3gp Videos

[BlackHawkA4]

When I receive one via gmail I can not download it through the gmail app for some reason. I have to go to gmail through the browser.

Once downloaded in the notification bar and clicked: it prompts me to open with one of video game emulators.

when I go to the gallery the video is in the download folder and works fine.

Mainly I want to know why the gmail app won't allow download.

There are apps that will allow you to download attachments from GMail - search the Market and you should find a few.

I get all other attachments fine. I don't feel like downloading another program for just one file format. I'll just go to the website. :/ thanks though.

There are a few websites that have 3gp short clip videos that I would like to watch, but it says cannot stream in that format. no streaming either? even from the site direct?

Yea, I have to download those files from the site as well.

For some reason there are several file types it won't let you download directly from the Gmail app, apk's being one of them. It only shows a "Preview" button.
