Try to clear data from browser (settings>all>browser)
If nothing helps just use a third part browser (firefox, dolphin, chrome etc.)

I just noticed that you were also the OP to the other thread I replied to. Just a word of caution, try to post everything on 1 thread. The mods may not like all these different threads.
Anyway, check out my response to your rooting issue thread.
EDIT: Forgot to answer your question on this one LOL. I would reflash your ROM.

Maybe try uninstalling market updates and cleaning the cache in app management?

He is using 2.1 so he can't clear the cache. He would have to use root explorer, remove vending.apk from /system/app, reboot then reinstall the market.
@shahkam I was doing some test on updating the market on 2.1 but things didn't work out. If you want to stay with 2.1 the only thing I can suggest is use erickwill's custom 2.1 which already has tweaks but it's based on the stock 2.1 rom.

Interesting...are you having trouble browsing the web using 3g/2g???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Being blocked maybe?!
This doesn't seem an error on your rom, this seems more likely that something is blocking your download.
Not sure if this is your case scenario but i can't download any apk and others from my university.
If you are inside some company network, or something like that this most likely is the reasons.
When the download shows on the top it means your rom is trying to download, but the server may have been blocked, so it will keep trying for a long time, also may give you some small lag during that.
If you can download apk files from other sources it means that they may have blocked only using domain filter or ip filtering.
To be able to access the market doesn't mean that the server isn't blocked, only means that the main domain isn't blocked, i don't which is the server for market downloads so i can't tell you how to check this, but the best way would be to get try multiple wifi hotspots or a home totally not firewalled connection.
If it downloads but doesnt install try unmounting your SD card and download, try again and see what happens.

Downloading attatched files on forums straight to phone

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
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
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.

I'm afraid that's a common problem, try using browsers like Dolphin HD or Opera

external memory card

hello peeps
fews days ago rooted and flashed to jelly bean, just noticed that any pictures i take go to the internal memory, when taking pictures or video there is no option to select which memory you can store them on any ideas, and plz no sarcastic comments:crying:
sorry i dont have an answer for you but i noticed the same thing, also pc does not see phone when connecting via usb so cant see anyway to drag and drop files onto my external sd card.

While in the camera app, click on the settings icon. It's the one shaped like a gear. Scroll to the second to last option, which is "Storage." Select "Phone" for internal storage or "Memory card" for MicroSD.
Let me know if that is what you were looking for.
As I stated in my original post in the camera app there is no option to choose your storage

It wasn't a sarcastic comment.
How are we supposed to know what ROM you are using? Those threads are there for a reason.

Does your memory card show up under Settings/Storage?
Yeah, shows up in storage, shows available space and unmount and format. Tried amounting and mounting but no change.
It also shows up in any file explorer and I can access all files, but no luck on the apps listed .its not really a massive problem as I will live with it till official release comes out with, but if it's a simple fix or me just being thick I will sort it.had issues with S2 and memory card on custom roms, but this has really thrown me due to it being there but not in some apps?

I'm sure you already have, but while in the Gallery, have you selected the menu/View by/Content in device?
Yeah tried that no change. At least the battery seems even better so counters all the time spent trying to figure it out

And you've taken the card out and put it back in and tried again? Did a complete battery pull, etc??
