I mean this button on the lower left corner.
I have restarted the device, allowed unknow sources etc. It happends after updating on Android 2.3.3
Ou yes. I am using stock, original ROM. No ROOT.

Does it happen with all apps or just with one?

I have tested it with about 10 apps.
Installing over USB cabel with HTC sync is working.

Also installing apps from market is working, but i cant install (cant click install) apk from memory card

Sorry, disregard post.

hi, i found out that i have the same problem too. the issue is that if you have screen filter on, this would happen, so for now, simply turn off screen filter before you install.

Thx its fixed for me now

Thx man.

I know this is a little old but it was my first result when googling the problem so wanted to say thanks and add that, in my case, I had the "Rounded Corners" app running and this caused the problem. I stopped that and was then able to hit install.
Thanks

No, it helped only for a while. It doesn't work now

first try taping on other tabs, and than install.
Or scroll to the end of permissions (looks like intentional buyer protection) than it should be available.

not install apk
Go to settings, security then check the box that says allow install from other sources.

Hello, I have the same problem with not being able to push the INSTALL button. Sorry, could you point me to where screen filter is located--I cannot find it anywhere in Settings? Much appreciate!

Do you have any brightness afjuzting application? If yes then you will find screen filter in that application settings
Thanks doesn't hurt....

Bumping because I just had this same problem with a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 international from Telcel in Mexico running stock ROM.
I literally didn't even know of the existence of Screen Filter until now, so what worked was stopping every single app that was drawing overlays: Facebook inbox, GO Power Master, SuperSU and Battery Mix (it draws a discrete little bar at the top of the screen indicating your remaining battery). Now it works all fine.
The lesson here is that if you can't install .apk's, you have to disable EVERY SINGLE APP THAT DRAWS OVERLAYS, starting with the ones you currently have running, then the ones that could draw overlays: in my case, GO Power Master draws one when the phone heats or when battery runs low, SuperSU pops the kdesudo-like dialog, and Facebook inbox has pop-up Chat Heads.

I had to close out Halo.. That was the app that over layed

Knock code do not work

Hello, guys.
Knock code is not working on my G4...
I need to turn on the screen to use the code...
I have to make some configuration?
Thx.

This happens to me sometimes to, it works with the screen off sometimes, but most of the time I have to turn the screen on. Usually use double-tap to wake when that happens. Probably going to get better functionality with an update hopefully.

Happen to me too... Never had this problem on G3

Same thing was happening to me. I had a screen protector on that covered everything but the speaker. I took that off, and put one on with cutouts and I haven't had an issue since.

How do you even enable knock code? Mine is greyed out.

Mine works just fine here on Verizon. Knock twice to turn on/off the screen LOVE IT! Much better than clicking the home or power button on my past Sammys

Not the double tap to wake. The option where you tap a code into the screen instead of using a standard lock screen code or pattern unlock.

Same here, too many misses of the Knock code (compare to the G3). I really hope that it's just software issue and not hardware (digitizer).

It's hit or miss with mine (no pun intended). When the screen is on, there is a square, blue outline of a box in the lower half of the screen. I assume at that point you're supposed to tap within the box, rather than using the entire screen?

Do you have exchange mail set up? A lot of companies require a more secure lock to the phone and disable knock code and face unlock, etc.

Check what has admin privs on your phone. Something has credentials that are blocking Knock code and swipe unlock.

I tried this. I un checked everything. Still no change. I thought maybe because I wasn't using the stock home screen, but even switching to that didn't change anything.

I too am having the same problem... H815 uk version... I even factory defaulted it and it was still greyed out without any settings on it

I was having this same problem and even factory defaulting the device did not help.
I later found out that I was accessing it the wrong way and all is well now.
Go to Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Select Screen Lock and you should be able to choose them properly.
However, I was accessing it through:
Settings > General > Security > Screen pin and over here the options for knock code is grayed out.
I hope this helped~!

I've been having the same issue with the knock code only working 70% of the time when the screen is off. I didn't own the G3 so I have no idea if this is worse performance than it. It's very frustrating. This and the slow charging issues the G4 has are really disappointing.

FYI, T-Mobile pushed out an update this week. Among the changes (actually, the only change I've noticed so far) is the knock to unlock has improved. That seems to suggest a software fix can help.

Fingerprint Gestures On Pie Update Missing

After updating to Pie, I found out that the fingerprint gestures are missing. Searched in settings and found the swipe fingerprint section but it seems to be empty. Any ideas?

Same problem here

Maybe fix in december security patch
I have the same problem. after the november security patch, i turned it on immediately. but when i updated to pie (via the vpn method), the option disappeared.
I think Google or Xiaomi will fix it in december security patch. be patient

Do you mean that all gestures are missing? The menu gesture is still there although not in the settings. Swipe left to right.

