While trying to re-arrange my icons in the apps folder I accidentally remove the "Clock" app. I wanted to place it on the same line as the Calendar and Calculator apps above it and somehow remove instead. This clock app was already in the S6 and was not download by me!
TIA!
You probably just disabled it. Check in application manager, swipe to disabled and enable it from there

Does not appear in the Application Manager - only the dual clock shows up! Not the Clock with the stop watch, etc...
Are you rooted?
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
No, no rooted! This is my first Android phone! I still finding that you have to manually have manage the memory and such. Very shocking!
Do I need to download an App to help me with restoration of the disable Clock App?
Try manually checking to see if there is an OTA available and see it it will install the app in the process. If not, then flash the latest stock firmware from one of the general threads. And you really don't have to manually manage memory. I don't, I let Android do it

In Applications > Edit, there is a small minus next to each app to uninstall it. Does it remove the app data as well? If yes, does it always do that? Is it the same as going to Settings > Applications > Manage and removing the app+data?
Nope deleting apps via application>settings method is better way

The install from unknown sources is ticked, package installer opens but the install button won't work, the cancel button does!

Try updating to 4.2.2 android.

No update available through the OTA. Don't have a pc available.
Dunno what happened I use to be able install apks, phone crashed so I factory reset and now I can't install the apps...
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium HD app
Oh otherwise I would have sent u an update to 4.2.2 but u would need an pc. Anyway seems strange. What exactly happens when u try to install an apk? Try taking the sd card out. Try downloading the apk u wanna install on to the phone without the sd card. Then try installing it. Let me know if that works.

Using explorer I go to the file, tap on it package installer comes up, tap install, installer opens with app details and permissions, try to tap install but the button doesn't highlight it's been pressed, nothing happens. Cancel button works fine

Could be an application you already installed is doing this.
Remove the apps one by one and try again.

If you have a screen related app like screen filter or voodoo colour filter, uninstall it.

Clear data for the Media Storage app:
Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All
Scroll down to Media Storage
Select clear data
Try and install your apk.
If it still doesn't work, do the same for Package Installer.

Ok cleared data for Media Storage, no effect.
Cleared data for Package Installer, no effect.
Cleared data for a bunch of other apps with no effect other than losing all my ringtones and notification sounds
Unless I can figure out whats stopping the installation of apps from apk's i just might have to factory reset and start again to see which app it is thats causing these issues.
Thanks all for your help so far!
Ok guys thank you to everyone for helping me. I feel so freakin stupid right now... and rightly so.
I realised that "LUX" auto brightness app was the issue. head slap. Didnt even think of it as a screen related app. Another head slap.
I had stupidly deleted all the apps that trigger sleep mode in Lux's settings ... added package installer back to the list and everything works fine now.
Again a huge thank you to you all for helping and a big sorry for my stupidity.

wrong section, this is for the xperia z, the first xperia z phone, the one from 2013. Please write in the right section of the forum. thanks
Guys, pls help! I have Sony Xperia Z smartphone with Android 4.2.2 OS. Whenever I want to install some Android apk which is not from Google play store, a problem occurs. This is how I do it: I transfer Android apk from my computer to my sd card and then I locate it with Astro file manager, but when I start an installaton by pressing option "Install", nothing happens. It's just like that option "Install" is frozen. What confuses me the most is that I've already enabled the option "Unknown sources" (Allow installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store)
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thx!
If you are using any apps like Twilight that create a screen filter, then you need to deactivate them before installing an apk (or in the case of Twilight, activate the app filter in its settings).

Now that truly is a strange issue. My suggestion Sony gave me when I called em up when I had a similar problem,back up your data and reset the phone. Simple as that.
Didn't read your last sentence.

Have you tried putting them on internal memory instead of the SD card?
I have seen it where for whatever reason (usually the type of format that the SD card was done with), some APK's just will not install from the external SD ..
Also, maybe try a different file manager than Astro ...
What apps are you trying to install? if all else fails at least try putting file in system/app then reboot phone

This is true. I tried it with installing screen filter and enabling it. Can't install apps when enabled.

You may have to force close or disable before you can uninstall. I had to do this to one app yesterday to be able to uninstall it.
Every time I try to disable it I get this message!??

you can install from sd card or you can not install from sd card...
goto security and allow unknown sources to be able to install apps that come from other places than google play

Its allow...i found the problem... its because the app of screen adjuster, i need to disable it when i want to install apps. I dont know why thx anyway .
Hy everyone! I am very satisfied with my phone but I have one small problem.. When I download a new app the phone, or I am in the process of installing, the phone get very laggy for a couple of seconds and the apps on my home screen reload. They disappear and reappear in a second or two. Why is that happening? Also when I go into apps or widgets it gets a bit laggish when scrolling around.. Is that normaln for a stock ROM? I`m on stock JB,rooted.. And I did a factory reset after update to JB and manually installed all the apps..

Rolling back is not an option.. Do you have a ROM or kernel to recommend?
It's normal; the homescreen is just refreshing so it displays the shortcut for the app. (it auto-places one on install)
And about the lag, download "Advanced Task Killer" and kill the apps/processes, or use the stock one. ("Task Manager")

The task manager won't get you anywhere. Android handles processes not like crappy windows and the task manager thing is unnecessary as hell. Search for it.
For the rom/ kernel thing try it out yourself . There are many good and stable ROMs on here.
