any and all browsers FC upon download - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure when this started or if it started right after I did something. If I try to download anything such as an e-mail attachment I get a force close and the dowload gets hung up at the start.
I have tried Miren, xScope, DolphinHD, and the stock browser. Opera won't even launch. I tried this all again after doing the "full reinitialization" and got the same failures.
Anyone seen this?

Most (including me) are able to download files with the stock browser.

Clutching at straws here... Maybe your SD card is faulty. Maybe try to a full reinitialization with the SD card removed.
Or better yet, download the newest firmware (2.1.4) and install it through the recovery menu (vol+ while device is booting up).

Not me. I'm only running the stock browser, but I've downloaded tons of things (all my side-load APKs, some documents, a spreadsheet, some photos, music, and even a movie (yeah...like 700mb) and not a single failure or force close. Running 2.1.3, but it looks like they just put out a 2.1.4 update to address Dolphin force close issues.

[Q] Flash installed but no flash content works?

Loving my gtablet! Installed vegan and the market and im rocking and rolling with one issue left to solve. So i downloaded and installed the latest version of flash, but in firefox and the stock browser no flash videos will play. They show a link to download flash, which leads me to their site saying the device is not supported. What am i doing wrong here?
Firefox doesnt do flash. I am not sure why the stock browser is not working. What flash did you install and what rom you running? In the settings of the stock browser do you have plugins enabled, off, or on demand?
Info
Flash version is 10.1.120.1
Running VEGAn-Tab v1.0.0b5.1.1
thanks for your help!
Uninstall that 10.1, look around and get the more recent Flash 10.2. You can get it from freeware lovers if you dont have the market set up... Also, not sure about Firefox, but with any of the browsers make sure you're looking at the site in 'Desktop' mode
Got it to work!
Hey it works! I had to fool with the browser settings and install the version of flash recommended and i couldn't be happier! thanks you guys. this is an awesome community.
Can you post the steps you took to resolve this issue? Ie, 1. Uninstalled Flash 10.1, 2. Went to Market, searched for "Flash 10.2", etc. That would be helpful for other people that have this problem (especially what browser setting you had to change).
I know that Flash is bundled with VEGAn 5.1.1, but all of the sites I go to say that it isn't installed (or need higher version than 8 or 7 or whatever).
I went to the market and it doesn't list Flash no matter how I search. Shouldn't 10.2 be listed even though 10.1 is installed?
Thoughts?

I couldn't see Flash 10.2 until I did the market fix.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Press the 'All' tab
Scroll down and look for 'Market'
Clear Cache, Force Stop
Return back to the list and look for 'Google Services Framework'
Clear Data, Force Stop
Now go to your Market and it should error (that's normal)
Reboot and load Market back up and Flash should be there
I did the Market fix 3 times until I could see it.
But that might not work for everyone. In that case you should look into this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020130
I still cannot see flash videos on sites like espn.com. it just shows a picture instead of the video.
I have done the market fix a number of times and still don't get Flash to show up. Grr...
Maybe I will try a few more times for good measure or try the alternate method mentioned by Hachi2go.
This method worked on the first time when I needed to get the Facebook app.
I was unable to get Flash with this Market fix up.
To frustrate me more, my co-worked just tried this easy fix and Flash just popped up for him. Grr...
I had to go to the other thread and change the device ID in the build.prop file.

[Q] Can't download anything with the built in browser?

Stock Galaxy 10.1 3G tab currently used only in WiFi.
Everytime I try to download a file (*.JPG in this case) it starts then immediatly comes back with *download unsuccessful*
After fiddling around I tried another browser (Dolphin HD) same problem.
Installed the app "download all files" same problem.
Don't know where else to look Anyone here have an idea?

i have nearly the same problem. from some sites i can't download. the download starts, but just after a few seconds it stops. it says "download successfull", but unfortunately it just downloaded a few bytes, not the whole file.

Have also stock Galaxy 10.1 3G tab, and have experienced no problems whatsoever with downloads. Am using stock browser only.
odd, I guess I'll try installing a bunch of browsers see if that fixes it.
Firefox works, ofc its slower than the others but hey if I want to download all I have to do is copy the url and...
this sounds like a lot of work for a workaround

[Q] Stock web browser?

So I put void forever on my phone as an upgrade to megatron. None of the multiupload links are working so this is the best I can do. I did this after unlocking the phone on stock rom. So now I noticed everything works except:
No stock browser so some other browser like skyfire crash because no stock browser ( not sure why but they cannot access bookmarks and such without it)
and
No 3g on att. (network type limitations in the phone?)
So I cannot fix the 3g issue but I was wondering if anyone could upload me a installable stock web browser zip? I had one from here before when I accedently root uninstalled mine, but not I cannot find it. It would be much appreciated.
I tried to push the browser.apk into system/apps but it wont work properly.
I know in said thread there is an ADDON zip that is supposed to have a web browser but after installing it still no browser. so I am asking specifically for such.
Please and thankyou.

Download unsuccessful

I have searched and tried Download all and easy downloader. I have switched Roms twice hoping to fix but i always get the download successful error when trying to download from browser. I tried opera mini and i have the unknown sources checked. they all tell me not enough memory. New Rom install gives me ample memory and 16g memory card only has 2g used.(settings tell me) i have mounted and amounted the card. My comp is down so i can't download new Roms that way and can't back up sd card to format it. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Ghetto
Not sure if this will help but I've run into that problem a couple of times when downloading a ROM update using ICS browser+. I don't remember which but I then used chrome to download and downloaded just fine. I believe I had to use wifi.
Ok that didn't work. Arggg. i tried on my gs2 as well and can't seem to download any Roms or apks. Will let me dl market stuff attachments from emails photos off websites and even an mp3 off internet. What the heck.
I use dolphin browsers to dl any thing straight to phone....
So tried Dolphin and no go butt formatted USB Storage and now it works.
Hits self Thanks button.

[Q] Download sometimes fails, chrome?

Hi,
When downloading all kinds of stuff some attempts finish and it says download executed (or something like that, i have another language). When doing the exact same it says download completed.
The difference however is that when the download is not completed but executed the files are corrupt or not present.
Why is this? This happens so random.
Im using google chrome but stock browser does the same.
Im on stock unrooted ell4 but every past rom had the same problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I think it's because Chrome is not compatible with most download sites (megaupload, rapidshare, etc). Opera works
Try dolphin, it has a good download manager, with pause and resume ability too
