LG Rumor phone and game question (please help) Very important

[ingeborgdot]

This is not intended to be a sob story but I just want you to know what it is all about. I have a niece that is slowly deteriorating from MS. She does not have much that she can do anymore but one of her enjoyments is playing a game called WSOP Challenge (world series of poker challenge). Right during Christmas the game stopped working and Sprint can't seem to help her get it back on her phone. She called me asking if I knew what to do and I tried but could not find any info on what she needed to do to get it working. Sprint told her to delete it from her phone which was not a good idea because I have found no where that she can download it from and put it back on her phone. Would anyone be so kind to give me some advice on how to fix her problem. Time is not on her side but what she does have left I want it to be very enjoyable. Thanks so much for your help.

You could likely back up the apk from her current device using a file manager, then uninstall it, then reinstall from the apk.

But, you can't redownload from the Play Store?

What is this "LG Rumor phone"?

Well, the Sprint guy had her totally delete it from her phone. It is gone. So......?

Not sure why you can't just re-download it from the Play Store... it's free. Just because you've uninstalled it from the phone doesn't mean you can't reinstall it.

In any event, though, if you want a second option you can download a file explorer (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=file explorer), stick the apk file onto your SD card, and navigate to the apk file using the file explorer.

Not sure if posting that apk file goes against the rules even though the app is free, but ehh I'll take the hit if it's for a good cause.

Yes, why can't you install it from the play store?

It should work and it is free.

I am now told that it can't be downloaded from the play store because of the kind of phone it is.

The check "allow installation from unknown sources" in the settings menu and side-install the apk that chubbyfatazn posted.
