Downloads in browser

[sicario666]

I'm having trouble downloading files from the browser. I tried dolphin and all is OK. What's the deal with the stock browser?

What is the error? Do downloads fail to start, fail to complete, become corrupt, fail to open, disappear, etc? What type of files are you downloading? Can you approximate their size? Over what type of connection are they downloaded? (3G, 4G, Wi-Fi)

I haven't had any trouble with downloads in the native browser, but I encounter difficulty everyday with apk installation.

It says download unsuccessful. I'm on wifi. So ill try on 4g now. Good idea

Update, didn't work either.

I think I have had maybe 1 out of 20 downloads on the stock browser complete successfully. Dolphin works most of the time.

Some sites, like digitalblasphemy fail to download files with any browser.

That's really weak...what's the deal?

I remember reading in another thread on another forum of someone with the exact issue, not being able to download via the stock browser, and they fixed it by using the file app Astro File Manager. Seems there is an option in Astro's setting that enables downloads in the stock browser. I don't have Astro installed so I can't check this - just throwing it out as a possibility.

Good luck.

I just use Dolphin all the time, never had an issue.

I have the same problem. Most of the files I try fail to download.

Using dolphin now too. Just renamed the path download to months/SD/download-ext
