Karthik R 246 Report post Posted November 18, 2011 Before attempting a manual installation of apps using the .apk files, you must first allow your phone to install from “Unknown Sources” (i.e. non-Market apps). To do this, navigate to Menu > Settings > Applications and check the box marked “Unknown Sources“. Step 1: Install File Manager Android does not natively come with any method of browsing the data on your SD card, so you will need to install a file manager from market. I suggest ASTRO File Manager. Step 2: Copy .apk file to SD card. Once you have ASTRO File Manager installed, connect your Android device to your PC using your USB cable. Mount the SD card and copy over the .apk file you would like to install. Step 3: Install .apk On your Android device. Navigate to the .apk file using ASTRO File Manager and select it. This will open a dialog box allowing you to install the app. Select “Open App Manager“. On the next two pages, select “Install” to install the .apk. Your new app is now installed. Simple!

phonegeek 588 Report post Posted November 18, 2011 2 disadvantages of manual installation of apk file: 1. No update of apps. 2. Finding apk file is difficult. I would suggest to get wifi router or if that is not possible then you can make your laptop as wifi router and then you can use Android Market on the phone. Sent from my EVO3D using tapatalk.
