[Q] ICS 4.0.3 - suddenly no unknow sources can be installed! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello!
i got an lg optimus 4x hd which has worked pretty fine along with the ICS 4.0.3.
A few days ago I noticed that suddenly, I were not longer able to install aps from "unknown sources". the box is checked in settings, but there is no way to install external software.
i can tell you which apps are running in background (because i ve read that intelliscreen-app has been reported to cause this error, too):
-settings
-k9-mail
-setcpu
-handcent sms
-taschenlampe
-temp+cpuv2
-business calendar
-lux
-dropbox
-mail
-greenpower premium
-software update (LG)
-google services
-wetter
-swift key 3
and none of them has changed in the last few days, i have deleted every single new app I had installed before.
does anyone know more?
yours, david

Are you rooted? Doing a fresh install with wipe of your ROM should fix it.

Yes i m rooted, but that s what i absolutely want to avoid, resetting and wiping the phone.
There must be other ways...

okay, i see. i used to do it, too, but in the past everytime I restored my saves from backup-application, it used to reinstall also the bad apps and program errors.
is there a way to do a soft reset, just factory reset without deleting anything important? would it help?

No, your better off if you don't even backup the apps. Doing a fresh install on everything is better.

[Q] App stuck 'installing' in Market

Hello,
Got the 'apps stuck on installing' problem with the Market on new 2.1 firmware. I've read in other posts that it's possible to fix this by clearing the Market cache and data. However, on the X10 it's only possible to clear the Market cache and this doesn't seem to fix it.
Anyone found another way to fix (because I stupidly uninstalled the 'stuck' apps from the Apps Management settings menu and now I can't reinstall them )?
Generally enjoying 2.1, though (Angry Birds! )
Thanks!
I had this happen last week with a number of apps (all stuck at "Installing") at once. There was no option to cancel, and rebooting didn't help. Eventually, I just re-flashed my firmware (and added JIT to boot).
Knock on wood... so far so good.
errase all data of google, restart. click on market put ur data , must be fix it. thats wut i did

I tried deleting the Google account from within 'Settings->Accounts & Sync' but the X10 told me that other apps were using this account and the only way to remove it was to factory reset the phone. How did you erase all your Google data?

I was really hoping not to have to do that - it's taken a while to get the X10 running something like I want it after the 2.1 update
Download the apk from somewhere else of the thing you installed thats stuck and install it. That restarted the one I accidentally uninstalled while updating it
In my case fixed with reflashing, nothing else was helpful

Have you rooted your X10? If so, make sure ou install and use Titanium Backup. If you keep your backups up-to-date, re-flashing is a minor inconvenience as you can restore (almost) everything to the way it was.
No, I've not rooted it. Generally I just use the phone and apps and don't try to do anything too techy with it. Is it still worth rooting (apart from to use Titanium Backup?)

Have you tried clearing the cache and the settings for the Play Store? When I get Play Store errors, that usually works for me.
Yes i tried multiple times. Thanks anyway.

You might revert to gingerbread Rom first. Use Rom which has an updated market. Worked for me when I use dhd

1-Wipe market data and force close
2-Wipe Google services Framework data and fc
3-Reboot to recovery and fix permissions
4-Then reboot
I had solved the same issue by doing these. I hope it works for you
I already did this..and it didnt helped.

I was getting an error when I first flashed ics but it was a purchasing process error, I came across a thread in the kindle fire section that instructed the same^, it did work but only temporary for me, after a couple times it stopped working all together. However I noticed a comment by mrdeli in there considering the possibility of playstore having issues syncing with multiple devices on the account (seen in another thread mentioning the same as well) So I checked my devices in the Play Store and it showed my hero as last used instead of my 3d so I went back to my phone in accounts sync, deleted my google acc and signed back in ... So far so good w/no errors. I do realize that's a different error message I had but perhaps it might work

Update, I stand corrected, I just flashed 4ext recovery and got the error again. The acc delete and sign in didn't work. I did end up having to go back into recovery to fix permissions and it worked again, I apologize for any added confusion

no copy/paste since firmware update

hi i updated to the latest firmware earlier and since then the copy paste function crashes in any app, anyone else have this.
What firmware version are you running? I have no updates pending and I'm also not having any copy/paste issues.
What version and with which network?
Also are you rooting or running a custom rom?

