@roselynECE
You should be able to open Google Play or Android Market, and type in pdf in the search box and it should come up with a range of apps comapitable with your phone. Then, it should tell you in the description area how to use it. Then, press the 'Install' button.

Answer 10

@roselynECE
Follow the instructions. You must have wifi on your phone to do this.
1. Go to https://play.google.com/store and make an account.
2. Sync the Google Account to your phone.
3. Go back to https://play.google.com/store and find an app to read a pdf.
4. Send it to your phone from the website.
5. Accept the download to your phone.
6. Viola!

Answer 11

i only connect my phone to laptop through usb connector

Answer 12

I don't believe it is possible to download a app threw that connection. If it is possible, you will have to complete and implement the package file, which will be complicated and I don't know how to do that. I can see if anyone else on OS can help too.

Answer 17

If it's android, you can install apps with the android market app, or by just downloading .apk files from the internet.

Answer 18

@thomaster @roselynECE
Try these steps.

Settings > Wireless and Networks > WiFi Settings > Turn On WiFi

Look and see if your home network is listed.

Answer 21

Well I have android and I can just download any .apk file and install it on my phone. That should be posible on every android device (except if the application is not compatible with your device).

Well if you don't have android, I guess you can't view pdf files on your phone.

Answer 49

what does SKY-MOBI version 405.009 means?

Answer 50

@thomaster Actually, you can have Android and not have Google Play. If the company that did the build removed it, which is common in some Chinese vendors, that will happen.

As for Sky-Mobi: http://en.sky-mobi.com/aboutus.html

And if you notice most of the aps you can get are Chinese, that would be a huge sign that it is by a Chinese vendor that has modified Android to the point where it can not work with the Android store.

Answer 51

@e.mccormick this was a clone samsung

Answer 52

Yes, so the company that made it put in a modified version of Android that only works with Chinese sources. That seriously restricts how you can get things onto it.

Answer 53

how can i make use of this?

i mean will you please help me? please

Answer 54

It is the type of thing they talk about here:
http://thenextweb.com/asia/2012/09/15/google-android-bomb-china/

And you have to be very careful with the Chinese versions. Many have been documented as stealing private information off the phones. =/

As for how to use it, I can't help. I know how and why it is locked down. I can't help someone get around that.

Answer 55

So your phone is a knockoff?

\(\color{red}{Chance}\)

Answer 56

Yep.

Answer 57

Okay, so that changes everything. It may not be compatiable with her phone at all, App makers don't take knockoffs into account.

\(\

Answer 58

what should i do?

Answer 59

And many of them use proprietary distribution channels, so they eliminate standard aps. Only solution is if you can manually download and transfer an ap. But if it has no wifi, etc. I don't see how that will happen. Perhaps through USB.

Answer 60

Wait for an app to come out that would work with your phone.

Answer 61

\(\color{purple}{Chance~has~signed~off.~If~you~need~help~PM~me!}\)

Answer 62

i connected my phone through usb port onto my computer. what are those that works with this thing here @e.mccormick please help its only an app a pdf viewer

Answer 63

If you can download and transfer an apk file, you should be able to install it.

There are a number of projects that can be installed this way. Here is one:

Answer 64

Nice discussion on this here:
