can't install app - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

I'm trying to update Blokada VPN. I downloaded the APK from their site. I clicked on the install button that popped up. I was then taken to a screen to tell android whether to install the app. I can't get past giving the apk permission to install. It never does. I then uninstalled the older version thinking it was somehow preventing the system from updating it. Now the apk still does not install. it gets to the permission screen and goes no further. What else do I need to do to get the apk to install.
I am on the latest update from verizon.

got it to work
I downloaded the APK from chrome rather than dolphin browser and it installed.

[Q] where do APK's download to from market?

I am trying to install the new Google Voice Search app, but I keep getting "install unsuccessful" on Bifs 1.5 Froyo ROM. I'd like to download the apk from the market, pull it to my computer then try installing from ADB, thats worked in the past.
So does anyone know the temp location that the apk downloads to?
There seems to be some issue with signatures on the APK. A workaround is here.

[Q] Amazon.com shopping app?

As I understand it, the Amazon shopping app is only available on the US Android Market.
I'm in the US anyway (I suppose the Nook doesn't know that), but I installed Market Enabler and set it to T-Mobile US (also tried Verizon US).
Force closed the Market and cleared it's cache, but the Amazon app still doesn't show up.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I don't know if it's because it a B&N device but I could not get it to install from the market, so I had to find the apk and install it that way. It updates normally but getting it on there in the first place meant tracking down that pesky apk.
download appbrain along with fast web installer, you will be able to find and install the official amazon app from there.

I downloaded and installed the APK from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268726&postcount=5
Which works, but how do I update it? I'm guessing they're past v1.0.0 by now ...
EDIT: Tried AppBrain, which shows v1.0.6, but won't update when it tries to via the Android Market app: "The requested item could not be found." Fast Web Installer tells me that Google disabled it's ability to function with the latest Market updates.
I did find v1.0.6 is here though: http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/01/ho...or-requested-item-could-not-be-found-message/
Still doesn't help with updates to the app though.

If anyone is interested in manually updating their phone to the newest market here ya go
I'm having trouble installing this, did you do anything special? I've manually installed market updates many times before and never had a problem, for some reason I'm not able to install this apk. I even tried uninstalling my previous installation of market with Titanium Backup in case that was causing some kind of compatibility issue, but nothing.
edit: I figured out the issue, this can't be installed like a normal app...you must use root explorer or file explorer to replace the market apk in system/apps and set the permissions as detailed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284335

[Q] Problems installing 3rd party apps [Solved]

This may seem like a ridiculous question at first glance but I can't work it out.
I have an international I9305, stock 4.1.2 Rom and no root with over 10Gb storage spare.
For some reason I'm randomly unable to install 3rd party apks. I've checked the box to allow installation from unknown sources. Just now I've downloaded the AirDroid2 beta apk, went into ES file manager, clicked the apk file but can't click install. I get the permissions list and the option to cancel but the install button is greyed out. The cancel button works fine. If I wait a few hours and try again apps will install without issue.
I tried installing another apk that previously installed without issue but that won't either.
Installing apps from the play store work as normal
Reboot didn't solve it.
So: Has anyone else come across this issue? Any idea how to work around it in future?
Edit: Worked it out. Turns out the app Screen Filter stops you installing third party apps when active. Never even considered it would have made a difference.

Note8 and correct functionality bugs and errors.

samsung note 8 system applications can not be updated to the new version from the apk file (the original manufacturer file from apkmirror) the system shows the application not installed without any information about the error. It does not install any updates from Samsung Apps. My applications - empty, does not detect anything. Same Google Play. For example, the camera version 7.62.2 in the phone, and the new one is 8.50, you can not update it, so do the other system.

He meant, some of the Samsung system apps doesn't show updates available in the Galaxy Apps store or Play Store. There are updates to certain apps, like the camera and dialer on APK Mirror, but when you download them and try to install them, it gives an error and says the app wasn't installed. That is his issue, that he can't update some of his apps.

Some of the apps you're trying to update, like the camera, can't be updated by side-loading or downloading an APK, because it's a system app. You can't update system apps. In the case of the camera, I wouldn't want to update that anyway, because even though it's a higher version, it's not necessarily meant for the Galaxy Note 8, because the "newer" versions remove the ability to use the optical 2x zoom, which I'm sure isn't supposed to happen. I think those are updated camera APKs for different models, maybe like the A- or J-series.
What you could do, if you are rooted, is to just replace the system APKs with the updated ones you downloaded, but I wouldn't recommend that, because sometimes the updates to system apps might also depend on updates to other library files which you don't get with the APK or can't download and then might cause some problems and issues.
As far as your question about Bixy and News Republic: I have no idea. I don't use Bixby, so I don't even know how it works.

For the 2nd question, have you tried opening Bixby, go to Settings, then go to Cards, then ensure news republic is toggled on (assuming it's installed on your phone in the first place)?
no is not working that, i not see this app in screen.

Hmm if you have the app installed and it doesnt show up there in Bixby, then maybe that app is not compatible with Bixby yet?
