Hey everyone.
Im looking for an app that allows to save web pages for offline reading. I found Pocket, which has this function, but it seems to work sometimes and others it doesnt. Sometimes I open a downloaded web page when Im at bed to read it and it doesnt show up, maybe because it didnt download it correctly. Other times it seems it needs an internet connection to open the web page in web view.
I never use the article view. I always prefer the exact same web view.
Also I would need this app to have some sort of backup method, so I dont have to redownload all my web pages over and over again whenever I try a new ROM.
Any advice?
Thanks.

The Ocean browser in the Play store can save Web pages for reading offline.
Its not an app but there's a site called offliberty that can save a page for offline viewing through your browser. Never tried on a phone/tablet so idk if it'll work.
Stock AOSP Browser allows this.

I have used "web to pdf" to save a bunch of diy's from a car website. It works really well.

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.
D'Oh! Thank you to everyone who read this. Simply clearing the cookies prevented the site from redirecting me to nirvana. Sorry for wasting your time!
I'll keep this here though, so anyone else suffering the same situation can find it.
Hi folks,
I'm afraid this is one of the rare ocassions for me when intense googling doesn't reveal a proper solution - or I'm missing the proper search terms.
I recently installed then uninstalled the app "Doodle Scheduling", the Android App to use the popular Doodle.com Meeting Planner.
The app offers an option to redirect any link related to Doodle back to the app, so that you can use the app instead of the website when someone mails you a Doodle link. (This basically works like Play Store links, when the browser asks you, wether youd like to open them in the Play app or in browser.)
While this option worked pretty well (actually the only feature of the app that worked as expected) I decided to dump the app, as it is probably the worst app I ever encountered.
Contrary to any other Android app that uninstalls without leaving any traces on the device, the Doodle app decided to keep the browser redirect hook. Now whenever I try to open a Doodle link the URL changes from "http://..." to "doodle-redirect://..." and the browser displays an error message like "You are not allowed to open this site" (My error message is in German).
Where in the android system are those redirect hooks managed? I'm rooted, so I 'm able to change config files all over the system. I'd be more than happy if someone could provide me with a hint, since at the moment I'm not able to use doodle at all from my phone. I am not willing to erase browser data as all my bookmarks would go down the drain as well...
Details if needed:
Motorola Defy
CM7.2
Stock Browser
Miren Browser (Problem exists in both browsers, Stock browser usually freezed via Titanium)
Thank you very much in advance,
modmatt

this type of settings is usually reset by going to Settings/Applications/ and pressing the "Clear defaults" button in the individual app settings, maybe the same trick would work in your case - ie. you could try to reinstall the app, and clear it's defaults before uninstalling?
Thank you for your solution. Unfortunately that was not the thing, as I hadn't had that application installed so I couldn't clear any defaults.
However I found the solution and wrote it above the first post.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my post!
So recently, this issue has appeared on my Hero. For some reason, I am not able to load webpages in the stock and many other web browsers , on 3G and WiFi. When I try to load website, the browser tries to load the page but it keeps loading forever and nothing actually happens.
This happens to the stock web browser, in-app browsers (e.g. when you authenticate Facebook, Google, ... in an app), a lot of browsers from the Play Store, ... The only browser which actually can load pages, is Opera Mini. I can stick with that, but I want to fix this issue because I can't e.g. authenticate Google Drive in Titanium Backup, authenticate Facebook in a Facebook app, ...
Does anyone know how to fix this? I really appreciate some help.

Clearing cache, dalvik-cache, /data and /system and reflashing the ROM finally fixed it. Thanks man
I've rooted my G3 and have had issues with pages not displaying in full site views @ all (e.g. Accuweather) or incorrectly (e.g. Google Play) for some time now. I get "Server Error...Connection refused...Error 500" when trying to display pages in full site views in Chrome and Dolphin browsers. Other sites, like Google Play display incorrectly/wonky in full site and mobile views, meaning almost in a pure text view, no page search bar, etc. Also, I've noticed when going to the Weather Channel site, the page language displays English and Chinese/Japanese = odd. I've done a factory reset and still have this issue. I know this wasn't a problem before but I don't know if the rooting or use of of post root apps have done the damage. Right now, all I have are some basic rooted apps - ES File Manager, Cerberus, AdBlock Plus, SuperSU Pro, Titanium Pro, Webkey, Widgetroid, and Tasker. I've searched for answers and even went to LG for help, but nothing is resolving this issue. I'm @ a loss of what to do...anyone help, please?
What browser? I've had weirdness with the AOSP browser(s), never used Dolphin, Firefox, etc.
Chrome, both stable release and beta, work fine, altho I generally do not prefer full site view. If Chrome, perhaps try deleting Data then completely uninstall via Root Explorer / ES File Mgr by deleting the .apk in System/Apps, reboot, and download Chrome from Play Store.
It's the default browser with the phone, which is Chrome. I've tried Dolphin to see if it was Chrome and the same issues show up. It's odd that these problems didn't pop up until recently. I first noticed it when I tried to go from the Accuweather app to a detailed forecast via the app and noticed the full version webpage would not show. The more I looked into the issue, the more sites I noticed similar problems along with the newer issues mentioned.
Will the uninstall/reinstall create any issues since it's the default browser of the phone? I don't know if other parts of the ROM will falter when I try that fix.

Have you tried disabling the ad blocking? I have had problems (on a previous device) like this with certain ad blockers in place.
I just got a new S9+ and when using the Facebook mobile site there is no photo button next to comments and if I try and upload a photo it says "Your browser doesn't support posting photos directly".
This issue goes away when I force desktop site (I use brave browser but it's the same in chrome) but that's kind of annoying, I gather it has something to do with android switching from webview to using chrome instead but I can't figure it out. Any ideas? And no I refuse to use the faceberg app.
Same.. Just upgrade my phone fromm Nought to oreo.
And got this problem
Your browser doesn't support posting photos directly
Note 8.
I tried disabling chrome and changing back to android web viewer but still no dice, surely someone knows how to fix this?
Bump
Why don't you try Firefox or another browser?
Also, it might be because of the phone screen. Next time you log in, try to select "Use desktop version" for the Facebook website and see if the problem persists.
I already stated in the OP it works when I force desktop website, I dont want to have to constantly switch between the mobile and desktop sites in order to post a photo considering I didnt have to on a version of Android that's 3 generations older than the one I'm currently using.
