Has anyone tried to download large files, like 700mb?
I try and download items from RapidShare, but all that happens is it just looks like its trying to initialize the download in the notification bar. No progress whatsoever.
I'm using dolphin browser HD.

In my quest for a good "local" (non-internet) html file viewer, I've installed and uninstalled about 6 different browsers on my 8125 and somewhere in that process PIE has become somewhat brain dead. Even though I've associated .htm, .html and .gif files with \windows\iexplore.exe, when I click on a .htm or .html files they open to a blank File Explorer (fexplore.exe) screen. And when I try to open a .gif file it brings up PIE, but to a blank screen. In both situations the programs are certainly there becuase I see the Top Bar and the menus, but nothing displays. And I don't want File Explorer to load my .htm files. I checked the registry and it even shows iexplore.exe as the associated app for .htm and .html files. I'd rather not hard reset my device, and so barring that does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
That's how mine behaves sometimes with other programs when its ready for a soft reboot--did you try that?
I did try a soft reboot. In fact the problem has persisted over several days and many soft reboots. But thanks for the suggestion.
I bit the bullet and did a hard reset. Cured the problem, whatever it was. Makes me hesitant to do as little as install an addon to PIE, such as PIEPlus.
I have searched, and searched, and searched. Is it possible to change the wallpaper on Android on HD2? I'm using darkstones froyo most recent, and the 7/23 zimg. Everytime i search it always comes up with the obvious, press and hold home, tap wallpapers, etc... but i've copied pictures to my phone, put it in every folder and they never show up. Even when i use a file manager to find my pictures, they show up, but when i tap them. it's just a black screen. Is this one of the bugs/kinks? If so i'd like to know so i can stop fiddling with it...they are .jpg
Thanks in advance
(now watch, someone is gonna search and get it first result)
when the wallpaper app cant find the pictures I want to use I apply them using astro file manager.
If your transferring pictures while in Android' they wont work - while USB mode appears to be working i don't think it can write data to your card correctly so effectively your getting corrupt images.
If you transfer them in Windows before booting into Android you'll have more luck.
Also there's a decent Wallpaper app on the market called Zedge which allows you to download and apply wallpaper direct from the app - highly reccomended.
I got it. Close the thread.
Apparently, all the pictures i uploaded, all transfered over, but they all showed up as 0 bytes, deleted, re-uploaded. Worked. Sorry for the waste of space, shoulda caught it before.
Edit, actually before I go, does anyone know the resolution? 600x800? :x
The best resolution is 960x800

For some reason every time I click onto my internet browsers on my HTC it just shows the loading screen and then closes, has anyoe had this problem or can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Had the same Problem:
-> Update your Browser
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862062
Except from updating your browser, your browser files may be corrupted. I had once this issue when I accidentally deleted opera9 folder from my windows folder. It would show the HTC logo, but nothing else. Finally, I installed Opera Mobile 10, which lacks pinch-to-zoom feature.

so far it hangs my honeycomb xoom browser and FCs my nexus s
it fcs the evo shift too
yup
looks like you try to visit a url that points to a file without an extension regardless of content it fcs the browser if the size of the filer is > then available memory
I'm confused. All that page does is download a blank document called "FC"
did you try on your nexus?
I wouldn't say this is a bug... this can happen in any sort of enviroment... trying to fit/store more than your capacity of your devices ( ram, vram, SD )... ofcourse it will crash. it's why we have swap to reduce this from happening ( not a big fan of swap anyway )
would be nice if it had it's own internal cut-off and shows you and error or even better... stream the bits to your SD before showing you the error...
yeah thinking about now... would be good it stream them to your sd when it reaches to a certain point of usage internally
well it doesnt crash the iphone
and yes i know that my pc has swap, but i tried the same in firefox in linux with a file larger than memory and it didnt crash firefox or even consume any swap, firefox just tried to download the file and display it.
windows always swaps, but the same test does not crash IE or ff on windows either.
this is a bug.

