Thanks for your response. Great!! I just followed your steps and Rebooted my devices and its WORKING!!
Many thanks for getting things resolved. Its been the major problem with my device.
I Tried googling and found in many forums that its due to some unsigned apps that causing the problem. Just wondered, how clearing the media contents resolved this one.
Could you please provide the scene behind media storage and please let me know hoe could this solves the issue.

Hi There, It seems like temporary fix for this issue. When the media app has some data in it, this problem reproduced. is there any permanent way to get rid of it?
Am in GB2.3.5, very sooner, i will get ICS 4.0.4 in my device. will that solve this problem?
Kindly help me..

install touch boton disable
CONGRATULATIONS, You really are great, clear media data solved the problem even without rebooting.
I have been surfing for a solutin wihout succes till I founded this Foto.
THANKS. thanks I meet your comments.
Do not give up and find the root cause.

my solution
I use an app called screen filter at night to darken my screen. I have found that the install button won't function when screen filter is engaged, disengage it and the install
button works again.

Here's the thing for me though... I don't use a screen filter. I have always just used the display timer in the device's settings. And I do have "Unknown Sources" enabled. It just stopped working though.
I tried the Media Storage fix, but it didn't work, before or after rebooting.

UPDATE: Figured it out! Of all things, it was a Clipboard app that I recently installed, called "Copy Bubble". Thanks though!

I had the same situation, I mean when I tried to install any apps with unknown source I had active cancel button and inactive install button.
After wipe and install clean rom everything was OK so I was sure that issue was by my installed apps. In this case: Lux Auto Brithness. After freezing this apps - install button is active.

Screen filtering apps causes this issue.
I believe they add layer and android disables INSTALL considering security..
If clearing data for media storage seems like temporary fix, then no permanent fix(?) is there instead removing the app thats causing the screen overlay (Unless devs find one and they will):good:
In my case it was EDGE MASK app's rounded corners effect that was causing issue.. Disabled it and worked..
Google for screen filtering apps and find your's..

[Q] U8150 FusionIdeos 2.7.10 & messaging app issue

First I would like to appreciate the hard work Fusiondev has put into this custom built ROM & say thank you! Am loving it,so much better than stock.
I however have run into abit of an anomaly. The default messaging app seems to have persistence without the option of removing it. It also shares dialer app function of storing the simcard's pin no. thus if you attempt to kill it,it won't die but you'll instantly receive a notification requesting you to enter your pin code.
It would also have been nice if the edge/2G/3G connectivity notification wasn't tied to messaging notification sound settings,its a little odd when you have a voice notifying mp3 for messages then again you here it on edge/2G/3G connectivity notification. Can anyone confirm this issue coz I followed instructions to the letter when installing FusionIdeos 2.7.10. I used clockworkmod & didn't forget to wipe/factory reset before flashing. I also can't tell how many characters am typing in the messaging app.
Installing a third party messaging app like Go SMS Pro still fails to relieve the default messaging app of its persistence & causes message/notification duplication. Is there a fix for this issue?
Anyone pliz help! I re-installed FusionIdeos and all I get now is improved battery life,the prob still persists even after fresh download. I can't get into boatloader mode (something I later also discovered). It just displays a blue 2 @ the bottom right of the screen & I have to remove the battery to boot normally. Anyone help me.!
Have you tried uninstalling the default messenger app (using a system app uninstaller)?

Infact I'd love it if you could suggest a good app that does just that coz I have installed apps alone without games & all am left with is a measly 57MB. How would one untie the edge/2G/3G notification tone to the text messaging notification tone?

You could try this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.danesh.system.app.remover&hl=en (always works for me). You could just try changing the message tone.

Let me see, where do I start. Alright that app means serious biz. I played around with it and it cost me my keyboard hence wasnt able to post here until now. As of now I have been through CynogenMod 7.2 found that it cant surf the net, has no list of APN list and now am back. When I used system app remover to take out mms.apk (messaging app) it went with the system keyboard. It was extremely persistent in giving a "force close" error right until I rebooted the phone. So I flashed CynogenMod 7.2, realized it cant surf then looked for an online pc and had to download a third party keyboard.
What effectively happened was my system now has alot of free ram instead of free space, its very fluid in performance especially with Go laucher Ex effects all enabled. I really wish there could be some FusionIdeos update separating all this ties within the system. I believe the reason why this ROM is so big is because of the language packs coz the CynogenMod 7.2 ROM left me with 142MB to play with but this one does only 67MB as of now. Is there anyway this language packs can be removed? I still cannot boot into bootloader mode
Bump, anyone?
Bump!
I know there people who can help even @ this time of the year. I could use some help here.

