"download unsuccessful" - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Use Firefox or Opera Mobile. Its a problem with the site handling the download request

Site specific glitch

Can anyone else verify this glitch. The browser find on page feature for some odd reason always freezes and makes me force close the browser on some sites.

Since you say "some sites" give me an example and I'll check for ya, but I'm not going to go looking for random sites to see if I can confirm it or not.

Yes, I experience the same problem as you do on that site.

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.

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.

Help with getting flash to work....apk file

I searched the forum about getting Flash to work on the Nexus 10 and the thread said to go to the Nexus 7 forums and do it with the steps over there....which I think I did.
I downloaded three.apk fikes and put them on my tablet.....an Adobe Flash .apk file that ends in 152, a "Hulafied" .apk file, and a Adobe Air .apk file. I tapped the files individually and it appeared they installed properly....or at least they went through the motions of a proper install.
But when I go to some sites, I am still getting that lego looking icon which I assume are flash animations/movies.
Am I downloading the wrong files?
You just need the flash app and a browser that supports the flash plugin. You also need to enable plugin loading for that browser. Boat supports it as does the AOSP browser. Chrome does not.

I have the Boat Browser and when I look in my apps, I have the little Flash player icon. I'm still getting the little lego icon though on some sites.
You have to enable it in boat. Go to the settings in boat and then page content settings and enable flash. Exit and exit boat. Start it again and test your web page.

Do you have a link to the .apk file you use? Maybe I need to uninstall and try a different .apk file?

Constant Network Errors on the new Facebook app

For some reason the new Facebook app is giving me a Network Error message, even though the connection is fine. I have a S3, but it doesn't seem to be affected.
Here is a post I found about the issue:

I have had the same thing happen to me on my N4 and N7!! However, when I was getting the network error, I was using a verizon mifi hotspot. I tried uninstalling FB then re installed it, but it kept happening. However, when I took it home and was on tmobile's hspa+ network, I didn't really have any issue.

I'm on the GS2 and i'm having the same problem as well. Each new updates hasn't done a thing to fix this issue...

i have the same problem. the new facebook app (version 2.0) always says network error. galaxy note, ICS4
In the gs2 forums, we decided it was caused by ad blockers. Is everyone here using one? It seems like the problem is fixed for me though.

Just go to settings in AdWay > Your List > and uncheck graph.facebook.com
What worked for me was to log out of Facebook book, reboot, log in to Facebook. I haven't had a problem since with it.

Me too.
I had the same problem on my Defy & my S3. So I downloaded a app called FriendCaster. Works very well. I saw some other 3rd party apps too. Might help.

[OT] Why don't phone internet browsers work on XDA anymore??

I noticed about 4 months ago, Chrome on my S3 didn't like XDA.... So I used Firefox with no issues.
Then I had a LG Optimus G Pro (for about 1 week) with same results, so I used Firefox.
On my HTC One, neither Chrome or Firefox works on XDA, only the stock browser worked.
Now on my S4, I've tried all three and none of them work?
The page will load....... I can log in, but every time I scroll, the page reloads, which basically makes it unusable now...... Anybody else run into this problem?
Perhaps they are trying to get everyone to Tapatalk. It's a very good app.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 4
yup. Same issue here. I have about given up using my phone to browse XDA. I really dont want to buy an app just to browse an internet forum....
I found a free XDA app in the play store that'll work, you might give it a try?

I use the xda app its a really good app. I don't really like going on the site through mobile and having to make the page bigger it seems to be slower on webpages also.
