Installed APKs from where? What apps? If from somewhere other than Google Play Store, what makes you think updating would work?

Sometimes you just have to wait a day or two, then try the update again. It's to do with the market being too slow for the vendor's app data.

If you have been installing **free Apps** from certain disreputable websites, without paying for them, then you will not be able to update them through the Play Store (Market).

You probably have a version on your phone that you didn't download from the Market. To solve that you need to uninstall that version that you have on your phone and the install the one from the Market.

[FIX] Package file invalid!

Recently, I have had troubles downloading apps from the play store.. I was getting the "Invalid Package file." Error.
Well, if you get this error, install this from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5mZWxpcGVhcm9uLm1hcmtldGZpeCJd
and the errors will not appear again. Tested and working by me.

But it will work on most devices.

Just go to the access point names and see if there is an option to edit data access point settings. Then see if your connection is proxy enabled. If enabled, write down the proxy address for future referance.
Then erace the proxy address and save settings. Now go to play store and see if it works!
Worked for me…

It means that the file is not signed correctly??

[Q] force install apk without certificates?

I get this error: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES] when trying to install MIUIMusic2.3.9.apk [taken from here]. I don't care about the certificates, is there a way to force the installation?
Rezound, CM9 4.0.3
No
You cant force install, but you can always sign the apk. Use APK Manager to sign it. If you dont know how to do it, google "apk manager sign apk" to learn how

Ok I'll look it up on my pc later.
So, if I sign the apk this way, if a previous version of the app (with the same app id) is installed and I try to update by installing the newly signed apk, I will get an error?
If so, is all I need to do, just remove the old version first?
Thanks
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
edit: got it signed and installed!

Try AppSaver to just extract apk, available on Google Play.

I suppose your apk itself got corrupted somehow.
May be you can search on the net for that version of apk and download it from some of the websites that allows you to download apk directly rather than from Google Play.

WhatsApp Updates Automatic Download

Hi!
I'm new on this awesome forum, so I hope to post the thread in the right section.
I downloaded WhatsApp from the official site, not from Play Store. And I also disabled the option in the Play Store to prevent automatic updates of all apps.
Btw, whenever WhatsApp released an update, the .apk file is downloading automatically in "WhatsApp" folder on my device.
So everytime I open WhatsApp it keeps asking me to update until I tap "Ok".
Now my question is:
Is there a way to avoid WhatsApp from downloading these damn updates automatically?
Thanks for help.
no that is normal
i will explain
it will ask you to update if the whatsapp.apk still in whatsapp download folder
just when you update whats app and after installing the new one just delete or move whatsapp.apk from whatsapp download folder on your device

I always do this. But when a new update comes out, it appears in the folder again. Plus, every update "eats" 27 megabites from my data plan.
So I was wondering if there's something I can do to stop this automatic download of WhatsApp.apk.
badly the whatsapp team always force you to update the whatsapp automaticly or it will not longer work for you
so i think there is no way to do it
im my whatsapp.apk its ask me first to download the update
but if clicked later it will not work for me any more
stupid app

My .apk never asks me to download the update. It just does it automatically. And then it keeps annoying me asking to install the update.
Then, probably there's no chance in hell to avoid this thing.
Thank you anyway for helping me.
