I'm using h2os, latest update on my oneplus x e1001. I googled and it seems like there should be some app named "Downloads" or so, i just dont have it, neither do i have any options in chrome regarding downloads at all. Hope you can help me out.
It's there, but hidden from the app drawer. Whenever you download something from the net, the "downloading xxx" appears in the pull down status bar notifications. One click on it and the download app will open....
Dead Cookies leave no trails...
I just tried to download something, but clicking on the notification will just open it. As for pressing it would pop up some notification related thing.
Get a file manager, you'll find your files under downloads in the internal storage.
I have the default one but i moved some files and cant remember where. Thought there is such thing as a download manager just like in chrome on pc. Im a little dissapointed

Since yesterday when i select the youtube app it loads up and closed down straight away.
The only think that i'd imagin causing that is maybe a missing file but ive not deleted anything, and theres no errors giving me any idea where to look.
It wont open from the start menu, my home page or even from its location.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:- Its magically fixed itself. ;-p
Has anyone had any luck getting the Pulse app to work on the rooted NST? I used to be able to search + download it from the Market, but now its not visible at all!
I sideloaded it, and it will update just fine in the Market, but in the Market when I click "open" it will say "the specifed link cannot be found".
In older versions of the app, I could at least see the main screen, tap on articles to read them... just couldn't scroll through the list. Now it will load with the Pulse loading screen, and nothing more. Silence on the end of the Pulse folks.
Anyone have either an APK of the original version from it was first released, or know how to tinker with compatible device settings in APK files?
Can not download or save images through chrome. If I long press and click save image its like i pressed nothing at all and the downloads folder is empty. Is their a setting I'm missing? I've tried uninstalling updates and reinstalling.
This isn't an only an Angler issue, this is just how they've changed the Google search app, unfortunately, and it's upsetting.
Does that mean I need a new browser?

sometimes is depend on web page that not allow to access files however browsers show dl option
test with another browser on same web page.
if it works so switch to firefox
(I always use both chrome and firefox on all my devices)
Figured it out. Permissions weren't set.
So,
Yesterday I got this banner ad towards the bottom of the screen. It has an "opt out" tab at the bottom right. You click on this and it loads a web page that prompts you to install an app, use it then delete the app. Obviously didn't download the app.
Anyone else having this? Here's a pic.
This will be coming from an app you have installed. Check the apps you recently installed, it will be one of them.
Yeah, problem is I've been quite busy installing lately!
I've installed adguard and I think it may have worked. Ad popped up, but not filled in, then disappeared.
Score!
Try installing AirPush Detector. This can uually detect which apps are pushing out ads.
Well, airpush stops halfway through. Sent a report log to the developer. Maybe they can figure out.
Try Addons Detector. This also helps to find apps that are pushing ads.
Just press scan. After the scan, select 'Addons' and choose "Push Notifications" from the drop down (though I believe it is selected by dault)
Thank you. I've never had this problem, so I've never looked into these types of apps.
solved on my wife's samsung galaxy A5 2016
i clicked on one of the ads and a web page for the advertiser opened in a built-in in-app browser. i then pressed the application switcher button and it showed that the page had opened in an app called file manager.
i uninstalled file manager and then wiped application cache (turn phone off; then turn on by holding in power button + home button + volume up, when phone vibrates release power key but keep volume up and home key depressed).
note that adds ons detector nor airpush detector yielded positive results.
note that my wife is fairly (she says 99% sure) she did not install the file manager app - it most likely updated (theory). we both suspect the app came pre-installed on the phone. i was using the file manager app to browse her files and it seemed fairly legit as an app - it worked as one expects a file manager app to work.
note her phone is not rooted.
solved

I had the same problem...... tried everything but didn't get any results. I uninstalled "Bluetooth app sender" and everything was back to normal. No more floating ads.
When i am downloading, say a ROM, i cannot stop the download.
On my last phone, the Xperia Z2 there was a download manager app where you could cancel downloads.
But on this one its just plain impossible...
Anybody have a solution?
Have you tried holding your finger on the download for a couple of seconds to see if a menu pops up. If so, you might be able to cancel it from there.
it seems the default download manager doesnt have gui, i could not stop a download too and could not find the service to kill.
just dont use the default browser to download, use opera or uc browser as they have their own download managers, or install a dedicated DM, there are good free ones that can resume and all sorts, but they use up data by having ads.
Delete the downloading file from My File. Hold the file and click on the delete button right away when you see it
Doesn't work.

I found a solution a while ago, but it takes some steps and can get annoying if you download often. But I haven't found any other way (except for third party downloaders, of course):
- Tap and hold the download progress notification
- Then the notification settings screen for the Download Manager app comes up. Tap on the "i" on the top right
- Choose storage and then clear the app's data. Then the download is killed completely. I haven't experienced any disadvantages from clearing this app's data.
Don't forget to delete the file manually after that in /sdcard/download/ if it's big because the part that has been downloaded until killing will still take up space.
This is a MAJOR annoyance of mine... Though on the Z2 on MM I had the same. Was it phased out on MM? sure it was on LP.

Restarting the phone kills the download. A pita but it works
U have to go to setting app and force close the downloads and wipe cache it's a major downside of the Samsung browser and it's sad they've never fixed it
