[Q] Stock browser not downloading files... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is an odd one. My stock browser flat-out refuses to download seemingly anything I ask it to. I'm always met with 'failed' or 'unsuccessful' and it's getting infuriating, especially when Dolphin HD downloads them effortlessly.
So far I know that it won't download rars, wmvs, zips, even apks.
Hopefully it's just a case of changing a setting somewhere. I hope someone knows how to fix it though!

its always been like that, even on my s1, dl dolphin mini, all your problems will go away forever trust me

Thanks. So it's some kind of Samsung 'quirk'?
Incredibly annoying, but at least I have Dolphin HD. Is Dolphin Mini much different?

So there is no way to make the default browser download file types suck as .apk, .zip etc? Really like the simplicity of the stock browser, but the file downloading "issue" is really annoying. Please don't give answers such as "install Dolphin" etc. as that's not what I'm asking for

[TUTORIAL]How to open flash sites on LG GT540 (ARMv 6)

Hello everybody!
I've found a way to open flash sites, and even flash games!
You can do that by using Puffin Web Browser, but still there's one problem... You can't adjust the zoom level because there are no zoom buttons and our phone doesn't support multi-touch, so you may sometimes experience problems fitting the flash element in the screen... Otherwise it is great!!!!
The browser also supports tab browsing and is a hell lot faster even than the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile! It is definetly worth trying it!
P.S. The old version no longer works. We'll have to wait untill the new one is cracked...
Tried it on o1 and it is the best app for flash contents. Video a little bit laggy but still better than with any other browser
Thanks

Zoom
You can zoom in, sort of, just double-tap on a non-flash zone. It zooms in or out slightly
BTW, THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP! THIS IS GREAT! Now we can all watch flash and play flash games. I'm looking for a way to speed it up.
it works on Android 2.1??
Well, I think it should work but I'm not a 100% sure... You can try it and tell us the results.
Well I try to install but I says problem analyzing the package, so it don't install

Here you go:
MOD EDIT: Please do not distribute warez
Extract and put the files in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup & restore it using TB.
Hmmm, strange... I can't see it in Titanium Backup... The files are extracted on the same directory as mentioned...
Does this help?
Unfortunely, no.
I suppose the app should be cracked to work... Arrrrrrr
Try this....... v1.6.2862
MOD EDIT: Please do not distribute warez
The newest version in market includes zoom buttons for non multi touch devices, but i can't find it cracked anywhere...
ughh...
The moderater has mentioned several times, DO NOT POST/TALK ABOUT WAREZ, 1. It's illegal 2. It breaks forum rules.

I also get their update email. It seems they can sync data between different device (cloud service). It's awesome.
Does it have incognito browsing?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
You can select in options to browse without history and leave the setting so it opens in incognito.

I actually like it. Everything seems so smooth.
I personally think Dolphin for Pad Beta 1 is better than the HD browser but thats just me
Can someone please post the Dolphin Pad Beta apk. I cannot get it from the market on my phone and I am going to port it to my Playbook, thanks in advance.

No problem here downloading the rom using megaupload or any other
file sharing site using my phone.
There is a folder on the root directory of the internal sdcard called
".downloadTemp" thats where the file gets downloaded to.
The default browser works best for me not only in downloads but in general.
I am using gtg's unNamed v1.0.3 rom right now.
I have downloaded many files from Internet since getting this new phone.
Good luck!

Sometimes the stock browser can be flakey when it comes to downloads. You can try clearing cache and user data, and anything else to reset the browser and that might fix it for you.
But the easiest fix is to just use a different browser, dolphin its the one I use.
Not that the stock browser is not a good one, but I could never get it to consistently download everything either. It would seem like I would toy with it for days to get it to work, then a day later it would be picky about what file types it would download again.
And last little note if your interested in this stuff, it seems the dolphin browser is the fastest browser at rendering java script we have available on Android (although the speed is not way better, it is a little better)

Don't use the default browser, download using opera always works. Look fire opera in market. It's a wonderful substitute for the stock browser with better interface as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I've used a few browsers beginning back in January and I have to agree that Opera is by far my favorite. I've used Miren, Dolphin, xScope and I think a few others and have found Opera to be the best for what I do. I don't need all of the customization options that some of the browsers provide and Opera loads quickly and easily; as well as allowing me to download the files I want to download.
If you want to download using the stock browser go to the market and download a small app called, download all files. Once installed, it allows the stock browser to save any file. Works great for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I had some issues earlier today where Megaupload wouldn't let me download the complete file. Even to my desktop. It kept getting stuck between 80 and 90%. I had to give it a couple of hours then it worked. You may try to download a download manager from the Market as well.
stock browser seems flaky to me. usually it works, but every now and then it wont let me dl a program/app/file. like others have suggested maybe try another browser. sometimes if i restart the phone i can grab the file that failed the 1st time

Cant download 1 apk or file from xda or browser content not supported

All my other devices I could nab an apk- or file from xda or Google right from the device..
On photon content not supported on apk- from stock browser or xda app ?
If I use dolphin browser... set as desktop agent works fine..
Can stock browser be set to support downloads? And yes I have unknown sources checked

Stock browser is picky. Sometimes it will some times it wont i know astro has an option to download in stock but it doesnt seem to work. Usually what i do it just download it via firefox. That always works. Stock will download zips and rars though. Look around in tue market see if there are any file managers that work and let us all know

Hi there, i'm an Atrix user but frequently browse the Photon forum as i believe our devices are not too disimilar, i had this problem when i first got my Atrix. I found a solution by downloading an app from the market called Download All Files, works perfect for me. Hope you guys don't mind me posting here.
