A friend of mine wants to buy a Desire S. He won't have 3G in his subscription for the mobile phone. In other words: the phone could only have an internet-connection by using WiFi.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have a WiFi access point in his house, because his father can not stand the radiation. All the internet-connections in his house are wired, and none of the neighbours have an unsecured WiFi access point.
So, this would mean he can't use the market, because the phone can't be connected to internet at his house. Ofcourse, he could download apps at school or at one of his friend's houses, but this is a bit unpractical.
In other words; I am looking for a certain app on the PC or a website, which can browse through the Market, and download the APKs, so he can install them manually (only the free ones ofcourse).
I already checked AndroLib and Cyrket, but none of them provides a downloadlink, only a QR-code.
Is there any alternative, or is the only way of downloading apps at his house searching APKs manually by using Google?
Thanks in advance.
That's a tough one. You can browse the market from any browser. You just need to go to https://market.android.com/.
However, when you "purchase" an app, it will only send via cellular, not internet.
I wish you luck on this.
Well, you could do that on Nokia phones by accessing the 'ovi' site and using some parameters to make the site "think" you were accessing using a mobile phone. In Android Market I don't think you can do that... But there's a way to get the programs needed: with YOUR help !!!
If you have an Android phone, you can download the apps he needs and then backup them using Titanium Backup or App Backup and Reinstall. The 'apk' files will be saved in a directory and you can send them to your friend by bluetooth, or put then on a usb pen...
But... let me tell you this: the Android phone relies SO MUCH in internet data that not having wifi nor 3g subscription is almost a crime, specially having a Desire S !!!
Thanks for the help guys!
Guess I'll have to help him whenever he wants new apps, but that isn't a big deal.
At least there is another one who switched to Android
just google the file and youll get the app.
is there a app that lets you download using 3g/4g without having to use wifi,there are some files that it wont let u download unless you have wifi on! I know the iphone has a program call 3g unristrictor that make the phone think your on wifi but your really on 3g

It's an app-specific limitation. For example, gtalk limits video to wifi only.
Many apps have had their restrictions lifted, but you have to find a hacked version of whatever apps are restricted. (e.g. hacked Talk APKs.)
Get the aptly named app, "Download All Files".

maybe hes talking about how the browser is picky about downloading some files. install the astro file explorer and enable browser downloads.
He's talking about games and stuff. Amazon app store requires you to have wifi to.download some apps larger that. 20mbs I believe

2 options:
If your computer has a wifi receiver, it's also actually a transmitter, and you can use a program such as mHotspot or Virtual Router to broadcast a wifi hotspot from your home broadband through your computer. It can be a bit glitchy, and your speeds won't be as good as your actual broadband, bu
Or, if your phone is rooted, you can reverse tether it via USB. This method is rather complicated though, might not work with your phone, and might not work with large games/apps that require a cellular data connection or wifi to download (although you can trick this into working with Xposed and the Fake Wifi module). Again, it's quite complicated, but if your PC doesn't have built-in wifi, you don't have any other choice to try.

Well, you could sprinkle some faerie dust on it, wave a magic wand, and say "abracadabra".

yes.. but what i want is to download directly from playstore,
so that I can download official game/app updates too.
& I can carry my phone with me for my day use,
& all the stuff will be downloaded on PC that I can install it later on my device(s).
I am not talking about cracked apk, I am talking about paid apps/games :angel:

I am using Mobogenie , since 3 months now..
but Mobogenie allow to download & install only app, not its data or cache..
e.g. :
If I install sygic maps or asphalt 8 through Mobogenie I can only download & install the app not its data,
I have to use wifi or 2g/3g/4g to download app data.. which is sometimes 500mb++ in size..
That thing, the cache or app data downloading, I want to done by Mobogenie or some other software...
So.. Any HELP in that?
update
Please describe in brief how to upgrade apk apps and games using android device through pc.
Just a thought. .. Say I downloaded a game off the Play store with my Android and i get home and someone else also wants it. I recently found out theres an app called "ApkShare" to send this game install via wifi bluetooth etc. to another device. So since this is possible could pc app not be created that allows u to backup ur apps/games u download to a home server so that whoever has access via wifi or bluetooth can then download that apps u backed up.
Something with like a XBMC interface on ur android device.
Oh is this old news... if so what is it called?
