Having issues downloading from web pages. I will click a link, side panel opens with the document icon (power point for example), then I will, tap download.
At that point it will flash the progress bar with only a sliver, then show a grayed icon and say download again. Nothing will download at all.. I've resorted to downloading on my evo, using WiFi file explorer pro as an ftp... Works but a pain in the ass for school.
thought maybe it had to with some patches I installed from preware. I uninstalled a download unthrottler thinking that could be causing issues, but nope.
thanks for any input!
16gb touchpad, uberkernek, clocked at 1.5Ghz, various patches.
yeah I am getting the same thing downloading from my dropbox account.
edit: I tried a random .exe file from download.com and googled a random .pdf file to test from the browser and they downloaded fine... why won't download from dropbox?
The only sites I've tried are my school's BlackBoard site, and Dropbox. I shall try another site here at some point.
Same issues for me. It seems like a broswer issue with credentials or something. Any documents downloaded from secure sites do not open. If I don't have to login it works fine. I have confirmed this with blackboard as well as my bank account. I can download the exact same files on my computer, upload to box.net and download and open fine with the box app on TP. Very annoying....

By Jo you're right! Never thought about the secure site thing. Just tested it, same results as your own. Curious , do you have a bunch of tweaks and patches applied? I certainly do but wasnt sure if that had anything to do with it.

I do too. I don't think it is related but might be worth uninstalling then to see.

I don't know it it is touchpad related or just browser related. My intuition tells me browser since we can Backdoor the issue fine through the box app. Either way it will hopefully get addressed either officially or.in the community. Possibly a 3rd party browser can fix it. There r a couple for sale in the market but I won't spend the money unless u know for sure it has a workaround. Hopefully this issue bugs enough people or the right people enough to be addressed. Here's to hoping!

I'm having similar issues. Unable to download from dropbox and Microsoft exchange website for my school email
It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?
Hey buddy aren't you from Hero Land??

I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise

Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

I upgraded to ICS yesterday and everything seems great. The only issue I have is that I can't find out how to put the stock browser into desktop mode. I found a menu option for "request desktop
site" but it seems to need to be checked everytime you visit the site. Any ideas how to get this turned on permanently?
There may be a way to do it in debug mode but luckily someone has made a version of the stock browser with just such an option easily available!

Had the same problem just ended up getting ics + browser from the market. Fixed my problem.
wish i had an answer...
probably why everyone uses other browsers like dolphin, or opera...
Ya its weird. The option to do it was in honeycomb but they seem to have forgotten to include it in ICS
You have to type in "about:debug" then go into settings, then into developer or something. Should be in there, under like UA String

I don't seem to have this problem with bookmarked sites. Once I set the drop menu option, add to bookmarks, it will work every time.
For non bookmarked sites it seems to be iffy. Most of the time it continues to work, but sometimes not.
ICS Stock Browser desktop option has something seriously wrong. I cant get pages to load after enabling it. I have to go into system settings and clear cache to make it load pages again. Anyone else having this problem?

I think that this is one of the biggest problems with the stock ICS browser, and its one that has made it unusable for me. I'm moving to Dolphin HD until Google release some kind of fix for this, preferably returning to the old way of setting the user string.
Download ICS browser in the market, the stock is total embarrassment to ICS.
I have a Moto Droid X2 using GB 2.3.5 and Eclipse 2.2.1 ROM with Verizon Wireless in the USA. For the life of me I cannot figure this one out...
When I receive emails from EastBay.com or HomeRunMonkey.com they generally display correctly on my X2. However they also sends advertisement emails and both use a 3rd-party company, mybuys.com. Whenever I receive emails that are advertisements, the images are blocked. I checked Google and MyVerizon and nothing is showing as being blocked. So, if I try to click the link in the email that says if you cannot see the images, click here, my native browser opens but it errors out as if I have no active internet connection. I've even tried Opera Browser and the URL still fails. If I try to open the same email message on my PC using Gmail or on my HP TouchPad, the email displays correctly and the URL also works in all browsers. The best I can determine is Verizon Wireless is blocking this company. I'm guessing this because if I tether my TouchPad to my X2 using FoxFi then the same negative results occur - I cannot see the images in the email or browse to the URL in any browser.
Can someone with a Droid X2 on VZW please try the URLs below and let me know if it works?
http://w.p.mybuys.com/mfs/EASTBAY/201207022309/4662402/46624026764.html
http://w.p.mybuys.com/mfs/HOMERUNMONKEY/201207032150/4664783/46647836937.html
I have no idea what else I can try other than calling VZW but I'm apprehensive to do so in fear they tell me to go to a store and when I get there they see my Rooted and Eclipse ROM'd X2 and refuse to help me.
Any suggestions at all are most welcome.
Thanks!
P.S. I did make sure in Gmail the sender is always set to display images, also added their email address to my address book, made sure there were no filters, etc., but I seriously doubt Gmail is the issue.
So I just forwarded the email to my work account and on my work laptop everything displays correctly but if I view the same work email on my Droid X2, I still cannot see any images. I have to conclude either something on the phone itself is the issue or it is VZW blocking access to the site that supplies the external images.
That url doesn't work for me using eclipse and dolphin hd.

Thanks for checking and just to confirm, you too are on VZW? I'm in Southern NJ, what region are you?
I haven't had that particular problem but I do use my phone to make a hotspot and watch hulu and just the internet from my phone seems to be blocking the commercials cause it works fine on my home connection. I'll let you know if I find a setting to fix it but so far its not looking like something I did

Ok, sorry to be a PitA - they opened on your phone in the native browser? Yes, both sites are sporting goods and sporting apparel. And just to confirm, are you on Verizon Wireless and are you rooted/custom ROM or totally stock? I'm trying to see if the Eclipse ROM in any was has bearing on this and want to rule it out if possible. Thanks.
UGH! My VZW Blocking theory is starting to crumble...
I just tested those links on a Droid X (I know it's not an X2) and the emails from my gmail account and the website links all worked perfectly. That Droid X is on VZW, same region as me, but is unrooted and on the stock ROM. I'm now wondering if Eclipse might be the issue. I guess I need to get Nitro involved for some help...

I would agree that eclipse is the problem. I was on stock cause I couldn't get the download for cm9 alpha 4 to work. I went to eclipse about an hour ago and tried those links again and they immediately go to failed load page. Before they did just open in my native browser

I was starting to lean that way too and just sent Nitro a message asking for help. Maybe he can isolate the issue and fix it. Thanks for confirming - most appreciated.

No problem homie
first time I ever heard any one complaining their adverts are blocked, lol.
So, you are upset because (you are assuming) the rom is blocking spam/advertsing?
If I could block every single ad I would, I cant get enough of ad-block.
Gl hope you get what you want working working though.
I know it sounds crazy and generally I agree with you but in this case they are legit ads that I read to keep up on deals for my son who plays baseball. It just so happens I discovered something in the ROM was preventing me from accessing the URLs.

what was it?
please post up what ya found!
I emailed nitro to look into it. But so far ive determined with help from others is Verizon is not blocking anything and a stock droud x or x2 CAN access the URLs but the Eclipse ROM for the X2 cannot. Whatever is the root cause I do not know so that is why I emailed nitro. I even determined that while my hp Touchpad CAN see the images in gmail and access the URLs from any browser the minute I Tether it to my X2 images in gmail wont load and the urls fail in any browser. The x2 fails whether 3g or wifi.

I just got my brand new SGS3 and while surfing the internet, I realized that when using google search, the recent/popular search suggestions below do not work.I can click them, but once clicked nothing happens. It's suppose to redirect me to the new search. Has anyone experienced the same thing when using google search on the SGS3?
This only occurs when I search directly form google.com. Bing and yahoo searches work fine however. The suggestions below their respective search boxes can be clicked and it redirects fine.
Probably the stock browser is at fault? It's annoying to have to type the entire search since the suggestions cannot be clicked... anyone think of why it's only google.com that has this problem?
Mine does the same but there's an arrow on the right side you can click and it fills in the search bar...still very annoying cause I always end up hitting the phrase first instead of the arrow.

That's very strange. I've never had that problem and I've used 3 different browsers including stock. If you really want to use the stock browser and you're rooted try flashing GApps on it which may fix it, or just try a different browser like Chrome.
