I have a problem, when I hit the download icon (all apps) on my nexus 7, it is always empty.
I check in my download folder and there is 9 files for 66 meg.
I check with parameter, storage, and I have 66 meg, when I hit the storage, its open download, and still empty????
What is the problem?
To solve the problem I create an shortcut with es explorer to the folder download, but I would like that my download (original) icon to work.
Help, is this a bug, or I am the only one?
My nexus is in French, (telechargement) but I try in English and it is the same problem (download)
Where is this setting for the download?
Are you going to Settings > Apps > Downloaded, and seeing nothing listed there? I have 52 apps listed there. If you go to the 'All' tab, do you see all your apps including the ones you downloaded or installed from the Play market?
I believe hes going to the Apps list form the home screen and licking on the Download app that in theory wold show any items he has downloaded in his browser.

Yes this is it.
And in parameter, storage, there is 66 mg, in download, but when I hit download, the open window tell me there is nothing.
I am not able to see my download made with my browser.
Also, I try loaderdroid and I can see only folders. I have in download folder apk, pdf, files that I cannot see except with es explorer.
I try loaderandroid, and it is the same, files are not visible in the download folder.
This is going crazy.
I try to change download folder in loaderandroid, and I can see only folders, no content, no files, in any folder!!!!!
I have es explorer, and root browser lite, with these I am able to see files in folder!!!!! with any extension.
What is the problem??????
I just remove es explorer, and root browser lite, thinking that there was maybe a conflict. No luck, without those apps I am not able to see my download......
HELP
Ok now I can confirm that my Downloads icon in All apps screen is not working.
I have apk, pdf, .rar in the /sdcard/download/ folder, and I am not able to see them with the Downloads icon in All apps.
Only way to see them is with es explorer or root browser lite.
Is there a way to reinstall this Download manager apps????
Same problem with loaderandroid. (also not able to see any files, only folders)
How are you loading the files on? Perhaps you are putting them in another downloads folder?

No they are in the good folder. Problem is look like the files are hide for any download manager.
Like I said, no problem with es explorer or root browser lite
I try removing es explorer and rootbrowser lite, and Avast, and still not able to see file in Downloads apps, and Loaderandroid.
But I need to access those files, and without a file managers like es explorer, there is no way to access them except with Downloads from all apps screen, that in my case do not work......
The downloads app isn't meant to show the contents of your downloads folder. It only shows the files you download from your browser.
I'm not sure if it gets cleared automatically at any point, never tested it.
Its the same thing as the downloads tab in chrome on a desktop PC.

Ok with which apps you can see your files already downloaded from your browser? I use firefox, dolphin, and chrome, and I cannot see the files, except with es explorer, an add-on apps. Same problems with loaderandroid a download manager.

Chrome downloads appear in there for me. Haven't used other browsers.
I use es file explorer anyway coz I don't leave stuff in my download folder.

Trying to map my downloads via Dolphin browser to the native 'downloads' app location.
Anyone know the filepath?
/sdcard/downloads/ lol

Are you sure?
I'm sure I've downloaded before, yet launching native download app has drawn a blank.

thats defo the default download location, i just copied a load of gameloft .apk's from there to my usb hard drive
I think it depended on the Dolphin version used. I remember Dolphin and Dolphin HD tended to go to the "downloads" directory, but Dolphin Mini's download directory was inside the data folder of Dolphin Mini. It was a bit of a PITA when you flashed with CWM and you didn't remember where you had downloaded your ROM...
I'm talking about the native 'downloads' app in the app drawer.
It's showing blank.
I've put files in the 'download' folder & also created a folder called 'downloads' & put some files in but still no dice.
I need to know the filepath to the native 'downloads app' in the app drawer so I can set Dolphin to assign downloads to that file.
You with me here?
So, I downloaded a file with the stock browser and the file did indeed go to sdcard/download.
File shows in app drawer 'downloads' app.
Downloaded another file with Dolphin, downloads mapped to go to sdcard/download.
File not in app drawer 'downloads' app.
Looks like the native downloads app only works with files recognised as downloaded with the stock browser.
i was wondering if anyone got the original browser installed, i dont like chrome, the other one was so much smoother
also does anyone have an APK of flash to work on 4.2?
Most ROMs come with the stock browser.

