Hello, and thanks for entering!
For certain problems with my phone I have no way to install an apk since I have no file browser, or wifi, or bluetooth, etc.
Now, is there any way to install an application alternately?
Thanks in advance!
Install using adb
Try downloading the app on your pc and install it using adb.

Of course, the main problem I have is that neither does the USB detect me ... Am I ruined?
If you have a browser installed, you probably don't need a file browser, just download an apk from any website, and open it from the downloading list in the browser. you may start with a file manager.

As I said: I don't have Wi-Fi or a way to communicate with the internet. The only thing that works for me is the sd, it reads it but I have no way to open the apk it contains ...

With Dolphin-HD I can download Zip files and others, but not all.
Install an app that opens Zip and Rar files, then you should be able to download them. Like a filebrowser.
i was able with firefox.
with the original internet app i couldn't.

Thanks fyi, gonna try it.
"Download all files" (get it @market) should do the trick, still haven't tried it though!
I'm using Download All Files and it's working flawlessly.
I've been having an issue with both Google Drive and Dropbox.
I have all my roms, odin restore things, apk files, custom ringtones all stored in Google Drive, previously in Dropbox (I didn't like having to re-login each time I restored the app and data when I installed a new rom). I also store the actually folders themselves on my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab 10.1, both on 4.0.4.
But my issue is that, whenever I download a file (.apk and .epub are the ones I tried because I was trying to install an app and add an ebook to the nook app.) it doesn't download correctly or something, because my .apks all say "Parsing error" and the Nook app tells me it can't open my ebooks even though, I can open both on my computer (Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit, service pack 1). This happens on both my Galaxy Nexus and Tab, on both dropbox and Google Drive. Both Google Drive and Dropbox say they have synced the files correctly.
I realized it was Google Drive and Dropbox, because when I transferred the files directly from my computer to the each device, they worked. The app installed, and the ebook opened, which I was very happy about.
So, I am just wondering if anyone can replicate the issue, fix it, or tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I think it encrypts the file when it downloads so its not a .mobile or whatever file anymore and cannot be opened by the default program.

Well I was trying to use root explorer to put the apks in system/app and the epubs in the Nook/my documents folder.
Seems like it has to be something with your phone. I move .apks and other files back and fourth through dropbox all the time without issue.

Well, it happens on both my Galaxy Tab and my Galaxy Nexus, so... Unless it has something to do with Samsung or Android 4.0.4. It is not my phone.
Yeah, possibly something with ICS.

Not a problem with ICS.
I can transfer files with Dropbox and Drive with no problems.
Have you tried using ES File Explorer's Dropbox and Google Drive integration?

I can transfer files fine, but no, I have not used ES file Explorer drive and dropbox intergration. I've used ES file explorer before, but I really don't like the way it looks.
Try Solid Explorer Beta in Play Store. It has Dropbox and Box integration which works really well, and it looks great.

Yeah, I've used that one before also! I didn't use the Drive and Dropbox intergration though.
I haven't been having any issues anymore,
I found that instead of putting it into offline mode, just download like you are going to install it, and when it fails (because its a system app), go to the /data/app location and it is a usable apk instead of one that say parsing error or cannot be installed.
So the first guy was probably right about the encryption when its in offline mode.
Thanks everyone!
so i try to upload an *.apk to drive, but when i download i hit install but nothing.....

What do you mean by nothing? Does it just fail to install, or sit there for quite some time?
just fail

Just to back this up, I was having the same exact problem. Was using "Make Available Offline" in Google Drive and the file would fail md5 check every time.
Just clicked to "open" the file instead, chose Astro to open the file, and then copy/paste it to the sdcard directory for flashing. All good, md5 passed. I guess there's a level of encryption going on.
For anyone wondering about this still (there are a lot), use Google Drive Download.

Cuts all the BS out of trying to get easy local access to your Google Drive files.
As heading states I would like to know the easiest and simplest way to download files from my pc. Media files are not a problem I use allshare. I would like to be able to download rar zip apk files.
Airdroid let's you view manage and download your phones files on pc now I'm looking for something that can do that from my phone.
I know there are are servers you can set up and that but I don't want to use bandwith just a transfer through WiFi with no Internet connection required.

I use AndSMB from the play store. With AndSMB you can access Windows shares on your PC from your phone. Not sure, but is this what you are looking for?

Remote Web desktop is what you are looking for, download it from market.
Thank you for all the replies.
@Jokesy I am looking for an app that I could use so I can download files from my pc to my phone without actually touching the pc.
I think andsmb is what I'm looking for. I did some research and es file explorer also has this feature.
Could you please give me some sort guide @smilingcruel on how to set it up.
I would greatly appreciate that

Take this my friend it's work perfect
ES File Explorer has a built in FTP-Server.
It even lets you create a separate quickstart icon for the server.
You can easily access your phone through your whole LAN from any PC.
Sync'ing never was that easy :laugh:
airdroid is good; but if you want to see all files in your phone, then use droidexplorer

Too complicated. Just setup a FTP server. If you contact me via PN I can send you a lightweight no-install FTP server
which you can access with your phone (e.g. with "ES File Explorer" or "AndFTP").

Already answered! Read the thread from the beginning.
Thank you everyone for your replies.
I have got both LAN shares and FTP working flawlessly with es explorer.
I don't really see the need for allshare anymore

Use ES File Explorer, ensure that folder is shared on your PC first and in ES file explorer select Local from drop down menu and hit search it should detect your PC IP address, then select it and you should be able to view the folder that you've shared.

Hello I'm trying to fix my phone because I was deleting the junk from T-Mobile but it seems that i deleted something important so I don't have Launcher.
I tried to open the browser, download Go Launcher ex.apk and install it but my phone says the file cannot be open, so my 2nd plan was to download it direct from Play, so I open the browser and want to install but it says I need to open the Play app, anyone know if its posible to open an app from a link or install and apk from the computer to the phone like on Nokia Ovi Suite?
Any help would be appreciated
You need to enable non-market sources in the system settings.
If you do not have a file manager, you can install an .apk 2 ways
In browser, type "file:///path-to-file/file.apk"
Through adb "adb install path-to-apk"

Any .apk will do? .apk is just the extension that apps are in, essentially your asking how to install an app to your android phone.
Just open the play store and download is the most common way, you can side load with adb, if you have an app on SD you can use a file explorer to open it then choose install (must have unknown sources checked)
I guess you may want to be a bit more specific for further help

You're taking it a bit far with adb there don't u think?
It's too much for his brain to process, slowly ease into it.

simply saying it is an extension like .exe on windows programmes or .jar on java apps just like that android apps have .apk