Did this resolve the problem?
Did a factory reset work?
I'm also having issues with cut/copy/paste. It just force closes the app, no matter what app I use it in.
Running stock XXALE8 on O2 in UK, rooted with CF-Root v6.2.
Edit: Factory reset cured it for me too. Hopefully it stays fixed!
Hi yes it cured it for me
Hi everyone,
I also had this problem, I found a solution without do a factory reset.
The app in question is TestService.
First you have to clean the directory /data/clipboard, delete everything in it with root explorer. After that, go to manage applications and find the app TestService, uninstall the updates.
After a reboot, copy/paste should work again.
What does uninstall the updates means? Clear data or uninstall? How do you install it back?
Hi
I have the same problem.
Stock version no root I9300XXLF2
any other solution without do a factory reset?
I'm not root.
Thanks

Brilliant!!! Worked like a charm!!!
Anyone know a way of fixing this without factory resetting when you're not rooted?
Really annoying!! I've already flashed the latest O2 firmware and the latest unbranded firmware, and both had the same problem.
Thanks.
Just noticed this happen myself because I updated the App called Clipper that I use but forgot to start it and I copied some text and wasn't saved in the clipboard, but because Clipper replaces the clipboard I would have never noticed.

I just installed Clipper and it didn't fix it, so I don't think it replaces the clipboard, just integrates with it.

**Insufficient Space** Problem

I have been using the RAZR XT910 for over a month now. Lately I've been facing this problem of : 'There is insufficient space on this device', whenever I try installing an application from the market. My phone has over 3.5GBs of installation memory still free. Dowloaded APKs install fine. What could possibly be the problem that is hindering the installation of market applications? Kindly suggest a remedy soon. Thank you developers.!!

I've had this problem before, occurs usually as a cause of com.(appname).ODEX files in the root of your device`s system/app. Lucky Patcher fixes this for you but you need to be rooted
hey mate I have the same problem check my thread if u can find anything that suits you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709970
I am still not rooted but I will root when ICS arrives so I haven't tested any of these suggestions yet

Not sure what the problem is but you could always make a backup hard-reset and see if the problem is still there, you can use AppExtractor to restore programs from the CWM backup.
Performed a hard reset. The problem still persists.. What next? Please provide an alternative, guys!! Thank u.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
I have the same problem and I am waiting for ICS in hope for fix...
hmmm maybe try
1) Wipe Dalvik cache via CWM + clear market data via the stock App Manager?
2) Uninstall any market updates and perhaps try again?
3) I'll try think of other solutions in meantime..
Try clearing the data for the market app and see if that might help. It's possibly a cache issue.
Have you installed a LOT of apps over the past month or so?
Mobzter : Thank you for the suggestion and thank you to all the members above for their suggestions!!
I have been able to fix the problem, in the meantime...
1)Downgraded to 2.3.5 using SPYDER Fastboot ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362956
2)Manually upgraded to 2.3.6 (and not via MotoHelper interface) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534729
3)Rooted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492965
No 'Insufficient Storage' problems so far, hoping for the best!
Others can try the above method too!! Can't guarantee for any permanent fixes though, but I think this'll work..

I tried all possible ways of clearing caches and uninstalling updates (market), but nothing helped!! Moreover, I do not have much apps installed (just about 25?). I guess problem might have originated while upgrading to 2.3.6 over the internet...
Look at my post above. I suggested a possible fix for the problem!! Worked for me.
If you have any gameloft games or games in general (like N.O.V.A 3 etc big games) I recommend this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&hl=sv
you need to be rooted!

I have a Moto RAZR V, running Android 4.0.4. I rooted, and alls good, cept I can't install barely any apps due to "Insufficient" space... A 320KB app won't install, but Amazing Alex HD will

Won't install. Insufficient space. (75K app )
Is there some way to manually install an app?
Did I mention that my phone WILL NOT work with any form of App2SD? Like, it is literally DISABLED.
EDIT: Fixed the "Insufficient space" issue, but still can't App-2-SD.
How did I fix?
1. Downloaded Link2SD (root)
2. Clicked Menu > Settings
3. Tapped "Install Location" > Automatic
4. Installed APK from Store/Download, no issue anymore.

[Q] Unfortunately, Foursquare has stopped.

Could someone help me? I faced this problem after I removed Google Play Services, cause I didn't know that it is neccessary for Foursquare. After FS told me this info at the next start of the app, I reinstalled Play Services but FS have never worked anymore... It stops right after the start of the app. I wiped everything (factory reset, cache, dalvik), removed every related data and FS, but none of them helped... (( This was with version 2013.04.02. If I downgrade to the february version, it works again, but if I update to one of the april version, it stops again and again... :'( I would be very grateful if someone could help me, I ran out of ideas. :/
