Downloading .zip's a PROBLEM - Captivate General

This is my third Android phone, but the first with this problem. Zip files only download like 64kb,and not the whole zip.When I download a metamorph theme for example on my phone it will say the theme is invalid. But if I download that same file om my comp and copy to my sd card, itll work......my captivate wont download the full zip. Please help

I have the same issue, haven't seen it resolved.

Blah. This is something so simple I was able to do on my nexus and droid 1. Pretty sad the Cappy cant

Is this on just the default browser or on opera and dolphin too?

I tried dolphin and same....

Does it do this with other types of downloads?

I read somewhere that certain file types like zip and rar isn't associated with any program and the download will fail. Download Crutch Lite app allows you to download the file by allowing you to associate it to a program. Not sure though.

Tried it and still doesnt work......

I've downloaded small ROMs that are zip files and they work fine. I've tried large zip files and they don't work.

using opera mini or any browser other than default

I have a treo 750 unlocked. (originally cingular but I'm with Tmobile - not sure if that matters) Tmobile tech guy recommended opera mini when I told him i was having trouble browsing some sites...
If I understand correctly i need a few things in order to download it.
I tried getting it right off my phones browser and I see the file in my folder but when I click it the message says (" there is no application associated with operaminibrowser- Run the application first then open this file from within the application)
I would love to do that but don't see any other option to run the application... maybe i'm not looking in the right place so let me know
assuming I have to do some extra steps I see that I might need the following
Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_Manager_v11.zip (when I download and extract this the directions say to extract the .cab file but there are lots of files in there and when I open them all I get is a scrambled text file
I just want to have a full browser and be able to get google or yahoo maps for directions.
someone please help
thanks
Have you tried to download it off your PC and put the cab file on your device via activesync?

I recommend this too. Also, I heard it works well if you download IBM's java emulator with it. I like full Opera more then mini and it is free as it is a Beta right now (8.65).
yes I downloaded the files below but no applications would run... perhaps this is where that midlet manager comes in but that won't run anything either.
1. Select preferred language for Opera Mini:
2. Transfer these files to your phone, and install them according to your phone's installation procedure:
opera-mini-advanced.jad
opera-mini-advanced.jar
actually I re-read your question and no I didn't transfer it to my device then try to run it so I'll do that now.
thanks
I'll let you know if it works

That is, just click opera-mini-advanced.jar from inside File Explorer - you won't even need the JAD file.

Zip file download problem.

Hi, I want to know if there is any way to download files with extensions that are not recognized by the device using IE mobile? For e.g. If I want to download any rar file it says, " This file cannot be displayed on this device and halts the download". Or any media file that is not recognized by TCPMP/ WM player, it doesn't download. Since I use an unlimited data connection, I wanted to use this for downloading some files on phone and then I can use them to view on PC.
I also could not download zip files that I can see using Total Commander.
If anyone has any idea, please reply.
Thanks.
Yes there is a way how to correct this behavior. You have to use desired utility for that. Unfortunetaly I fotgot the name for it. Thy to search for Gonz Guava ROM - it has this utility included.

[Q] Content not supported on Galaxy Tab???

I am trying to figure out how to install reader's hub ( i have asked several questions, but I can't get anyone to help me). I have a US Sprint Tab. Each time I try to download the files, they download unsucessfully, and give me the error message "content not supported". This seems to only be true for rar files, as I have downloaded the readers hub zip file just fine. I currently have apk installer, Explorer, and Andro zip installed. Can someone please help me???
Hi,
As far as im aware even though androzip supports the rar files, it does not associate itself with the samsung tab explorers launcher for that file type.
If you extract this in the androzip itself and then browse to the contents you extracted that should work that way.
Wish you luck, let us know how you get on

Thanks for your reply. I would love to try thatm, but the tab wont even let me download the file. The thing is, I already have the files I need to get the readers hub, but I can't get it to install. Well, I can install the press Display and the Kobo, but the readers hub wont install. And although the Press Display and Kobo say they are installed, I don't see them anywhere on my tab.
Ahh OK, sorry to have misread the problem ...Have you access to a PC? as you could download and send. ...if not link me up ill download and make it a zip for you (my racing team dr-ukr has a server i can upload to for storage).
Alternatively try another browser, i've not yet tried the others but mayb it's jsut the Samsung modded browser that cannot support the download?
Ill post back if i get to test that first in Dolphin HD/Opera/Fennec beta etc..

Do I have to root my tab in order to install readers hub? Now I'm reading the rooting app has been removed, so rooting may not be possible.
Sorry i do not know about rooting, i am still on stock firmware and not wanting to blow my warranty yet. (allthough it will happen in the end) ... i have my nokia n900 for all the playing about for now (i'm confident with it and the tab is my first android).
Wish you luck and pretty sure the others here will help out

[Q] Can't open / download attached zip file in Gmail

I received an email yesterday with a Zip file attached, the GMail client wouldn't let me download & stated that there was no viewer to View it.
I have File Expert installed which will open & decompress zip files (over and above any native OS support for zips) but this is not offered as a choice.
I would have thought that there should be an option to download the file even if there is no way of opening it, is there a configuration somewhere ?
Kind of essential, I get a lot of zipped files in emails.

Search the market for "Download All Files" from HwkRbbt Software. It works great and allows saving of EVERYTHING.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.
try androzip from the market, unzips anything, and is a brilliant file manager as well
I am having trouble with this as well. My zip files show up in GMail with a 'INFO' box that when I tap onto it prompts me with a window saying that there is no application found to view it.
I have tried a few file managers already, including ASTRO (Which I own) plus the suggestions above. I take this for granted on my Droid X already...Any ideas?
I've had the same issue on both my phones and my tablet. No file manager or download manager has ever helped, including down droid, download all files, and ASTRO file manager, any other ideas? Thanks, sharf

UC browser trick for solving Retry download problem.

Here's a trick for users who want to resume their downloads on UC for files whose download link has changed.
1. Backup the 2 files from your download folder. One will be the download file and other a file with the same name with added .temp extension to it. This step is for retaining original file if anything goes wrong.
2.Download. Download the file whose link has changed again.
3. After it has downloaded a little,say 1 kb pause it.
4. Exit UC Browser.
5. Goto the download folder and rename the older 2 files(download file and .temp file) with the names of the newer ones. This can be done only after you delete the new files.
6. Open UC Browser and start the download of the new file. It will be download from the point it had stopped earlier. That is, you will be able to download from the point from where the old file had stopped.
Thx this might help me

PS: Current version of UC browser doesn't use temp files but uses ".cfg" file
