Download failed for PDF's in stock browser

[Daltonan]

I was having the same issue. I am a website administrator and I was not able to download pdf documents that are in a pass worded section of the website. I was able to do this until I switched in January from an HTC Evo to the LG Optimus G. I just downloaded a different browser and I can access the documents I need. I also belong to a yahoo group and was able to send and reply to emails till recently. I just downloaded the Yahoo mail app rather than use the stock app in my phone and I'm able to send and reply once again. I guess the stock items that come with these phones aren't always the greatest. I'm so glad I found this article.

Yes this works, but I would like to use Chrome

try unchecking Show warnings if there is a security issue. under the browser's setting>security>uncheck


worth a try. it fixed some issues i was having with login on a site.

There is a security issue but I can't find these settings at all. Using an Alcatel OneTouch 7040T, latest android software.

FIX

Settings > Apps > "All" tab > Download Manager

Click "Force Stop", then click "Clear Cache", then click "Clear Data". Try the download again.

Didn't work.

I am having this problem on a samsung galaxy tab s2. If I single press, I just get a white notification banner with a "download failed" message that I can barely read. I have no problem opening these on my Motorola moto X. I've cleared cache on Chrome, and the download manager. I know this worked at one time but I don't know why it doesn't work anymore.