Yes I am able to.
As for (power+red+vol.down), what happens is, the phone reboots then remains in a sort of an idling state where nothing is happening,I have been reading around and now it seems that is what they call bootloader mode,if that's it then yes. Probably its idle coz there isnt a zip to update to. Is that right? I also read in some forum that you can flash clockworkmod recovery using bootloader mode with a custom zip but only in Evo,havent found for u8150-D yet.
I believe I can get more freespace if I can remove the language packs that I dont need. Know how?
How can I remove the language packs that I dont need from this ROM?
Da#n!!
Bricked my phone again!
I may a noob going through puberty (brick-phone stage) trashed my recovery menu, trashed my rom and ram, but am not interested in building a dynasty of expensive brickhouses (deaded ZTE blades,U8800s,U8150s......)
My phone is up & running once again, so
Bump!
Considering the heading of this topic, I would say that my problem has been solved by simply removing the default messaging app, therefore this topic can be bagged and tagged. Link2SD also solved my space issues dramatically... even my launcher 10MB is auto linked 2 sd and works flawlessly!

May have found the source of the re-draw issue

Hey Guys,
If you are having the re-draw issue, try this. I can confirm that it fixed my re-draw issue.
Settings>Developer options>Uncheck "Don't keep activities"
After you do this, you should get the re-draw one more time, afterwards, there should be no more re-draws. I was also able to re-create the re-draw issue when I checked the "Don't keep activities" option.
Hope this helps!
Btw, I'm using the Nordic Combined version of ICS right now.

Isn't that the default option (if you flash a ROM fresh, that option is unchecked by default). So how does it help
Try opening loads of windows in the browser and looking for a good 10-15 mins and see if it's still fixed?

Thanks Mate worked for me too. Initially i also flashed directly on .75 but was feeling lags. Today i reflashed after clearing Internal memory and restoring too default. But today I was very unhappy with the lags that too when i have only the stock softwares. The Leg was killing me when i perform basic functions such as going to dialer and it shows redraw while coming back to home screen the icons on home screen will take second or two to come back and was thinking of going back to GB but your post helped me.
I really don't think sony has worked very well on the update or may be they haven't provided proper installation information to customers.
Please note when i initially flashed wihtout restoring to default and clearing internal memory even for me these options are unchecked. Also today i flashed with SUS not PCC.

To tell you the truth, after flashing and before I did anything else (install apps, etc.), I would go into settings and set everything back to how I had them on GB which included checking that option. So this time around, I installed all apps before settings which led me to discover that that option was what was causing my redraw issue.

Hmmm, have you tried to check it then start a few apps in the home screen and then uncheck it? It was unchecked by default, then I went and checked it (unknowingly), then once I unchecked it, the redraw issue was gone.

I can not confirm whether it does or does not. However, I've taken a browse at some of the folders and files that are left behind from various uninstalled apps and such, I would propose that it is probably a good idea to clear your internal storage and perform a factory reset before your flash. Now, once again, I can not confirm whether this actually does anything, but it's just what I did.
mhm okay.. could you try to open some heavy apps like browser or games and then right after open the dialer or contacts and tell me how fast it is?

I tried it. The initial launch was a slower than normal however, after that, it was fast like normal.
okay.. just cleared everything.. its way faster now imo.. thanks mate! =)
It should be unchecked by default in all pure stock ROMs. If it was enabled on your phone it means you manually enabled it before, or the custom ROM you installed had it enabled.
Yes, it was unchecked. But as a habit (probably because, like everyone in here, I'm obsess with making sure that I have the most amount of memory free), after flashing, I would go and check it; not knowing that it was causing an issue with this version of ICS. Now, I certainly suspect that this alone did not "fix" the issue, I'm thinking that it was a combination of clearing the internal storage, resetting the phone, and not checking "kill application" that fixed this issue.

[Q] Whatsapp Can't Upload Photo

A few things to try (I'm sure you've done them already but just in case)...
1. Scale the image to different sizes before saving.
2. Make sure your wifi or data is on, as the app sometimes needs to consult with whatsapp servers for operations like that.
3. Make a backup of the app. Then go to Settings > Apps > select Whatsapp and then 'Clear Data'. See if that's fixed it.
4. If not, as a last result, after backing up your app data, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app.
5. Make sure it's the most up to date version from the play store.
6. If you have a custom recovery, you could try to fix permissions from TWRP or CWM.
7. Shout loudly at it and make threatening gestures. :silly:
I'll install it and see if I can reproduce the problem.
EDIT: Installed it and was able to upload profile photo without problem. Sorry.
Really appreciate the advice, I really do. None of it has worked though!
Bloody annoying....
Bugger. I wonder if it's not WhatsApp, but your gallery app that's the issue? Have you tried using something like QuickPic perhaps? Just a thought...

