Hi,

I'm Ben and -- hopefully -- I can provide some meaningful assistance.

How do you install apps on Android?

The following applies to any app that you might want to install on your Android tablet.

There are a few ways to go about this. The easiest is, of course, the Android Market itself. But it's quickly finding competition in the likes of the Amazon Appstore. And there are smaller third-party app stores as well, though they haven't necessarily caught on as much as you'd think.

The Android Market

The Android Market is the easiest way to install new Android apps. It should already be installed on your phone or tablet. If it's not, chances are you have one of those (really) cheap Android tablets, and it didn't meet Google's approval. That doesn't mean you can't install new apps, though, and we'll talk more about that in a minute.

Android Market To use the Android Market, you'll need to be signed in with a Google account. Chances are you did this when you first set up the phone. But if not, you can add a Google account to your phone (and even sign up for one at the same time) straight from your phone. Go to Settings>accounts to do so.

Once you're logged in, you'll be able to browser the Android Market, purchase apps, or download free apps. The Android Market also is where you'll update apps you've already loaded. Purchasing apps is done a couple of ways.

1. One is through Google checkout. You give it a credit card number, and it manages the transactions for you.
2. Another way is through carrier billing. If you're on Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile you can charge apps to your phone bill.

There are also a couple ways to browse the Android Market. You'll mostly likely do it from your phone. But if you're at a computer, you can browser, purchase and install apps from the Android Market web portal. It's at www.market.android.com.

Fun fact about the Android Market: Once you've purchased an application, you can download it onto as many phones as you have. Need more space on your phone? Uninstall an app and put it back on later if you need it again, at no additional charge.
To install from the Android Market on your phone

Android Market

• Choose an app.
• To install, tap "Free" (If it's a paid app, you'll tap "Purchase"
• You'll be asked to accept permissions -- this shows you what the app can access on your phone. Hit yes, and the app will download and install.

Note: You can cancel a download as it's happening. For paid apps, you can request a refund within 15 minutes.
To install apps from the Android Market

Android Market

1. Go to market.android.com from a web browser.
2. Pick an app. Hit the install button.
3. You'll be asked to accept permissions, and choose which device you want to install on (if you have more than one).
4. Look over the permissions and hit the install button again. The app will magically be downloaded and installed on your phone.

The Amazon Appstore

A relative newcomer is the Amazon Appstore. It's similar to the Android Market in that you'll have to have an account with Amazon to use it. Unlike the Android Market, the Amazon Appstore likely didn't come pre-installed on your phone, so you'll need to download it.

Once it's on your phone, you can download apps directly from it or, like the Android Market, from a web portal. App downloaded through the Amazon Appstore will be updated through the Amazon Appstore and not through the Android Market.

The following tutorial video will take you through the entire process better than my written words.

Hello Janine,

If you removed the icon from your home screen, you can simply add it again from the app drawer (blue square icon with 4 white squares in it). The "market" has been updated to "Google Play" and the icon has changed so just look for the new app because the old icon most likely has been replaced.

If you have neither icon in your app drawer, you can download the Google Play app again on your computer. You can go to www.google.com and click on "Play" at the top of the screen. This is the same market as you had on your phone and and you can download and install apps to your phone from your computer.

I hope this helps, if you need more clarification I'm happy to help :)

Thanks,

Pat

Where are you downloading apps from, the phone/tablet or on a PC? Have you setup a gmail account on your phone yet? A gmail account is required to register the phone/tablet on the android market.

I googled the same and found that you have to upgrade your firmware.
It's a bit fiddly, but it does get the job done. You'll need an SD card
to transfer the data. The link is: http://www.mediafire.com/?ncqvw4bpc0s6e
Load the instructions first then proceed. All the best...

1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Applications
3. Go to Manage applications
4. Go to all tabs
5. Gp to "Market" applications
6. "Clear Cache" then "force stop" - DO NOT CLEAR DATA
7. Now go to "google service framework" applications
8. "Clear data" then "force stop"
9/ Reboot your machine/

This should solve your problem

Your HTC Wildfire has the Android 2.1 OS. As such, there are several apps at Android Market you can use to download books. Just download whichever app you need. Most are free.

However, I STRONGY suggest that you download Lookout to your phone before installing any apps!

Your phone is an HTC with the Android OS. I'm not familiar with the newest apps from Android Market for your purpose. However, if an app is available that will work for what you want it to do, it would be found on Android Market.

I would however caution you to download Lookout Mobile Security FIRST before you download any apps to your phone.

Lookout Mobile Security Download:

FTP Apps for Android:

I'll suggest you download it from playstore to keep your device secure.
