[Q] Can't download anything with the built in browser? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
also happend with different browsers, too.

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] 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:

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.

go into astro settings and enable browser downloads
Exactly that i did...
I use Download All Files http://market.android.com/details?id=com.hwkrbbt.downloadall
Dont ask me why but i was also going crazy over this. I thought...doesn't anybody notice this?
Okay, so the solution i took from the original galaxy s, go to date and time, turn off automatic.
See if that helps.
I'm sorry, but how can i use it. I didn't understand to "download all files" aplication. I installed it, tried download in browser, but no change. How can I download with that ?
Well have you changed the Stock Browser to Desktop by entering 'about:useragent'? I also had that problem and doing that trick worked for me.

Use Opera and you will have no problems

Do you still get download failed when you use "download all file " app ?
Use the proper Opera browser rather than opera mini, works with filehosts

[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

[Q] Adobe Flash problem ...

Hi - We have two Galaxy I9100 S2's - both are Unlocked, Rooted, and running Jellybean 4.1.2 I9100XWLSD_I9100OXXLS6_I9100XXLS8_NEE (the Nordic build)
I visited a web site in the stock browser that required Flash, and discovered that Flash is no longer available from Google Play
I found that Flash will work on JB, if you side-load the .apk
So, I download Flash from http://d-h.st/x4v, installed it, re-visited the web site, and the Flash video played ok in my browser :good:
Problem is, after following the same procedure on my wife's phone, her phone will still not play the video
I've tried re-downloading the .apk, also copying the .apk from my phone using WiFi-Direct
Any ideas why it works on one phone and not on the other ?

Don't know which version you used, but try this one.
Thanks - won't be able to try it until tonight though
Once I got my hands on her phone, I noticed that she'd increased the default font size, and also activated the browser's Incognito mode
I un-did those two settings, and installed your Flash .apk,
and it's working now :good:
-Thanks

Choose File Not Working (in browser)

In almost all browsers (except chrome) I can't use file browsers. For example, if I wanted to attach a picture to this post I can't. I can click manage attachments, but when I choose "choose fie", nothing opens.
It used to work, so I think it's something to do with 4.4?
I have a galaxy note 3
4.4 kitkat
Omega rom (which has always worked, but hasn't since 4.4, even on stock rom)
Is there any work around for this? Is it because it's changed to emulated0?
Is it a kk issue or is it my issue?
