I'm using the browser and trying to download a word file (.docx) and it keeps coming up as .bin. I try to open it but its just nothing. Downloaded Dolphin Browser and the same thing happens, how do I download files with this phone? I cannot use an app for this email account because its for school and its disabled.
Works fine on the computer.
Thanks!

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.

I want to be able to download roms from mediafire on my phone. i can use megaupload, and hotfile, but not mediafire or rapidshare. has anyone gotten these sites to work from their phone and can give me a tip or two?

Just use dolphin browser. I use it to download a variety of files from a variety of sites.
firefox's new phone browser works great. also make sure you have an application like ES file manger or Astro to apply the .apk or files.
Or, as what solved the problem for me(still using the stock browser), in Astro file manager's preferences, tick the enable browser download. Im sure these other ways worked, but if you already have astro you wont have to download any new files.
I used to use Dolphin Browser just to download things from the internet.
Now I use xScope 6 to download and as my main browser as well.
I think something changed after the 2.2 update. I used to be able to download nzb files through the stock browser. Now if i try to download them using stock browser or opera, they download as a .bin file. I went into astro and changed it to .nzb, but it still doesnt work. Is the phone modifying these files so they cant be stored on the phone properly? I was surprised that I couldnt find any discussion of this by searching google. Also, when i tried download a .mp3, the same thing happened.
I currently access a website that has the ability to download selected files from the click of a hyperlink. (on the PC). By clicking on the link the files come down and a dialog box opens with the downloaded file asking, to open it or save it.
When I try to do the same on my phone the website appears to be accepting depressing the link, however nothing appears on my phone asking to open or save it and I cannot find the file anywhere. It may be downloading the file in the file structure but I cannot find it. My friend who has an iPhone does the same thing and the file opens up immediately on his phone just like you would on a PC.
I've tried using the stock browser and the dolphin browser. The phone is a stock charge the gingerbread update.
I can open these files if they are sent to me in an e-mail but not by depressing this hyperlink on the website.
Anyone have any ideas?
Try long pressing on the link and hitting save as or save target or whatever it says

I have tried long pressing the link and that opens up a dialog box with the following.
open
open in new window
bookmark link
save link
share link
copy link URL
Nothing about saving or opening files.
Ok so i have been trying to download this file ( http://powshare.com/t2/Hardwell-On-...-25.01.2013-www.edmtunes.com.mp3#.URN_zB02Yy4 ). Its a set from hardwell, nothing illegal. Tried stock browser, chrome, opera, dolphin, boat and lightning browsers. All fail to download the file. The only one that could successfully download this file was firefox. This happens to me with some mirror sites like mediafire (i can actually download from mediafire, but i cant remember more to give as an example).
Why is firefox the only one able to download this file? Since firefox can download the file, it is not a problem with my Nexus s right?
I am using hellybean rom (based on cm 4.1.2)
