    My Sister has a Gallexy Androde Phone and she wants to get the Androde Market to get the APPs.

    I know it is now Google Playstore so am I right teling her to do this?

    Go to www.4shaired.com



    Then in the Search Box on there Page type playstore and then download the file.

    Am I right and the file will be .apk

    That website looks suspect to me, and your sister will be better off going to the Android Market / Google Play as the file will at least be genuine and malware free...

    Hi Biferi,

    Play Store should be integrated into the phone itself. Just tap Market and it will install

    I would go here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/
    On there find her specific phone section and go to the android development section and you should be able to find a file called gapps that will install all google apps, including google play store. If you don't see a thread marked as a gapps download just check any of the threads marked [ROM] and at least one of them should also have a download link for them.

    Thank you for giving me help with Syncing my Sisters Andriod Phone with her G Mail Accout.

    Now I do not think I understand how to bring everything back if I need to?

    What I meen is this my Sister now has everything backedup from her Phone to her G Mail Account.

    Now say she Drops her phone in watter again or it Breaks and she gets a new phone again.

    I know she goes to Playstore and Logs In with her Pass and G Mail address.

    But this just logs her into the playstore again.

    How does she bring back everything that she Synced with her g mail?

    Biferi,

    Have you even looked at the Wondershare MobileGo app that I suggested? It would permit your sister to sync her phone to a computer.

    It's actually even easier than that, during initial setup you will be asked for a gmail account. If the gmail account has a preciously sync'd device, which it will in this case then all your apps and such will be brought to the new device

    I don't have any experience with what DCiAdmin offers, but it sounds like it will work as well