Dude mine still works but like it extremely buggy but the option is removed from the “gestures” area of the settings menu. What I mean about “extremely buggy” it doesn’t do it every time, so let’s say if I swipe down on the sensor it will pop up the notification drawler about 2 minutes later.

But there's something really weird, look. If you type in the search settings bar, the opting is there. But when pressed, it kinda disappears!
Same thing is happening with the battery percentage. If you type "percentage" the option seems to be there. But press it and it's not.
You can see the caps proof below.
The main question still remains. Do you think the ones who updated with the Indonesia VPN will ever get a fix via OTA for this mess?

I probably explained myself poorly. On Pie, swipe to the right on the fingerprint sensor (it used to be swipe down on the Oreo)) Onhe first swipe, you get high level notification overview with one line of quick settings, on the second swipe, you get the details. Swipe to the left and the notification bar rolls up. Not sure why not included in the gesture settings but the functionality is just there.

I am not getting this. How did you enable it?

I did not. It was just on by default. Doesnt the gesture work for you?

It used to in the Oreo version. After updating to Pie through VPN it stopped working.

Just to be clear. You are swiping sideways, right? Oreo had swipe down, Pie has swipe left/right.

fortunately my fingureprint gesture is working but its working from left to right

when i search fingerprint in settings and the 2nd or 3rd option will be swipe fingerprint when i tap on it, it shows me a toggle button, I personally liked it turned off .

[ISSUE] Moto G7 Power - Display graphics error

Hi There,
I am new on the android scene and I have recently got my first Moto G7 Power and flashed Lineage OS onto it without GAPPS as I am not a fan of Google. Once the OS is installed on the device everything seems to work fine and I have had no issues with it. No today I didn't charge the device and the device died. When I power the device on everything is normal and then I lock the device display. When I go to check my next SMS message I find that the colours on the display are all messed up. It is kind of what I expect out of a computer when there is a graphics rendering error. I have some photos below;

I can get the display back to normal with a reboot of the device however after the first lock of the device the display does this again and I have not been able to get it back to normal
Any assistance is appreciated :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for your response.
I did follow all of the instructions in the documentation linked. I have not used the "Get Help" options as I didn't see those till today. I will also post this to these communities.
Additional information I attempted to take a screenshot of the issue though when the screenshot is sent to my computer the issue is not shown in the image.

I've been experimenting with the issue, and it possibly might be a conflict with the screen saver and the main display, as I think when the screen saver kicks in, it adjusts/shuts off the colors to the monochrome of sorts we see when it "bugs out". I tried shutting of the screen saver (Go to the options"Display-Advanced-Screen saver-When to start" and click "Never."), and it seems to be good for the moment. Not sure if this will hold as a temporary solution, as I have only been testing for a few minutes putting the phone to sleep and waking it several times, but I might be on to something...

This problem is happening with me too, it is when I plug the usb cable and block the phone, when it wake up the display are messed. Reset is normal again. Tried to turn off screen saver but it didnt help.

I'm experiencing this problem with other situations too. After more tests I saw in another site this workaround: Change your color profile [Display] -> [Advanced] -> [Colours] from 'Natural' to 'Saturated' and back. Colors will return to normal. (https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2832)
After doing that and what PhoneThe4th said I am not experiencing the problem.
Sorry, I didnt know how to delete this message and use only my upper message.

Sorry, but the above answer is only a temp fix.
Try this:
System - Buttons
( long-press all buttons, to see menu)
Back long press action-Kill foreground app
Home long press action-Kill foreground app
Recent long press action-Kill foreground app.
I did this yesterday (1/10/2022) .
Still working.

Weird notification UI changes in Android 11/OneUI 3.0 update.

I've been working with the new update the last few days, and noticed some odd changes made by Samsung.
Most annoying is this huge gap between my toggles and brightness slider/notifications. I have disabled the media controls and have no background apps running.
I think they attempted to make notifications easier to access for one hand operation, but we need a way to change this! Or give me the option to add all of my toggles into the gap!

I think it's the place for "Device and Media buttons". Try to activate in "Quick panel layout". There's "Show device and media buttons above notification" option. Maybe on then off.

I don´t have that gap in my Note 10+. Just below the 6 icons I have the brightness slider. Weird.

No gap here either.

I have similar problem. Only that i have a problem with whole screen notification window even though it is empty.

That usually happen when no factory format is made between hard UI changes.
The objects and placeholders stay there even though they are empty. Have you tried a factory reset after UI3 update?
That also happened on KITKAT to Marshmellow and was a usual issue when the update wasn't factory reset afterwards.
The UI would update and new elements were put in place but the old ones would still be there and originated large gaps or invisible toggles.
