Smart Phone to PC app transfer

Posted on 01/12/2013 5:16:35 PM PST by agrace

Last resort here. For the life of me I can't locate a specific app on my samsung galaxy s3 in files to transfer it to my PC and then transfer it to my son's kindle fire. My old android phone was easy; this one shows no apk files readily. I've gone through astro file manager etc to no avail. Any thoughts on locating a specific app on this particular phone for transfer? Thank you.

Ask for a refund because your “smart phone” seems to be as smart as Slow Joe .... take your refund and buy an old Android phone.

Can you back it up to a gmail account then load gmail onto kindle and download it? not too familiar with kindle, but i do this with gmail to get apps from phone to tablets. Or use dropbox or similar. hope that helps.

Do you have a Samsung Allshare app?

You can also connect via a USB cable if you have the right driver file.

See if there is an Android version of Dropbox. I use it between my iPad and my PC.
