My tablet wont download ANYTHING through ANY browser - Acer Iconia A500

Despite what the subject says, I must say I AM able to download a file from any link you could think of. Except when I do, the download will start regularly and almost immediately say finished with the file being only a few kilobytes. This goes for every file type. When browsing the market and downloading apps though, no problem at all. Any ideas?

I have the same issue with my tablet too with all the browsers except firefox.
So I suggest you to try the same solution.

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.

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

Well that's helped on the browser thanks, but the app I reinstalled and still FC every time.

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

XDA Rendering

Is it just me or has the page rendering on XDA gone bonkers when viewing from the Tablet?
I changed over to the rather ugly XDA Classic theme that fixes the rendering issue but what's the deal with page rendering on the XDA 2010 theme when viewing from the Tab?
Did something change in the css as I am getting this issue on ALL custom ROMS..
+1... they break something after "maintenance "
Man, am I glad I saw this thread. Thought I was going nuts!
Yeah thanks for starting the thread. I was just about to spend who knows how much time trying to figure out which app was killing all my memory.
It's being 2 days now and the bug in XDA web is still there... it makes hard to read site on a tablets (I've tried Dolphin HD and standard Android browser).

Why not just use the XDA HD app frm the Market for your XDA needs instead of viewing directly from the Browser?

I think you quoted the wrong person. Of course that's what I do, but trying it for the others having problems using the browsers and everything is fine. No issues like they're having in both browsers they mentioned and a couple others everything is fine...
I don't like xda app and yes they fixed CSS... so all good now.

Chrome out of Beta and working

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Chrome now works with the 120 DPI setting, and I must say it is a really nice browser, will definitely switch from the stock one.
Do you think they will drop the stock browser for Chrome? I think they might on Jelly Bean.
Also, I had it before on my fire but it takes so much space 60 megs of internal storage. So I uninstalled it. Also NO FLASH.

Same thing here. I posted a logcat over in the Gederom dev thread but I'm not sure it's a ROM issue. Sounds more widespread.
I have noticed major memory leaks with Chrome... not on my KF, but on my unrooted galaxy note get n7000. After a couple hours in the background, it takes over the system

ICS Browser + is way better

Count me also. Hope we get a fix but will go back to Firefox or Dolphin in the meantime. Disappointed in the stock browser as it always seems hesitant/slow for me - I'd love to use it.
Anyone solve this yet?
Me too
Crashes for me too when I try to go into settings. Running Energy ROM on rooted KF
Might give firefox a try

I used to have the same problem when using the 120 DPI setting with the beta version of chrome, if switched back to 160 it would work just fine. Finally this out-of-beta version works fine with 120 DPI.
Not sure what might be different, I tried multiple options but nothing worked until now.
Dolphin seems to have more features than Chrome. Chrome keeps cropping out when I was use it.

Browser Hang

I dont know why but what ever browser i use it eventually gets to the point where the browser just hangs not crash, it just wont load links i click on or refresh the page its almost like if the internet connection has gone, it is definatley not a connection issue as my pc, laptop and ps3 have no issues. Its getting really annoying now, i have used various roms from aokp, asus hydro, i am currently using aokp build 40. I have used every browser, stock, chrome maxthon, dolhin hd, xscope, it doesnt seem to do it on firefox beta but its horrible and until the firefox team try and make it even slighty resemble the desktop version im not using it.
Anyone had this issue?
