This has only just started happening, no matter what type of file I download like pdf, XML, docx, MP4 or mp3 etc
Chrome will close down if I click on Chrome it will open on the page I was just on.
When I go to download folder rather than opening file it will open Chrome home page.
Any ideas what I could change?

Wierd.... In every download I've made via this phone since I got it, and they are many, it has happened. When the download is finished, when you press the notification in order to open the download manager and access the downloaded file, Chrome just closes, the manager never opens and you are being directed to homescreen...

OK, I just changed the download location folder to the default one, "Downloads" and it worked as it should be. Previously, I had set it to "Secure Digital".

So is anyone having issues downloading third party files even though you have the "unknow source" box checked? I never had an issues downloaing anything on previous android phones until I got my Photon. If anyone knows some settings I need to change or a fix I will appreciate your input.
Thanks,

Do you mean downloading an apk via the browser or installing an already downloaded apk file?

Yep I had that problem while trying to download the screenshot app from here for the MoPho. I ended up downloading the apk file to my desktop and I emailed it to my phone and then I was able to download and install it.
Download files with dolphin browser.

Yeah, the stock browsers are a little picky. For example, you cant download zip files, but with another browser from the market, you can - as mikel719 suggests.
Thanks for all the help guys....Dolphin browser worked like a charm!
Is it just me who can't seem to get complete downloads when they download a file with the default browser? The only browser that seems to download downloads fully is Opera ?
Another minor problem is that Google maps keeps appearing in my recent apps list for some reason despite closing it down.
Search for "download all files" in the market that should fix ur problems

Stock browser downloads just fine for me. It downloads to Downloads folder. Of course Opera mobile is the best for downloading though. It lets you choose exactly where you want file to download everytime and it seems to download things the fastest. Stock browser downloading does work though.
It downloads the file, it's just incomplete. Like a 5mb file will come out as a 22.6kb file and I won't be able to do anything with it. It seems to happen mostly with .zip files.

OK, I see what you saying now. I never tried a zip file on it. I have tried bigger files like videos n seemed to work. I usually just use opera mobile for any heavy duty downloading as it never fails usually. I just downloaded that "Download All Files" app from the marketplace. It says its like a browser plugin in supports all types of files to be downloaded. Might come in handy if I'm not using opera.

I just tested it out using stock browser. Thing is, stock browser will download it. Then if you click on it in notification area, it'll ask you what method to use. So I choose download all files method. Then it comes up n allows me to choose what folder I want to save to. So I save gain n works. But I use Astro explorer to make sure it put it in the right place and actually eneded up having 2 copies. One from whenbstock browser itself downloaded to downloads folder. Then the other one where I told the new download all files app to out it at. So I manually had to delete one version.
I think that app may be more for a browser without a built in downloaded. OR ELSE you just have to double check n make sure everything you downloading is double. Or I can see this as if the download fails in stock browser, then you can click it n use other method. I haven't had anything fail yet to really try that out.
Firefox will be able to download your file if the stock browser won't work.
I've got the same problem on my TF201. Opera Mobile does download the same file whereas the default browser and Chrome Beta fail as do the rest (FireFox and Dolphhin).

Whenever a new notification appears in my notification bar on stock gb rom its always accompanied by the same four browser notifications from months back saying download completed.
I downloaded some images off net for my blog using browser and even when I click clear to clear the notifications its only the same four download completed ones reappear.
Is there some way to manually remove them permanently assuming they are stored on device and for some reason not getting deleted properly?

Guess its a silly thing but I tried opening the Download history in the Browser and .......behold!!! This app was actually downloaded from the browser and now that I have cleared it from the browser, it is no longer showing up. Common sense...but well, I really didn't remember I downloaded this one on my browser and not the app market
I have a button which says "Clear" on the right side of the screen, but I have Samsung.
Go into the "Downloads" app or the download history in the browser and clear the files from there. That should stop the notifications.
Try whether this works?
Senior,
How about you give this a try?
1. Move the files which ur screen notifications refer to, into ur PC folder temporarily
2. Delete your download history in your phone
3. Reboot your phone and browse internet again
Check whether the same problem happens? If it's not, then you move your files back into your phone

I just upgraded to Jellybean yesterday and ICS Browser+ stopped working for obvious reasons. So now I am stuck with the chrome browser and wondering if there is some way that I can force it to always use desktop mode and never default to phone. I dont want to hit the "request desktop site" regularly and would just wish the setting would stick permanently.
But is that possibl?. ICS Browser+ gave me that functionality but it doesnt work with Jellybean. And mind you I am looking for a solution/fix/hack that WORKS in Chrome, and is NOT interested in switching browser...
Hoping someone might be able to provide the magic key to making this possible

