Simple Question.... - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I'm hoping might be able to help with...
I'm traveling on business and I need to download a Windows (pc) file, an .exe program setup file thats in 'windows' format. I can't download... it says: "format not supported by this phone" (P999 g2x). I just need to download them so I can transfer them to my laptop later on....
Is there a workaround or app to allow this? Any ideas? Thanks.

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.

opening swf file in browser

is there a way i can set the browser as the default app required when opening certain types of files such as shockwave (swf)? i have some shockwave files that id like to view .on my evo without requiring me to go out to the internet and download the file manually everytime.
right now i have the files on my sdcard. when i try to open them, i get prompted to choose what type of file it is and then what to use to open the file.
i can view these files with my browser over the internet using flash lite.
i suppose i could run an http server on the phone itself, but there arent any good choices on the market. too bad i cant install apache.
thanks.

[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

I was having the same problem. I tried opera browser and it let me download the files. The stock browser is junk.
Go to market and download "Download all Files", works perfect on GT.

exe then it's probably a PC file, or a self extracting file that needs to be undone on a PC then moved to your phone.. or some kind of malware that isn't what you thought it was.
nope, torrents will always be .torrent not .exe file
if u open a .exe on a pc your just looking for trouble. :crying:A torrent is about a target file,
it contains no info about the content of the file. Use trusted popular trusted torrent sites.
www.kickasstorrents.com KickassTorrents is my favorite well used site.
