I have this game which has a apk file and sd file.Now what to do.
You need a file browser so you can find the file on your card and then you will be able to open and install it

Help me to install games in my xperia x10 from PC as i cant access mobile internet.
Either use adb from the android SDK or copy the files to your sdcard and then use a file manager from the market that can install apk files!

Appbrain.com is nice and simple, although if you are looking for paid apps for free you will have to find on your although, the sites do exist.

Hello folks,
I've got an .apk file on my sd card. To install that app, i need to unmount my SD-Card. Therefor i cannot install my app - which is located on the sd card - anymore. I want to do it without the market. I already tried to move the file with the astro-manager to the mnt folder (which you can still see even you unmounted your sd card). But i couldn't copy the file with astro to this folder.
Any suggestions?
Try AppInstallerV2
You may need to move files .apk to a PC via Wi-Fi.
I do this.
Move. Apk file to pc.
Run ES File Explorer on MINI connection WiFi to PC part to .apk.
Click to .apk.
ES File Explorer to install the files. Apk by way of it to Phone.
Or do it using the adb install command.
Have a look here for ADB Infos.
Upload apk to DropBox, copy link, paste in Browser and install
*ouch* Why didnt i have this idea?
Thanks codiak that worked
i used this command ( just for other users which have the same problem as me )
adb install path/on/windows/myfile.apk
What is ES file explorer.& where can I get it?

Google? First hit: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-estrongs-android-pop-znE.aspx
I think it is not pre-installerd, only Astro file manager.
Hello again, ive come across another problem, ive just tried to download cyanogenmod zip file on my phone but as soon as the download starts it stops straight away, when i click on it it says download not supported for your phone??
I can download from market and i can also download a rar file from this site as well, so it just seems to be zip files.
It was fine yesterday, does anyone have any advice please??
Thanks

Wrong forum. This is more a question. But you need to install a filebrowser capable of reading zip files to download them. ES File Explorer or I/O File Explorer would do the trick. It does on mine.
Download astro file manager, free in market, and then go to preferences>> enable browser downloader. Now you can download anything
Or use Opera Mobile for your browser

Hello!
I am new to android and need to know a little bit about the .APK files.
Now I don't know about the users of other phones, but Xperia PLAY users can now download a couple of EA games for free, using the Xperia PLAY app. When we click on a particular game, say Worms for instance, they take us to a webpage where from we download an .APK file.
This file later installs the app or the game in the phone. My question is what happens to this .APK file. I mean I can assume that the .APK was downloaded in SD because we are talking about androids which don't have much internal space. But the real question is; are we supposed to delete these .APK files, as we do in Windows' computers with the .exe files or are they deleted on their own?

.APK files don't just act as an executable installers but they also act as the main executable of the application itself. when you install an application off your sd card, a copy of the .APK file is moved to /data/app/. You are then free to delete the .APK file from the download directory on your SD Card
So u r telling me that all the applications I hav downloaded so far (both which hav been uninstalled and which are still installed) have their apk's filling up ny de memory.

No when you uninstall an app the .APK is deleted from /data/app/
Ok but what about the apk of installed and uninstalled apps in the sd card? Do I hav to delete them manually?

Yeah once you install an app, if you want to save space you have to delete the .APK off your SD Card manually

I think he means the .APK he used to install the app, .APK's are no longer held in the android_secure folder
hey, i just bought an SGS4 , and i tried to write something to android/obb folder , and whenever i try to do that it says the device is not connected...
why cant i write to obb ? and there is any way of bypassing it ?
I have the same problem.
My solution is to just download it on your phone and extract it to your obb folder.
Or put the zip/rar on your sd and extract to obb
You'll have to download an unzipper like androzip

What if the file is too large to download on your phone?
Hmm - I guess I'll try the AntTek Explorer / Androzip method.
