samsung apps update problem

[rad4it]

since owning my samsung galaxy s2, the samsung apps is showing up with 2 updates unla service and samsung apps, however when i go into them they tell me download complete, also i keep getting the install blocked message for security,your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from android market. Wether these applications have been downloaded or not i dont know, but either way i cant seem to clear them off the samsung app

Hi go into settings > Apps> and make sure you tick unknown sources

that will fix it all

Yeah, just don't go installing random apps from suspicious websites and you'll be fine.

i shall give it a go, also having problems retrieving my windows live messages at the mo, would you know anything about that, sorry to be a pain. It has been working fine then today i cant get any of my messages up on there inbox or sent. i will just try turning it off in a mo, i know that sometimes fixes problems

Restarting the phone is always a good first thing to try. It fixes so many problems. You might also wish to try going to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > all tab > Email > Clear cache.

done that, i have closed the email account and have tried going back into it, but it will not retrieve data, just goes to time out

In that case I would remove the account and re-add it. Have you tried accessing your account on a computer to check it's not just a problem with the email server?
