Installing the DeployMe App for Android

You’ve read the DeployMe App Quick Reference Guide and are ready to install it on your phone. You can install the app if you have a Google Android, e.g. Samsung, Huawei, HTC, Motorola, Kyocera, LG.


This guide


This guide is designed to help you get started using DeployMe. This guide uses screen images obtained from a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. There may be small differences in the appearance of the app when using other devices however the basic operation of the app is the same across all android devices.

Supported devices


In order to load the DeployMe app on your smartphone or tablet, you will need to be using Android v4.4 (KitKat) or later. To find out which version of Android you’re using, visit this web page: http://www.wikihow.com/Check-What-Android-Version-You-Have.


Device Security


During the installation process, there will be a number of steps that will modify the security settings on your device. The Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services (DCCSDS) are not able to make the DeployMe app available through the Google Play Store as there is information delivered through the app that is not suitable for wide distribution. Android devices have inbuilt settings that discourage the download of apps from outside the Google Play Store. The steps below temporarily bypass these settings to enable you to install the app. These settings can be reversed after the installation process.

Mobile Data Disclaimer


If you are installing the app on your personal device and have your mobile data switched ON, please be aware of possible mobile data carriage charges by your telecommunications provider.

The application services may display, include or make available content, data, information, or materials from third parties (“Social Feeds”) or provide links to certain web sites.  

By using the services, you acknowledge and agree that the Application Provider (DCCSDS) is not responsible for any data costs you incur on your personal phone by using the DeployMe app with Mobile Data switched ON.
