Have you enabled installations from unknown sources? Because as I understand these APK's of yours are located on the memory and not installed from Play store?

yes i have checked that option because without it i wont even reach till the installer also it wil prompt to put a check mark on it. Also i did a factory reset today to see if the problem fixes but the problem persists. wat else can i do to overcome this problem!!!

What kind of app you were trying to install? Did you try installing any other application apk's ?

Actually any .apk file which i download from pc and try to install on my phone was not happening.

well i guess it was the recent software update did not happen properly which caused this. i got it serviced in sony service center as it was still under warranty so nw its working fine.

Thanks
