Application Not installed error when installing apk file

Hi all,

I have Samsung galaxy pop and i was successful in installing angry birds previously. Once i uninstalled and when i now try to install it says "Appllication not installed". I downloaded another version of Angry Birds and tried to install but it too shows the same problem. I also tried to install Fruit Ninja, it too shows the same error "Application not installed". Initially i thought that the problem is with all apk files but i found out that i was able to install real Player in the phone and also many other apps. How can i install Angry Birds/Fruit Ninja ??
 
This sounds like it might be a Market issue perhaps. Try going in to your Settings > Application Settings > Manage Applications and tap on the top tab that says All... scroll down till you find Market and tap on it. Then tap on the Clear data button (your Market settings should get reset, too).

See if that helps. If not, let us know!

Try going to menu>settings>applications and select the "all" tab. From there scroll to Google Play tap on it and select force stop, clear data and clear cache, the restart your phone.

From what I've read online most people recommend doing a full factory reset if that doesn't work, but if clearing the data from Google Play doesn't work, it's likely the rest won't either (at least that seems to be the consensus from others who've tried.) And, if that doesn't work, it's likely to be a memory failure, which means then phone must be sent in for repair.
