Nothing will install - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running stock ROM, stock kernel etc. I have root. Basically, if I try to install an application like xposed, the install button is lit up the same as the cancel button. However, it won't respond if I press it. The same region of the screen works any other time, so it isn't that. Also, the phone has unknown sources enabled, so it isn't that either.
And if anybody else knows a way not involving Xposed to get Google Wallet working in the UK, then that would be great too.

Delete, wrong post.

I already have, it didn't work, it says it doesn't for Jelly Bean.
Is there any other NFC debit card application that works with this phone? My card is a Visa on NatWest if that's relevant.

Saw it didn`t work for Jellybean after i posted it bro, maybe look in the Nexus 4 forum if they have way to get Google Wallet working, just a thought.

Hi. the problem that you're facing occurs when a screen filter app is used, to change the brightness (usually decrease), or in galaxy s4, to fix the smearing issue. so if you are using apps like that or mods to fix smearing effect, try to disable them and try again, most likely install button will work again.

Ah, I used that application to change contrast to stop the smearing. Cheers!

I can't get Google Wallet to set up!

I am having issues getting Google Wallet set up on my Nexus 10. I just received it today, and it sits on the "Setting up Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes" screen for what seems like forever, then I get a message "Device Not Ready-Wallet is unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized. Make sure the phone has network access and try rebooting it if the problem persists", well the network is 100% A OK, and the device is fully initialized, so I'm not sure what the issue is, and I have rebooted it a few times and even cleared data and cache on the Wallet program, to no avail. Is anybody else having this issue?
If your under a custom rom, that could be the reason why its not working. I have Google wallet on my rooted stock SG3 and it says unsupported device but it still works.

It's the stock ROM, just rooted, unlocked bootloader and recovery.
It still won't set up as of this morning, it's not a hardware problem because the NFC works just fine, I guess I'll have to talk to Google.
Well, I fixed it! I went into Titanium and uninstalled it, installed the version in the Play Store, and then opened it up and WHAM, it worked! Maybe the one on the device was corrupt, or uninstalling then re installing cleared out some errors, what do you guys think?
Edit-I don't know that I'll use it on my Nexus 10, as I have it installed and working on my SGS3 (AT&T), but it's nice to have the option, and it was bugging me not being able to get it working lol
Glad you figured it out! Sometimes its as simple as uninstalling then reinstalling go figure.

Just wondering... Why do you want Google Wallet on your N10? Do you have the 3g version and carry it around all day?

Coolness factor
In any case, my wallet seems to be stuck also on "Setting up Wallet". I've tried CM10.1, some other custom ROM, and stock, and tried a few different wallet apps on CM10.1, to no avail so far.
Edit: My NFC still appears to work; I can wave my credit card near the NFC sensor on the N10, and it'll make a sound.
Try uninstalling wallet with titanium backup and reinstall from the play store. Worked for me today on my rooted sprint galaxy nexus.

Tried your suggestion and it let me sign in and setup a PIN. However, it errors out when trying to add cards. It also says that I'm using an unsupported device (Nexus 4).

I'm having the same issue. I've tried everything short of editing the build prop as some have done in the past with other devices (I have a nexus 4), and probably would even do that if some other person with an N4 did it and had success. Tried multiple ROMs and multiple versions of Wallet with no luck. I either get the "Setting up wait 5 minutes, device not initalized" issue or the "request failed" at the add card error. Put in for a replacement yesterday, so hopefully the new one doesn't have the issue. If so, then we know that there are just some lemon N4's out there.
first, I got this wallet apk from the dev paulobrien here at xda. I don't have the link to his site at the moment. now, onto the fun stuff. to begin with, uninstall any previous wallet app. next, using root explorer drop this apk into the /system/app directory and change the permissions to match the other apps. now, reboot and enjoy the odd looks of cashiers when you pay with your awesome tablet!
I found the link for anyone who is wary.

Bars on Gallery App won't disappear

When I first got the phone, I could make the bars disappear on the gallery app by just tapping and now I can't make them go away for the life of me. Any help? Thanks
Here is an example below

For me, just not touching the screen for a couple of seconds makes them disappear.

Maybe try updating the firmware? Maybe it's a bug they fixed.
I'm running the XXUAMDM version and i think that this is the latest firmware which is available.
Maybe i will try to flash a stock rom from the development section.

