Can no longer custom install standalone apks? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

they download fine but when I press it to install the install button just doesn't press, like it's greyed out.
Any help? The only thing that happened was google store sort of updated itself (even when I rolled back updates) and it just re-installed itself.
Any quick fixed to this? Can't install APKs off aptoid or BMA

AS Nabs actually it was a screen filtering program (read it in some other random thread after I had exhausted all options)! I turned it off and wallah. Insane really! Out of the blue! I think it happened after play store updated itself (that too out of the blue)

yes, i cant deny this, im also having same problem, but only when i try to update all my app (already installed app), it said 'starting download' and nothing. then i try updating it 1 by 1, and its work..did you have 3.4.7?if you already have this version and the problem not fixed, maybe you can go 'clear cache' of google play in manage application..
Thx for the APK. The new market is super fast now! I replaced Market 2.3.6. I kinda had to shoehorn this APK into my Froyo Bumblebee v2.4 ROM on LG VM670 since it didn't want to sideload properly.
-Use Titanium Backup to Backup your version of Market then uninstall Market 2.3.6
-rename the Google Play APK to vending.apk
-use RootExplorer to mount / as r/w
-copy the new vending.apk to /system/apps
-change permission to rw-r-r--
-reboot phone
The new Google Play APP icon didn't change (could be the Glow Legacy Theme I use with ADW), it stayed the same as the original Market Icon but the new market works.
NOt full version
I have this version of the market I can download only apps because the other tabs/option are not present on x10 mini.

Why you remove compatible chek on Gplay aka Marked ?
How do you think ? User informed not supported app or bypassed this and download looots of **** who is not work (ie HD games on Mini ) or left stuff before download coz they are uncompatible?
I download for example Zinga Poker , yeah its work but its out of screen
Anyway back to stock G-play
And + for the nice try.
PS : Auto update not work like already reported just one by one .

it fixed the compatible check, thats mean, you can download loads of apps, but for our devices, which is in qvga, not all apps will ok when running.
auto updates now working for me, need to update it one by one..
Not working here. Still doesn't appear country restricted apps like Play Music (Google Music).
I'm outside US/Canada and I wish someone can mod Play Store so we (outside) can browse music, books and video stuff.
I can do this but I need to start WiFi hotspot on my laptop, through Hotspot Shield, clear Play Store data, and then access to full market.
Will be possible to mod this restrition?

Thanks But Unfortunately Didnt Work So I'm Stuck.
You can try removing your account from your device and then sign in again. I get this problem quite frequently on my Note , and Sgs2. I believe removing your account from any Android device requires you to format it.

Uninstall the updates of the Play store from "Manage Apps". Or replace your current "Vending.apk" from system/app with a 2.x version of market . Then everything should work. Don't worry, it will be updated to Play Store in few minutes.
go into settings select apps then look for market select it n clear data, iftht still dont work u can just download the file apk from the internet

Chinese notification

I hope somebody can give me some advice on this cos it's driving me potty, I keep getting notifications on my phone and they are in chinese (see screenshots), clearing them is no problem but I'd like to know if there's any way of blocking them, it's not a text or email, just a notification and a little picture of a star at the top of my screen, any suggestions welcomed thanks

Try downloading some antivirus app from Market. Maybe it finds something.
And where can I get that wallpaper?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Its some sort of adware.Get that Dr web lite and it'll soon find the app that contains the adware.

The notification appears because you have installed an app with airpush advertisements in your phone.
Install this and do a scan on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5icm9zbWlrZS5haXJwdXNoZGV0ZWN0b3IiXQ..
Then uninstall the aplication that came out with the result and rate developer with 1 star on google play. (this usually gets the developer to react, if alot of 1 star ratings are received)

Try "addons detector". However that's not a generic ad so it may not detect anything. You just have to go through your recent installed apps and running processes to figure out which app is the culprit.

Have you installed any apps recently right before you started getting the chinese notifications? That would probably be the culprit. I would start uninstalling recent apps and that might solve your issue

I flash different roms all the time and use titanium to restore my apps, come to think of it I only have this issue with the rom I'm using for my daily (perfect galaxy), can't imagine it's a problem with the rom but I think I'll dual boot it and monitor it for a couple of days, I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for everybody's comments

when you get the notification Spam don't remove it yet:
Settings > under system tap on {} Developer options > check USB Debugging
connect the phone using a usb to your computer
open adb shell
Code:
adb shell dumpsys notification
copy the output and save it to a text file, post it here
i'll tell you which app is spaming.
I FIXED MINE!!
the KEY: notification monitor function in addons detector
leave it on and wait a day or so till you get the notification
I used to get bunch of Chinese ads
addon detector showed me exactly which program caused it
it was a hacked version of game I have downloaded... got rid of it and the ad was gone...
thanks guys

Why don't you download your apps directly via play store? And is it a problem to simply reboot your phone? Anyway, as far as I know, this is the way google works, no matter which phone or which android Version you are using, you will have to reboot your phone to download the apps.

Nope, that's not the way Google works, whenever i choose something on my pc it gets automatically downloaded when i connect my phone to the internet, no issues.
Maybe you can check if you got the Play-service running in the background or not. It usually runs directly after a reboot, that's why the downloads come through, but maybe it gets killed by a taskkiller or something like that.

Play Store - Update all at once

Hi!
When I have multiple updates at Play Store, when I hit the update button, it only downloads one them (sometimes 2), and the others keep showing "downloading"...
Any help?
Thanks!

Wipe data/factory reset the playstore
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Playstore
Will check this! Thanks!
It happens to me to, but never think of it as a problem.
I cancel download and start it again.
Sometimes one by one.
