To connect your Android device to the MobiKin desktop software through USB or Wi-Fi, you need to install the MobiKin Assistant for Android (Android Version) on your phone first.

This guide covers the following MobiKin tools:

• MobiKin Assistant for Android
• MobiKin Doctor for Android

Part 1: Install MobiKin Assistant for Android App Automatically via USB

Once you connect your Android phone to a computer with a USB cable and enable USB Debugging, the MobiKin desktop program will try to install the MobiKin Assistant for Android App on your phone automatically.

Why Does Automatic App Installation Fail?

If the app cannot be installed automatically, the problem may be caused by one of the following issues:

• Missing or Blocked Permissions: Your phone may prevent installation via USB, or you may have missed the permission prompt.
• Not Enough Storage Space: Your Android device may lack sufficient free space to install the app.
• Unstable ADB Connection: The USB cable or port may be loose, or the ADB connection or driver may be unstable or disconnected.

If the automatic installation doesn't work, continue to Part 2 to download and install the MobiKin Assistant for Android App manually.

Step 1: Download the MobiKin Assistant for Android APK to Your Phone

Method 2: Scan the QR Code to Download

• Enter a.mobikin.com in the address bar and go to the website.
• Find and tap the "Download" button to save the MobiKin Assistant for Android APK file to your phone.

Step 2. Allow "Install Unknown Apps" on Your Android Device

Since the APK is downloaded outside the Google Play Store, Android may block its installation for security reasons. To allow the APK to be installed, use either of the following methods:

• Quick Method (From the Installation Prompt): After downloading, tap the MobiKinAndroid.apk file to start the installation. If you see a message such as "Your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source", tap "Settings" in the prompt and enable "Allow from this source".



• Manual Method (Through Settings): Open your phone's "Settings", use the search bar to find "Install unknown apps", and select the browser used to download the APK, such as Chrome or Samsung Internet. Then turn on "Allow from this source".

Step 3. Install the APK and Allow the Required Permissions

• After the APK finishes downloading, open the notification panel or File Manager, locate MobiKinAndroid.apk, and tap "Install" to install the app.



• Once the installation is complete, open the MobiKin Assistant for Android app on your phone. Follow the on-screen prompts to authorize and allow all requested permissions, including access to Contacts, Messages, Call Logs, Photos & Media, and storage. These permissions are required for the desktop program to properly access and manage your Android data.



• Connect via Wi-Fi (Optional): After granting the necessary permissions, open the app on your phone and tap the "Scan Code" icon in the top-right corner. Then scan the connection QR code shown in the MobiKin desktop software on your PC to establish a Wi-Fi connection.
