Skype not installing - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I try to install Skype from the Market, it fails. The error message states that there is insufficient storage available. Other apps install fine though. Does anyone have any ideas?

Wipe your cache, uninstall a couple of apps that you are not using now ( possibly a big ones like 2 or 6MB), and install Skype.
Eventually you can try to reinstall the apps that you have removed previously.

You might not want to install skype at all:
It was flagged as a rogue app.

Wow.... luckily I am not using it...
Thanks for this!

You might want to use root explorer to make sure all components are deleted before trying to reinstall. Had same message with ebay update.
Do you BONSAI?

Cricket Huawei Ascend M860 Nandroid backup?

So, as of yesterday i am completely new to android, though a big tech head.
my typical approach tends to be break it now, and figure out how to fix it.. then if it breaks again you know what to do. haha..
i'm looking for a backup, i uninstalled google talk and of course had the associated problems with doing that, and am unable to repair it without another image.
Other Suggestions?
I tried all of the Clockwork mods available for similar devices and none work :-/ bad thing is, if it doesnt work I have to pull my battery out, meaning I have to take this damn two piece case off! Help us peeps of genius! Thanks
I am also looking for the ROM, as I deleted the Talk as well. I reinstalled Talk, but the Market still does not work. If anyone can help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
I think that I have found the ROM at:
Code:
huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=downloadFile&flay=software&fileName=37043&attachmentName=M860V100R001C153B251SP03.zip
EDIT: It is a very slow download!
EDIT 2: I have installed this and can confirm that it does work!
Ok so we download this but what can we do after we install this? This is just the recovery image right?

I have uploaded this and both informational files to my site. You guys may view then at:
Code:
muh****.com/downloads/
They have images with step by step instructions. I will not be hosting these files long, maybe a few weeks, as it will kill my bandwidth.
Oh, yes, it is only the factory image/rom/firmware. I was only doing this for the people that have messed up their phones and are needing to restore to the current factory settings. This is not the same as the phones restore, as that does not replace system files, but this does.
Thank you Xerxes
I'm just gonna download it just incase i mess up my phone in the future.

So does anyone have a ROM cooked up for this one yet? Or a reliable method to Root it? It is driving me bonkers that it constantly launches the crapware that came preloaded on it. It need to be cleaned, the bloat slows it to a painful speed...
Anyone? Why would it auto launch Uno? Help!

I have rooted mine twice without any issues, other than I deleted Google Talk the first time, using SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
EDIT: Also I bought SystemApp Remover, to remove Uno, midnight bowling and a few other things. It works great, once you are rooted. You have to hit the uninstall twice on some apps.
system app remover
if it says just uninstalls and not deletes... whats tha difference. also has anyone found a way to increase volume hrough headset/ I am rooted through z4root. also had no luck in installing clockwork mod recovery..
Uninstall means it removes it, and not just deleting the program. So it removes the settings that calls for it to run, and not just delete the program an leave the settings.

[Q] Can't install SOME non market apks

I have the option checked to install non market apps, but if I download wifi tether, for instance, from the dev's website, my phone will not even let me click on "install," though I can hit "cancel." I've tried this with a free other apks, such a Swype, volume+, etc. Some allow me to hit install and some do not.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Btw, rooted gnex, stock 4.0.2, vzw.

First, I want to thank you for posting your question in the appropriate place. By chance, are you running JuiceDefender? If so, there is a bug that sometimes does not allow a user to install non-market applications without a workaround (you will find it in settings when configuring JuiceDefender). If you're not running JuiceDefender, then I am not sure, sorry .

I'm not. And since my original post, while my phone was laying on the couch, something changed and now I'm able to install those apks I've downloaded. Someone at AndroidForums suggested I side-load apks from my computer, but my only means of wifi is from my phone and wifi-tether was one of those apks that wouldn't install, until just an hour ago. I've had this issue rooted, unrooted, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and it seems to come and go.
It seems no one else is posting about it anywhere that I can find, so if nothing else I wanted others to know that it is happening.

To see the thanks button you must NOT be on the classical theme of the forum. You can change that in UserCP.
if you have the screen filter app, disable it before installing the app....this did it for me. hope this helps

Chrome has stopped working on my S III after I rooted and flashed CyanogenMod 10.0.0

It opens up but will not load pages fully. Please help, if you need more information please ask. I like Chrome and don't want to switch. I've un-installed and re-installed Chrome a few times but it didn't work.
Try going into recovery and fixing permissions
Before doing that though, try clearing cache. Maybe even try one version back from the one you're on now

I went into ROM Manager and fixed permissions, I don't feel safe going into recovery and trying anything without specific instructions.
I also cleared the cache, but neither worked. Are older versions available in the play store?
Not through the play store...you could search for it online and sideload the apk
Do you know if chrome was updated recently? Because that may be the issue if it was

So you think that Google threw in a check to see if their ads are blocked in the hosts file, then disabled all browsing until you fix your hosts file? It seems to be going a bit far, in my opinion, and will just drive customers to use other phone browsers.

