I ran into issues when installing the Atrix concerning Moto Phone Portal and Media Link. Most of the issues seems to have revolved around the Chrome browser defaulted on my laptop. During installation Media Link would not install and the Portal would automatically open in Chrome. Moto Phone portal does not work full function in Chrome.
The remedy was simple although it took a while to figure out. I copied the Portal's address from Chrome and pasted into Internet Explorer. I then installed Media Link from the Internet Explorer Moto Phone Portal. Media link and Moto Phone Portal seem to run fine now.

XDA Forum,
I am quite a newbie when it comes to changing the stock software with devices (although I navigate stock software fairly well) and I had a question about the location of Browser Downloads.
I already installed preware and updated the basics for my touchpad (not overclocked yet), and I installed the file browser Internalz. I was trying to find the location where the browser downloads its files so that I could download and view necessary pdfs without going through box.net. I enabled the option to view hidden files and alas I am still lost.
Basically whenever I download a PDF from the web the browser opens a new card and asks if I would like to download. I hit it, it downloads, and then poof I can't find the file, even when I enter USB mode.
I was wondering if there is anyway to track the file and open it through a third party file browser so I can at least sometimes try to find a file a downloaded (whether it be PDF or not).
Thanks!
I have the same issue.
I can't download any documents with the native browser, so I'm using the enhanced one.

Does the enhanced one let you download and set your area of download properly? Also, which one are you using and is it off preware?
My wife gave me a White Galaxy S II international version from Amazon.com for Christmas.
I first noticed this with the stock internet browser.
I am having a little problem with the podcasts section on Engadget.com. As soon as the page is near or finishes loading, the browser crashes and I'm returned to the launcher.
If I am quick enough to long press on the .MP3 link to download the podcast it crashes without the save prompt showing up and the download isn't started.
I downloaded Dolphin Browser HD and I get the same results. This is the browser I used on my Inspire 4G with no problems.
This is viewing the desktop version of Engadget.com, also with either Android or Desktop as the user agent.
I don't have trouble loading pages on other sites.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Just tried it myself and it worked fine. Are you trying the "save link" option? You could try "download all files" application from market. I've got it installed because I've had a problem in the past.
DoubleTwist
Try downloading the app doubletwist you don't need to sync it to your computer or use air sync all you need to do them is download the item again
Hope this helps
Not to be rude but I'm looking for a solution, not a workaround.
I could just stream it from the website or the Engadget app, but I want to download the podcast from the page as I'm reading Engadget posts without starting up another app to do something I could do easily on a much simpler and lower quality phone. The building at my work tends to kill wifi and cell signals so I need to download the podcasts to listen to them.
I did have cyanogen installed on my Inspire. I wanted to see if I could use this phone without ROMs.
Thanks anyway.
download all files from market , the stock browser doesnt download all file extensions mate , that could be the reason
dolphin browser is quite useless to download files...the best one to download files are the opera mobile. i used that to download basically everything....try it...

Like I said "download all files"
Just install it then use the stock browser to download the pod cast
The stock browser and dolphin can download mp3s from other sites. My Inspire 4G running cyanogen could do it, too.
Apparently there is some code on the Engadget page that my phone doesn't like.
The browser crashes as soon as the page either finishes loading or right before it finishes. It had nothing to do with downloads.
Edit: I installed Opera Mobile as recommended above by kruznix and the page loads properly.
I'm still curious if anyone knows why this is happening.
Hey,
I just tried to make Hulu work on my Nexus Q and I had a wonderful success!
So, if you want it running in your browser, just follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427095
I unzipped the file and copied the content to the /data/flash directory. Be sure to read all the thread cause there is 2 ways to do it, I decided to not flash, since it's just to files to copy. In the end there is also a video to show how to do.
I'm using Firefox with the Phony pluggin to emulate a Desktop Browser, in that case Hulu allow me to watch the video, if you don't change your User Agent it will offer you the Hulu Plus, and all the reason for that is to not have to subscribe...
Have fun!

Cool! Fantastic to know, because I tried the Hulu app downloaded directly from the Play Store onto my Q (not sideloaded) and it didn't work (it crashed on startup screen).
By which I mean, I sideloaded google play, spoofed google play into thinking I was a tablet using the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784644, and then downloaded Hulu, and it crashes. In my experience, 90%+ of the apps you'd expect to work DO work on the Q (excepting of course the apps that use GPS, gyro, microphone, or some other hardware that obviously doesn't work on Q). However Hulu fails, so this is great info as it provides a way to get it working.
I've rooted my G3 and have had issues with pages not displaying in full site views @ all (e.g. Accuweather) or incorrectly (e.g. Google Play) for some time now. I get "Server Error...Connection refused...Error 500" when trying to display pages in full site views in Chrome and Dolphin browsers. Other sites, like Google Play display incorrectly/wonky in full site and mobile views, meaning almost in a pure text view, no page search bar, etc. Also, I've noticed when going to the Weather Channel site, the page language displays English and Chinese/Japanese = odd. I've done a factory reset and still have this issue. I know this wasn't a problem before but I don't know if the rooting or use of of post root apps have done the damage. Right now, all I have are some basic rooted apps - ES File Manager, Cerberus, AdBlock Plus, SuperSU Pro, Titanium Pro, Webkey, Widgetroid, and Tasker. I've searched for answers and even went to LG for help, but nothing is resolving this issue. I'm @ a loss of what to do...anyone help, please?
What browser? I've had weirdness with the AOSP browser(s), never used Dolphin, Firefox, etc.
Chrome, both stable release and beta, work fine, altho I generally do not prefer full site view. If Chrome, perhaps try deleting Data then completely uninstall via Root Explorer / ES File Mgr by deleting the .apk in System/Apps, reboot, and download Chrome from Play Store.
It's the default browser with the phone, which is Chrome. I've tried Dolphin to see if it was Chrome and the same issues show up. It's odd that these problems didn't pop up until recently. I first noticed it when I tried to go from the Accuweather app to a detailed forecast via the app and noticed the full version webpage would not show. The more I looked into the issue, the more sites I noticed similar problems along with the newer issues mentioned.
Will the uninstall/reinstall create any issues since it's the default browser of the phone? I don't know if other parts of the ROM will falter when I try that fix.

Have you tried disabling the ad blocking? I have had problems (on a previous device) like this with certain ad blockers in place.
