Can't install the update on Android

Post by Fab67 »

When I download the 1.1.2 update for Android (automatic update or the .APK) from the website, my 4.0.4 Android tells me what are the permissions asked, but when I want to tap on "install", nothing appens ! I can only tap on "cancel", and so this update is not installed, I'm still in 1.1.1.

My Android is rooted, and I allowed "external" apps to be installed in the Android configuration, I don't know what to do to install this update ...

Help ? :?:

Have you tried to remove the 1.1.1 version. Download the 1.1.2 directly form the website and make a clean install?

Tried this, didn't work, either. Same problem, the install button doesn't do anything.

Any ideas?

Not really, I have only unrooted devices and no problems installing ABP

Oh well, thanks anyway :)

I'll try to find the 1.1.1 version and wait for the next release.

Just updating in case anyone else has this problem.

Try to install another apk. If you can't then disable any app or app setting that tinkers with your screen. In my case, I had Twilight installed. When I disabled it I could install the apks without further problems.

Thank you rednila. Twilight was the culprit.
