Didn't happen to me but you could try going into Galaxy Apps and try updating it from there.
As said earlier, update through the Galaxy Apps appstore. Make sure it is installed, and not disabled. I was facing the same issue earlier, and I didn't realize that many Samsung apps were not updated through the Play Store itself, but through Galaxy Apps, which I had uninstalled.

Hello everyone,
Need help in understanding why I am unavle to install apps outside the market even when i have the option to do so. I mean i have checked the option to install apps outside the market in settings, and have enough memory both in phone and in internal memory card. But still i am unable to install apps. Everything works fine after I have rooted. But this one option does not seem to work

This might be a dumb question thrown back at you bud, but have you check 'Disabled Unknown Sources' under Settings Menu already?

Even before I saw your reply in this thread, I tried it. But I have not Uninstalled it, just force stopped it before I tried to install other apps. And YES it worked. This SCREEN ADJUST app looks like the culprit, but I guess we can just force stop it before Installing other apps. It worked for me.
Anyway thanks a lot for replying. If I couldn't have found the solution, your reply would have worked

By the way, how did you figure out that Screen Adjust was the reason behind it. I found out by a trial and error method by force closing all recently installed apps.

My version of gear manager will not let me access samsung apps. Hitting that button simply causes the program to freeze. I then have to manually force close it. Why is this? How do I rectify it. BTW, I have installed the newer versions of the app...

I assume it is because you are not running the newest software. Mine does the same thing but I am still on 4.2.1

how do I do this? when i go to samsung apps, it tells me to dl the newest version via the phone...but the phone just crashes as i described before.
Looks like the app needs whatever bloatware you removed.
I loaded the Great Britain tizen on my Gear, and all works, except the gear manager shows a blank screen for samsung app. Is this normal? are there any apps to sideload, and how do you do that?
Thanks!
Jim
No that's not normal. What build version did you flash?
There's no sideloading because it's Tizen based not android. Unless someone knows of Tizen apps not on the market.

You might have a bad download, or flash of NE9. Try downloading and re-flashing again. Or you can possibly download and flash the latest update ending with NF1.

OK, I'll try it. All I did was use odid v3.09 in defaults to flash over the android os. Could I have missed any steps?
I'll put the canadian (XAC) NF1 on it tonight,
I believe you did everything right. It's a simple process. Sometimes file downloads can be corrupt. I had one that kicked my butt for 2 days. I downloaded and it was fine.
Try the Canadian NF1 and see what happens. It's the one I'm on with my note 3 and all is well.

OK, thanks. It's just strange the error shows up on the gear manager, the watch is solid. should you remove the watch from gear manager before the update?
It's a good idea to do a complete fresh install and pairing. So when the gear connects uncheck the restore box so it doesn't try to reload old android apps.

define "fresh install"? I cannot uninstall gear manager. I did uncheck the restore box.
Thanks
On the gear enter stock recovery and perform a factory data reset. Use Odin to flash new firmware. When gear pairs with phone for first time do not restore old gear settings. Start fresh.

I factory reset, and flashed the latest Canadian one, and there was no difference. Gear Manager shows no Samsung Apps. All else is fine. except I cannot get it to connect to bluetooth headphones for the media player.

There appear to be a few of us United-Statesians who are having this problem, Jim. I experienced this issue on my Note 3 when i prematurely flashed Tizen, and another user in response to a thread I posted a week back noted that he experienced the issue as well.
At least you can rest assured that it is not just your phone or Gear.
I even flashed the XAR version of NF1 today, and still no luck.
Oddly, though, I was able to see the apps in the store for a short period of time, when the app store notified me of an update to watch styler. I've been able to reproduce the effect by installing an old version of watch styler, waiting a few minutes (anywhere from 15 to an hour), and then going into the app store for the update. For some reason, when the gear app store sees the need for an update, it allows you to view all of the apps on the store. Not sure if it works with updates to any other apps, but I don't see a reason that it woiuldn't. An odd workaround, I know, but it may work for you as well.
Good luck!
No apps fix
In my case I had my Samsung Gear updated from Android to Tizen (NE9 version) and my Note 3 updated the Gear Manager automatically, when detected Gear with Tizen.
I tried all the steps above with no luck, so I uninstalled the Gear Manager (from Galaxy apps application) and rebooted the phone. Installed a fresh version of Gear Manager from Galaxy Apps and after connected with watch everything worked. Now I can see many apps for my watch on Samsung Gear Apps.
I hope this helps!

