Instructions: How to install Play Market on Android
Play Market is the official content store for Android. Therefore, it is not surprising that the question of how to connect the Play Market arises immediately after purchasing a smartphone or tablet with a “green robot”. Let's see how to install and configure this application, without which it will be very difficult to interact with an Android device.
Installation
All modern devices running Android OS are pre-equipped with the Play Market. But if for some reason you do not have a program to access the content store, you can download it through any mobile browser on your smartphone or tablet.
The Play Market is installed by analogy with other applications using a file with the *.apk extension. You just need to run it and wait for the installation to complete.
Registration
We've sorted out the presence of the application on a mobile device, now we need to proceed to registration. Play Market only works with Google services, so you will need an appropriate account. You can open it through any browser on your computer.
If you have Gmail, then you don’t need to create a Google account, since in fact they are the same thing.
The account has been created. Now you need to provide your identification details in the Play Market settings.
You can also create an account directly in the application. For this:
You'll be prompted to add a credit or debit card and specify your sync options. It is not necessary to do this right away; If necessary, these parameters can be easily adjusted or added in the Play Market settings.
After a few more presses of the right arrow, you'll be taken to the app's main page. 
Now we need to configure it a little so that there are no problems in the future.
Settings
The main mistake made by users, which leads to an exorbitant waste of money from their personal account balance, is incorrect settings for automatic application updates.
If you do not pay attention to this parameter, then when you need to download an update, the application will automatically connect to the Internet, wasting your traffic. To avoid such unpleasant consequences, follow these steps:
Your programs will be updated only when connected to a Wi-Fi network, leaving Internet traffic alone.
Also in the Play Market settings, you can set up a content filter, clear your search history and specify some other parameters for the application, for example, the presence of notifications and adding icons to the home screen. 
Downloading content
Installing the Play Market and setting it up is not enough - you also need to learn how to use it correctly. Although there is nothing complicated here: the interface is as logical and understandable as possible, and is completely localized into Russian.
On the first page you can see several sections: “Applications”, “Games”, “Movies”, “Music”, etc. Select the section you need to narrow your search. Various tops of paid, free and new programs will appear in the top line.
You can use these tops or search for the applications you need through the “Categories” menu. If you know the exact name of the program, use the search menu. 
To download a program or game, you need to open the page with it and click the “Install” button. Carefully read the list of permissions that the application requires, and if you agree with everything, click “Accept”. 
After this, the download and subsequent installation of the program or game will begin; All you have to do is wait for the completion of these procedures.
If you're more comfortable searching for apps on a larger monitor, you can open a browser on your computer and go to play.google.com.
Attention! The mobile device must be connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi at this moment in order to successfully synchronize with your Google account.
After a short wait, the game will appear on the screen of your smartphone or tablet.
Possible problems
Most often, users cannot launch Play Market due to the fact that they simply do not have a Google account. 
It's easy to fix this error - you just need to create an account.
If you removed the battery or your device was completely discharged, the date and time may have been lost. This is also sometimes the reason why Google Play Market refuses to launch.
Find the "Date and Time" section in your device's settings and set the correct values for your region. 
Another problem is a full cache, which causes problems in the Play Market. To clear it, go to the “Applications” section in the settings and select “Play Market” there. Scroll down the screen a little and tap the Clear Cache button.
Features of use
If for some reason you decide to stop using the Play Market or want to log into it using another account, first remove your Google account from your phone. 
If you don’t want to waste traffic, but there is no way to access the Internet using a Wi-Fi network, you can install games on Android from your computer. However, in this case you will need additional software, with the help of which *.apk files downloaded to your computer will be transferred to the memory of the mobile device. You can transfer the installation files by email, but to do this, you first need to set up your email on Android.
The Android operating system by default comes with a built-in Play Market, through which you can install programs for every taste. But sometimes there is no app store: the developers decided to save on installation, the smartphone was purchased from a Chinese manufacturer (and in China, Google is not very good) or disappeared after a rollback to factory settings. Let's take a step-by-step look at how to install Google Play Store on an Android device.
What is it for?
The entire application infrastructure is based on the Play Market - by default, installation is only possible through it. There are alternative stores, but they are significantly inferior in terms of software selection. In addition, not only programs and games are available on Google Play, but also films, music, and books.
