When I just ran the Samsung Pay app (I have used it before and have credit cards already configured in the app), it told me there was an upgrade and asked whether or not to install it (I first then checked the Google Play Store and no update to the app by the way). Then switched back to the app and selected to accept the upgrade.
Now whenever I run the app, it tells me I need to add a backup PIN and has two buttons - "Cancel" and "Register". When I tap on (#1) "Cancel" the app just closes (go back to the beginning of this paragraph). When I tap on "Register" (#2), it says to use my fingerprint to get the pin keyboard. I put my finger on the reader and then it tells me it read the fingerprint and is launching the pin keyboard - then it shows nothing but "Cancel" or "Register" buttons again. If I tap "Cancel" - go to (#1). If I tap "Register" - go to (#2). Endless useless loop. If I kill the app and relaunch it - go to the beginning of this paragraph! I went back to the application info - and there is no option to uninstall the update - just an option to uninstall the app altogether.
Anybody else run into this?
Nobody?
you should try it from the beginning, uninstalling and then reinstalling the app or clearing the data from app info..in both cases u have to enter ur credit card details again..
Tried the app this time and the problem went away.

Got my HD7 yesterday morning and was really happy with it, even more so when I found out that the HTC Hub contained links to apps which retained some of the functionality I was used to on my HD2 such as Flashlight and a phone enhance functionality app which enabled the ringtone to get quieter when it detected it was picked up etc.
But upon trying to start these apps I was directed to the MarketPlace which attempted to download them, except it kept coming up with this error: "Can't play or download. There's a problem with the licence"
After re-attempting several times I found that around 1pm yesterday the apps disappeared altogether and that the HTC Apps section on the Marketplace is now completely empty.
Is anyone else getting this problem?
didnt have those options on my hd7, im guessing its not a problem but more of a mistake htc put links there. i would say its just a waiting game, i know from my desire that i have got too that it takes awhile for the apps to appear and some of them are definitely worth it
They were gone when I looked. Hopefully they'll be back!
remove first
I had this too after it tried to upgrade them, just go to the programs list press and hold on each of them to get the pop up menu to uninstall. Then go back to marketplace and install again.
Yeah, I noticed that this morning they have re-appeared (yay!!).
Only problem I'm having with the HTC apps now is just with the one I really wanted - the 'Attentive Phone' app which brings back some the HTC Senseness that you didn't see from my old HD2 (such as quiet ring at pick up, louder in the pocket and automatic loudspeaker when phone is screenside down on the table).
It downloads. It installs. But try to run it? Nah. You select the program the screen goes black, thinks for a second, and chucks you straight back into the programs list. Dammit.
I sent an email to HTC yesterday about their app trouble but have yet to receive a reply. I just hope that they know that this particular app still doesn't work. Although it is nice to have Flashlight and the other fancy ones back and up and running!
Attentive Phone installs and runs ok for me; and the features work as advertised.
However the flashlight app can't install, and the "love" app (god knows what this is) won't run after it has been installed.
There's also the Lists app (for groceries, todo lists etc), and Notes is there too. I find the Microsoft Shopping List app is better though.
I've got all to install and only the flashlight app doesn't run. I'll try uninstalling and re-installing.
Update: uninstalling worked fine but on attempting to re-download I got an error '8000ffff'. I discovered by accident that if you press and hold the app in the 'downloads' screen, it gives you the options: 'retry' or 'delete'. Retry worked and the download and install completed correctly. Unfortunately the flashlight app still doesn't work tho!
First of all to fix error 8000ffff in windows phone you have to go to “Start”
Now in order to open the app list just swipe your screen from left to right.
Now this list gives you the entry of valid apps as well as those apps which are downloaded automatically due to error 8000FFFF.
Slide to any of the invalid app and press and hold it in order to get the option and press “uninstall”.
Similarly you have to uninstall all the invalid apps that are downloaded automatically due to the error 8000FFFF.
You’ve successfully completed the task to fix error 8000ffff in windows phone
i have a problem with ma window phone when im trying detting up my window live id accounts..its need an activation code to finish setup plz can i obtain an activation code fot htc hd7t9292
Ok so this is weird as hell, and i've already called HTC about this and they provided a little bit of help.
First, this is my first official Android handset (Why the hell did I wait so long omg?) after kicking Apple to the curb, so I am still learning all the tricks and shortcuts, but I have a fairly good knowledge as to how the OS works now.
My Issue is I am unable to install 3rd party apps. I have the APK downloaded, I have the option in settings to allow 3rd party apps to install, and when I try to install it takes me to the install screen showing me what the app will have access to, and has cancel and install at the bottom. Cancel works, as well as show info, but the install button does nothing. I've tried from the download section, as well as ASTRO File Manager.
HTC Mention double checking to make sure third party app install is enabled (I can't even get to the install screen otherwise so it obviously is) and they mentioned to do a soft-restart by holding down the power button until it completely reboots.
Here is the kicker, after doing the soft-restart for the first time, I was able to install the Humble Indie Bundle Beta App. Worked perfectly fine. But now that I have downloaded the games from that App, I am back to the same issue before where I can't install the APK's and the soft-restart isn't fixing the issue.
I've goggled the crap out of this and haven't come across really anything like this, except some mention that AT&T Blocks third party apps, but it looks like that was on older HTC phones, and since I was able to install 1 third party app, I don't think that's the case. Any help would be appreciated!
*********** TLR SOLUTION ************
If you can't install 3rd party apps, after having checked the option in settings, remove the "Google Settings" app, and then run your installs. If you are using a new install for the first time, pick Android Installer and not Verify and Install to avoid issues. Scumbag Google. :laugh:
Re-install Google Settings at your own risk afterwards.