Sadly this doesnt work. it doesnt save request desktop mode and still forces me to mobile sites
Open browser and in the address bar type about:debug nothing will happen then go to the browser settings and you'll have more options. Select settings, debug, uastring. Good to go. some phones it doesn't stick and have to do every time use browser
Oops...my bad...doesn't work with chrome but it does on the stock browser. Not sure what the string is for chrome. On opera it's aboutpera so maybe about:chrome?
The about trick for ICS only worked till the browser was closed or you rebooted, so sadly still not a permanent fix :/

Well then i guess you either do the about: debug and change your uastring or have a mobile browser. I personally don't have any issues with it sticking, still desktop on reboot.
You could try this
http://bit.ly/A5y6tT
I tried the about debug trick on my SGS2 back when I was actively using that. And that never stuck on reboot, and got turned off as soon as i closed the browser.
And why google for it when I suspected this site was to go to site for the android phones, but perhaps I am wrong in that assumption. I mean I did actually try the search build into this forum and since that didn't yield anything then I asked
Point being..i didn't make the YouTube video. I wasn't even on YouTube. I shared what works for me. Sorry what i offered wasn't a solution, but there really was no reason to yell. You asked for help, i offered. If don't like what everyone suggested, see link above.

The last link you shared was a hidden comment to go google for the solution . That is what sorta ticked me off <.<. BUT that being said the proposed fix does work on chrome, but NOT with the stock JB browser.
I was led to believe that the stock JB browser was chrome but matter of factly it can't be Chrome, considering the chrome-command-line fix does not seem to do anything to the stock browser at all. But it works on the version of Chrome from Play Store

Still not relevant to this particular subject tho . But I see now that my original question was erroneous since yes the fix does work on chrome. But at the same turn the JB stock browser != Chrome
No actually it was quite relevant. Seeing how you missed it...basically if going to be rude and yell at people who could have skipped over your thread so could get a new rom or mod..google it yourself.

Im not getting a new rom, thanks for offering the suggestion tho . I prefer the stock Samsung feel, but just don't agree on some of the settings. And my own skills into messing with system files and what not arent exactly on par with what I would expect would be required, hence why I am seeking for a mod, rather then building one myself from scratch.
Nevermind.
And I can only aspire to one day build my own rom.
Hi All,
I bought a tablet from a hospital auction a few weeks back. It has pre-programmed content running on them. The content is Context Media Health services and they play on a loop. I have tried a full wipe, restore, factory reset and nothing is working. I cannot even add an account or get google play to acknowledge I have a device - probably because I do not even have google play and cannot get it to install. I would like to just wipe out all the Context Medical Health information and get them back to factory or just get that off of their in order to use them.
Model # UIT313B-U01
Android version 4.4.4
kernel version: 3.0.36+
build number: Android 4.4.4
Outform-TAB1310-13.3-Y4. 13-20160122
Can anyone point me in a direction or lead me somewhere. These are just the way they came to me I have not ran any programs on them to correct because I am not sure what I need to do.
I would appreciate any help and Thank you in advance!

If you can access the status bar(it may close itself, if so just tap it really fast), tap on settings.
Send the .apks you will need over Bluetooth(custom launcher, F-Droid, etc.) then run them.
After installing your launcher, enable it in settings.
Next time you go to the home screen, a pop-up box confirming which launcher to use will appear. Just tap on your launcher and select "Always".
DO NOT uninstall "MDM-Client". Every thing will break if you do!
The tablet will be in a workable state, I have not tried to install a custom ROM, but it would probably work.
I hope this worked for you! I have almost exactly the same thing you have.

You can try to send via USB if the table has USB ports. Mine did near the charging port. Not sure if this will work, because I don't think you can access the file on the tablet to open it, but you can try.

If you transferred over Bluetooth, tap the triple dots in the top-right corner. Then hit "Show received files". Tap the .apk, press install. When that's all done, press the home button, select Nova Launcher, and press "Always". Now you have a different launcher then ContextMedia Health's launcher!
I'll look into getting the Play Store if you'd like.

I tried to on mine but I couldn't get it to work, but try this anyways:
Uninstall the Play Store you have currently installed.
Download the .zip that contains the four .apk files from here. (the file was too large to simply attach to the post, xda caps .zip file sizes at 20 MB)
Get them on the tablet, either by bluetooth or USB.
Install them in this order:
(1) accountmanager.apk
(2) servicesframework.apk
(3) playservices.apk
(4) playstore.apk
After that the Play Store might be installed and work correctly. I am not sure. It's worth trying though.
If it does work, but the play store looks old, don't worry. It will update soon enough.
I hope this helps you out!
