How to Download and Install Pokemon GO on your Android Device
As we have previously reported about the release of Pokemon GO in Android devices here in the Philippines, fans kept on asking how they can play the game on their devices. Some users also reported that they are having trouble in installing the game with common errors such as “parsing error” and “black screen splash”. Downloading and installing the game is as easy as pie, check out our guide below:
First, we have to check if your device is supported. Here’s the official list of supported devices for Android from Niantic’s website.
- Android 4.4 to Android 6.0.1
(Android N will not be supported until the official Android release) - Preferred resolution of 720×1280 pixels (Not optimized for tablet)
- Strong internet connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G)
- GPS and Location Services
- Intel CPUs are not supported
Next, download the APK file from APK Mirror. Note that this file is signed by Google, thus allows you to update the game in the Play Store when the new version is out.
Then, Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and activate Unknown Sources to allow your phone to install apps from sources other than the Google Play Store.
After that, select and install the Pokemon GO APK file.
Finally, you could now have fun and enjoy playing Pokemon GO! Also, make sure both your GPS and internet (whether Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G) connection is strong to avoid interruption.
If you are still facing some issues with game installation, let us know in the comment section below.
Update: Here are instructions on how to download to your iOS (iPhone and iPad).

I can’t get a valid gps location.
Device: OnePlus One
Android: 5.1 COS
I tried it with Root Cloak and other tools but I’m not getting a valid gps signal in Pokemon Go.
Other Apps like Ingress or Google Maps work flawlessly.
Do you know what to do?
Same here :(
i always get GPS signal not found.
>intel cpu not supported
That sucks. I’m a zenfone 2 user.
The game is not working anymore. Maps are wiped out and no more pokemons appearing. It’s like we’ve been blocked in the system.
Same here
I’m getting this same problem. help please!
Location issue even if I turn on the location services
App not installed. I’m using Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+
Tapping the “Install” button doesn’t do anything. But the “Cancel” button is working just fine. The screen of my phone doesn’t have problems.
Same here. T.T
i always get GPS signal not found.
It worked with my Zenfone Max but my map is bare, my character is there but without any pokemon or structures, btw i was able to get one as my initial pokemon.
I’ve tried other sites. It’ll download but won’t letme install. Ill try here and see if it’s any different.
I played it for awhile then after a few hours i dont see any pokemon, gym or pokemon stop..just walking on a plain map..i hope the server is on maintenance and fix the problem.
i’m having the exact same problem. help with this please.

Justice for Asus zenfone 5 or 2…haist..pls fix to allow intel cpu..
Sorry guys, but non-official countries have been blocked by the servers — you can still download the apk and run it, but because it uses your phone’s GPS and IP addresses to determine the location of its users, the app will not work unless you’re actually physically located in the USA, Australia or New Zealand.
I have installed this game… at the first option.. it asked me if i want to turn the camera on or not for ar mode… i choose maybe later.. yet i cant turn it on after that
When i found a pokemon.. i press the ar mode.. yet its just a white screen behind the pokemon.. what should i do?? How can i turn it on?
