what was the application that you installed some days back? also, when the download starts, click and hold on the process in the notification bar, open app info, force stop.

Will the force stop work to disable it forever?? i dont remember what was the app...
and is there any way to completely remove that process?? so it will not download any app automatically forever?

Try following the instructions you've been given.

that is not permanent. you need to force stop it every time you reboot the phone. try uninstalling the apps one by one and reboot phone after every un-installation. possibly cheap rated apps with ad support may cause this.

Alright. Thanks all for helping me.... im glad that this community is very helpful for all the android users....

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.
See signature for device, Rooted, running KitKat 4.4.4
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..

Phone's screwing up.

Hi there,
I need some help with my phone. Every time I restart it or turn it on, it will switch on to the Sony Ericsson logo, then repeat this process until I get lucky and it decides to head to the lock screen, where after loading all start up applications, would proceed to restart.
Then, afterwards, it rearranges all my icons for me, and then none of the applications will work and they just crash. In addition, I keep getting crash messages from apps like Hotmail and Battery Booster and the phone's extremely laggy, as well as the accelerometer won't work.
Can anyone help me?

Did you install Xposed Framework? If so, then you have to install the second screen fix for it, otherwise that will occur.

I've had the same issue. I had to wait 10 minutes (seemed like hours), and then closed the app. After I re-launched the app, I was able to activate it. Not sure why, but had to do it on both mine and my wife's phones.
