Hi, on my Mini I'm missing menu for adding Shortcuts to Lock Screen. My son has the same version, the same baseband, android version etc. and has this menu. No root, latest OTA. Anybody has idea what to do, except hard reset?

Try drag an app from app drawer? Else try install QuickShortcutMaker from Play store

Hey guys, when I go to install an apk file, the "install" button cannot be pressed, but the "cancel" button can. I have used this method several times in the past and it has worked. I recently upgraded to Sense 6 on AT&T. My phone is completely stock (no rooting or unlocking). And yes my unknown sources button is checked. Hope this is a quick fix :/ I read somewhere else that "JuiceDefender" was causing that issue a while back but I use AVG and CM antivirus. So what could be the issue?
Thanks in advance!
App not compatible with os or phone model
Doesn't seem likely

I went and found a common app (instagram) from a 3rd party source and it would not let me install it either. ): I know instagram is compatible with my phone and OS.
figured it out

I read about how some apps that messed with the screen brightness may affect the ability to install new apps. I deleted apps until I came across the problem: Echo Lock screen. My package installer is now working again.
Hello all,
I'm having a bit of an issue where I can't download or update anything from play store or anywhere else really. Things start downloading and then when they near completion and get to about 98%, they get stuck there and eventually give an error that they cant download. It's only happening on my new Lollipop install. I flashed the 23.1.A.0.726 ftf file on an unlocked bootloader and i am running it on Androplus advanced stock kernel v2.
I've not has this issue on a similar version of kitkat that I currently have a back up of on the same phone. \I'm just bouncing between the two when i get some time to try and fault find the lollipop version. Obviously I want to move to the lollipop version permanently but i will only do that when I've sorted out this issue.
I cant seem to find anyone having the same issue. I've tried the following methods but they didn't work....
First.
Quick toggle pull down
Settings
Apps
Swipe left to the "all" catagory
Scroll down till you find "Google Play Store"
Force stop
Clear data
Now try the play store
If that doesn't work
Try
Quick Toggle pull down
Settings
Scroll down to accounts
Tap Google
Tap your account
Tap the settings menu (three dots in the upper right)
Remove Account
Back out to the settings screen
Add Account
Google
Sign in with your Google account
Does anyone have any other possible solutions to this or know what the hell maybe going on?
Thank you!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a look in system apps and both of these are there and unfrozen.
I'm actually trying to run LP 5.0.2: Massive DEBLOATING/23.1.A.0.726 custom FW for Z3C -all working (xposed etc) by moly82. I've tried a full wipe and install via recovery and still i cant get any apps to actually fully download and install. They all get to 99%and then never install for some weird reason.
did you finally solved somehow your problem?
try to flash the latest ROM from moly82 (v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161
Update: Samsung has fix the problem in a recent update. So this is no longer needed.
Steps:
• First go to setting apps and Find Samsung Updates or if you added the Essentials widget click on that, then click the recent app button and hold the Samsung Update icon.
•Once on the app info page click force stop then clear data.
•Go to here: apps.samsung.com/mars/mw/apk_en.as?COUNTRY_CODE=USA&CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000279 and download the app.
•Then once downloaded install it and it should install.
Now you can find the app in the app drawer and it is the newest one with lollipop looks and feels!
If the one does not work try the other one like reinstall if you did not hit that one or phone.
I managed to get TWRP installed and a custom ROM with no ads installed, but there is still a full screen ad on the lock screen. Does anybody know how I can get it off there?

Usually a factory reset is needed after flashing a no ad rom. Try that.
Can you post steps you took to flash it or link me to steps so that I can do it on mine.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with "Portrait mode only" settings. After I turned OFF "Portrait mode only" setting, my phone is NOT able to rotate to Landscape mode.
I already tried to reboot my phone after changed the setting.
Can everyone help me on this situation? Thanks.

You can try to:
A) clear data/cache for the launcher (beware, this will restart the launcher as it's new unset one = all shortcuts removed!)
B) from the apps menu, select the launcher and "uninstall updates" that will revert it to the one it was shipped with. Then you will update the application to the newest version via playstore. This will also restart the launcher
Also be sure that autorotation is on, I am pretty sure you already checked that, but to point it out anyway.

Thanks, high_voltage.
I just tried your suggestion A. It still doesn't work. For your suggestion B, I am not able to uninstall the update of the Launcher. I am using "Samsung Experience Home" version 9.0.12.4. I think it is the latest version as I see the text "The latest version is already installed" in About menu.

Rotation works otherwise, right?
Really strange. Reset will fix it for sure, but outside of that I am out of ideas what to try. Mine works and see for the first time someone complaing for this. Software update if any is also worth a shot.

Thank you so much. I just cleared cache/data of the launcher again and now it works.