Ordered a Sandisk 8GB Micro SD yesterday anyhow for £5.50 which I thought was a good price. Apparently, originally £18 or so.
Mine doesn't work either on my Company Wifi. Interesting part is that Windows Phone, Blackberry folks can upload and send photos without a prob. Just the android clients are having this problem.
works only from internal sd with me. from external sd i get error massage. hope it helps
on my sgs4
Hey. I started encountering the same problem. I cant change my profile picture and i cant send pics to anyone. I am using a custom rom on my sgs4 and i WAS using whatsapp reborn when this problem occurred. Even after switching to the original one didn't solve the issue. I reinstalled the rom, reinstalled whatsapp after clearing all the date and cache. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas why this is happening?
hi all
hi Pedro, just disable the developer option..to do that go to settings, more, developer option and disable it..see if that works..
Try this; Settings > App Manager > "Go to the App. Permission screen to change permission for individual apps." > WhatsApp > Shared files - - ON.

Overlay Screen Detected

Hello, first I'm sorry for poor English, but I will try the best for it.
I'm having issues with my G5 (H-860) after last update (V10e-SEA-XX) I'm getting screen overlay detected on my phone when i want to set permission for new download app. I follow the instruction to turn off in setting but it's not solved. The problem still in there. I've tried several suggest from google:
1. From quick search google, it's said because the application for setting the brightness like lux or twilight, but i don"t have the application like that in my phone.
2. I'm going to turn off all application who have permit to draw over other apps, but still doesn't success. and some application can't be set on or off.
3. I'm going to safe mode and want to change the permission setting from the application i want to set, but the problem still exist! even in safe mode this screen overlay detected still pop out.
4. Lastly, I'm going to factory reset (hard reset). It's success. I'm download application and set permission setting to all of them. But in the next few hours, the problem coming again!
please help me if one of you can solved this problem. Imagine waze application doesn't have permission set to location lol

Hi. To me Safe Mode don´t help, in safe mode still give same error at least to storage. Have SD in phone.
I solved. Disable all non system app permission to overlay and force stop Clean Master or any other battery saving app what installed. Worked on me.
For me it was File Explorer HD causing it. As soon as I disabled it's screen overlay permission issue was solved

Go to the setting , then general then accessiblity then go inside and motor & cognition go inside again touch assistant then off , after that just get the facebook or other applications open. For example go to open the facebook and save photo anyone what you want then pop up the granted permission then allow or if its not pop up, show the msg like saved photo ..then your facebook have granted for storage, please dont open again touch assistant because of some applications need permission then all of your application was granted then touch assistant can open agaim if you need ........
Thanks catastrophe0ph
i just fixed mine too. In my own case GravityBox is the culprit.
The application "pie" in GravityBox was the problem for me! I disabled it and had no more issues!
i've cheked it before and its about android 6.0 not 6.0.1 and also its not lg g5 h860. :
This OVERLAY problem is hugely irritating. I bought this phone (H 860 India) a week back when it was on V10f firmware and MM 6.0.1. No overlay problems faced then. I took it to service centre and upgraded it to V10k (since no OTAs were given available) and since then the problem cropped up. I have never faced this problem in any of my phones, Coolpad Note 3 Lite (on MM), Nexus 5x (neither on MM nor on N). SO I think its a problem with LG firmware. And sadly there is no perfect solution for the problem. You try to find out the culprit app, or disable overlay in all for getting a permission. Very sad. Anybody else facing problem in V10k indian version?
I can't stand the Overlay Screen Detected message.. So darn annoying... I couldn't give permissions to this one ap, because of it. Messenger head was no open, yet it still was messing with the screen overlay premissions . I was able to give the ap it's premissions, when I disabled screen overlay for Messenger.

Honor 7 PLK-UL00 Recent apps not showing.

It's recently used apps button when touched, is not showing anything, rather it turns my wallpaper black for a second and then restores. I have recorded my screen to show the exact problem being faced by me (thanks to new screen recording feature given in EMUI 4.0). I am not able to provide the link to the screen recording due to being a new member in xda.
Due to this I am unable to switch between apps and also not able to stop the unwanted apps that keep on running. Please tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

I have a faced this problem too. I solved it by uninstalling the latest installed apps one by one. In my case seven adclear was probably causing this issue. You can try it too. Uninstalling is less pain than an entire reset.

Hi, I had tried each and everything for it. From factory reset to manual updating to existing EMUI version. Nothing solved that problem.
Few days back I was lying on my bed, exploring some unknown features. I came through the 'Floating Dock'. This thing actually solved my issue. This floating icon on home screen has a button which clears all apps consuming power and takes the phone to optimal level. After using it, my recent app widget issue is not creating that problem. I am happy now. Thanks for your help too.