Google recently installed a new "installer" package from the store. I think it was called "verify and install". Anyway, the first time I tried to install from the Amazon store, it asked me which installer to use - Android or the new google installer. I chose the second program (always). After that my programs would not install. I had to remove that program and then the next time I made sure that I selected the default Android installer.
I don't know where the new installer came from. I didn't ask for it to be installed.
Anyway, check your apps list and see if that is installed.

Just searched all apps installed for both install and verify. There is nothing under verify, and install comes up with Certificate Installer DemoFloPackage Installer and Package Installer, all with android icon's, so they appear to be default stuff. I'll definitely keep looking though, thank you for the tip!
Edit: Your suggestion game me the idea to see if there was another installer application on the appstore that might work. I tried Easy Installer and it still just installs using the regular (or I suppose default) installer, which leads me back to the same problem =(
Do you have any apps like Lux Autobrightness or screen filter running or similar? If you do, that is your culprit. Those apps act as an overlay to your screen (that's how they adjust brightness) and as a security feature the install button is disabled when an overlay app is being used to prevent an overlay app from being able to hit the install button. It works after a reboot because the app has not yet started running.

I do have twilight installed (Like F.Lux) but it looks like stevedebi's original assessment was correct. The app is "Google Settings" attached is a screen cap of the culprit.
I unlocked my bootloader to install cynogenmod (decided against it) and when I went to re-install all the apps, the "Android Installer" and "Verify and Install" option came up, and once I saw the icon was the same as google settings, I opened it up and there was the verify options down at the bottom.

Thank you for this info! Completely forgot about this and was getting frustrated when the install button wasn't working..
I tried the whole "deleting the screen filter" app thing. It works momentarily after I "soft" reset my phone, but only for one install.
Every time, I have to reset my phone, so something else is in the way.
My phone is not rooted, if that helps at all. And it's an AT&T galaxy s2.
This is probably something I've done that is really stupid but I can't figure it out. My Nexus 6 is completely stock. Just got it, haven't unlocked the bootloader and haven't rooted it.
I have gone to the Security settings and enabled "Unkonwn Sources". I have even install Fdroid after doing so.
I'm now trying to install other apps (Amazon app store, and others from fdroid) and I can't.
It opens the install screen, tells me all the permissions the app will use, and gives me the "Cancel" and "Install" buttons. However, I cannot press the "Install" button. The cancel buttons works fine, but not the install button.
Anyone know what I've done wrong?
Thanks in advance folks.

Are you using some kind of screen filter application? Try switching the phone to landscape and tap all areas of "Install"
If you're using a screen filter application, disable it and then try again.
In my experience, this is usually related to third party screen related apps that control screen brightness. In my case, lux creates this behavior, and needs to be disabled to install things. If you don't have a third party app like this installed, try temporarily disabling ambient display or auto brightness.

Thank you both for your answers.
"Lux" was the culprit. Darn.
I got really tired of pressing "Install". Did it so many times it wouldn't surprise me if there was a dent in my screen, lol.

You know the Amazon app store can also be accessed from the regular Amazon app, right? No need to sideload the Amazon App Store apk anymore
I've tried Google but it didn't work so basically I was downloading stuff from the internet and one of them must've had some nasty virus cause now every single time I unlock my phone I get this name-less app that pops up with this virus notification (how ironic). So I tap the menu key to bring up app switcher and the app is name-less with a white theme. So I go into the Smart Manager and check the RAM to see what information I can get but it doesn't appear there. So I go to the settings app, Application manager > Running and the very first thing, taking up like 66MB of RAM was that ad app. So I tap it and the uninstall button is greyed out! So I tap "stop" to stop the app and it finally goes away (I had the app open in that small window and it disappeared after tapping "STOP"). By go away I mean it probably just got temporarily stopped or it's frozen but if I go into the "all" tab, the first thing is this nameless ad app. 6.50MB storage used, version 1.0 . The permissions basically say it's got control of my SD card and full network access, nothing else. I don't trust it at all to not have root access but I don't think SU asked me anything about root other than file explorers and Kernel apps (was trying to find a way to overclock for fun)
tl;dr There's a nameless app that shows a fullscreen ad saying I got a virus and the uninstall button is greyed out.
I got root so is there a way of finding the location of the relevant files in ES File Explorer and deleting them maybe?
Download Samsung Package Disabler and you should be able to disable the app. Or you can try Titanium Backup and freeze the app and possibly uninstall it.

Simply factory reset, it is way better than finding the app. Format storage, then re install the rom. It will sure wiping the virus.

Hey guys how can I lock the messenger app with my fingerprint without using third party apps because it doesn't show up in the list :/
1. make sure that you have enabled "Access to blocking app" in Fingerprints manager(settings -> ID fingerprint-> manage fingerprints - >third option in page).
2. Go to Phone manager app scroll lower icons to left to get "Locking apps" option.
3. First time it will ask you for creating pin, enter it two times.
4. select apps that you want to protect using fingerprint.
5. close all apps and lock your phone for 5-6seconds(just normally lock it and wait).
6. After that everytime when you want to open those apps you will be asked for fingerprint.

Yes dude I know thx but my problem is that Facebook messenger app doesn't show up in that list, am I the only one ??
Well you should say that its Facebook messenger... As far as I know facebook and its side apps never worked properly.
I dont use it so I dont know if its visible on the list. What I can say is that all my apps are available there so its not like App lock it self is bad.
Try to block facebook too on the list, or just for test download those light version of messenger. God know how bad their apps are and maybe it will force it somehow...
In my device it appears but I don't have Facebook installed, and the messenger is the Lite vertion.
Tried it on Lite version and it works.
