Hi All,
I have aDownloader installed currently, upon trying to save to smb location. (i copy location path from ES file explorer)
I get "location unknown" or something of the sort.
Just trying to make it easy for my wife to be able to choose what she wants to download on my TFP, it downloads to my media centre PC. Then watch it on the home theatre
Thanks guys
I'm not sure if the client Transmission is available for PC but if you download that client and download Remote Transmission for your tablet then you can add torrents and it will download to your PC.

Like ayman07 said, a lot of the PC torrent programs have android remote apps that allow you to control them from the phone or tab. Search the market and see it your bittorrent client has one.
Get the latest utorrent.
Set up the webui by typing a user/pass
log in via https://remote.utorrent.com/ with your user/pass.
Now, download the utorrent remote app.
Add your torrents from your phone/tablet.
You can even transfer the files to your tablet/phone via wifi by clicking the phone icon.
This works the best for me.

This method sounds perfect.
Thank you very much
Well...
It might not be the same thing, but i personally have utorrent set up perfectly at home.
Sooooo i added a watch folder that goes to my dropbox. Now all i do is drop the torrent files in my drop box folder and my utorrent at home will automatically download the file.
No additional programs or settings.
Works for me, might work for others.

That works too. I used to do the same thing with a network drive but i didn't think about dropbox. Good call.
I do like to see the progress of the download but that isn't necessary.

I had trouble too at first. For some reason the utorrent client did not update. Make sure you have the latest utorrent client installed.

I just really want to know that it finished, So i have it set up that when the torrent finishes downloading, the torrent file is removed from the dropbox folder.
You can also create folders within that folder, and have the torrent file moved from the main to a "working" folder when it is being worked on and then to a "completed" folder when it is done.
That way you can be sure that the file is being worked on and also when it is completed.
Hope that helps.

I can't seem to download attachments from XDA
I'm scanning the QR code, it opens up the browser and starts the download but immediately fails.
Filesharing sites doesn't work either.
^I know it can be fixed using another browser, but I really like the stock browser
Fixed using another browser? Well not for me. When downloading attachments, you do need a program on your phone that's capable of reading the formats you're wanting to download.
Like a filebrowser for APK's. I'm not sure, but I thought 'My Files' doesn't support this feature, hence you need another one like I/O or Estrongs.
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?
Here is the Amazon Video APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352694
This is really the last piece that the Kindle has over the Nook Tablet... and now that is solved.
Notes
There is some preventative code in the Amazon Video Player that stops it from playing if you are rooted, but just get the "OTA RootKeeper" app from the Google Market (or search the apk) and install that. That lets you temporarily unroot with a single click. Then restore root with another. All right from your device! No need for PC connection. Now you can watch your prime shows without losing root!
There is no menu option to login to your prime account through the app. Some people claim that if you have Amazon MP3 installed and login there, then install the Amazon Video app, it will use the same login info. But if that doesn't work, you can simply click on a prime video, click the buy button, it will take you to a login screen, then login and it should recognize your prime access and let you watch.
Won't save login
Amazon Video apk installs and runs beautifully but I can't sign in. I selected a movie to purchase, was taken to the login screen, entered login info (I'm a Prime member.) but then it kicks me back to the movie screen and starts the cycle all over again. After re-entering my login several times it never gets past the loop. Is there a trick to having it remember the login?
Try and reboot the nook after logging in, worked for me.
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda premium
Worked!
Worked like a charm and I'm embarrassed that I didn't try this first! Thanks for your reply.
Looks like it doesn't work if you are rooted.
Worked before rooting, no longer working after rooting. I am a sad panda.
The work around is to use OTA RootKeeper, a free app on the Market that will backup your "root files" (I'm guessing su) and restore when you need it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
Unfortunately, I can't test this since I don't yet have the Nook or any other Android tablet. Hope it helps you guys out though!

