Why does it happen and any remedy besides temporary disabling those apps?

I'm having this problem too on my xperia p, it started recently, but i don't think it has anything to do with night mode or screen filter, because i don't even have them installed but the same happens to me.
Same here on Sola with any ROM. It seems to be problem in that apps. I'm using "Screen Filter".

It has definately a connection wid these apps
As disabling these apps enables the install button
U must b using some other app

Hey guys,
Is anyone else having problems sideloading apps on the Amaze, even with unknown sources checked? Every time I try to install anything, I can only click "cancel" and not "install". It's quite frustrating. Thanks.

Interesting.
What apps are you trying to install?
Perhaps they're corrupted?
Try an adb push.
adb push appname.apk /data/app/
You may have to reboot but that might do the trick.
You can also try an apk installer (or manager).
These apps aren't (gasp) protected are they?

Alright, so here's the deal. Did a factory data reset thinking that it wouldn't do anything and it fixed the issue. Weird...

Having this problem now...
I just did a wipe to install beast mod and I am getting it. Wanted to try out Extended controls. 4Shared it and I can cancel but not install.

Reboot and all is golden~

Don't know if it'l let you push to /data* anyways, instead I would try:
Code:
adb install appname.apk
Having this problem now with stock ROM with latest update and no root. It started all of a sudden. Although rebooting fixes the problem, it does so temporarily. This is also affecting installs from the Amazon App Store. Any ideas?

I have this problem with Amazon apps. I haven't tried anything else from the Market.
Restarting my phone fixes this problem for me but after a day or two it does it again.
I am running completely out of the box stock.
So yeah you're not the only one having this problem.
Possible Solution
Found the solution to my problem. Apparently when it's enabled, the Screen Filter app was preventing the side loading of applications. When I disable Screen Filter, I can side load my apps and the Amazon App Store installs applications normally. I no longer have to reboot. Hope this helps.

That would explain why restarting the phone solved the problem, temporarily.
Until of course we all enabled "Screen Filter" again and then it would stop working.
Testing that now.
I have a similar problem when running Lux Auto Brightness.
Disable Lux, sideload the app, re-enable Lux.

This is actually because of the application "Screen filter"
It's actually a security measure build into Android. It's so an application cannot 'trick' you into installing malicious software. (ie. let's say screen filter was hacked to swap the cancel/install buttons.. to make "cancel" appear as "install" etc)
Basically any app that overlays the entire screen disables the install button from working, for added security.

I just started having this problem tonight.
I often sideload apps and never have a problem..
But tonight I just tried, and suddenly I can no longer click the "Install" button after scrolling through permissions.
I can click cancel fine to go back..
but Install button just won't click.
(and I have no "screen filter" app anywhere.)
Running stock 4.2.2 on my GNex.
Help?!
Edit: Found help here~http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40074791&postcount=34
Glovebox was the culprit
As per the title I get a strange behavior with the screen randomly (every 30 mins) when in sleep mode.
It happens both with data and sync on and in flight mode.
I'm on the latest fw of my intl. S3, I had this issue since the beginning.
I'm rooted.
How can I detect what is causing it? Is there an app?

It happens both via 3G and Wifi (where my ICS Tablet does not have the issue).
More importantly it happens in flight mode.
Thanks but I think it is an app or an OS part.
So, is this the cause ??
Happens with me too, but I am unrooted to try this method.

I have not tried, but I don't think it is a network related issue as it happens also when in Flight mode (everything switched off).
Make sense?

I tried in the past with no luck.
Partial wakelocks gives to me a huge numbers of apps/services. I do not see the option to have "the last one that caused the screen to go on".
Can you help me to narrow the search?
Help me!!
Am I the only with this issue???
It happened to me tonight, but I have never noticed it until now.
If u got the official Facebook app installed, then uninstall it and see what happens.
Otherwise uninstall your apps 1 by 1, untill u find the rouge app.this caused by an app

I had the exact same issue, and the same question a day or two ago.
I did what a previous user stated, I traced back my steps and uninstalled the latest apps I had installed and then installed one by one and found the one causing the problem. Unfortunately I cannot remember which app it was for me, but it can be any one of them.
Guess there must be a way to log all current system activity to a file and once it happens, check the log?

The problem with the "bug" in this case is that it drains battery power unnecessarily

The screen flash twice or 3 times every 30 mins, for a couple of seconds.
It is a drain, but I don't think a huge one.

This is also happening to me intermittently.
Even when I was on ICS (no root).
I rooted my SXS (locked bootloader) and it's still the same.
Badly need help.

Hello folks,
after updating to 4.4.4 the lock screen Walkman music controllers are gone, now I have to unlock then open the Walkman App or the notification to pause or play. any fix for this?
I'm on stock ROM, locked bootloader.
Please I don't wanna repair via PC Companion as I'll waste a lot of time getting my stuff back together after it erases the internal storage.
They removed it completly... So PCC repair wont make anything better.
Only way maybe, is too root and find some mode or xposed module to bring this back.

There is a way around....Android. policy.jar has to be modified.Its fairly simple if you are familiar with decompiling and recompiling files.Unfortunately its been too long and this knowledge escapes me at the moment. I will do a little research and possibly start working on it if time permits.
