Hello Guys,
Since many of us who recently upgraded to the newest UK firmaware are suffering from one and the same bug, namely under settings/more settings nearby devices not fonctionning I decided to post a new treat so that everybody share his experience and those of you who don't have problem with this settings to help the rest find a solution until a new ROM comes and hopefully the bug may be gone
Reinstalling the rom and doing a factory reset solved the problem for me. It's working fine now.
What is the bug?

hello,
Same thing for me, "nearby devices" could be access only one time and after all is in gray and no modification possible.
You can re-activ this by delete the cache in "Manage applications" about "nearby devices" in "all" tab
I think there a little bug here.
bye
Have a thank you.
Only discovered i had this issue and assumed it was my nooblet self did it rooting and having fun removing some bloatware yesterday.

For me, a hard reset works fine until I start adding the stuff I backed up back into the phone (folders, etc), seems like it gets stuck scanning for media.
guys it works for me every time but it needs little patience
open settings-> nearby devices and then wait for 30 seconds..it will then allow to enable file sharing
may be it scans SD card during all this time

thanks kuberchib, :good:
your solution works (15-20 sec to waiting), but you must activate wifi to have access to it.
Before update, SG3 say to activate wifi when you try to change something.

Can you please look at the attached photo? Is there anyone also facing the same?

Firstly, I want to say that the ROM is fantastic, I'm loving it!
Recently Im coming into issues, though. Any websi te with flash. Its saying I need flash, and when I go to the market to update flash, it says its not compatible with my phone.. in fact. A lot of apps on the market are saying not compatible with my phone now.. Any ideas? Thanks
Bump... Need a fix please =/
Samething is happening with mine too.

Bump..... Please help?
First, get titanium backup. Completely uninstall flash via TB, then reboot. Download flash from the market and it should work fine.
If after that you end up with flash audio but no sound, then you need to get an app called " root explorer " and edit a system file to fix it. I can't remember off the top of my head which file and where but that issue was discussed in the liquid 3.0 thread, maybe 3.1, not too sure now.

I found the reason apps are saying "not compatible" with your device. Apparently my google profile has my phone and two other randomly named devices on it... Anyone know how to get rid of the useless ones? I cannot for the life of me find where to delete these device profiles...

I haven't been able to delete them, but you can hide them from device lists in the Market and they won't give you that problem
on the webpage, click on the settings wheel in the top left corner --> my market account --> settings tab, click edit on any devices you don't use --> hidden in menus (under visibility), and make sure you hit update
I'm trying that, but this is absolutely ridiculous. There are three devices listed, and when I click to hide two of then, only one is hidden and the other two show, no matter what....
Turns out that this is a known issue to google, they're working on a fix. Hopefully soon, and hopefully the cause (and fix) behind all this.
Hi all
I've encountered a problem on my S2 regarding contacts. When I do a search by entering any letter those persons who have these letter will show on my screen. The functionality in that regard is working fine however it will also show up those persons that I've marked as hidden.
For instance I unmarked for show any contacts from my sim card. However when I do a search it will show any persons with that letter including those from my sim card?
Anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
I believe this either happened when I updated the firmware to the latest. ics 4.0.3 and dunno if its a known problem?
Or it could be related to me rooting my s2.
However I did a stock firmware install but the problem still persists.
I've tried on mine and I get duplicates too. I think the hidden ones only stay hidden in your Contacts menu and not your search function. Either this is a default thing or it can be edited using a script. Either way, I don't have a problem with it, but I can see why it is annoying you. Sorry I can't help much, I'm a bit of a noobie myself.

Thank you for replying because I certainly needed a confirmation that it wasnt me that messed up my phone.
Alternative solution would be to simply delete all contacts in my sim card and it would ease my annoyance but still I would say this is not very optimal.
But you did help me by replrying .. thank you.
EDIT:
A friend of mine who also has a s2 but who is still on gingerbread do not have this problem. So I suspect either my phone to be the culprit which seems not to be the case, it would have to be an issue on ICS in general?

I found a fix today I have had this problem for 2 months and today decided to fix it at all costs here's what I did.
Go to settings>applications>manage applications>all
Look for media storage and select it now you click clear data job done I haven't rebooted to see if it sticks after reboot but it hopefully will

Thanks for your response. Great!! I just followed your steps and Rebooted my devices and its WORKING!!
Many thanks for getting things resolved. Its been the major problem with my device.
I Tried googling and found in many forums that its due to some unsigned apps that causing the problem. Just wondered, how clearing the media contents resolved this one.
Could you please provide the scene behind media storage and please let me know hoe could this solves the issue.

Hi There, It seems like temporary fix for this issue. When the media app has some data in it, this problem reproduced. is there any permanent way to get rid of it?
Am in GB2.3.5, very sooner, i will get ICS 4.0.4 in my device. will that solve this problem?
Kindly help me..
install touch boton disable
CONGRATULATIONS, You really are great, clear media data solved the problem even without rebooting.
I have been surfing for a solutin wihout succes till I founded this Foto.
THANKS. thanks I meet your comments.
Do not give up and find the root cause.

my solution
I use an app called screen filter at night to darken my screen. I have found that the install button won't function when screen filter is engaged, disengage it and the install
button works again.