It's a better layout, and the video plays faster since it's all native.
Didn't work for me. I think because my NT is now rooted. Got a "cannot open file" when I tried to launch the apk.
about streaming videos...
Can anyone check how these stream on NT:
http://vimeo.com/hd
http://veetle.com/index.php/listing#all/quality/1 (highest playable bitrates?)
Revision3 apk (available at Market) when on "HD" ?
any other online HD streaming video content you know of and able to watch and report/demonstrate?
Thank you
Can NON Prime members at least rent movies? No free streaming right? I have the Amazon player on my NT but afraid to login to my Amazon account because I dont't want to be charged $80 lol

Prime membership just gives you a subset available to stream for free. It is not a requirement for accessing the video service.

On the page for the video, it shows the different options available to watch (Streaming, Download to PC, Portable Device, etc...). Can you download the portable device version and transfer it to the NT to play in the app?

You shouldn't get that error if you are rooted. It should let you do everything but give you a warning when you try to watch. But see the first post again for notes on how to easily bypass this.

Hmm. I installed the package twice and it's nowhere to be found, even with ES File Explorer.
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.
Hi Everyone!
Just a quick question for those of you on Jelly Bean and living in Canada or anywhere where Google Magazines is not supported. Did you figure out a way to get the Magazine APK that works into your device and get it up and running? Were you able to download magazines afterwards?
Thanks!

I just got my Nexus 7 Monday, and I've been trying to do exactly that. Couple things i've tried is using OpenVPN client and route all traffic through my US based server, then re-open the Google Play app and all the content shows up. When I browse to the Play Magazines app, it says "INSTALLED", additionally there is no open or update buttons. And when I initiated the install from my PC browser it says it is already installed. I also found an apk and tried installing that, it installed fine (it also gave a prompt saying "system app"...already installed...do you want to replace it notification) but doesn't show up anywhere in the system (app drawer etc.); and when I browsed to Play Magazines app in the Play store it changed from "INSTALLED" to "UPDATE". So it's there somewhere...I just can't see or open it!!
Also just for kicks i tried purchasing a magazine (while the vpn tunnel was still connected) without the app, but it gave an error saying not available for purchase in your country.
I've attached the apk i found, in case you want to give it a try.

Found a solution!!
(Skip to step 2 and try that first, if that doesn't work then go back to step 1)
STEP 1: install a file explorer (i use ES File Explorer) and browse to system/apps/Magazine.apk. Click to install it.
STEP 2: browse through your app drawer and find "Play Magazines". If it's not there add the "Play - My Library" widget, it should prompt you with a few options of what to add...My Library, Movies & TV, Books and now hopefully Magazines. Once added it may ask to "touch to re-enable" the magazines.
Poof, thats it! Now Magazines should be visible/enabled. Enjoy!
This worked on my Nexus 7, I had to purchase magazines on my PC's browser. on the tablet with VPN enabled it synced the magazine and I can sucessfully download and read it. On my Galaxy Nexus (flashed to YAKJU), even with VPN it will not sync magazines or be able to browse Magazines in the Play store. I'm thinking this is because it detects "region" via the SIM...
Let me know if that works for you.

Out of curiosity, I know you would need VPN to download the magazines, but once you downoaded and synced the magazine, could you disable VPN and still read it? (i.e. use VPN to download magazines and then disable VPN, reboot the device to it knows you're in Canada and keep reading the magazines you already downloaded?) Or can you only read magazines with VPN active?
Also, did you get access to any of the free magazines that come with the nexus 7 in the US? e.g. Popular Science (July 2012), etc.
Thanks!
@greenglue
Interesting, same as my Nexus 7 except the 16GB. Did you try with VPN?
@mck86
Yes, as far as I have tested you can continue to read once the VPN is disabled. (Although it may periodically disappear again, and you may have to click "re-enable" on the widget).
I wasn't aware of free magazines that came with it, I'll have to double check.

3. In ES file manager click the apps manager icon and then click play magazines icon. Magazine app should now sign in and work. Icon will now appear tablet wide.

How did you purchase the magazines through your browser? I feel like I'm going to feel really silly once I get the answer but I can't figure it out.

Hi, I'm not sure where to go next. I installed the Magazine APK. In ES I now have the Play Magazine icon showing up when I first open then app (along with all the other folders, Android, Downloads, Movies, Music, etc.). When I select it it lets me install it, which is great, but then it's not showing up in the app drawer or in the App Manager option within ES.
Any ideas how to get it to open? I'm lost.
