Won't Install Third Party Apps Suddenly - LG Optimus G Pro

I already have Unknown Sources checked. I was able to download third party apps in the past. Now when i try to install third party apps, on the installation screen it will not let me press the "install" button and nothing happens. So i have to press the "cancel" button. Anybody else experience this and know whats wrong?

Check your apps page. How much space do you have left?

I got 15gb free.

If you installed screen adjuster, turn it off. It is a bug of the app.

what exactly do you mean by a screen adjuster app? An app that gets you new wallpaper, a app that adjusts brightness, or an app that adjusts the color/gamma? Which one?

How bout a reboot?
When you open an apk file to install the app, do you get a list of options of which installer to use?
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk 2

I power off my phone often and that has no effect.
yes. When you open the apk you get a list of which installers to use. I tried both installers and i could not get any third party apks to install.

Awesome!!! I couldn't figure this out for the life of me. I had to manually update my Note 3 to Kit Kat in which it wiped my phone, so I lost a bunch of 3rd party apps that I needed to reinstall. One of the new apps my buddy recommended during the in between time of me setting back up my phone was called "Twilight", a app to take the blues out and allow for more dimming of the screen for a better sleep before bed because of all those new studies saying the screen messes with melatonin levels and causes technology hangovers lol. A quick uninstall of that app and bam, it let me press the install button.

Task Manager randomly stops working + Wifi toggle issues

Hi guys. I'm on Cleanrom 4.7.0 and Nova Prime. 2 problems: Every once in a while my task manager won't function. I'll long press home and it will give me Haptic feedback but nothing will show up. Occasionally (I've only noticed this happen while I'm inside an app) the task manager will appear for a split second and then disappear. This is fixed by a restart but it's getting really annoying as it happens quite often.
Second problem: my Wifi and mobile hot spot toggles (top row in notification dropdown) will stop being clickable (I can neither turn them off or on.) I can long press them to enter their settings and turn each one on from there, but the toggles themselves don't work. This also fixes itself via restart.
Anybody have any ideas?
have you tried fixing permissions Or wiping dalvik cache?

I've noticed that task manager doesn't lways work great in certain apps.. I just click the home button, long press the home button to bring up task manager and delete the unwanted apps, then reopen the app you were in. The process takes literally 2 seconds.

When it stops working it doesn't matter if I'm in an app or not. I've gone to the application manager and closed all apps then tried again, still nothing on the long press. I'm hoping that wiping the cache and fixing permissions did the trick

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?

I never had much use for it. I keep Google Music, TuneIn Radio and PowerAmp widgets on my music page. I use them as needed.
My issue with page buddy was that it "intelligently" decided what apps to show based on what you used the most frequently (or recently?) while in that mode and didn't give you option to manually add apps to the page.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I never really used Page Buddy on my Note 2. That was partly because I didn't really find it too useful and also because I used Nova launcher, which automatically got rid of Page Buddy since it was a function of the Touchwiz launcher.
Spotify, PowerAmp as music widgets. Nothing else matters.

I hated page buddy lol. It was the first thing I turned off on my note 2. I was glad that it wasn't on the note 3
Ok for what it matters.....
I could have sworn I froze some kind of page buddy thing with Ti backup.....so after some thought...I went back into Ti backup and sure enough....I froze something called "pagebuddyNotiSvc 1.0" dunno if thats what youre looking for but it is frozen on my note 3.
Peace

im not rooted, but i did disable that as well in application manager. as i recall, when i plugged in my headphones, instead of the full page buddy from the note 2, i got a row of "audio apps" in the notification tray. since turning this off, that has since gone away. not sure what other functions are included with this besides the headphone triggered stuff. useless feature, IMO.

Location

Everytime I unlock my note 2 the location icon comes up literatly every time, If I lock the device and then unlock it 10 seconds later its there, I can understand doing it if it was 15 mins or so.
Would this be an app doing this or is it just a samsung thing? Is there a way to tell or does everyones phone do this?

check if you have some weather app which refresh itself everytime you unlock the screen.
this is not samsung thing, I faced the same thing with some weather apps
I only have two weather apps, BBC and notification weather bother are set as 2 and 4 hours refresh time. Any other clues or apps I can find out using this?

Most likely an app and unless I do a lot of digging (I can't remember the apps name) I would shut off GPS unless needed... Essentials there is an app that can observe your wake lock behaviors and determine what the culprit is (I.e. which app is causing the GPS to trigger).. No one can really help you figure out a solution without knowing this info either... Do some research and see if you can't figure it out as I will in spare time try my best to point you in a better direction

Thank you for the honesty I have had a look at some apps and most weather have hour refresh rates. I thoght automate it could of been it but force closed it and it isn't that app either. Dont know why so many apps are allowed access to this stuff when they don't need it.

i was going to ask if you are using tasker- automate is a lot like it.....but it seems you have eliminated that possibiltiy

I do read them but unless you want the app what can you do? Heck if I read them I would only proberbly have one or two apps installed as all apps ask for loads of permissions they don't need at all that's what I meant.
Anyway found the app, sense v2 flip clock thought it looked the best out of all the look alikes. Gone back to beautiful widgets now and ain't had the location thing back yet. Strange because there is an option to update upon unlocking and I had unticked that so I guess it ignores your preferences.

How about you disable few third party apps you think can be the reason one by one. I know it's daunting but will help for sure.

Strange thing was there's a 3 dots(settings option) on the top right hand corner, it has 2 option, "turn off fast charging and about". I turned off the fast charging it went away. Finally, I can't stand that charging splash screen.
