From you HOME page, click Settings, Applications. Make sure Unknown sources is selected then try downloading and installing your apps again. This might resolve you problem.

OH! I would love to see someone with an android phone from AT&T try this method.  Especially since AT&T "requested" all android phones that they carry have this option disabled.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

@rob not a bad idea at all. There "shouldn't" be a requirement to do this when installing from the market, but this shouldn't be happening either, so good thought.

I would love to see Anne as a continuing contributor to the verizon forums :smileywink:

Fortunately we are all on Android, where even if a particular carrier requests that things be removed there is generally a good developer around to help out.

Yeah, it's called Android Central's Sideloading Wonder Machine and requires a computer.  The only other way to get the function natively back on those phones is to "break" the phone and void its warranty.
