Can't sideload apps

Hey guys,
Is anyone else having problems sideloading apps on the Amaze, even with unknown sources checked? Every time I try to install anything, I can only click "cancel" and not "install". It's quite frustrating. Thanks.

Interesting.
What apps are you trying to install?
Perhaps they're corrupted?
Try an adb push.
adb push appname.apk /data/app/
You may have to reboot but that might do the trick.
You can also try an apk installer (or manager).
These apps aren't (gasp) protected are they?

Alright, so here's the deal. Did a factory data reset thinking that it wouldn't do anything and it fixed the issue. Weird...

Yes
Having this problem now...
I just did a wipe to install beast mod and I am getting it. Wanted to try out Extended controls. 4Shared it and I can cancel but not install.
***EDIT***
Reboot and all is golden~

Don't know if it'l let you push to /data* anyways, instead I would try:
Code:
adb install appname.apk
Having this problem now with stock ROM with latest update and no root. It started all of a sudden. Although rebooting fixes the problem, it does so temporarily. This is also affecting installs from the Amazon App Store. Any ideas?

I have this problem with Amazon apps. I haven't tried anything else from the Market.
Restarting my phone fixes this problem for me but after a day or two it does it again.
I am running completely out of the box stock.
So yeah you're not the only one having this problem.
Possible Solution
Found the solution to my problem. Apparently when it's enabled, the Screen Filter app was preventing the side loading of applications. When I disable Screen Filter, I can side load my apps and the Amazon App Store installs applications normally. I no longer have to reboot. Hope this helps.

That would explain why restarting the phone solved the problem, temporarily.
Until of course we all enabled "Screen Filter" again and then it would stop working.
Testing that now.
I have a similar problem when running Lux Auto Brightness.
Disable Lux, sideload the app, re-enable Lux.

This is actually because of the application "Screen filter"
It's actually a security measure build into Android. It's so an application cannot 'trick' you into installing malicious software. (ie. let's say screen filter was hacked to swap the cancel/install buttons.. to make "cancel" appear as "install" etc)
Basically any app that overlays the entire screen disables the install button from working, for added security.
Thread moved to Q&A.

Is it cool if I revive this rather than making a new thread? :?
Hope so. lol
I just started having this problem tonight.
I often sideload apps and never have a problem..
But tonight I just tried, and suddenly I can no longer click the "Install" button after scrolling through permissions.
I can click cancel fine to go back..
but Install button just won't click.
(and I have no "screen filter" app anywhere.)
Running stock 4.2.2 on my GNex.
Help?!

Glovebox was the culprit

[Q] instagram

For instagram users!
Hi guys, do you have this kind of problem lately? (see attached photo)
Pictures have been distorted, specially when adding effects. It has those circles in the middle. It destroys the photos. I'm wondering if it's just me, or other SGA users also experience this. Thanks!
anyone?
Never till now..Tried re-installing the app?

I don't know how to do that because I'm using S2E. Anyway, something weird and unfortunate happened. I cleared data, uninstalled, then reboot. Then phone just had a loooooooooot of force close issues. Then removed battery, reboot again, phone won't f****ng start! Stucked on boot logo. Had to flash a nandroid back up, then installed instagram, updated it, then it's fixed again. Weird. But hey it was solved though!

Thinking of taking back my S3 due to force closes??

I've been getting too many force closes with my S3... It happens with many apps and sometimes it just gets stuck for like two minutes which I can't do anything until it comes back. Have you guys had any issues? I don't know weather to take it back or do a factory data reset...

Sounds like something you installed is causing it. Factory reset it. Force Closes are typically software related.
Its happened to me a couple of times as well on the gallery and tapatalk 2 app. It is few and far between so it doesn't affect me too much.

OK. I'm going to delete some apps that I don't use and restart. Maybe it's one of those... If not, I'll factory reset it.

If you have tried installing backups from a different rom or phone. That may be an issue too

I currently get on XDA through my app right now...just searching for a thread listing forever...and if I hit the profile option it force closes.
Worked fine for the last week but nothing now!
Happens to me a lot when running touchwiz launcher I am now using apex and have had zero crashes. Although with android its like windows you will get force close just like windows gets blue screens its just one feature of owning an android phone but it rocks.

I used to have this problem on my OG Incredible, (haven't yet had it on my S3) and I would usually solve it by uninstalling/re-installing or clearing data on the apps that would force close. If every app is FCing though then it may just be easier to Factory Reset.

Gmail app problem

I have no luck with Gmail app.
I tried clear cache already. But it will force close very frequency. If there is any way to fix it or anybody have the same issues?
Thanks
I used to have that problem a lot before, but recently it is stable. It might be when I changed io-scheduler, not sure though. I'm using ATP tweak to set it to "sio". I'm not using any of the other tweaks (tune.sh), but I also user brower2ram. Running .28 stock, locked, rooted.

No, but i think i will do it when they have new version coming out. Just don't want to setup the whole thing again.
I have the same problem.
I use FMR memory cleaner to clean the system sometimes it resolve the problem for few days.
It might be this:

Device Freezing & Device Crashing (Two different devices)

Hi,
My Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 are running the latest "Stock" Android Lollipop with latest SuperSu & Latest Xposed, I have 20~ odd modules and the same apps that were on my devices when they were both on Marshmellow on which neither of the devices were having issues.
- My Nexus 4 randomly turns off and randomly reboots.
- My Nexus 10 randomly freezes, but only the touchscreen. The actual applications still work fine in the background because if a program is running on screen like a youtube video for example, it will still continue to play.
As far as I can see there is no pattern to the issues, how can I correctly see the necessary logs to try and find out what is causing the issues?
Thanks
I experience this problem always. As far as I can see the only issue is xposed try to uninstall xposed and clear davrik and see the results
