Hi all, I seem to have a strange problem - I cannot download files of some kinds, like .apk files. There is a message saying the type of file is not supported on my device. Do you know if I can download them anyway, bypassing this? Thank you in advance. (a friend of mine with the same firmware doesn't have that problem)
how are you trying to "download" those?
just copy and past from your computer to the USB when the phone is plugged in

no, i mean by the browser.
use the option to save as
you might need to install another browser like Skyfire for example or OperaMini
I have downloaded apk files using the stock browser, so that's shouldn't be an issue.

HELLLLPPPP!!! I have been in and out of my TMobile MDA trying to get flash player to work...I've tried downloading the flashplayer 7 cab file...and it won't dowload...just a bunch of symbols pops up on my pda screen. What to do? :shock: There has got to be SOMEONE out there that can save the day....
I'm gonna assume you're trying to download the cab from your MDA. I had the same problem. Download the cab to your pc and run the file after syncing your phone.
thnx for replying...it did finally dowload to my MDA via ActiveSync...but when I go to certain sites that require flash player (like vh1.com), then it still says that I need to download flashplayer (even though I have it on my phone)....So, i dunno' whats going on !!
double checked what the site actually says....It says "flash PlugIn required"
Give Opera a try. With it, when you open a cab file on the internet you can choose to save a page, and rename it as something.cab.
Now I've tried to load vh1.com in opera on my Wizard and I also got note on missing Flash plugin. When I clicked to get it, I was taken to a OSX (PowerPC) page
Also, installing Pocket Plus adds a new submenu to PIE..Save As..which can help you override the problem you had downloading .cab files from your Wiz.
yeah...i got directed to the same download site....download mac osX :? .....when you find out a way to get all the good stuff playing on your wiz...can u let us know?
Hi. I have few problems.
1. I don't know why I cant install any programs. I downloaded the programs and then moved to my phone storage sd, and then when I run setup file, it opens Opera Mobile, and then that's it, nothing happens. Any idea???
2. My SMS received time is always 4 hours behind. But sent time is correct. I've tried changing regional settings but no use.
3. Is there any way to change file views to Thumbnail view. I moved picture files to Storage SD, but files are not in Thumbnail view.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot.
2. i think it has something to do with syncing on your computer...do a search for further info

If you download .cab installer, you don't need to extract file from .cab with winrar!
Just copy .cab on your phone memory and launch installation on your phone (double click on the .cab file in the phone file explorer)

1. What are you installing? Whats the extension .exe or .cab? Im not aware of any .exe installing from PPC, yet.
2. Might sync time with pc using ms activesync to see if that solves problem...
3. No way to change that, again as that I know of. If you want to look at pictures, maybe try to get HTC Album. Just do search....

I could be on the wrong problem here, but is it giving you the message that that type of file is not compatible with the phone? or something like that?
if so, just use astro file manager (from the market) and go to menue >>more >>preferences >>enable browser downloader and check that.
thats what worked for me

Just go to market and download save mms by Andrew Schwimmer. That should hold you off for now.

explorer is crashing every time i transfer an mkv file. avi,jepg etc gets transferred fine. any one else having this issue?
update:i have found a fix (sort of) enabling usb debugging seem to do the job
How big is the file you want to transfer? If it's more then 4GB then you found the problem.

You can see it from screenshot 1,98 GB.
It's rather a Windows problem like I see it. Maybe faulty codecs..

it plays fine on my pc.
There is a USB mode setting, try to change it I don't remember the actual name anymore. (on the phone)
And if you change extension, then once it is copied change extension again. Does that work?

read my original post. i have a fix, just enable usb debugging mode.
If not have you tried the Kies Air? It's convenient for when I'm transferring to and from the uni computers and haven't got my usb.
I have tried multiple files and multiple site hosts from
http://www.multiupload.com/HOTXEM3GZC
Each time i end up with a zip that is only a few kb instead of over 100 mb but it does take the correct amount of time to download. Anyine else have this issue?
yep i have this problem too. using stock browser and also tried dolphin.
got exactly the same problem with mine hope someone has got a solution

Same with firefox
Is there a solution to this problem, I still can't download files (I.E. APK's or ZIP's) from any browser.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I tried "Download all files" and "ByteTornado Downloader" without any luck, even tried "Astro File Manager" and setting the box to have 'Enable browser downloads' enabled, even that didnt help, any advice would be fkin awesome
It appears that link is taking you to several throttled download sites. For Rapidshare, when you click download you start a very annoying download counter that does not actually give you a downlo0ad button until it counts down. It appears you are getting a download, but until you wait and the download button turns green, you did not.
For the help of it..I just downloaded the file no problem with FireFox..use stock browser to browse went to megaupload..copied url. And downloaded with FireFox..no problems.

ya, but if you leave firefox, the download stops!
I have this issue when I tried to download more than one file. The first one works fine but the second file will stop immediately after it start to download. Then it just wouldn't download properly even after the first file completed. Maybe is some multiple download bug?
