Since android sucks at downloading all file types, what are you guys using to download those files that dont download with the stock browser?
I've tried astros download all files option and i still cant download anything.
I think i also tried download all files and that doesnt work either.
Its just a pain in the ass when i have to go home and downloadnfiles on my computer than tranfer to my phone

I download any file fine. Some websites don't get along, but I can download any file type fine, but that is if the website gets along lol. There are times when it comes out as a .bin file. That is easily fixed by just renaming it to whatever file extension it was supposed to be.

Same here, I never have a problem trying to download anything. I did have a problem verifying captchas once, but I just switched browsers. I had the problem in Opera Mini, but it was fixed as soon as I started using the stock browser. What are you trying to download?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I use Opera when the stock browser won't do it.

Is there any way to download any file with any extension? For some reason I'm not able to download any .rar files or other weird extensions. I remember astro allowing you to download anything you want when I had my g1, but no luck getting it to work on this phone. Any suggestions or ideas?

Get astro, then open it and go to settings and make sure t has enabled browser download

you can do the same thing with linda file manager also... like said before just make sure that browser DL patch is checked...
Yup that worked for me. Thanks guys.

OP edited, NSFW folder is removed, now NSFW pictures will be located in the same folder.
Sorry about the folder problems, not sure what's going on with 4shared lately.

Hmm, I tried uploading and downloading on the stock browser and didn't have a problem. Are you using the first or second link?

ack, sorry for the problems guys. I'll try to figure a way to get this sorted. I was hoping this would really come together nicely.
Give me a little bit, I'm stuck at work right now, then a nerve-root block injection at 11:30 (Alaska time). I'll try to get something worked out before then.

With Boat browser you can long click on the link and choose 'save link' and it will save with the correct file name.

I got the .bin on one of the files, the rest worked great. Thanks for setting this up.
I just tried to upload a 3D picture IMG0149.mpo and it only shows in 2D when trying to view it. Any ideas?

I see it in 3D on there. When you view the image, try pressing menu and see if there is a button for "View in 3D".
I'm trying to figure out the .bin problem... I can only find two pictures so far that it happens with. If I download them on my PC it works fine after being transferred to my phone, but it won't allow me to download as .mpo format.
I'm going to try to remove and re-upload the problem files, so please give me some time, again I'm sorry for the problems it's having. 4shared is not being nice to me today.
Edit: Heading out now for most of the day, have to go get myself a spine injection. I'll try to get the problem files sorted later tonight.
rad as hell. downloading them all.
Holy derp batman! I figured out the .bin problem!
Apparently, if there's a space in the name, it downloads as a .bin. No space = no .bin
So from now on, no spaces in the names.
You were all downloading the "Down Shirt.mpo" picture it seems (Down Shirt has been renamed to Down_shirt, go get it lol)
Edit: Also, didn't get my spine injection today, that's why I'm still active on the forum. I'll be getting it next Monday morning.

4shared does that with stock browser along with dolphin..just rename it to correct file name and you are set..not a problem with firefox..the download engine is different so does not mess up as does stock. Also have problems with rapidshare and some of the other sites....even on file names that are correct.

.bin problem is solved. As long as the files don't have a space in them, they download as .mpo properly. Took me a while to figure out the problem, then I noticed that the only two pictures so far that wouldn't download right had spaces... Renamed the files, and the problem was solved. Not sure if it will happen again, but it seems that it's resolved at least.
I have problems downloading on 4shared with file names..happens on 3vo and also happened with evo 4g...download a mp3 from 4shared and see what I mean. With or without spaces..no big...just a pain in the rear end..
This is a known problem

I'm just sharing the space, don't forget to thank the people that are uploading to the site. Could definitely use more pictures, but people are uploading little by little.
Nice job renaming the pictures, I will try to take some more today and upload.

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

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
When I had my cappy I could download apk and zip files and stuff that people posted on the forums while browsing on my phone. I can't do that anymore. It just keeps saying download unsuccessful. It is kind of a paint to see something I want then have to go to the computer. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change something in the settings? Thanks for any input.

Do you have a folder in the internel sdcard named DOWNLOAD ?
If not create it and try downloading again. (using default browser).
You should be able to download anything off of internet.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
Try downloading "download all files" from the market, it allows the stock browser to download any file type

I checked for the download folder and it was there. I downloaded that app from the market and that did the trick. I am not sure why I never had to do that on my captivate. Maybe it was the rom I was running. Thanks for the help, guys.

I have the same problems with downloads being unsuccessful with the stock browser. But on all other browsers our seems to work fine. I just copy paste the link into a different browser if I want to download something. Dolphin and opera both work fine.

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our device. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app AND data. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.
I also noticed that after the first time it said unsupported..i just went back to titanium and restored the data again..if you have any buffering problems..that on hulu not the app.
Im currently watching hulu on my tab as we speak
Please post back if this works for you.

Works great so far, occasional force close while scrolling but that's the only issue that i've noticed aside from the dreaded endless buffering which you had already mentioned is on Hulus end. Nice work...

Thanks yeah that's an older apk..I'll update mine and post a new one. The new one buffers allot too but may have less force closes..I've been using this since Hulu first came out and only posted it here because someone in my other thread said it worked on their tab.

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.
So download the latest hulu plus from the market.
Download any root file manager. I use root explorer but any other file browser that let's u edit data folder would do it.
Open file browser and go to /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs and open cSPrefs.xml
Now in that file there's a huge string named lastTimeOut.
In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
enjoy your hulu.

When I open cSprefs.xml it is only a couple of lines long and doesn't have the above string of text in it anywhere. I am using Root Explorer to open and edit the file, would that be the problem?
When i download the zip it says the directory isnt found. I cant even find the zip once i download it.
Sent from my GT-P7310 using Tapatalk 2
So I decided to try this again. I understand the directions now i do the following.
Use root explorer and open cSPrefs.xml
I find the text string mentioned above and change "p5wifi" to"Stingray" then save and close the file.
I then reopen the file and confirm the change. Then when I open hulu plus I get the device not supported error. When i reopen cSPrefs.xml it has changed the device back to p5wifi.
Can anyone help me please.
