cant install apk files - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Suddenly I can not install APK files on my Gtablet. I never had a issue. Is says to install and it stays on the Install Progress bar for ever, tried different files etc.
The only thing I can think is that I installed the Google Market APP that came out today. It did not work and I uninstalled it ( it took 2 tries of having to re-start my tablet to remove it, was hard to remove)
Anyone have a clue what might be up?
I am using Stock Rom.
Thanks

In Settings > Applications, has the "Unknown sources" box become unchecked?
If it is still checked, try wiping data/cache for Market in Settings > Application > Manage applications > All.

Thanks for the help but none of that is in my Gtablet.
There is no "Unknown Sources" box to check OR Manage Applications in the APPLICATIONS tab.

[Q] Market Apps won't download

So I'm not sure what's going on with the android market, but no apps will download anymore for me. It gets stuck on 'starting download' and the progress bar just sits there and doesn't move. I didn't notice it until I started trying to flash some ROMs but even when I have flashed back to my nandroid backup it still doesn't work.
Things I've tried...
Clearning Market Cache
Force Quiting Market
Rebooting
Clearing phone cache
Still no luck...anyone have a solution for me? Thanks
If you are rooted I would use Rom Manager and Fix Permissions. I've had a few apps that wouldn't update nor download.

Thanks...I am rooted and I just tried that...NO LUCK Somebody please help me out, this is really irritating me!
Snap...I think I figured out what is wrong. I might have deleted (somehow) the actual Market App. I have the Icon on my homescreen that connects, but when I go to Manage Applications, I only see the Market Update App. Does this make sense, is this possible?
Simple fix. Just log onto google talk. It should work after you log in. dont know why, but it just does.
Sent from my SGH-T959
Another fix
1. go to your settings
2. select "applications"
3. then select "manage applications"
4. press menu and select "filter" then "All"
5. scroll down to:
a) "Checkin Service" then select "clear data"
b) "Download Manager" then select "clear data"
c) "Google Apps" then "clear data"
d) "Google Talk Service" then select "clear data"
e) " Market" then select "clear cache"
Thanks guys...I'll note your advise. I just installed a new ROM and the new market app came with it, so all is good right now.
I've had the same issue.
Igor's solution is right. More specifically its the Download Manager.
Clear Data and re-attempt download, it should go through.
I've had the same problem, but only at the office and then only if I am connected to the WiFi network here.
I also tried using "Connectify" on my laptop, but since the laptop is tied to the corporate network, the problem happens there too...
Most likely the problem is that our network nazis block ports required.
Turning off WiFi fixes the problem here.
I have the exact same problem just as the OP. When I try to update or download apps, it says invalid package and fails to install. When I try to update a file, it deletes the original and fails to install anything.
I did all this and still, it won't work:
1. go to your settings
2. select "applications"
3. then select "manage applications"
4. press menu and select "filter" then "All"
5. scroll down to:
a) "Checkin Service" then select "clear data"
b) "Download Manager" then select "clear data"
c) "Google Apps" then "clear data"
d) "Google Talk Service" then select "clear data"
e) " Market" then select "clear cache"
I can only install apps/games if I download it from another source other than the Android Market.

[Q] Google Play stuck 'downloading' help?

I have just installed Android Revolution HD 14.0 but I cannot download any apps from Google Play.
The status bar just stays at "downloading". I have cleared data and cache. My google play is version 3.9.16. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions of a fix would be very much appreciated.

There are some further steps that should resolve the issue you are seeing, as market is also tied into some of the other Google applications:
After step 6 above do the following:
1. Also find applications 'Google Services Framework' and 'Google Play Services'.
2. Force close and clear data for both of these applications.
3. Go into your Google account and disable all the sync options so nothing is ticked.
4. Reboot your device now, do not run any of the applications.
5. Re-enable all your sync options under your google account
6. Re-Boot again, now you can go and try the Play store.
This should resolve both issues mentioned in this thread. It has happened to me on numerous occasion and this has resolved.
Worth a not if you have any of the other play store, Books, Movies, Magazines then it's worth deleting or completing above steps for these too.
Hope this helps.

Same as here.
I'm not able to receive video call on Whatsapp. So, I uninstall it from my device, and when I try to install it, it stuck at downloading. I cleaned the cache and data of play store but still, it is not downloading the app but every time shows that it is downloading the app, but in reality, it does not. Can you please suggest some more ways to fix this problem.

3 things to try.
1, reinstall play store app and services via apk from Apkmirror.com.
2, delete and reinstall your Google profile.
3, wait until later as it is most likely an issue with Google servers.
I have another problem with Google Apps.
After flashing any nougat based custom ROM, and then after installing OpenGapps arm 7.1 my phone stuck with a problem that Google services was stopped.
Try a different version of gapps.

Go to your app settings page (Settings > Apps > Manage Applications) and open Media Storage. select "clear data".
Then boot into CWM and under Advanced, choose fix permissions.
Reboot
In Settings > Apps > Manage Applications, open Google Services Framework. Clear data.

I came to this solution trying all what I found on dozens of forums. Most of them don't work. Sadly I don't remember where I found this one, to give the proper credits.

My answer was based on my experience on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 , with CWM 6.0.2.x (IIRC)
There was a "fix permissions" option in the advanced menu, I think you should search on Google "cwm +recovery +YourModel"
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

com.android.phone has stopped - My Solution
I've had this while showing my friend my new ROM & Recovery install.
Philz Touch had just turned itself into standard 6.0.4.5 so I re-zipped it ... WRONG!!!
First I got "Unfortunately .... com.android.phone" message, so I cleared the caches, factory reset (forgot to format system cache - but hey!) THEN reflashed the ROM (Paranoid Android 4.4.3 RC1) and the GApps (PA-Mini)
THEN I started getting "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped".
Hmmm ... So I started thinking "Media huh?"
Went into recovery and mounted the SDCard0 and SDCard1.
Aaannd ... she's working again.
Of course, now I'm waiting while all my Apps reload (Good old Google Sync :good: ), then Contacts etc.
But at least I got the damn thing back to working. :fingers-crossed:
Moral of the story "Don't mess with it if it ain't broke!"

All I get is the downloading bar and it says it's downloading but it just sits there like that for hours unless I stop it or I let it stop by itself and showing error 923
Sometimes it's running, but most of the time, the bar is not progressing
I manage to be able to download / update the app after I get that 923 error couple times only
I tried this solution on google

Clear cache & Clear Data > Reboot"
"Goto Settings > Application Manager > find Google Play Store
Clear cache & Clear Data > Setting > Play store services > Clear cache & data > Reboot"

had this issue with my note 2 but dont remember the error code exactly. tried everything possible but it was fixed automatically after a week or so, therefore, wait for few days for a playstore update or firmware update.
Had this issue yesterday but got error code 920, it fixed itself after 20 mins or so

Try uninstalling all the Playstore updates from app manager, delete data and open it. It should take a bit longer to launch because of it looking for an update.
Still happened? Try clean install using flashtool. Hope that will help

Honor 8X Max "This app may harm your operating system. Installation is not advised" ?
Hi all,
While installing a downloaded apk (happens to be the Google Services) onto my Chinese sourced Honor 8X Max, I get a message in red that states "This app may harm your operating system. Installation is not advised." I cannot find anyway to move past/ignore this 'warning' as there are only 'Cancel' and 'Search in App Gallery' buttons presented.
Anyone seen this? Any workarounds please?
Cheers!
What is the name of the application that you can not install? I will check this app on my phone.
