I'm having the same exact problem.
No issues here, downloading .apk files from getjar.com just fine.
You might/want/try to install a file manager like ES File Explorer or Astro, and it might work.

Wow really? Well all you said was you can't d/l that's it.
Try going into Astro and enabling file downloads then.
ANYWAYS.. *I* have no issues, and didn't have to install Astro and enabling anything.

Its because when you're not rooted the browser only downloads your basic files. that's my guess anyway.

Astro automatically installed from my titanium backup when I first rooted. Didn't work so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.. Still nothing. I don't have astro on my N1 but have absolutely no problems downloading a link right from stock browser. Whenever I click on the link it appears to start the dl but says download unsuccessful.

Just having astro installed isn't enough... you have to go into its settings and enable file downloads.
I'd also grab an app called "Download Crutch Lite."
It's not avaliable on the market for some reason, but a quick google search should turn up the APK.

Affirmative, then it should work like a charm. I was downloading all kinds of things last night (not really, but I experimented with three different file types, .rar, .zip, and .apk, and they all worked seamlessly.

Well yes. Thank you but of course I have done that. I'm still unable to download from the browser using the browser. Wait... WAS still unable to dl from the browser. I feel like I've never owned another android! lol I restarted my phone
Haven't been having any issues downloading... is it a certain file type? Have a link i can try? So far I've only downloaded various *.pdf's and the firefox *.apk, both which worked fine without any apps or setting tweaking.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT! I really appreciate it

go onto the market and download astro file manager, it allows you to access the root of your sdcard, open the app and look for the apk you downloaded click on it and press open app manager, click install and hey presto apk installed
Lol... download File Manager for the market, make sure you enable installing from unknown sources. Then just launch it via the file manager or Browser download window...

Anyone using Visidon Applock- face recongnition locking app on their charge. I had a Nexus S 4g and it worked great, but because of signal issues, I went back to Verizon. Went with the Charge. I have rooted the charge and am running gingerbread, but the apps market will not let me download this program. I think current version is 1.5 and should work just fine on my Charge...if I can get the download. What you do is take a picture of your face. Then you can use it to unlock either the phone, or apps on the phone by showing the phone your face. Works great.
Anyone able to provide me with the apk ver 1.5? I found and downloaded ver 1.1 but it is missing a signature file.
Thanks
There is a market fix in one of the sections here, after you install and run it, it will show up in the market. I have the file but am at work right now and can't seem to find the thread for it. When I get home I will upload the file for you if you havn't found the market fix. I have already installed fix on my phone and looked in the market for this file and it is there and works with this phone.

I think I found it. Is it called build.prop.
You have to edit the file to make it look like a Nexus S....which makes sense to me...because that is what I had before and it worked.

no, the file I am talking about does it all automatically, you have to install this app, run the fix from in the app, restart from w/in the app, then when it powers on you can erase the app if you want to. This will enable all apps in the marketplace.

Thanks...but too late....LOL....
I found the file build.prop which I would guess is the manual way to adjust what your fix does. I went into root explorer and renamed the original file to old...then like a dumb ass...turned off the phone before I had pushed the new file to the system folder. Anyway...I just re-flashed GBE....no big deal. and will take a look at your "fix" now.
Thanks Again.
lesson...don't drink and work on your charge...it's a bad combination.
Thanks for this post I have heard about thia app and never.put much into it, I stumbled upon this and bam! Up and running, thanks allall

This is what I found and what I ended up doing. Download the file and then replace build.prop in /system folder.
I did install your fix.apk...got an error on download via qr....but got the file and used adb to install. Not sure which one worked....
...edit....
just un- installed your fix.apk. then tried to install visidon again....all worked well. So I am pretty sure this manual mod is the same. Yours is much easier.

Go to application manager. Clear the data of media storage. Reboot and wait for half an hour atleast. Also try clearing data of gallery. Make sure the folder where you have your files don't have .nomedia file.
If that doesn't work then something must be really wrong with your rom.

Try removing the com.google.android.etc.etc apk from the Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded tab.
You can also try force closing/clearing data from Browser if it still shows up under Settings -> Apps -> All
Failing that, back up your important data, download the latest .zip file from ASUS, and follow the directions they have posted for it. I guess that should work.

com.google.android.etc is not there. Browser does not show up anywhere in my apps. Pulling my hair out.
So if I'm on 4.1 right now and I download the latest zip from Asus, that will not trigger an update since they already match right?
When I look at the Android Manifest in root explorer for Browser, it says Versionname:4.0.3-ww epad
SHouldn't that be 4.1??

Can someone PLEASE go into Root Explorer in system\app and grab the "Browser.apk" as well as the other "Browser..." file what ever it was. It is located right under "Browser.APK", I just don't remember the extension. I don't remember coz I wiped them both out. I think I had the older version of the file residing in there and hence wasn't able to install it.
Can someone please kindly do that for me and post? Thank you.