Main page of the service
Another inconvenient solution is to download installers for each application separately and install them manually. With all the accompanying disadvantages:
- You can catch the virus. Fraudsters are very happy with simpletons who download installers from their virus sites;
- The program may not work. The reason may lie in an outdated version, a broken source, a version for a different type of device, and so on;
- Updates must be installed manually. Applications are not updated independently, they are upgraded through the store.
No matter how you look at it, you need to install the Play Market.
Preparing the system
Since we cannot install the store through it itself, we must use an installation file in *.apk format. There are two difficulties left to solve: finding a safe installer and launching it correctly on the smartphone. But first, permission to launch from third-party sources is required.
It is issued in the system settings. You need to go to the Security section and activate the checkbox for installing from unknown places.
Security menu
The system will display a warning - they say, you do everything at your own peril and risk. We must agree.
We take responsibility
The setting status will change.
Now everything is possible
After this there should be no difficulty starting.
Important: after this, the system will not object to the installation of any applications, even homemade applications and fraudulent software. So be careful . It is recommended that after installing the market, return the setting to its default value.
As an additional security measure, we recommend checking the apk file on the website https://www.virustotal.com. It shows the level of detection by antivirus tools and the community rating. Ideally, there should be no positives or a large number of negative comments.
Download the installer
Let's move on to the most unobvious and risky stage of setup, where many people make mistakes. You need to download the market installer from the Internet and copy it to your device.
The difficulty is that if you simply type play store market into a search engine, you can download a virus or a version for another type of device.
That's why It is recommended to use only resources with a solid reputation. If you take random links from search results, sooner or later you will be able to infect yourself with a virus or render your system inoperable.
Among foreign sites, I can recommend www.apkmirror.com. It has a concise mobile version and convenient search, detailed information is provided for all installers, and updates appear promptly. The downside is that there are quite a few advertising banners.
One of the best overseas services
The domestic alternative is the forum at http://4pda.ru. On the pages of the site you can find both detailed instructions and installers themselves for a huge number of mobile programs. True, wading through the jungle of discussions is not always easy; the convenient structure of the first post in each topic helps.
Stage No. 1: Search from a mobile phone on apkmirror.com
Since the site has a clear mobile version, we will carry out all operations directly from the smartphone. A popular “Chinese” smartphone with international firmware was taken as a test subject. The details may differ on other phones, but the general logic is the same.
So, open the resource in a standard browser. Then click on the magnifying glass icon, enter the name of the store and start the search.
The request must be entered in English
An extensive list of options will open. Each version and publication date are indicated.
And here are the available versions
If there are no special requirements, you need to click on the most recent one. A description page will open. And here you need to make a reservation about the type of device.
Version codes by device
The code "0" is used for universal installers, "5" is responsible for wearable electronics (for example, watches), "8" is used for TV. For a smartphone you need to take the zero option, the rest will not work.
An intermediate page will open.
Version page header
There you can check detailed information about the installer. The size up to a byte is indicated; for reliability, after downloading, you can check the checksums (MD5/SHA to choose from).
Correct download button
Example of a download completion notification
You need to click on it. If the preparation step was skipped, then surprise! – a notification about the ban will appear.
Reminder for the forgetful to change the settings
In this case you need go to security settings and enable installationAPK from any sources, as described earlier.
If the notification has already disappeared, return to the browser and open the downloaded files.
Going to the downloaded *.apk through the browser menu (using mobile Chrome as an example)
You need to run the installer from the folder that opens.
Let's start the installation
The system may display a list of permissions - you need to provide them. Then the installer will do everything itself.
Installation in progress
You need to wait for completion and you can open the market.
Installation completed successfully
Stage No. 3: We search from the computer w3bsit3-dns.com: login or registration
The 4pda.ru forum is best used from a computer. The fact is that its pages are quite wide, on a smartphone the text turns out small, and it’s inconvenient to follow the links. Let's take advantage of this and figure out how to download an APK via PC.
From the main page of the site you need to go to the forum section. The site will immediately emphasize the “guest” status.
One of the best forums for mobile software
Login form with captcha in Cyrillic
If you don't have an account, you need to register. The form is almost the same, they just ask for your address and password confirmation.
You will definitely need to wait for the email and follow the link from it: without account confirmation, a stub page will open instead of the forum.
After activating your account, the full functionality of the forum is available.
