I got my new Q10 yesterday and I'm trying hard to install Threema (Android App - Swiss whatsapp alternative - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ch.threema.app)
I've tried to find an explanation in the threads, but I can't sort out which one is the right one for my specific problem...
Could anyone quide me through this stuff? I'm completely new to this... thank you very much!

PS: If it helps - I have an MacBook 10.7.5

So I tried to install the Snap Installer but I got this folder and I don't know what to do...

Was the phone connected to your network Wi-Fi, and Development Mode on?

[FrenchFriesGate]

Yes it was connected, and I enabled the developer mode.

The APK Download Extension for Chrome doesn't work - Google Play indicates me, I have no device connected.
If I'm tying to use this Link APK Downloader [Latest] Download Directly | Chrome Extension v2.1.2 (Evozi Official) it does not work either.

I couldn't find the App on Amazon oder 1mobile. -.-

[BigBadWulf]

The app you want is paid, so you'll need to pay for it first at play store from your browser. Are you having trouble installing snap?

[FrenchFriesGate]

I can't buy the App, because Google Play store indicates that I have no devices connected + I'm having trouble installing Snap.
I followed these instructions How to use Snap on BlackBerry 10.2.1 to install Android APK files | CrackBerry.com but I get an 404 Error if I try to open https://169.254.0.1/. I checked if it was the right IP, the developer mode was enabled and my device was connected via USB to BB-Link. Nevertheless, thanks for your help so far!!! But is there any way to solve this problem?

Another User told me to get an Adroid Device ID so that I can download the App via Google PLay Store and recommended this http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-an...-guide-836241/. But even if I follow every instruction, Google Play Store still indicates that I have no devices.

Should I just give up?

First you need to enable development mode. Connect you device to wifi router (MUST). Install google chrome and Playbook manager extension. Click on Playbook manager and enter your wifi IP address. It sould be something like this e.g. 192.168.0.87. Enter device password when prompted.
Browse to the Snap bar in location where you downloaded it. Install..... Once done open Snap and logon using your googleplay credentials.. Go wild and install whatever you want from there. Not sure about paid apps though as I never really needed one.

[BigBadWulf]

I've never tried it to see, but I'm not sure whether the chrome extension will work with the phone USB connected and Link open. Also, make sure Wi-Fi sharing is on in storage settings and the IP you're using is the one displayed in development mode.

[FrenchFriesGate]

I did as you recommended, but if i click on the wifi IP on playbook below "manage your device" I still get the 404 Error. I'm connected via wifi, enabled the developer mode but I'm not asked to enter my password even tough I have one...

[FrenchFriesGate]

Wifi-storage si on, the IP is correct... I don't get what I'm doing wrong -.-

[BGRS]

so your IP is 169.254.0.1?? That is development address and not WIFI. Go to Systems Settings>About>from drop down list select Network and see what is your device IP address when connected to wifi.

[FrenchFriesGate]

No, thats the way supposed in this explanation How to use Snap on BlackBerry 10.2.1 to install Android APK files | CrackBerry.com. I tried it your way, got my wifi IP 192.168.XXX.XXX/XX and typed it in playbook and still got the 404 Error. that's what's confusing me...

[damien kupuku]

I did as you recommended, but if i click on the wifi IP on playbook below "manage your device" I still get the 404 Error. I'm connected via wifi, enabled the developer mode but I'm not asked to enter my password even tough I have one...

here are steps
first enable the developer mode you should get IP adress 169.254.0.1 pop up
open Chrome extension BB10playbook manager and fill the empty case with this IP adress and password, hit save
now plug your phone to your computer using USB connection
now hit "manage your device" don't bother the security things just go through the process
Inside the manager tool , just hit install Bar, pick your Snap bar where you downloaded it
it should work

169.254.0.1 is the USB IP adress, easy to use this one

[BGRS]

that won't work though.

[FrenchFriesGate]

excellent. it works!!!!
but now i'm stuck were i already have been. it's a paid app and i can't buy it with my computer, because google play store says, i have no device connected to my google account... any suggestions?

[damien kupuku]

that won't work though.

it works great for me, and easy to use as WIFI IP isn't static, and change often, the USB one is static you have to plug your phone to computer and that is it!

[BGRS]

well I guess I was wrong...

[damien kupuku]

excellent. it works!!!!
but now i'm stuck were i already have been. it's a paid app and i can't buy it with my computer, because google play store says, i have no device connected to my google account... any suggestions?

normaly you should have a Gmail account , son when purchasing your paid app use this one, you should get your Q10 listed as your device

[FrenchFriesGate]

aaah ok... i should have some patience but now i'm getting an error message "unexpected error occured - try it again later" i will give it some time, retry it, and let you know if it works. thank you very, very much damien!!

[anon7902371]

I'd recommend sideloading Snap. It's an alternative GooglePlay for BlackBerry devices. I like it and it shows local apps as well! Try it. But you do must sideload it otherwise Snap won't work.
