Was wondering if there is any way to cancel a download in the stock browser. I ended up having to wait for the full 1GB file to finish and couldn't find a way to cancel both from drop down status bar and within the browser. Tried killing the app and deleting the file at location but it would silly start downloading again...

Download app -> Hold on the download -> Cancel.
Or something like that.
Thanks for your quick reply! I tried this too but nothing would cite up if I held the downloading file, or I'd get a unfortunately the browser had stoped working message, yet the download continued. Ended up freezing the download manager under System in the System tuner app which killed the download.
Edit: I lost 10% battery from the 1gb download!! :banghead:

Use Download Blazer for downloads. It is shown as download option about 85% of the time.

Problem: Google Music closes after about 2 minutes of putting the phone into sleep mode or clicking the button to turn off the screen. I cannot figure out how to allow the app to continue to run while in sleep mode.
The phone is not rooted and I am running stock everything. I also do not have a microSD card would that matter?
Please advise.
Does anyone know if google music has to use a microSD card?

Did you accidentally add the application to the auto-end in the Task Manager app? I had a heck of a week traveling until I found my goof-up in doing this.
Nope I removed it and tested it again still didn't work. Could it be because of the moto.blur stuff?

I hate saying this, but "It works for me" applies here. I know I have some bad files uploaded to GM, which causes the program to crash from time to time.
Hmm do mine sharing exactly what you did? Maybe I can figure it out from there?

Hello,
I would need some help please. I am on stock rom. Un rooted. I was going through my Gmail app and decided to download an attachment without being connected to edge or wifi. It started downloading it, it shows in my notification Window which I slide down. But since it was not connected, it wouldn't download but showed the download process not progressing. So I open my edge connection, and downloaded it. But now, it says in my notification Window that it is still trying to download the attachment. I am connected to the Internet. How do I stop my phone from trying to download the attachment? It won't go away from my notification Window? I have turned off, restarted and un installed all the updates from Gmail but still hasn't worked.
Please help!!
Also just to add, I have signed out all my accounts from Gmail app. But it's still downloading the attachment.

Figured it out, did the above but instead of force stopping gmail force stop download manager
I opened an attachment from Gmail. The file started downloading but before it could start something weird happened and network connectivity was last.
It's notification in the notification bar is still there which does not go even after rebooting. Notification when pulled down does like this...
The photo 1.JPG doesn't go even after rebooting several times. On a non rooted phone

I have tried different roms. I have superwiped my sd card and formatted my external card. I have flashed the stock ICS firmware and then tried flashing from that. I have tried to use System Tuner from the market to freeze or disable some of the responsibilities of downloads, downloads, sec.android.providers.downloads, drm content manager and it just seems to make other things not work like the market or downloading files.
I don't know what else to do but I cannot seem to shake this battery drain...please help!!!

Better Battery Stats is installed. I plugged and unplugged and now I'm letting it gather its stats. I have to go to work and so that will allow the 1-4 hours to compile a proper dump and I will attempt to post it here. Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

My worst is network location locator that drains my battery, only just installed bbs yesterday so not sure what all the wakelocks mean or alarms or anything else.
I know media is your downloads and you probably have your apps on auto update.
Doesn't have many instructions.
You must have a very low screen setting for 20% mine is at least at 70 and that's when I have it on auto brightness

You have the media scanner bug. There is no real cure but formatting the external sd card can help.
The simplest solution is just to force close it. It should not return until you reboot .
It's a Samsung issue so until they fix it we just have to live with it

I do have it on auto update but the thing is that I was having no problems as of 2 - 3 weeks when I was flashing up to a Rom a day trying to find the best jellybean one. Then all of a sudden, BAM!!!

I did format it and started from scratch but it is still being a *****, lol. However, I installed bbs and after 4 hours of it runnning while at work it reset itself for some reason and doesn't show me a log. But I plugged and unplugged and seem to be having some drain but not as much.

Grab this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiY29tLmFkZHoubWVkaWFzY2FubmVycm9vdCJd from the play store!
Can probably do it with Tasker as well.

Sorry was late here when I posted, I should have explained.
Run the app from the app drawer, hit the disable Media Scanner button. This will kill the media scanner everytime you reboot (if you are roorted, assume you are). To rescan for media just open the app and then close it.
Check after a reboot to make sure Media is not chewing up the battery. It works for me under JB and also did under GB.
If you use Tasker you should be able to achieve the same thing. So you could just kill that process with Tasker and either run it and kill it at certain times or the author of the above also has an app just called Rescan Media which you could just run via tasker at a given time interval. Personally never found the need but I guess it depends on how much media you actiually hold on your device etc...

Plain & Simple.
You get this annoying message everytime you unplug your phone from the charger?
0. Open your favorite fileexplorer with root support.
1. Find system/app/SemcUnplugChargerReminder.apk
2. Rename it to SemcUnplugChargerReminder.apk2
Done.
Or just delete that file. no need to rename it.
no harm in deleting
For me that function is not unwanted. I intend to forget it

Better rename it so if you want to see again the notification you just go and rename it back to .apk...
Deleting it will have no way back
Is there anyway this could be adapted to remove the data warning when switching 3g/4g on. Im on unlimited 3g so the message is unwanted

@James2003 made what you are looking for.

The by far easiest way without the root needed is to long press the notification, enter app-settings and uncheck "get notifications"
just FREEZE the app using Titanium Backup, If you want it back simply DEFROST the app
