Downloads sometimes in both the default browser and in Dolphin Browser do not work for me as well. It's fairly frequent. Seems strange to me it's in both browsers, hints at a OS issue.
Personally, I think the browser is nice but extremely buggy. not ready for prime time, really.
Outside of DL on my phone or PC and transferring, I have not found a workaround on the tablet itself.

Xda app

Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?

this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine

i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?

I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.

Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.

I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.

i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.

It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

I always got the FC when closing too

This mirrors my experience as well. Zero FCs since day one but do see the scrolling issues.

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.

Just get tapatalk pro. It works on wifi only, just get some weird text drag when scrolling long posts. Plus you can access any other native forum you like. I have the xda prem app on my hd2 to support xda and tapatalk on my xoom

What's wrong with xda app

I know it was mentioned that xda app crashes on the iconia tab but this goes further. I can't access xda web site with browser too (can't find disable java ) and from my phone (epic) I don't see Q posts click-able underneath general post line like on pc, so from my tab can't access xda all.

Does it give any error messages?

FC only on the app and on web just shuts down, like I mentioned on my phone no Q&A line underneath general treads.

I have had the web close like that on me before, but never consistently for a single site, and never on XDA :/ try this:
Settings> applications> manage applications> all> browser> clear data. No guarantees, but maybe it will fix it.

I think he's talking about xda app. It's a known issue on the free app.
**My mistake I just re-read the the question... no idea why the browser would be crashing for you on xda. Dolphin, Opera and OEM all work for me.

he gave no specifics in his original post, ie: which version of HC, what build, etc. No way to help him based on a question without pertinent info.

He said the browser was screwing up too, so I figured I would give a shot in the dark lol

Just give up on the app :/ its broken. Force closing IS operating correctly for that app! As far as I'm concerned, if the browser works, this threads a success just read my signature

Yes browser works now, don't know why was crashing in beginning

Market search engine behaving very strange

Ok so for example, when I entered twitter, it didn't find the twitter app. Only till I entered "tweet". And it almost always shows the app Lookout security & Antivirus, as like the 5th search result. And some other apps, like Nimbuzz, Quickoffice Pro will almost always show up. This happened since I flashed my phone back to the T-Mobile (I had debranded) firmware and then upgraded to 2.3.5.

Maybe covered in here too:

I think that is something else

Not sure if this is the same issue and apologies if I've missed another thread on this. I lost both books and movies from market a few days ago. Also searches only show a very small selection of apps but says there's thousands available. Wonder if anyone else has noticed this?

I think you guys accidentally set the app filtering to high. Remove the filter. Happened to me before.
Just uncheck all then apply and recheck all and apply.

Depends on the CSC code.

Everybody got the same following bug?
If some app page in market loads through 3G and you switching to WiFi while loading - it won't load until force restart market app.

I have got the same thing.. I cannot find anything properly. Its like the search engine is fubar.

When I search "stargate ", it says there are 107 results, yet only about 10 are in the list. I'm finding this problem with every search I do, yet my filter is set to show all apps. Maybe if someone who has cm7/miui could see it it happens to them, we could then deduce whether it is Samsung firmware to blame, or just an android market issue.

There is also another issue where in sometimes when u search an app with full name the market will keep on loading with the grey screen and does not go past it. However if part of the name is searched the results come instantly.

We can rule this out if no one is having as now I feel its because of network issue from my end.

Latest market update seems to have fixed most of the issues I posted earlier. Hopefully this version will be more stable.

"download unsuccessful"

It seems as tho my Nexus7 has an unusually high amount of downloads give me the "download unsuccessful" message than any other device I've ever used. I am on PA rom, tho it happens on all i've used, and whether downloading from a site from CHROME or the CM browser I get the same results. I've tried the "enable browser downloads" option in Astro file manager with little or no success. Is anyone else haveing similar issues? It happens on while tethered to my phone or at home on wifi. The download status in notifications will go all the way to 100% before giving me the message. This is really annoying! Any thoughts on what is going on would be greatly appreciated.

If you close the browser in task switcher it stops.
