I have a little bug of sorts, it seems. My screen brightness seemed to be flickering around, so I went to settings>display>brightness to try to adjust it, and I am getting "the application settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it? TIA...
I am having the same problem. Some say to uninstall fonts, but it did not work for me.

Thanks for the response. Is it your understanding that one or more individual fonts need to be deleted, or does the whole folder needs to be deleted with Root Explorer, or what exactly needs to be done? I'm willing to try it, the display is the best part of the phone and I can't stand looking at dullness constantly.
Maybe a bad flash or something?
Odin work or have you not tried?

Yeah, in addition to the brightness thing I was starting to get the random shutdowns again, which is the only thing I hate worse than the brightness problem. Just reflashed, all seems well. I never did understand the concept of a "bad flash", but I guess that's what happened. It either flashed or it didn't? What do I know? Thanks much...
FIXED. So it looks like if you assigned a font then uninstalled the font without changing the system font first, it will cause this problem. I reinstalled all of the fonts (cause I could not remember which one I had last) and Bam, I could get into my display settings.
This has been killing me for weeks!
Since I installed devoid froyo, the apps that I try to install from market web does not appear on my phone I have checked everything....and It should be Ok). What can I do?
Something else, I have noticed that, the apps which I uninstall on the phone, continue appearing on the "Downloaded apps" section on market app. They continue here, but instead of "Installed" they say "Free" (Just like a normal app that you have not installed)
thanks!

Go to Settings --> Applications --> Market. Clear Cache and Data for the app.
Try to install apps and let us know if it works.
Thanks m8. Well, I have done that, then reboot, and continues the two problems

If you use TitaniumBackup you can force attach an installed app to the market.

I broke my market before by deleting google talk . Try clearing the data on more google apps inc the download manager. maybe removing a market update may work too

Thanks dude for your suggest, but it continues! I dont understand why...I have tried everything and dont solve
Even the web market continues not working
I would back up what you need to and try a factory reset, thus if its a data problem it will all be cleared. I read about other people having the issue just needed to sign in to google talk (unfortunately for me I cant sign in, in england). If that doesn't work clear everything you can in recovery (except fat32 on the sd) and do a fresh install and try it with out making any adjustments to the rom. Check as you reinstall or delete things to find the fault. Android can be effected by odd things sometimes such as the wrong date or a error in the call log
Aaron, I think that If I do what you say, a complete wipe and fresh install, the bug would solved. But I think...is too much to do, copy all....backup...configurate again... and maybe I lose something, or any setting.....So I prefer continue with the bug and dont risk to install everything from 0
Thanks.
Titanium back up will save things like settings, call logs, and data with the apps (its just a pain to click install all the time) it has a batch back up and batch restore. But I suppose if you just restored everything you may re-introduce the fault. With CWM recovery you can do a advanced restore and select the partition you want to restore. Sorry I cant suggest anything more than wiping and deleting the gapps data
Dude I got the solution,
Even I was having the same problem.
Go to market > settings > filter
N select show all apps.
Thats it.
Reboot the phone n enjoy.
Press thanx if helped u.

Yes you are right, maybe it is the only solution so I would have to do it If I want to fix the bug...Thanks for the help
However I dont understand what you say about restore partition with CWM recovey, what would I get doing it? Well really does not matter because I use Amonra, I have tried both of them and I prefer Amonra much better

Have you tried installing any other third party apps
Ask us any Android Related Question @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter or @HowToMen
Do you have to check usb debugging checked?
I also have the same problem as he does on my Razr (910). My solution is to use on of the older fastboostfiles prior the 2.3.6 OTA update.

Are you using Screen Adjuster or any other app to correct screen color tint? If so, disable it and voilà.
Thanks for the replies. I ended up just using android injector to install what I needed and flashed the Axiom ROM and everything's straight now. Thanks again!

Hero !!! Fixed the problem, thanks ^^
I too have been having same issue but not using any of the apps listed here. Through a trail and error process of elimination, I was able to determine that the WhoIsIt app was the culprit.
When I could not click install on non-market apps (including Amazon) I did a force stop on WhoIsIt and bingo I was able to click install right away!!
Hope this helps others still having problems.

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.

Worked for me, my friend. Just thought I'd see if it could help others.
I also cleared my internal storage and reset my phone before the flash. As well, I have "automatic restore" in Backup and Reset, unchecked before I re-downloaded all my apps.
Thanks a lot !!!!!!!

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.

I don't know how many windows that I usually have open, but under normal use so far, I haven't had another redraw of my home screen. Give it a try, it only takes 2 seconds, my friend.

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.
Hi all,
Install Button disabled in Package installer screen.
I was using applanet application, suddenly I got the same
problem while installing 'Tasker'. Once I uninstalled

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..

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..