you can always long press on that link, press save link, then download that file to your phone(btw, 97.66mb sized file) that doesnt make the browser fc. but simply pressing on the link does. its the same behavior on my nexus s and nexus one.
this is true.
on my xoom it doesnt crash it, but the browser goes to 50% cpu and 200mb of RSS and ~600mb of VSZ memory used.
After updating my tablet to 3.1 OTA, the program Photo Browser 3D does not work anymore. Immediately after update or a factory restore, the program will work fine, but after adding all my photos to the tablet, the program will force close at EVERY start. Basically, it doesnt work at all now.
I have tried factory resetting 5 times now and the same problem happens every time!
Someone on a different forum recommended clearing the cache too, but the option is greyed out under Applications and it says that the cache is 0kb.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I was thinking that something was wrong with the apk, but I cant tell. I was thinking that I either need to reinstall the program using a new apk or that I need to flash the tablet with a fresh copy of 3.1. The firstoption would be easiest, but I cant find a copy of the apk. The second option I am scared to do. I dont know how to do it and I dont know which versions to get (I want to be sure I get one that works in the USA and that it isnt hacked, tweaked, or just a 3.0 version madeto look like 3.1).
If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.
Acer Iconia A500 (rooted, but I didnt tamper with system files or apks)
Photo Browser 3D 1.0.00.027
Android 3.1 build 4.010.08_COM_GEN2
Android 3.1 kernel 2.6.36.3
After posting my last message here, my tablet told me I had an update available. UBFORTUNATELY, the stupid problem still exists. The only reason I am typing this folowup message is because the Android build changed.
NEW build: 4.010.10_COM_GEN2
NEW kernel: 2.6.36.3
Same Problem
I have the same problem with 3D Photo Browser.
I use Virtuous_Picasso_v.1.1.0.
Hey spexwood,
here you can give a try.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23326686/3DPhotoBrowser.apk
I tried the Photo Browser 3d above and I still have the same problem. Any got it to work?
I'm running the stock 3.1 and have no problem using it?
I got the app from the market if that helps.
3Dbrowser force close fixed.
Hi all,
I also had the force close problem with 3Dbrowser.apk. Clearing cache for the app did not work. Reinstalling the app by clicking the icon in the system app folder did not work.
Initially I froze the app, but then I tried the following and it worked:
1) download the full OTA package of the ROM version you're running
2) extract 3Dbrowser.apk
3) using root explorer, rename the original 3Dbrowser.apk in the system app folder to 3Dbrowser.bak or move it to the SD card.
4) copy paste the new apk into that folder.
5) change permissions to match the original permissions
6) reboot.
The original apk was 1,92Mb, the one I replaced was 1,93Mb.
I have about 5 folders with pictures (DCIM, Documents, Downloads, ...) they all work and the app is actually quite nice to show off the Iconia's capabilities.
Hope this helps.

After a LOT of experimenting and having thisprogram switch between working wonderfully and force closing upon launch, I have come to the conclusion that it is the pictures themselves!
So, the first thing you need to do is to check that none of your pictures (and/or movies) are not corrupted. I found that the best way to do this is to open the Gallery app and browse through all your files. Youcan use the view in which multiple files are displayed as thumbnails (as opposed to a single full sized picture view). If a file is corrupted, then it will not generate a thumbnail for it. Instead, the thumbnail will remain black and when you tap on it, a full size image will not appear. Instead, a message about the image not being able to be shown will be there.
If you find something corrupted, then delete it via the Gallery and try the 3d Browser again.
The second thing I noticed as of 5 minutes ago:
After a long time of no problems, the 3d Browser decided to stop working today, so I did what I just explained about searching for corrupted images... to my surprise, all of myimages were fine.
I once again opened the Gallery app and noticed something odd, but the only way I can explain it is through an example:
So, lets say you only have 3 folders of images: A, B, and DCIM. In Gallery, you will see these folders listed in a 3D-like affect. They will appear with the folder name under the thumbnail(s) followed by the number of pictures in parenthesis (such as "A (10)").
Of all the folder thumbnails, you will see one that contains no name, but only a number within parenthesis. When I entered this album, I noticed some odd stuff. First, it contained a mix of black-only thumbnails (corrupted files) and images I recognized from my collection. Second, if you look at the details of ANY of the files in this gallery, they have no location, no height, and no width. Hesitantly, I decided to delete everything from this gallery (held my finger over the folder in Gallery and once it highlighted green, I tapped the trashcan icon). It didn't affect any of my pictures and the 3d Browser began working immediately!
I guess this collection was some sort of thumbnail collection or something. For whatever reason, it just accumulates waste over time and if an image no longer exists on the tablet, then the thumbnail appears as a corrupted file, which freaks the 3d Browser out.
I'm sorry if all that was a lot to read and absorb, but I think that doing one of these two things is the solution to this annoying issue.

Hmm... that's basically what I did isnt it?
OK, so someone found a solution then. Awesome!
Too bad I didnt know before wasting months trying to figure this issue out =_=
I thought it was the apk, but after replacing it from several sources, it fixed nothing. Then, I installed a custom rom, which also didnt fix it. It wasnt until last night that I FINALLY got it working right.
Oh well. Problem solved XD
Thanks
