able to watch shows I had recorder to the DVR, but that was hoping for too much I guess.

Samsung Mail, Social Hub and Samsung IM

Disclaimer: I take no credit for this. I am just posting it here to bring it to the attention of more Galaxy Tab users as I found it in another forum purely by chance and I know some Galaxy Tab users are looking for it. I believe these apps are available and distributed freely by Samsung (correct me if I am mistaken) so there should be no harm in me posting them here
You can now finally have the fully functioning Samsung Mail, Social Hub and Samsung IM apps running on your Galaxy Tab. These apps provide seamless integration for virtually any kind of email account (including my company's very tightly guarded Exchange server!). The three apps bring together all your email (all with super-quick push mail) and IM into a unified inbox that is very easy to navigate through and provides very tight integration with the Tab's Contacts and Calendar apps even giving full activity history with your contacts in similar fashion to HTC Sense (though perhaps not as sexy)
You can get more info from the official website here:

Install the apps as ordered by filename then reboot for good measure

If you are having issues getting it to work you can try the following:
1. Install Seven.apk (attached below)
2. Put UnifiedInbox.apk (attached below) in /system/app/ using the following code:
Code:
adb push UnifiedInbox.apk /system/app/
3. Reboot
This should get it working and you can then update to the latest version using the first two files

I was able to run the previous version of Samsung Mail without any trouble. Successfully connected to Exchange Servers without issue. Seems this new version is not going to work for me. Thanks.

Maybe can try Mercury Messenger or Trillian for Android. Both these apps work prety well; only problem is they are battery drainer. Samsung IM on the other hand pushes so theoritically less battery usage but it doesn't update friends list as often. Problem I faced with this IM is when I logged on to MSN and a friend logged on few minute later, the list is not updated; hence, IM show my friend as not logged on (offline). Mercury or trillian on the other hand updated it almost immediately. Anyway, it could be just me.

One of my favourite features about Samsung IM is that it is real-time push as you said...

Note that the app has the same package name but a different signature, you will need to uninstall the old CatLog and then install this one
Awesome!
Finally there's a holo version of logcat, I've waited so long for this
Already wanted to do it myself, but never found the time..
I hope you're going to keep it up to date
Are you planning to release it on the Play Store some day?

How about offering a version with a slightly different name so as to be able to install both versions?
CatLog is still actively maintained so it would be nice to have yours installed and also keep up with the originals updates.

CatLog is not actively maintained. The project has been mostly abandoned and open sourced by the author in September 2012 (WTFPL!). He says he has no will to work on it anymore and he kindly open sourced so people like Quinny could take on it and have fun with it. He previously mentioned wanting to adhere more with the Holo standard (done!) as well as touch up the filtering.

I used "actively maintained" after going to the Play Store and seeing that it was last updated on December 13 2013, maybe something more subtle like still receives updates would have been better. I did not know that he said he didn't want to work on it anymore, the app still receives the occasional small update hence the reason for my request.
It also makes sense to slightly change the name (CatLog Holo comes to mind ) if Quinny plans to publish the app in the future since that name is already taken in the Play Store.
Sorry if I am being tiresome, I just posted here to see what Quinny's position was on doing this.

Android 11 developer preview discussion

Get your OTA update here, and your full image here.
Edit: changed thread name.
Is the developer preview daily driver material or is it rather buggy anyone who's used it for at least a day want to give their opinions

Yes it is. I have not had a single issue with it. After sideloading the OTA, there was a message about registering my sim. My guess would be it was looking for an esim, which I don't have, but after that my sim was recognized and all has been running smoothly.
works fine for me, the only issue I've found is with GooglePay, where it doesn't allow me to add a credit card.
On a good note, they implemented VoLTE services with my network provider (TIM Italy) not available on Android O/10

Well the Google people that picked the theming colors should be shot. It's like it's Easter all the time. I have to root and use a hack to get decent theme colors

Exactly, Colors are all over the place, notifications are a mess, user friendliness has gone for a toss, android auto is ****, its almost begging users to switch to iOS, its a bloody shame, seems like no body is incharge, and everyone in all departments are experimenting forever.
Dont even start about play store!!
Apps look horrible forever. Believe me people will easily buy Pixel if only google appoints one person for whole os rather than army of different people with different ideas.

I regret installing the android preview. It is very buggy and for some reason when I use YouTube it starts scrolling thru the comments section without me touching the screen.
I have to agree, android has gotten pretty ugly. Remember Honeycomb? It was kind of rad in it own rights. Had a color scheme, they introduced the Roboto font, the wallpapers looked like they all belonged to a pack and nit just random stock images of bubbles. Holo kept everything uniform. It seemed to be the 1st and last time they had a clear concise vision for an OS.
Hell, the little android guy was a bee lol.

Why did you install it? IT'S A DEVELOPER RELEASE! You experienced exactly what is expected. The release is PRE-BETA and for developers and enthusiasts to test and report issues. In other words, you are suppose to experience bugs - that's the whole purpose of the release.
Did you even report your issues? Probably not. I'm sure it was just easier to come online and complain about your experience.