Here's the thing for me though... I don't use a screen filter. I have always just used the display timer in the device's settings. And I do have "Unknown Sources" enabled. It just stopped working though.
I tried the Media Storage fix, but it didn't work, before or after rebooting.

Thank you!

UPDATE: Figured it out! Of all things, it was a Clipboard app that I recently installed, called "Copy Bubble". Thanks though!
I had the same situation, I mean when I tried to install any apps with unknown source I had active cancel button and inactive install button.
After wipe and install clean rom everything was OK so I was sure that issue was by my installed apps. In this case: Lux Auto Brithness. After freezing this apps - install button is active.
Screen filtering apps causes this issue.
I believe they add layer and android disables INSTALL considering security..
If clearing data for media storage seems like temporary fix, then no permanent fix(?) is there instead removing the app thats causing the screen overlay (Unless devs find one and they will):good:
In my case it was EDGE MASK app's rounded corners effect that was causing issue.. Disabled it and worked..
Google for screen filtering apps and find your's..
I think I originally placed this under the wrong forum so here we go again!
Good Morning All!
As per the subject, I'm having trouble uploading a photo onto my Whatsapp profile. Keeps saying 'Failed to upload Image data' Try again later'.
Can anyone help at all please. I've tried loads of things to no avail.
Many thanks,

A few things to try (I'm sure you've done them already but just in case)...
1. Scale the image to different sizes before saving.
2. Make sure your wifi or data is on, as the app sometimes needs to consult with whatsapp servers for operations like that.
3. Make a backup of the app. Then go to Settings > Apps > select Whatsapp and then 'Clear Data'. See if that's fixed it.
4. If not, as a last result, after backing up your app data, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app.
5. Make sure it's the most up to date version from the play store.
6. If you have a custom recovery, you could try to fix permissions from TWRP or CWM.
7. Shout loudly at it and make threatening gestures. :silly:
I'll install it and see if I can reproduce the problem.
EDIT: Installed it and was able to upload profile photo without problem. Sorry.
Really appreciate the advice, I really do. None of it has worked though!
Bloody annoying....
Bugger. I wonder if it's not WhatsApp, but your gallery app that's the issue? Have you tried using something like QuickPic perhaps? Just a thought...

Same again! Using Quick pic.
Could it be that I don't have an SD card in the phone yet?

Yeah you'll need a SD card for that.
I found a fix for that on my tab... I don't remember it right now, I'll post it tomorrow...

Wahey! Perhaps I should've mentioned that from the start so apologies there.
Ordered a Sandisk 8GB Micro SD yesterday anyhow for £5.50 which I thought was a good price. Apparently, originally £18 or so.
Mine doesn't work either on my Company Wifi. Interesting part is that Windows Phone, Blackberry folks can upload and send photos without a prob. Just the android clients are having this problem.
works only from internal sd with me. from external sd i get error massage. hope it helps
on my sgs4
Hey. I started encountering the same problem. I cant change my profile picture and i cant send pics to anyone. I am using a custom rom on my sgs4 and i WAS using whatsapp reborn when this problem occurred. Even after switching to the original one didn't solve the issue. I reinstalled the rom, reinstalled whatsapp after clearing all the date and cache. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas why this is happening?
hi all
hi Pedro, just disable the developer option..to do that go to settings, more, developer option and disable it..see if that works..
Try this; Settings > App Manager > "Go to the App. Permission screen to change permission for individual apps." > WhatsApp > Shared files - - ON.

Thank God I found this thread! This same thing happened to me the night of the 17th, but the message appeared and disappeared so quickly for me to see that I only caught a vague glimpse of the word "attacker $..." and could not be sure. I still tried searching online and posting in a forum but came up with nothing. And the weirdest thing is even though this is a download, it does not appear in the downloads folder! I haven't reset my phone yet, as I thought I might have been wrong somehow and it was the regular Instant Apps download or something. I had the premium version of ESET active on my phone at the time, monitoring all downloads and apps and this one didn't even appear there. None of the other scanners I later downloaded found anything either.
At least now I know I'm not going crazy and this indeed happened. I wonder if this had anything to do with the recent Facebook security breaches and server outages.
I am going to reset my phone too, just in case, take some backups tonight and reset. But @DarkCloudF you said the problem reappeared even after reset? Maybe it installed itself into the system so a factory reset did not remove it? If that is the case, then we got a whole new thing.
Please keep me updated here with your findings, I'm still using the phone as it is, I don't know how to go about this, if reset did not solve the problem, I will admit I'm not very tech savvy and this worries me to no end maybe I should just turn the phone off until I know more and reset.

Dear SeaMonster26
I did a reset and after i installed the facebook app the same thing happened again then i reinstalled the official firmware for my device using odin then updated all the apps but not facebook and kept monitoring my device for two or more hours and nothing happened then i updated facebook and waited more also nothing happened but after i signed into facebook using the facebookapp it happened again i sent a message to the facebook support but they didn't reply
The last thing i did was that i updated my device to the latest version of the official firmware (for me it's android 7.0) and updated the facebookapp then from the settings->apps->show system apps i disabled the facebook app manager and the facebook app installer
Then i signed into facebook using the app that was 2 days ago and untill now i didn't see that message again i'm not sure if the problem is gone this way but i think the manager or the installer are responsible for this
You can try disabling those two apps as i did after you reset your device and check if it reappears
I'm still trying to figure this out i hope this would help you
Best regards