Hey guys,
i have Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F (INS) (Non-Rooted)
i have seen newer Updates of Samsung system apps like touchwiz, phone, soundalive, gallery, and many more newer version apps in ApkMirror.com but when i download the newer version and try to install. it fails to install. it tells "app did not install"
1) tried the secure setup On and Off and it did not work for me in installing apk (failed)
2) tried OEM unlock and tried Adb debugger enabled and tried installing from Adb terminal pc (failed)
3) tried in safe mode also (failed)
4) tried uninstalling updates and installing newer direct downloaded from apk mirror (failed)
i simply could not install any newer version apps also in this note 8 could some one please find a solution for this as even these Samsung galaxy store and play store has too old versions of apk which i felt the rom is quite slow. if Apkmirror tells "there is no mod done to the apk and signatures are pure Samsung". then why the note 8 is not installing it.
Please dont tell me to root and do the copy paste and permission work (this process i know and i dont want to root my device at any cost)
Please someone find the solution for this problem without Root option its a really need to solve this problem for most of them (including me)
I FOUND TEMP SOLUTION FOR IT

Just wait till an official update comes along! It doesn't take long!

Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Unknown sources turned on? You shouldn't need any of the other things you've tried to sideload an app.
Also interested in this, there is a few updates on Apkmirror that I would love to update to, but I get the error "App not installed"
I usually only get that error if a previous version is installed. Have to uninstall the previous version then install the version you want. Updating an app by trying to install tge newer one often does not work unless updating from the Google or Samsung store.
Just wait for the official update. The one from apk mirror should be extracted from S8 android Oreo beta, hence apps not installed on note 8 (Nougat)
I was just hoping to get feature updates a bit earlier, since my carrier is horrible with updates. No worries though, thanks for the info.

Have you tried to install via adb?
Try going to settings, apps, click on the app you're trying to update, click upper right 3 dots, uninstall updates, then try to installing the new .apk.
This is the same problem as I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3701934
ADB will not work!
Installing after removing earlier updates won't!
This has nothing to do with the APK source! (and @Bandito: not all apks there are from oreo, lol. they are pure minority...)
Our Problem is a Samsung-wanted security mechanism to prevent manual updates for some Samsung apps, mainly system apps!
On S8 it worked to change device secure startup from one setting to the other, reboot, and then as long as you do not reboot again, you could update these apps with the apks from apk-mirror!
for note8 no such workaround is known, at least not for what I know...

Interesting.. Because I thought it was my "newness" to using apk updater.. I'm glad it's not just me, as I thought that was very odd also.. And like the rest of you all, I see tons of updated app on there that won't install..

I have exactly the same problem here. APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install. However, Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Themes are able to be updated using latest .apk files from www.apkmirror.com, so give it a try! Installing via ADB returns this error:
HTML:
Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]
Searching this error on Google returns no useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I also do not understand why the "About" section of each Samsung system app claims that "The latest version is already installed" when there is obviously a newer version available.

Hi all,
I had a similar problem. I was wanted to install a newer version of memo app on j510f with android 7.1.1 because after flashing new xsg rom it's missed its bidirectional writing ability (on android 6.0.1 it was starting from left side while typing english and was starting from right side while typing persian or arabic, automatically).
well, my solution:
first, i did what amit.a said in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74589925&postcount=11
I'm not spamming keep reading
after installing it i used app2sd app to convert it to system app. then i restarted the device and finish!
after restarting, if app icon changed to android logo, reinstall it using amit.a's method.
i even installed samsung note with this way, but totally it didn't work on my device and stopped working
at the end, i really appreciate if someone send me the original memo app from j510f with android 6.0.1. hope it work on android 7 as was working on android 6.
Any more progress with this?