Well I'm using XXUAMDN, which I'd expect is newer going alphabetically.
My galaxy s4 is not able no find a newer version than my current one. I'm from germany so maybe I'll have to wait

Mine couldn't either, even though it was on XXUAMDC. I assume it's because it gets the update through your network provider, and you'll only get the newest one they'd let you get, especially if it's locked to their network like mine was.
I probably found out what was causing that bug. My gallery is working fine again.
Please test the following:
Enable all sounds on your galaxy s4 and get into the Gallery.
now select an folder with your pictures and long press on a picture. in my case the phone had read out loud that i've selected a picture.
Then i removed an app called Notify-Me and some other apps which could cause the problem and now the gallery works again :good:
I'm sorry for my english but I hope you can understand it.

There I found my solution.
Hope it works for you !
Actually my gallery was also doing talkback at some point. I had just frozen a bunch of bloat apps, so I thought that was the thing causing it.. So I unfroze them again..

My phone is a completely stock US version and I have the gallery problem. You can never view a picture fullscreen no matter what you do.
Do you have an app installed which is enabled in accessibility? Disable it and try again in landscape mode
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Wow, it's Lightflow that's causing it! Well, maybe I should say Samsung's gallery sucks and can't coexist with lightflow. I've been using an app from the market called Gallery ICS which works fine with lightflow enabled. So odd. I don't get what would cause this.
What is lightflow?

Thanks for the info! I've just disabled the Tasker accessibility service and the problem went away. Looks like the bug occurs when you have at least one active accessibility service.

Intelliring and talkback issues

Iv had the intelliring app installed for a while, great app with some cool features but had one major issue.
Works fine for the ringer but when I choose to include my notifications to be controlled by the app it says I need to turn on something in accessibility, which I do but then using the stock browser I get talk back even though it's talk back is off and everything is unchecked. This issue doesn't happen in chrome though.
Another issue Iv noticed is auto rotate does not work properly in the video player but I can live with that.
I think the stock browser is great and it seems faster than chrome while using less ram too. Can't find another app that does what intelliring does, also Iv emailed the devs a couple of times but no response after two weeks.
I know it's not a major issue but coming from ios where things just worked it would be nice for it to just work. Can anyone help?

You'll have to wait for an official fix. There are several threads where people have problems with the talkback issue. Every app which is enabled in the accessability settings causes that. The new MEA firmware fixes the issue so you'll have to wait or flash the firmware with odin. You can get it from sammobile. :thumbup:

Thanks :good:, have you experienced any fixes with the new update yet?
Still not rooted yet, cant find any reason to root, this device is so damn customisable from every angle. (long time ios user)
Yeah the talkback issue gets fixes. Also you can move apps to your sd card. My camera doesnt lag anymore. It is a good update :thumbup: :thumbup:
You do not have to be rooted.
Turn off your phone and put it into the download mode. Connect it to a usb port and flash the firmware with odin as pda and check if the checkboxes auto restart and f.reset time are checked. But only those two checkboxes.
If you want to be really sure go to the development section and follow the instructions from djembey.

Or you could wait till the update reaches your phone amd don't risk anything
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Thanks again. But my knowledge is pretty basic, I don't even know/ever heard of download mode. Getting root seems way more complex than jail breaking so for that reason I'll hold back and besides I really enjoy having 60+% battery left after a full days use.
Let's hope this new update is soon

New Google Apps from Nexus 5 Dump

Droid Life is posting the new google apps that came from a nexus 5 which is, as you know, running android 4.4 . I can confirm the new google launcher works after installing google search and google play. Im pretty sure most others should work fine on the X. Post if working or if not!:good:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/31/download-new-google-apps-from-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/#more-123662
So I have installed all of the leaked apps. The only one that did not work is the clock. I've cleared the data on the app but it didn't make a difference. In in the Verizon Moto X. Only other problem is email app is missing the exchange option for me.
Anyone else try these? Any workaround for the clock?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
You need to be rooted and uninstall the clock app and reinstall the leaked apk from what I've read. Android police had a write up on it.

I'm rooted, followed the directions, still couldn't get it to work. No biggie...the clock isn't all that different.
Wish we had the dialer!
Can you install the new launcher without being rooted? Or is that required for all of these leaked apps? Looked like it just said side load them...
I had trouble sending mms with the new hangouts. I'm stock non rooted newest ota

Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
also update your language pack in the settings as well.

Am I alone to have problems with "Deus ex:The Fall"?

I have downloaded this game on my SM-N9005 with 4.4.2. When I click on play I have force closed. I have tried many rom with full wipe but it doesn't solve my problem. Do you know solutions or any ideas? thanks

I did buy it tho, maybe you didn't?

A lot of apps, particularly games, force close on 4.4.2.
Something to do with the (lack of) write permissions to external SD, if I recall correctly.
It is closing on selecting anything from the main menu on HTC One + Android 4.4.2. I'm waiting for a refund now.