Tired of Hangouts? How to Get Back Google Talk.

Update:
12/1/2013
The tutorial below was tested with Android v4.2
I am not sure if it works with v4.3 and higher.
For those running 4.3 or 4.4, please feel free to offer any insight.
Thanks
I read where a lot of people don't like Google Hangouts, and would like to install Google Talk again. There are GTalk files available, but installing them proved to be unsuccessful for some, which prompted me to find out why.
Below is a short tutorial showing how to get Google Talk back back onto your device. I have no doubt others already know how to install GTalk on devices with Hangouts installed, but many don't, and after searching and not seeing a how to, I started this thread.
I've tested this successfully on my rooted T-Mobile M919. I've not tested this method on other devices, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for others.
1) download Google Talk:
http://d-h.st/9Uf
2) go to Titanium Backup
3) find Hangouts system app
4) make a backup of Hangouts
5) un-install Hangouts
6) reboot
7) using your file manager, find the talk.apk & install the package.
8) Enjoy
If you want to install Hangouts again, un-install Google Talk, reboot and
re-install Hangouts using TiBu.

Uninstall update is not an option in the Playstore. Only 'open' & 'uninstall'
In:
Settings
Application manager
All
I uninstalled updates but Hangouts remains in the app draw and Talk is not found.
If I've overlooked something, please let me know.
I'll reboot to see if that restores Talk.
Edit:
Rebooted, and Hangouts still there. No Talk.

That may be why. You already had Talk pre-installed.

Yeah, that's why -
If your ROM came with Talk, then you can uninstall updates and get back to Talk. Whereas, if your ROM came with Hangouts, then uninstalling update won't work.
(And here, by ROM I mean the ROM istels or GApps package you flashed. )
Just out of curiosity why do you like talk over hangouts? To me hangouts has everything talk had and more, not sure why I would want to go back.

Personally, I've used Talk very little and never tried Hangouts.
The reason I started this 'How to' thread was because I found others that had Hangouts wanted to install Google Talk like they used to have on other devices, but we're unable to install Talk. I looked around and didn't see any clear directions on how to do this, so by trial & error I figured it out and started this thread
With the above being said, I've read many who prefer Talk for its simplicity, in addition to being able to tell who is available for chat if they're on their pc etc. which you're not able to do with Hangouts. I'm sure there are pros & cons for both apps, and sometimes it may just come down to:
- those who are familiar with a service they've used for years (Talk) and figure it works well so why change it.
- If it 'ain't broke, why fix it?'
- the KISS Principle (keep it short & simple)
Others who have used both Talk and Hangouts will be able to offer more specifics
I don't like hangouts either. I have a modified talk apk somewhere on my computer that disables the stupid play store notification to update.

Google should listen to their customers and split Talk from Hangouts. The later seems aimed at teens and people who enjoy selfies.

I see you have a Sprint S4.
I just tested the tutorial again and I was able to install GTalk.
Follow the steps exactly.
If you still fail to install GTalk, as I mentioned in the op, I've tested this on an M919, not other devices. If you've followed the steps exactly, then there appears to be an issue installing GTalk on the Sprint S4.
Thanks a lot

Have a Nandroid just in case
I am using Samsung Galaxy S3 4.1.2. I never installed the update to GTalk from play store since it was going to replace it. Anyways I got a an OTA update of about 80mb I installed it and I got a software Play Games and my GTalk has been replaced with hangouts. From the app manager menu when I go to the hangout app it only shows the force stop and disable option and not the uninstall option. In the playstore it is showing me that there's an update to it. How can I remove this crap software? I cannot root due to warranty issues, sorry.

I did, it didn't work. It might something like Adaway that prevents it from working. Will do some further tests. Thanks for your comfirmation.
EDIT: After uninstalling Adaway and Xposed Framework, it still doesn't work. I will have to stick to the previous version. Please note, I'm on cm 10.2.1.3.
Unless you have other suggestions?
Regards,
I have the same problem with this version, I can't update because the app doesn't work, I've cleared the data, reboot and still it doesn't work, I have a stock nexus 5 with xposed but no modules have anything to do with youtube, if anyone knows what we can try please comment

First post. Hi I have xperia z1 havin same problem with this update seems if u go back to stock app (think thats what it's called) works fine but my phone keeps downloading the update on the fly.../ when they gonna fix it cuz im sick of uninstalling the app only to lose my history on youtube in the process, couple of good tunez dissipated in the mist of my mind
This update works just fine with cm11. I'll keep the old version for now and try again with the next.
I managed to fix it, what I did is turn google play services into a user app using titanium backup, then clear the data of youtube in the application section in settings that made the new update work after that I moved play services back to system app and everything is working ok now, you can try this and see if it works for you too
