Can't install 3rd party apps - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Yes 'unknown sources' is checked... But I can't install the Amazon app store or an apk downloaded from another thread here on xda. All stock here, and hoping I do not have to factory reset my device.
Does anyone know what app or how to change that security level in the attached screenshot? I can click it and change it to 'Normal' but it immediately reverts back to 'high'. I have never seen this setting before and I myself did not set it to 'high' at any point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try rooting?

Wow, I racked my brain for over a week trying to figure it out, appears an app from the Play Store was to blame.... Thanks anyway.

New market app updating

I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?
Thanks,
SF

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

Just found an easier way : I moved vending app from /data/app to sd, pushed it back, changed permissions and rebooted and everything is fine. Thanks for taking time to answer

I am going to try this in ES File Explorer, I have run into this same issue. How exactly did you set the permissions?

In es explorer, long press on the file and select properties. They'll be a button there to change permissions

Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly. I know how to get in there & change the permissions. What I was wondering is how they need to be set. Is it RW-R--R--? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't have to do this very often & want to make sure I do it correctly.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

Market links apps that have been downloaded&installed outside market.how to stop it?

Market links apps that have been downloaded&installed outside market.how to stop it?
Hi,
This has been Bugging me for a while now... I'm a confident android user... and have had my HTC desire for over a year and a half, and now have an Asus transformer...
Basically, I have an app that I didn't download and install from the market, however, the market says that I have "purchased" the app and gives me a download button. If I click it I get an error message. An app in question is setCPU, I have downloaded it from xda, but now would like to buy the app to support the developer and get market updates.. at the moment this seems impossible for me to do... It is linked to my account as "purchased" even though I haven't actually purchased it...
This is the same with another app that I downloaded a while ago, and now I have some spare cash I would like download the app, get updates, and more importantly support the developer...
Also, PIRACY IS BAD, THESE ARENT PIRATED APPS.. SUPPORT DEVELOPERS!
Sorry for long post, and any mistakes, I wrote all this on my phone...
Hopefully someone can help me...
Many thanks,
Matt

In fact that didn't work for me... I uninstalled it via the market and it just said purchased... I then clicked install and it gave me an error...

I googled and found this
- Unlink the app from the market with titanium backup (long press on the app in titanium backup), uninstall the app
- Go to app setting menĂ¹ and click on market apk, here you have to clear data/cache and uninstall the update
Now if you have the last market version installed by default, you have to download and install the previous version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743249&d=1318041888
Now you have to find the app you want to buy on the old market before the phone update it again (if the app price is different don't worry, they will charge you the real price). Do this for every app you want to buy

thanks a lot... This has half worked.. I purchased the app, an got the order receipt email, but then market has stopped working, and is force closing. I will have to go back to the up to date market, download the app, then back to the old market and so forth... I'm actually fixing permissions at the moment, whih i doubt will help, but worth a shot!
anyway, thanks so much dude...!

Google Play "Missing Apps" Issue (AGAIN!)

Hello,
My problem is identical to the one show here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377514
Basically, when you go to "My Apps" in google play, it just says "Applications and Games owned by this account will appear here."
I am unable to download previously purchased apps.
I have tried ALL the solutions on that thread to no avail.
It happened after I upgraded my Rom to a newer version (hydrogenics 23/03 to 25/03) but I doubt it is ROM related, since flashing back to the backup of my 23/03 rom does not resolve the problem.
My Google Play app is on the latest version (3.5.15) which is supposed to solve this issue.
I am really desperate and at a loss. Anyone can help?
I would be super super grateful for any form of help.
No one can help?

[Q] Apps won't download when started from playstore website

Hi all,
I have googled, searched and even called Google themselves but I cannot start a download from my desktop browser and have it install on my phone.
Phone does nothing at all, sits there pretending I haven't asked it to do anything.
The app will appear in My Apps in the play store and I can download and install from the device directly.
I've followed the guidelines on Google website, signing out of talk etc but still no luck.
I did manage to make it work by going back to stock, then flashing SuperNexus but within four days it's broken again.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this and how to resolve it?
Try using a different Google account to setup the phone then sign in on the Web

Remove the Google account from the phone, reboot and log in again.
Thanks for the tips but still no joy.
Google refuse to help because I'm rooted!
So when you open play store, it doesn't start automatically?

I sometimes have the same problem. Toggling WiFi or data off then back on seems to do the trick usually.

Nope, sits there doing nothing as if I haven't touched a thing.

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

Lost my icons

I'm running CM10.1 I lost most of my icons. However the apps are still there becuase I can see them in the "Manage Apps" .
I have camera, messaging, internet, gallery, settings. Nothing else... Any ideas how to get them back?
Thanks!

What he means is to use a different program as your homescreen. Like apex launcher which you can find on the play store. However your problem actually is that when you installed CM10.1 all your apps where on your internal sdcard and CM10.1 defaults to your external if you have one. You have to change some line in the build.prop to sdcard0 instead of sdcard1. I'll go into more statistics later but have to work right now.

Ok thanks! I am looking a free launchers 'Go Launcher EX' and'Apex Launcher'. I will try to reinstall one later.
I did not change any source code. I was playing with manage apps trying to conserve battery... and they disappeared. but I turned everything back on and they're gonzo.
Go back to work dude! Thanks !

i installed the 'Go Luancher EX' and now the button in the play store says installed (instead of install). But I cannot find it. And I still have no icons.Theonly way I can find some apps (not all), is to use the google search at the top of the home screen.

When you managed apps, did you move any apps to the SD card?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
not that I am aware of...
when I click on manage apps in the
SD card: is poweramp and viper android fx
running: settings, poweramp, viper, dsp manager, keyboard
all: big list...
I did click "reset app preferences"... didn't do anything
When you lost your apps, did you just flash CM10.1?

a couple of days later... I noticed that the battery was drainin quckly and asked for help in the forum. They said to use manage apps.So I did that to disable some apps and then it happened.But since then I re-enabled them and rebooted and still have never go ttem back.

When you disable an app, it no longer shows up on your homescreen, and you can only do that for system apps or apps flashed in the ROM you installed. Is there any other information as I am trying to diagnose your problem
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Any way to turn one of those back on? I guess buy disabling it then it does not appear in the "ALL" section of the manage apps? Oups
I can go into the file manager and navigate to the SD card. I find the CM 10.1 zip file but when I click on it to reinstall it says "There is no application registered to handle the type of file selected". I guess I used to have something that could install directly from a zip file....
I don't mind reinstalling cm10.1 if that would fix it... but how?
i rebooting into recovery mode and I'm reinstalling CM10.1... see if that helps
I installed cm10.1 and gapps... its still the same
success... I was looking at the apps and I know trebuchet is the default launcher. I took a chance and clicked on the clear data.... and then all the icons came back...weird eh? wooohooo! thanks everyone for your help