Which file explorer are you using? I can't seem to find one that will let me rename, or change permissions. Thanks!

Es file explorer (free) or root explorer (paid) have the ability to do this.

Is the ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk supposed to sync my bookmarks? I placed it into the system folder, and renamed the two apps in there already, rebooted and the Browser showed up, and works just fine, but I don't see any option to sync my browser. I went into Settings - Add Account, but only my apps (like facebook, and google) are shown, not the browser. Any ideas on how to get that working?

You have to go to Settings, Google, click on your gmail. Browser should show up there, and you can put a checkmark beside it to enable syncing,

Hi, I have a stock S4 LTE running 4.3
Im having a frustrating problem where when I download large jpgs (13mb or so), I can open them from download manager (which loads the gallery app) but the files dont appear in the gallery itself, nor in root explorer or es file explorer etc. I can see other downloads in there, just seems to be the large jpgs (at least all I noticed is missing).
Searching online seems to always get a response of clearing the gallery/download cache and rebooting, but it doesnt seem to work for me. I even wondered if it was a Knox thing, but I dont think so (?).
Any help appreciated! Its not that I desperately need the files, more that I have no way of deleting and im sure they are eating space.

Go to Store, install Ghost Commander (most likely some other explorers can do the job, but I don't know them).
then, go to the root of the internal sdcard, press the menu button -> location -> search, input *.jpg. Optional, you can set the "bigger than" parameter or the "after, before| values. Repeat for *.jpeg pattern. If nothing will show up, use the asterisks as *.* and bigger than value as 12MB, smaller than SOMETHING.
If nothing will be found - repeat for the external SD.
Thanks!! Feel a bit stupid actually. The app had its own folder called 'download' so the files were hiding there, not in the root download.
Thanks again

There's a downloads app (system app) yet it doesn't seem to show up as an icon, with the Google Nexus and Huawei Mate 20 Pro, I could access this app and see files that have been downloaded.
In the download folder it's empty. Yet if I go to attach a file in gmail there are files in the download folder.
Both Google Photos and Gallery don't show the images stored in this folder either. There's also no files in Google chrome downloads.
So how do you clean out what's in there if you can't access it.

You are correct. Weird as that's been part of android for some time. Lucky solid Explorer for me. Though weird nonetheless. Maybe we can create a shortcut for it through Nova
I did and once created when I tap on it I get permission denied. Methinks Samsung wants us to use their file manager
Yes it's weird, You're rigt solid explorer seems to work. I'll just use this as my default file manager, solid can connect to my computer too which is a bonus.
Hello all,
I think i stumbled onto something and want to tell others as it took a while for me to figure it out.
What you need:
ES FILE EXPLORER (from amazon app store, share it with the free time profile)
APP YOU WANT TO SIDELOAD INSTALLED TO PRIMARY PROFILE
GOTOAPP (from amazon app store, share it with the child profile)
Make sure the ES File Explore app is shared to the child profile. And that the app you want to load in freetime mode is installed on the primary profile.
Then go to the child profile, open ES File Explorer.
Click the Apps icon from the homepage, click on the app you want to sideload and then click view app content.
Select all the items and copy them to a new folder in your Downloads folder.
Then select all items inside that folder and zip the files to a .zip file.
After doing so rename the file and change .zip to .apk. Then open the GoToApp and open the docs app from it then select the apk file and enable unknown sources installation and install.
You now have it installed on the freetime profile and can use the GoToApp to load it.

Apps on the parent profile do not show when using ES on the child's profile?? When I open ES on the parent profile the app I want to sideload is there, but go to child's and it isn't. I'm using an HD 10. Thoughts?
