hi all,

new to this board so apologies if this question has been done, but Santa brought two android tablets that unfortunately play everything but Angry Birds which is the one game my kids love. is there any way of getting it going? really disappointed cos I thought it was a good enough tablet.

you probably need to give some more info.
Do you know the make/model of the tablet?
Is the app installing? If not does it give an error?
If it installs what happens when you try to open it?

You could also try to download the angry bird app file (.apk file) and install it yourself. Just download it from a PC and transfer onto a tablet and install using a file manager such as Astro file manager

thanks for that,

yeah sorry should have said it installs the app fine, but screen just goes black for few secs and then goes back to main screen.

will I have to download a file manager too so? sorry not too familiar with this.

astro file manager is availalbe from the App Store. I would try getting an angry birds file online (one of the older versions) and seeing if that works for you.

Someone had this exact same issue a few weeks back, not sure if it was the same tablet though but same issue.

If you sideload an older version of Angry Birds it worked perfect.

You don't need to install astro but its advised.

you also will have to turn on the option of install non market apps or something in your settings.

let us know if you run into issues

thanks for the replies.
just a quick question before I try, is there a safe site I can get an apk file from, just wary of getting a virus. and also was just Googling sideloading (new to this) and someone mentioned emailing the file to the tablet and opening it and installing it that way maybe?

thanks again.

yeah you could do that (easiest way if you don't have external SD card) but the app itself could be to large for email (just checked original in play store is 27mb and even gmail have a limit of 25)

i might have an old APK of angry birds on the computer at home that i'll upload to either dropbox or google drive for you to download if you want. from there download to tablet and install

Send me a pm if you want or have any other questions or issues!
