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.

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
Get astro, then open it and go to settings and make sure t has enabled browser download
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

Thanks for the tip.
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.
Wondering why I can't download any roms to my phone, goto mega upload to get the new rom and it says download unsuccessful.could do it with my infuse, am I missing something, sure I'm being dumb...on unnamed 1.03

I always download to my pc, then transfer to the phone with usb cable, or dropbox.

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
guys need a quick feed back, i've installed the stock gmail.apk onto my device, but i can't find out how i can save the .zip attachments that someone have sent to me ... i've tried several times w/o no luck, i've also tried download all files but seems that isnt working ... any tip?
IIRC, you can't download attachments with gmail. Try something else, like K9 or K10!
Install the app download all files or similar. Many in the market. Or use the gmail mobile website...

Download all files doesnt run. Any other? Have you tried something?

Any luck yet ?
I have tried searching on Internet but seems there isn't really a solution yet. A lot of people recommend Download All Files, Blackmoon etc... but the real issue here is that from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, there is NOT even a Preview button for the .zip attachment so non of those apps will work.
I would appreciate if there is any other working methods besides a third party email client.
Thanks.

These are your options:

Probably a stupid question already known by many, but im really anxious to try this one out (ICS pre leak Seraphim's) so here goes.. For whatever reason i can't get a download to start even thru the mirror..... Is it the link(s) itself, or did i need to start wipin and retry? Im on stock GB 2.3.6 rooted with Cwm, always get "download Unsuccessful"..plenty of room in all storage. .Thanks in advance.

What browser are you using? You might want to try dolphin or chrome.
