I updated to N P4 and now I can't download any files from chrome. I can download using firefox but I get "download unsuccessful" with chrome and chrome dev.
Any suggestions?

Maybe check the permissions again and make sure that chrome has storage access. It may have been reset. That has happened to me when I've updated before.

Don't have troubles downloading apps from market or staying synced but for some reason it doesn't like downloading through the browser. Says unsuccessful download, file format incompatible with your device, anyone else have this?
Or know of how to fix? Not sure if its sd card issue or what.

Download astro file manager from the market, and there is a setting in it to fix that. Though read the warning about reading PDF's in Gmail.
I used to have Astro manager but had uninstalled it because I preferred another one but I reinstalled it and didn't change any settings and now it works, thanks!
I did see the option of using the downloader inside Astro and the warning to shut it off when opening attachments from gmail, never noticed that before.
But nice catch and thanks again.
Try a different browser. I have to use Dolphin to get some things to download correctly. Hope this helps.

Downloads are always unsuccesful on first try. whenever I want to download something from the browser I just click download like 10 times and see if I get lucky and one of them successful. This had never happened to me on with the market and I have tried all browsers like mirren, dolphine, stock, and opera with same results.
I also am on stock and not rooted (im scared to brick my phone)

From the market download astro file manager. Go into preferences and check enable browser downloader and see if that helps.

This don't happen with me that way...
I mean, sometimes my Nexus S just download the full apk and then when its time to install it just jump this step, making the program just downloaded and not installed...
That still didn't work!
I'm so frustrated right now : (

I've started noticing this as well.
As an example I'll go to download an APK (or whatever...) from this forum while logged in on my Nexus S....click the download link, get the "Download unsuccessful" notification. No matter how many times I try to download it just doesn't work.
It's kind of annoying.
As a workaround, I have found that Firefox is able to download stuff to the phone - but it's kind of a pain to load up that monstrosity just to browse and download.
guys, do this to fix the download unsuccessfull issue, you need to use titanium backup to fix...
open titanium, press backup restore, find download manager and downloads. press on it then press wipe data. do this for both. reboot after, and try to download something.
your holding it wrong. j/k
I get this too....wipe old corrupted files then download ...
or download with wifi if it doesn't work then try 3G.
The fix is to goto settings -> applications -> manage applications -> Download Manager -> Clear data
Also trying clearing data in the download app as well.
I am Unable to download anything using Dolphin/Stock browsers. When i click on download it saves html file. What shld i do to rectify the problem?
Same problem here, still looking for an answer.
I never had this problem. In fact, the file that i download using stock browser shows up under the downloads app. What type of file are you downloading?

If it helps, I'm not having this problem at all with Dolphin HD or the stock browser. Let me know if you want to compare stuff (settings, configs, apps, etc.)...?
I haven't tried this on the Acer, but I had the same problem with my Droid x at first.
Go to the market and download "Download All Files". On the Droid, this is a browser addon for stock. Try to install it, launch it, then try the browser again. You might have to kill the process first aafter installing it.
I'm going to test it now for myself.
Download problems
Do you have 'Unknown Sources' checked in Settings-Applications? If not, you won't be able to do it.

I had the same problems, since then for downloads I am using Opera Mini and for normal browsing Dolphin HD.
My 501 isn't downloading completely from any download site such as wupload, file serve,n filesonic, etc. It downloads a various amount of KBs and says it was its complete. Anyone know why this happens?
Tablet is running stock 3.01 and rooted
Try the other browser?

never had any success with file sharing website except hotfile,megaupload using firefox works sometime but hit or miss
Im coming from a nexus s running CM, and on that i was able to download any file on the net direct to the phone.
On my note, i have been trying to do the same thing, however, moments after the download starts, it fails and i get an error message saying that the type of file is not compatible with my device.
The files ive been trying to download are the plugins (such as nVidia) for chainfire 3d... It also happened yesterday when i was trying to download some custom boot animations.
This means i have to wait till i get home, download to my pc then transfer them.
is it because im on the stock rom, and future custom roms will fix this? Or is there something i can change that will sort this?
I am rooted.
Are you using the stock browser?
If so, why not try a different browser, give Opera browser a go and see if you have any more download problems.

That sorts it, thanks.
I do like the stock browser, but its very strange why it wont let you download.
Opera looks nice, ill give it a run
Dolphin browser is another good one.
