Unable to install app - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi thanks to all the devs for working on all these ports.
I purchased this app off the marketplace, size is 20mb.
It won't install and after a few tries it shows error 18.
Can anyone please advice on this?
Thanks in advance.

Try this.
Go to Settings > SD card & phone storage > Unmount SD card > OK
then go to the market, redownload and install the app, once it installs, do the same as above but select "Mount SD card"

Thanks so much it worked like a charm!!!!!!!

Is there any way to install Apps into SD card instead of phone memory?

I am running Darkstone Android. I would like to install all my apps onto the SD card instead of the phone memory. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select the app you want to move > Move to SD card. If you can it'll be available, otherwise it won't

app problems with HD2 using Android

Hi,
i've tried to install TK-App (it's an app where you can search diagnostics wich they're coded in ICD-10).
It didn't be successful, i've written mail to the developer and they've explained, that it would install an archive on SD-Card.
So, Android on HD2 is on SD-Card. is that a problem? Or what can i do to have successful install.
please help me
thx
anyone outthere with an idea?

some app need to unmonut sd card like clio94 said. So unmount, install app and mount sd-card, and if you are lucky, it will be good
Hey,
many many thanks to you all, it has been exactly my problem. unmount the sdcard, lets the program install.
so i'm glad to get this information here. but's interesting, that the developer of this app didn't know...
thank you and have a nice day.

when you connect to pc via usb cable choose disc drive on phone and wait for pop up
you can then put apk files onto sd card then disconnect and navigate to apk with file explorer, open and install,
you will also have to check unknown sources in applications settings
If you are using normal froyo app2sd. Settings > applications > manage applications > go to an app and pick move to sd.
But are apps in SD slower than apps in phone?
If you have a slow sd card and the app has to support froyo app to sd

Is a class 2 SD card just fine? Or do we need at least class 6??
The higher class the better unless its a.cheap one from ebay

Since all the apps cant be installed to sd card, therefore i recommend you download "app2sd enabler" from the market. after downloading it, just go to settings>applications>manage applications. and you can move you desired apps to sd card.
I have done it with the following tutorial

good luck !
If we download the apps from the android market, how do we install them on the SD card?

I just told you, read my post above... if you have an ext partition and app2ext enabled, they move auto to your sd, you need to darktremmor for this.

If you do the following MOD, Applications which support them self to install in SD card will automatically goes to SD card.

Applications which do not have support must be installed to phone first and then have to moved to SD card through Application Manager.

"Application not installed"

I don't know when this started happening, but I can no longer install apps. When I try to install an apk from the sd card, I click install and it immediately gives the error message "Application not installed."
I was having problems installing apps from the market, as well, and read a post that suggested unmounting the sd card first, then trying to install the app from the market. This does work. However, I can't very well unmount the sd card then install an apk from it...
I did use adb to change the default install location to the sd card awhile back, but I just reset it to 0 (automatic) and I still get the same error message. I have plenty of room on both the phone and the card.
What's wrong?
This very well may be a different issue altogether, but some phones that have done this in the past have just required a cache clear in the market. Just go settings > applications > market > clear cache
Again, probably something else, but have seen this issue in alot of different android phones.

Exactly same for me from today (maybe yesterday). HTC Desire, original ROM. WTF? I was already thinking about virus, but probobly its stupid idea. What's going on?
I cannot install apps from SD nor from Market.
I had an issue with this too kept getting "unknown reason 18" put new SD card in and no problems since

Yea, your sd card is dead. A new one will fix the issue.

It's probably not a dead sd card, but more likely to be a single file.
You need to delete smdl2tmp1.asec from the .android-secure folder on the sd. You can't see this file with an on phone file manager, so you either have to use terminal emulator, or connect to a pc..

How are you looking at the .android-secure folder because as stated earlier, you cannot see the contents from the phone, you have to mount to a PC...
