I am trying to download some files using megaupload and i can't seem to be able to do it!
The default browser just doesn't do it, firefox does it but only if i stay on firefox and wait(as in, i can't go to another app). Does anyone have a solution?

yeah use opera mobile or dolphin
Works fine in my stock browser. But since I use Opera Mobile, I have never had any problem using it to download off megaupload. Just make sure you stay on the tab while it counts down since it pauses it for some reason if you minimize the app or go to another tab.
Works fine for me on stock browser. Try changing the useragent to "Desktop"? Maybe

tried dolphin but the keyboard lag using predictive text was killing me. Hence why back room Google. How is Opera? Easy to set it to desktop mode?
In the stock browser use about:useragent in the address field and it will slow you to change to desktop mode.
It does not save this setting so u have to do it every time you restart the browser .

Ah so on the galaxy tab about:debug has been changed to about:useragent.
Thanks. That is good info.
Why is it that when I try to download a file from places like megaupload, it saves the file as a small ".htm" file or if I try to open the download link in a new tab it gives an error message saying something like "you can not access this page directly. Please use the website to download"? This happens with both the default browser and Dolphin browser.
hm yeah I had that EXACT same problem today when I tried downloading an /apk from a filesonic link and it downloaded an .htm
yep,thats the crappines of DOLHPIN and Built in Web.
I thought Dolhpin was a good browser until this,Opera Mobile is 100x better and you can actually download,browse fast and its WAAAY easier to read than Dolhpin;
Dolhpin has better DIsplay and is faster,but oPera is my main
Ok so I need to get Opera Mobile eh? Damn just when I was getting all my stuff integrated into Dolphin. Anyhow I will give it a try now. Thanks guys, this forum is the best!
***UPDATE***
Tested Opera Mobile, downloaded the item without any trouble. Unfortunately I cannot copy all my bookmarks from Dolphin or the default xperia play browser to Opera Mobile. That sucks.
Thanks for the advice dude....trying it right now.
Is there a way to completely clear that status bar at the bottom temporarily while surfing?
I use download buddy. Whenever I have had that issue I use download buddy and it works. Lets you save any downloaded file to anywhere on your phones SDcard.

Nope,but if you want,you can use Opera exclusivly for Downloading,and Dolhpin with Browsing.
I have both and use both equally
Opera mobile has more functions then mini.. Use mini when using 3g connections because it's optimized to use the fewest data.
While on wifi/downloading or watching streams, use the full version of opera mobile.

I'm also using Download All Files, but files still get saved as html in stock browser, have no clue why. I download through Firefox though, which works perfectly no matter what type of file i download.

Opera works fine if you download from sites where you don't have to wait a certain time, if i try to download from sharing sites where you have to wait 30 seconds or 1 minute untill you can start the download, the counter gets stuck and i can never get to the point where i can start downloading, so that's why i stick to Firefox for downloads.
on stock browser works ok with me

Almost all the free ac in RS, MU or FS have a timer set and with Opera I could download almost anything. Timer never got stuck for me.
I'll give a look at Download All files however. I hate moving to another browser just for downloading. The Stock browser should download all file formats, don't know why it doesn't !

True ,i was talking about Opera mini, i don't use Opera
For my work we use kinnser.com to track our patients info. We do receive efax and can attatch pdf into this online website. We can open these pdf from any computer. Calling kinnser support, they stated both Android and iOS cannot open the pdf from kinnser.com. I have tried on my rooted Evo running Mik 3.0, totally stock non-rooted Evo, Lenovo K1 tablet, and ASUS TF-101 to confirm this. When I click on the pdf attatchment, I would get the normal downloading started message. I would then click to view the progress of the download and it would stay at 0%. Would you know if there is something that is preventing me from opening the pdf from anything other than a PC? Thanks.
Not being able to download it is a different problem from not being able to open it. If you can't download it, perhaps they have a secure server or something. Are you trying to open from an email app or from a web browser?
Web browser
I currently have cm7 and as soon as I click a link in browser it automatically downloads the PDF. And is read with adobe reader app.
I cannot recreate this issue.

Since they told you the option want available on Android, I would assume that's specifically the website and that it wouldn't work. However you can try to set the user agent to desktop. I have been able to download files with Opera Mobile that wouldn't download with other browsers, perhaps you could try using the desktop ua with Opera and see if it works.
If not then I'd think you're sol without the website adding the ability.
Pure brilliant, that's it. I installed Opera and boom, I was able to open up the pdf in Kinnser. I guess the stock browser doesn't like to do it. Thanks everyone as always.

Glad you got it working. Opera Mobile has always been good about downloading files from sites that other browsers couldn't handle for whatever reason.

The other big reason I keep Opera installed as a backup browser is because of its support for "browse local device" on websites, a feature most android browsers shockingly lack.

Don't know about that site but you can try Yahoo.com and see how it works.
Yahoo does have options to view as mobile or desktop
Are you using one of the Dolphin plugs to switch between desktop/mobile? They seem to work well for me. That said, an individual site could try to detect your system type in a variety of ways. Also, if it is a flash-based site, then it will be able to look at your libflashplayer.so. You can get get a "massaged" flash library that will identify as a desktop.

I tried the nickjr website with dolphin hd and for me it opens in desktop mode. Make sure your Agent is set to desktop. Press the menu button when you are in dolphin the go to more then setting. There under dolphin settings look for agent and change it to desktop
