Most of the time that new card is just an add. I just close it and look back on the previous page for the download button. It usually ask for the captua (spelling) and then you can download.

Hey guys, for the life of me, I can't find that wonderful software that allows you to install apps without connecting the phone to the computer?
It's something to do with hosting it via cloud and then connecting with it wirelessly to download and install?
dropbox.........
dropbox, appbrain, awesome drop...
appbrain is very cool if you use their site to browse the market. You can click on the apps in your browser (pc) and then have them automatically install on your phone.
Thanks guys!
Hey man, if you do go with dropbox (amazing), I have a referral link in my sticky thread (general section) that would give us each an additional 250MBs.
I used your referral link. Quick question on dropbox, is there a way to upload an entire folder on the phone instead of 1 file at a time?
I have 2 browsers installed the default and Firefox 6.0Beta, (I also have tTorrent installed for fun, maybe I'll use it some day) I have been trying to use both of them to download a torrent file, which I will then upload to a separate server via a web UI. Now I've failed with both browsers.
First neither of them like to down a torrent, they either want to open it in tTorrent (even though it is not set as the default Application for anything), or else they do not want to do anything when I click on the Download button (which work in a desktop browser), if I download them by long holding and selecting download link then I get a torrent file in downloads, but I can not upload this file to the remote server, as again neither browser wants to do that I select it and click on upload in the browser and nothing happens.
One of the major things I wanted to do with the phone was be able to select a torrent download it and then upload it to a remote server for processing. This process worked on an old WM phone, which is what has me stumped.
The remote download site can be any say ubuntu (which is what I was using as a test earlier, the upload site is running torrentflux-b4rt and it works from Chrome and FF on the Desktop. Lastly how can I change the default location of Downloads and only downloads to an external SD card? I know I can change everything, but all I want to change is the Downloads folder.
Thanks,
ERIC
I can't download apps from market on my Android device(maybe due to a network issue), so I'm wondering how could I download the apk file of an app on my PC from market.android.com ?
Nope, it just pushes the app directly to your phone. What error is your phone giving you?
you can't download the apk file straight from market
just straight download and install

I believe that Google have been experiencing intermittent market issues their end over the last few days as many others in my local forum have reported issues......just give it some time and try again.
so has any one found a way to download apk files directly from the web via windows / linux with out using android phone / emulator
my phone has not been able to download new files for like a year now .. the downloads just never start ....
surly their must be a firefox plugin by now ?
unless you download it from some site like mediafire, 4shared which is not highly recommended.
there is a method to get .apk from the android market. But just a disclaimer, this doesn't apply to every app on the market.
Just click the app author's name and it will show you the list of other apps the author has on the market. On that page, there is a link saying "visit website for <author>", follow that link. If the author has his website tied directly to sites.google.com, at the bottom of that page there are options to download the .apk of his apps directly to your PC. Of course this mostly happens to apps which are free to begin with.
But just in case, you can also try going to the author's main website and check if they offer their apps as direct .apk download. HTH

you need Downloader Browser-Plugin 1.0
Have the same problem with my new "Vodafone TV" box and couldn't find any solution in the internet. Tried loading the browser plugin suggested above but same error message! The downloader app just simply won't connect to the net, period!!!
So, anyone has a solution, or as the op said, can anyone suggest an alternative?
Pitching in, as I'm a new Shield user with the same issue. Here's the page from AFTnews explaining the issue and the work-around; includes an installation video.
aftvnews.com/browser-plugin-now-available-for-downloader-app-on-android-tv
In short, browser capability had to be removed from the Google Play version so the app could remain in the store. The dev provides an APK at browser.aftvnews.com to add the capability back in. Should be the same APK as rainman74 linked to above (Downloader-Browser-Plugin-v1.0.apk).
However, the AFTnews' recommended action of pointing the Download app's browser to browser.aftvnews.com did not work for me; I received the same web access error message from Downloader.
To get around this, I loaded another web browser (Puffin for Android TV), entered the browser.aftvnews.com URL, and Puffin downloaded the APK. I needed to relaunch Puffin, then select the APK from Puffin's download list to install. Once installed, Downloader was able to access the web.
Hope this helps.

So what do you actually enter at the Downloader http:|| screen?
Good question. I may not have been clear, but I was not able to download the patch APK through the Download application.
Instead, I installed another web browser application (Puffin TV, available in the Android TV's play store) and put the browser.aftvnews.com URL in there. When the Puffin TV web browser loaded the URL, it automatically downloaded the APK from the site.
Once the APK was downloaded, I returned to Puffin TV's main menu and selected the file from the download list. When I selected the APK, it installed the APK to patch Downloader. After that, the Downloader app was able to again access the Internet through its browser.
Note: if you are installing Puffin TV to install the APK, you will need to tell your device to allow Puffin TV to install APK's. By default, Android doesn't grant permission for applications to install APK's. That's OK; you can do so under settings and my guess is your device will tell you how to do so.
