How to download apps on HTC Rhyme
If you own an Android smartphone like the HTC Rhyme, you can download apps in a similar way to the famous AppStore on phones like the iPhone 4S. This is thanks to the Android Market, which is where Android smartphone owners can browse thousands of apps from various categories that can be downloaded directly to the phone.
Android Market has recently received an update that has given it a new look and feel as well as being much easier to use. In this article, I’ll walk you through the process of downloading an app on an Android smartphone like the HTC Rhyme.
The Android Market application is provided as standard on all compatible Android smartphones. The app can be found in the ‘All Apps’ menu found at the bottom left of the HTC Rhyme home screen. When you’ve scrolled through the apps to locate the Android Market shortcut (this can also be placed on the home screen for convenience), simply touch it to open it. When opened, the Android Market home screen will appear, presenting promoted content such as movies and premium game titles. There are also shortcuts to apps, books, and movies, all of which can be downloaded to the phone.
Touch the apps shortcut and you will be taken to the apps home page, where the promoted apps will be displayed again. You can then swipe across the screen from right to left to explore the top paid apps. Repeat this action and you will be presented with the best free apps. From the home page, you can also swipe from right to left, where you’ll be taken to a category menu, where you can browse apps by category. There are plenty to choose from and once you’ve selected one, you can swipe left or right to see the top paid, top free, and top grossing apps within that category. You can scroll up or down to see them in order of popularity, or tap the magnifying glass icon in the top right to search for a specific app title or keyword, where you’ll then be presented with an on-screen Qwerty keyboard to enter. title. of the application you are looking for.
Once you have found the desired app, simply tap on the download button and the process will begin. To ensure the fastest download time, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection, although a 3G connection will certainly suffice, but data charges may apply depending on your rate and data allowance.
Your app will start downloading and installing in the background and you can check its progress on the notification screen which can be accessed by swiping down from the top of the touch screen. Once installed successfully, you will be able to find the app in the ‘All Apps’ menu and you can choose to place it on one of the 7 home screens provided by the HTC Sense UI.
As you can see, downloading apps on Android smartphones like HTC Rhyme is a relatively simple task. Just follow the steps above if you’re doing this task for the first time, and I’m sure it will become second nature in no time.
