im trying to install the sirius/xm app on my phne...it was emailed to my moment through gmail..i downloaded it and trying to install but everytime i try it says "not installed"...no more info is given..i checked the box in settings to allow non market applications too...any help would be appreciated..happy holidays!
 
First thought, it must be a bad or incomplete download. Receiving apps via email is not very reliable. I would suggest you download it directly from a reputed website to your computer and transfer it to the phone.
 
thanks...had it sent right from the website...saved it to my desktop..copied it to phones sd card...tried to install and it says the same thing.."not installed"...wondering if something is blocking it? ugh!
 
A number of new apps need a minimum of version Android 2.2. Do you know this app is successfully installed on any other Moment?
 
So you took the APK file and put it on your SD card, then used ASTRO ?? to attempt to install it?

I thinik then your only option is to do it via that link I posted, that walks you through using the android sdk to back door the installation.

I had a simialr issue, where I rooted my phone and updated the GL drivers. the ROM I put on had 3d Gallery, but the new GL drivers didn't work with it. So I plopped on 2d gallery, no issue. Did the exact same process to a friends phone and 2d gallery won't install on his. (I just reflashed his phone with an updated rom that had 3d replaced with 2d gallery)

Good luck with the sdk, let us know how you fare.
 
So you say you've had it on your phone before. Maybe check and see if there is any remnants of that program in your settings. I know I had that problem before so I went to manage applications and say the app i was trying to install and it had 0 bytes listed. So I just installed it and the app I was trying to install went on fine. Hope that helps.
