I keep getting unsuccessful downloads, saying the content type is unsupported. Mostly roms (eaglesblood) and apks, I'm pretty sure those are supported. Any ideas why? Stock rom rooted.

Thanks for the reply. I still don't get why a .zip or an .apk are unsupported

You can also download Astro File Manager (free) and enable browser downloads in preferences.

Anyone else having direct download problems? Up until tonight I have downloaded fine. I'm using heinz rom but when I go to download anything I get "cannot download. Content 5/31/11 not supported on your phone" .... thoughts?

Download the download all files app from the market. It will fix it. Its a MIME plugin for the browser that allows a mutltitude of file types to be downloaded.

Cool its working! Any thoughts on why it started doing that?

Honestly no. Mine did the same thing a while back and I just got another browser. Then I found that app and haven't had a issue since and also haven't needed another browser either.

I can't seem to download any files with my nexus s 4g. Usually I attempt to download files from xda either with the app or the site through the browser. I'm always told in downloads and the notification bar that the download was unsuccessful.
Is this due to a setting somewhere? Data profile or the like? Any fix or work around would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Glad you got it to work. I just got the NS4G 2 days ago and on the way home from Best Buy I was trying to download MIUI but kept getting the same error lol
Oh, and if you d/l from browser the file should be in /mnt/sdcard/download
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
yeah, i found it. the first download didnt take.
That's normal. Android doesn't download files that it doesn't know how to open, usually you are able to download a mp3 or a jpg, cause it knows these files. A file manager helps with files that it knows, but if you want to download ANY type, just install "Download All Files", an app from the market...

what rom are you using and what browser are you downloading it from.. I know the stock one sometimes does this to me, I just switched to Dolphin HD and no problems after (though IMO the stock aosp browser in custom roms is a little faster)

try this! i think i know what your problem is. Go to the market and download astro file manager. Open astro and press the hard menu button on the phone. Select preferences and scroll down until you see "enable browser download" make sure the box is clicked and voila!!! It should allow you to download the file.
Seemed dimplier to download dolphin plus didn't read this till I already flashed theme ;-) :-\

Exactly what it says-just acts like an app that tells Android it can run everything so you can download. It doesn't actually do anything.

what are you trying to download? the stock browser may not like certain files. use dolphin browser hd from the market it is free and you can download any file type you want
I got it on a number of things. You can also install the app "download all files" and then try again

Im currently on Richie390's MIUI 2.3.24 rom and having a little problem and anyone using that build or knows anything help would be useful. Last weeks build my market updated to the google play store and was working fine and everything, i then updated my rom to the more current rom which is the 2.3.24 and now my google play store has reverted back to android market. i tried downloading the apk and installing manually but it keeps saying install unsucessful. i also tried the clear data and open market and it should update on its own but none of them work. Any help?
Why does it matter? Significant changes are the icon change and name.

Just something that bothers me a little and I liked the interface of how they setup the "My Apps" screen.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Just use a root explorer and overwrite the old vending apk in system/app?
I've never used an MIUI rom but I'm assuming you still flash gApps zip like the other roms, you could unzip the gApps you're using, copy the updated vending apk into the app folder and rezip the files and flash it

make a backup in CWM.
then boot your rom, and use something to remove the market, or just delete the .apk
try re-installing it then
if you still cant get it working, you could always try pushing it to the phone via ADB from your computer... but that seems like it would be a bit too much work for just a few non necessary changes.
Appreciate all the help, ill give some of the advice a try and see if maybe one of em works LOL

I'm on a stock based ROM and I have the newest market.
It isn't only for ICS.
Tried everything to no avail, I'm using Richie's miui rom, could just be the rom itself =/

BTW, whoever said there weren't any differences between Market versions hasn't played around with it much. The latest version of Google Market, hmm, Play, is a mess, especially when comes the time to figure out how to display purchased apps separately from all the other crap I may have had the misfortune of trying in the past. There is also no way I can find to filter the previously-installed app list: a simple alphabetical sort option would greatly help.

You flashed a gapps package? You can't really install market from the apk. You can force it through root explorer but just flashing gapps again should solve it. Make sure it's a gapps package with play already packaged. Otherwise give it a day, it should update itself
