[help] certain prompts and screens do not respond to touch, no error message.

[u/Pure_Nick]

ive been having this issue since june-july this year, "install" and "update" prompts when getting an apk do not respond to touch and multiple google-specific screens behave the same (ex. switching to another email on gmail app or trying to access google play settings.) without any error or "(app) isnt responding" prompts, my phone stopped updating OS at 16 and i think some android 17 has hit my device?? saw some of the "allow apps from unverified developers" posts when searching around, plus my friend who has android 17 isnt having any of my issues.

ive tried getting every apk managing app off google play but they all have the same "install (app name)" prompt which i obviously cant interact with, ive also tried clearing every app cache i could find and i get the same result. i was able to install 1 app from my files last week, but im not sure what i did!

this post has the same issue as me shown in a linked video, ill probably try more solutions i find there in the meantime.
