Check if you have activated any screen filters. Disable it. It should work fine.

I had this same trouble with Amazon Appstore. It turned out that my 'nightmode' app used a screen filter, and was preventing me from pressing the install button!

They are not activated unless you install some app (like "Night mode", "Screen filter").

Usually, there will be a notification in notification bar that the app is runnign. You can open the app and disable that mode.

I don't know what "pradeeprk4" meant by screenfilter

go to settings > apps > all > look for any app that you want to uninstall

what does a "screen filter app" has to do with this? if anything an antivirus and/or taskiller could be blocking this not a screen filter app

It definitely is a screen filter. it's in the software, some buttons get blocked by the changes the app makes to the screen. As I already said, I had this exact problem, and it was caused by the screen filter used by nightmode.

which screen filter app?

that application: Screen Filter

@ianpatrocinio If you have "Screen Filter" installed disable it when you want to install something

I've used that app with my Xperia S, T, Arc etc and I've never had that issue, and I dont think that's ianpatroicino's issue.

I did it many times under GB and under ICS. That is a well known bug of this application

look at those links:

I dont think its a well known bug, it might be that this app plus a taskiller and/or antivirus and/or another buggy app create that issue. also, the user who created this thread doesn't say anything about a screen filter, do you have antivirus or taskillers?

bigf28 — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 22:46:16 GMT

That was first application I installed after ICS update. I'm 100% sure that's a bug

I stand corrected, but there has to be a reason behind it, it can't just affect some users while it doesn't affect others with the same phone, it might be a combination of apps

you should contact the developer

Possibly. the particular app I have which uses a filter (nightmode) causes the problem for me when I try and click 'install' after downloading an app from amazon appstore. I'd be interested to compare results of anyone wishing to try the same. I don't think it's an app clash though, I'm certain enough that some apps manipulate a certain layer of the screen to achieve their results, at the cost of other apps which use the same layer to detect presses from certain buttons.
