Dear Friends

I am not able to download applications from the market direct into my MID. Is there anyway I can manually download them to my laptop and then install them to android platform using usb cable??

Thanks for your help a lot!!

You could eliminate a step and download them from filesites via your MID's browser.

I take it you have the apps as .apk files on your PC but you havn't a file manager on your phone for installing the .apk's.

So you could try this:
Copy the .apk's via USB cable in a folder (say MyApps) on your SD card.
After un-mounting the SD card execute in your phone browser window
"file:///sdcard/MyApps/<you apk file>"

I have installed barcode scanner..and it forces shut down each time it starts..

Does barcode scanner requires access to internet..??

if you are talking about all apps from the android market.. then you should fix that issue and not find a work around. there should be no reason not to be able to do this.

if you are having problems with 1 app... then.
1. you have to have apk file of that app.
2. have a file manager app installed on your phone... ex: Astro
3. copy the apk file to any place on your phone via usb or any other way you can.
4. make sure you:
homescreen
menu
settings
application
then check the "load app from un-known source"
5. use the file manager (step 2) to install the apk file (step 1)
