I am trying to update an application from android market. Every time I try to update.. Android Market app downloads the apk and then say something like "Application can't be installed because of some application signing issue".
My question is
Where are the apk's downloaded before isntalled?
Can I copy the apk before i get the error message?

You probably have a version on your phone that you didn't download from the Market. To solve that you need to uninstall that version that you have on your phone and the install the one from the Market.
Hi all,
I wish to try certain apps from Google Play but they show as "Device not compatible" and won't let me install the app.
Is there a way to bypass this?
Thanks.

What you can do is what as known as sideloading the app's apk file. To do this first you will need to find the .apk file for the app you want to install by searching online (Only search for free apps online never sideload paid apps without first having purchased the app and/or contacting the developer of the app first) then once you have the app's apk file transfer it to your phone. Once it's on your phone make sure that the install from unknown sources option is checked under System Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources. After you have done that navigate on your phone to where you transferred the app that you wanted to install's apk file then click on the app and it will ask you if you want to install the app. After the app is finished installing you are good to go and the app should be ready for you to use. Let me know if you still have questions!
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried sideloading but usually if the app gets updated regularly or requires the most recent update to work (ie. King's Bounty) that is where I come unstuck.
Just trying to find a way to "trick" Google Play to think that my phone (S Advance) is compatible with all apps.

The other options you could try is using the app Market Helper or Market Enabler that allows you to spoof your device and trick's the Play Store into letting you download apps that the Play Store claims are "incompatible with your device".
When I try to install an app it says app not installed. I have tried signing the app, changing the version number and can't get it to work. I have tried installing apks I have downloaded and patched apks from lucky patcher and nothing works. So is there something that doesn't allow the phone to install modified apps?
I can't install samsung keyboard apk on my samsung galaxy s9+
Are you trying to install a new version of an apk that's already on your phone? If so, can you uninstall the older version first?
it is Android 8.0 security features. Google removed install unknown source. You need to give specific permission to file browsers or apps that does the install - for example, if you have app, copy to your phone, and open Samsung File, and click to install.

Yeah I did that to allow installs from Samsung file browser and lucky patcher but still not installing. It let's me push the install button and starts the process then says app not installed. I made sure that the previous version is not installed and reset the phone but still not working
Yeah I have allowed installs from the apps I am using to try to install and there isn't a previous version on the phone I made sure to uninstall the app and restart the phone after and still not allowing the install. It starts the install then says app not installed

the app you trying to install, unmodified one, go apkmirror.com and search for it, it should list different version, some apps has arm and arm64 version, download it to your phone, and install it.
your s9/s9+ are arm64

Emm nobody?
Samsung blocked sideloading most of it's system apps. Nothing you can really do about it.
Replace app with tutuapp
Your Android application may not be suitable for them. What you need to do now is:
Try updating Android, otherwise you go to the store by reinstalling your device, but this is very time consuming and costly. You can also use tutuapp android (visit tutuappplus.net to download) this free app store that helps me use great apps for Android.
Hi Everyone,
So apparently after updating my XA2 Ultra to android 9.0 I am unable to install the themes I used
via APK. I read on the internet that this is something Sony is disabling for some reason.
Does anyone know a way to install a theme using the APK file and not from the Google Pay store?
Every time I try to Install them It just tells me that it couldn't be install and that's it.
Any help will be appreciate it.
Thanks everyone.

Hi,
I used to have the same problem, for *some* APKs even on 8.0. What i did (not sure what caused the problem, actually) was:
1) Enable unknown sources via dev. menu
2) Disable the Play Protect and built-in antivirus(es), e.g. AVG
3) Disable app checking from Google options (this might be tricky, because the app itself didn't show me this option, bit it came up eventually, don't remember how, i think when you try to install the .apk via ES or some other file explorer.)
Now it gives me the "App not installed" or "Unable to install" only when i try to update an app that was not originally installed from the Play Store, but (for example Aptoide or other Black Market store) it can be remedied by simply uninstalling the old app and install the new one.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
