I have this problem, suddenly, I cant install any apk outside playstore, I have backups of all my apps, but now I cant reinstall them, I checked the option at settings to allow installs of non playstore origin, but, useless, I tried wiping phone, and reinstalling a nandroid I made before the problem appeared, some ideas? thanks in advance

this same thing happened to me yesterday when i was trying to download stuff from xposed, it said downloading error 504. i didnt do anything with my phone like the guides tell u. they say delete cache and data and etc from play store app in app manager. i didnt do that.

this is what i done- i disabled mobile data as i was using wifi but i generally just keep it on just incase . then i fully turned off my router and then switched it back on. then i made my phone forget my wifi and then i set it up again. then everything was fine and all was back to normal. i heard this happens sometimes, dont do any big steps just be patient and it will sort out with time, as its a gateway error and nothing u or the service can do about it- i know this according to what ive already read. :good:

ok, thanks nayanwaghmare, but my problem is a little diferent, I can download, apks, from any source, but when I reach the screen where you see the permissions an the options to cancel or install, the button for.installing does nothing, only the cancel or back work, only the play store has no problem, as it installs automatically, I dont know what to do

Do you have any screen overlay app running, like screen filter or lux? You need to disable those to be able to click the "install" button -- this is a security feature in android.