Logged in user header
Stage No. 4: w3bsit3-dns.com – topic navigation
This is what the beginning of the topic about Play Market looks like
Here it is customary to indicate everything important in the first message. We need a “Download” subsection.
Maximum information in the first post
Note: for a normal installation you need to select an option like “originalAndroid 4.1+". Version for "recovery" is not good.
Clicking this will open a page from which the installer will download. If something goes wrong and after 10 seconds nothing is downloading, you need to click on the link in the middle yourself.
The installer is practically in your hands
Saving to computer
If the browser doesn’t ask and downloads everything at once, then you need to look for the installer in the downloads folder.
Stage No. 5: Copy from computer to phone
Now you need to transfer the installer to the device. If it uses a memory card, you can simply insert it into your PC and overwrite the file. True, in this case you need a card reader.
Therefore, let's consider copying viaUSB cable, almost everyone has it. You need to connect the device to the computer. A system alert will appear.
Android hints that you can not only charge
Click on it and the connection parameters settings will open. You need to select a file transfer mode.
Setting up a connection to a PC
A notification about the mode change will appear.
Android has done everything to copy
If this is the first connection, we wait until the operating system on the PC installs the drivers. Then we open the computer and see the new drive. This is the smartphone's disk.
The drivers are installed: the smartphone is displayed as a media player, but you can copy it
Now go to the folder where you saved the installer and copy it from there.
We take the installer from the PC
Open the contents of the device and paste the copied file. You can select any folder (but it’s better not to put it in the system folder, otherwise it will be difficult to search).
Installer folder, view from PC
Now you need to disconnect from your PC. To do this, you need to change the mode on your smartphone to simple charging. That's it, you can disconnect the USB cable and open the folder with the installer.
Same folder inside the device
Installer, view from a smartphone
The rest of the installation process is exactly the same as the first case. That is The main thing -the apk file must be on the internal storage and accessible to the system. Then, if you have permission to install from third-party sources, it will install correctly.
Account setup
To fully use the market, you only need to configure it a little. For this you need when starting for the first time, specify the dataGoogle account. Moreover, the application just prompts you to enter them.
Market start screen
If you are registered with Gmail or any other Google service, you can use its data. Otherwise (this happens), you need to create a new account. You can do this directly from the market by clicking on "Create an account".
Information about yourself
Then you need to enter the desired address. The system will try to guess what it might look like based on the first and last name entered earlier. The same login will become your Gmail address.
If you click on "crossed out eye", the text entered into the fields will be visible.
is the former Android Marketa (aka Google Play). This is a favorite online store for owners of phones running the Android operating system, since Play Market thousands of applications and games from various developers are provided, and most importantly, many of them are free. If you just purchased a smartphone on Android OS and don’t know how to use it, then it’s time to get acquainted with this amazing service.
The Play Markete has almost everything you might need for work, leisure, or just for fun. Download, install and use your phone to the fullest.
If this is your first time becoming the proud owner of an Android phone, and you don’t know how to log in or install anything on your gadget, then this article will help you.
Initially, to work with the Play Market, you need to connect your phone to the Internet or mobile Internet. Turn on the phone and go to the menu. On the phone's desktop, there will be a round button at the bottom, click and go.
Find the icon and click on it. On our first visit, we will be prompted to add a Google account in the window that opens. For those who already have mail in Google (*.gmail.com), it will be easier, you need to click on the “Existing” button, enter your gmail email and password, and log in. If you don't have a Google account, you need to create one. This can be done either on a computer on the website www.google.com, or directly on the phone by clicking the “New” button in the window (Fig. 3). We register and create a mailbox for ourselves (don’t forget to remember your account and password).
After registration or after logging into an existing account, the phone will synchronize with our mailbox, and during synchronization it will ask you to agree with some points. Read and choose as you wish.
Next, you will be taken directly to the Play Market store, where there will be a breakdown by Categories, Top Applications, Interesting New Products, Paid, Free, and it is also possible to search by name by entering it in the upper right corner.
It is also advisable to customize the operation of the Play Market on your own; on the phone, press the bottom left button (or right, depending on the phone), and call up the context menu. Select "Settings"
From personal experience of use, I advise you to uncheck the box to update applications automatically (since applications are often updated and every time the phone connects to the Internet, it will automatically pull up updates without your knowledge, which often slows down the phone’s operation and increases traffic).
Now the Play Market is working for you, look at the applications, download and install them on your phone.
