I setup some video downloads on my EVO3D and now I can't cancel them. The downloads are taking for ever and I don't know how many videos are left to download. So I'm looking for a way to cancel all of the video downloads. I have turned off the mobile network, but that just pauses the downloads. I have tried canceling them through the Download area, but that doesn't help.

So how do I cancel the videos being downloaded to my phone?

What app are you using? I am experiencing a similar problem with myPod.

I'm using an EVO3D. I still haven't figured out how to stop the downloading of videos as they are downloading; so I still need help with it. Everything that I have tried hasn't worked. The downloads just reset or restart after I try to stop them.

You have to specifiy what app you're using or we can't help you! Android Market, browser, etc.; what app are you using to download videos?

Im using the native web browser to download the videos, no apps. When I go to a web site with a video to view, I am asked to either steam it or download it. So when I pick Download, the videos all start downloading a few at a time until all of them have been downloaded. I have no way of canceling them until all of them are finished downloading.

Ok. Open the browser, tap menu, tap more/settings, tap downloads: when you see the videos that you're having problems downloading long press them then click delete or clear from list.

If that doesn't work, open you settings application, click applications, click manage apps (may be something similar, I haven't had an HTC phone in a while), click on the browser, then click force stop.

Try these and tell me what happens.

That won't work, as soon as the phone restarts it will continue the downloads.

Yeah that's what happens. There has to be a way to cancel downloads of anything, including videos on the EVO3D.

Hey that worked! The first suggestion, I haven't tried shutting the browser down yet. Thanks for your help!
