Hey guys any way to try and reset any of this, for some odd reason I am constanly getting stuck in an install loop, no matter if I'm on the play store or the amazon app store, downloads the entire file just fine and then constantly just says install...

How would I go about fixing this? really starting to bug the heck outta me...

edit: this all started after I went on a long trip this past week and had gotten alot of sand in my pocket it which in turn got into the usb port on the side...don't think that would have caused it though, also there's no signs of water damage

Have you tried a soft reset (e.g. turn power off, remove battery for :60, put battery back in, power up)?

If you've tried that, I know there's another soft reset procedure that Sprint CS can do that might help also.

I know what you're talking about, but I always attributed it to installs happening while I went out of service area. Soft reset has always fixed it for me.
