1) Do you have a file manager on your phone such as Astro?
2) Where are you downloading them from? Are you sure they have an .apk extension?
yes i have astro file manager and i am downloading it from 4shared.com. I have downloaded apps here without a problem before i reset my phone.

Are you sure you're not getting .bin files. That seems to be happening to a lot of people lately.

actually when i do download it they do come as .bin files. what does this mean?
Try renaming the extension to .apk.
that worked is there a way i can make it a .apk file or do i have to rename the extension every time?

It doesn't look like it, unfortunately.
