Hi onedowg,
I am also using Opera Mobile not mini and it works fine for downloading files in my case mainly Avi's and MKv's hope that solves your problem.

I have seen this issue on some of the Samsung phones I work on. If you want to use any browser and still download files. Download astro file manager, then go into its settings and enable download any file types (something like that). I only use AStro just for that as I personally like Root Explorer better for everything else that you would need a file manager for.
Hope that helps you out some.

I use Firefox.

I use Miren on my phone and Xoom - lil buggy on Xoom but it works for those types of downloads

I use Dolphin and download from filesonic, fileserve and megaupload all the time. But I can't get any of the browsers to work with hotfile. Can't seem to add my login info.

Dolphin hd for me i can download any file type but dolphin for me won't download from Filesonic it downloads .htm. So I use firefox to download from Filesonic.

download flash games on your 2.2 (NO DATA)

hey just wondering if know where and if you can download flash games off the net and play them off your nexus one without using your data...
i think i remember a add on for firefox that allowed you to download the flash game but i cant find it... anyone have any ideas
Thanks
bump...
any1 got any ideas
I kinda got it working. If you download this extension for chrome: http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-plugins/ext-getflash-8721.html
You can then go to the mobile site on your desktop, click the extensions logo then right click and save the game via the new 'Download' link that will appear. You can then open the games via a file browser. However in both Dolphin HD and the stock browser the games will not go full screen. While they will load and play fine they simply won't go full screen unlike their online counterparts :/
Try these 2 from miniclip mobile:

[Q] Hulu?

I can't post a link because of new member status but if you search "hulu andriod app" in google, there is a link to absolutelyandriodDOTcom (5th link down) about debuging the web browser. I tried doing this on with the web browser that comes with TnT Lite v4.2.4 without any luck. I don't know the technical details, but would this be possible through some other means?
Thanks
Playon.tv mobile will work if you set browser user agent to Android. Watching SNL now.
Hulu works...
Hulu isn't that hard to get working on our G-Tabs. I'm running TNT-Lite 4.2.2 and it works pretty good. A little stutter here and there on HD show but all in all very watchable.
Read this post to see how to do it...

I downloaded the dolphin browser, set the user agent to Android, and set dolphin as the default browser. I launch playon, go to the hulu video I want to watch, and all I see is a thumbnail of the video and some information about the episode. How do you get the video to play?
Touch the thumbnail. It should play. I have dolphin hd and it works good. Have flash?

You have to HEX edit the one flash file from you phone on your PC as per the instructions at the link I gave above. After that it works fine...

I installed the version of flash listed in the right-up I posted the link to. Did the HEX edit of the file and I can go to Hulu and watch all videos in Dolphin HD or even the regular browser that comes with TNT-Lite 4.2.2.
It works the same in either browser. Smooth except in 720p or 1080p it stutters some but still very watchable...

I'm on vegan 5.1.1 maybe thats the difference. I did the same as you and still no worky on the sites. oh well playon works great and was already on my pc.
As long as it works......
Thanks for everyone's help on this. I am still not successful using Playon on the gtab, but with the Adobe Flash Player hack, I am now able to watch videos on Fancast.com
Glad you got it working for yourself.....
Got this working yesterday in vegan 5.1 without playon. Used the fixed flash and the recommended settings for dolphin HD. Works great in mid range resolution. All main hulu streaming works perfect but some redirects like the WB (getting my fiancée hooked on fringe:-D) lose sound/video sync after about 45 minutes. Totally worth the time to do.

Playon now has an app in the market. Are you setting up playon while on the same wifi as the computer running it for the first time?

My Media Center PC (which has the PlayOn Server software) is ethernet wired to the router. My gtab is access it on the same network. I see the list of applications (Hulu, CBS, CNN, etc.) and shows, just when I click on the thumbnail image, nothing happens.

Do you have Flash installed and working?
If not try this:
Cut & Paste From - " scsione889 " post - Thanks goes to him for how to install flash...
Step 1.
Download “Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1.apk” which you will find attached at the bottom of this post and save it on your tablet (I recommend creating a separate folder to save .apk files in).
Step 2.
On your tablet open up whatever file explorer comes pre-installed with the ROM you’ve selected. In there, open up where you saved your .apk, then select Adobe Flash Player, and follow the on screen instructions to finish installing that.

Just installed Bitrix gingerbread beta 6.43f and flash from market. Did no flash hacks and playon works great from the web browser or the app. All stock settings.

[Q] Watching Flash videos on infuse

Hi
I am unable to watch flash videos through browser on infuse. It says a plugin is required and when i click that it takes to adobe flash page. But flash page mentions that this OS is not supported for flash. I have installed flash 10.3 from market but still doesnt work. Any help?
Thanks
open the browser, hit menu>more>settings>enable plugins>always on
edit:
if that doesnt work look into the "hulu fix" found in the forums for other devices. it may not be recognising the build of the flash plugin, the hulu fix plugin is modified to fake the windows plugin, if it doesnt want to play with the browser, type "about:useragent" (no quotations) into the address bar and set it to desktop, you may also have to clear cookies to get it to work on sites like hulu that intentionally block mobile devices for licence reasons.
if the browser is sluggish then try opera mobile browser, stock android browser can be sluggish on the hummingbird with 2.2. it is way better with gingerbread, unfortunately that will have to wait for a good kernel dev to port over.

Because you are using stock browser, try opera, not the mini okay.
Reason why I like opera browser, if you set flash on demand, when you click the okay on one flash it only plays that single flash that you click, while dolphin and stock browser set "on demand" if you click one flash, every flash on the web page plays, that is why it is sluggish.

I use stock browser and love it, no lag with flash on. Only downside is that 720p flash videos are slow as hell. 360p videos work the best with great frame rates.

[Q] How do you download videos??

Not Youtube, but from a browser. On the Vibrant, when you chose a video from a website it gave you the option to stream it to your video player, or you could hit web and it would download it and store it on the SD card. With the G2X it only gives me the option to stream it to video player. I tried different browsers, the same thing happens with Dolphin, Opera comes closest but says cannot download unsupported file type. I know MP4 is a supported file type. Anyone found a solution for this?
I'm very interested myself.
Been trying to find the answer? U^
Yeah, no luck. Tried different browsers, looked all through settings it just doesn't work. Probably going to have to replace whatever apk controls it. Maybe the browser.

This sucks but no phone is perfect. Wondering... I might just switch phones with android all that matters is how the phone looks. Roms come and go...
Opera mini on 3g would give me the option to download but then says I don't heave enough memory.
Well you can download videos from the Youtube site just follow this guide ---> http://www.knowyourcell.com/lg/lg-g...ad_and_save_youtube_videos_on_the_lg_g2x.html
Or on Firefox mobile you can download the Video DownloadHelper add-on to download videos from any site.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
No idea how to find that addon
video download helper is for the pc right? How does that help with the phone?
EDIT: So with firefox when you click on a flashplayer video it downloads it. Guess it's a start. Kind of sucks having to watch it on flashplayer on regular browser then go to firefox to download it but at least you can download.

[Q] Browser to download in background

Hello, I'm using the latest ViperS Rom for my sensation. Just wanted to ask if anyone has the problem of downloads pausing or canceling when put the browser in background? For me, downloading from hosting sites that doesn't support resume of download they usually just fail when I put the browser in background. For sites that support resume, they sometimes pause, and resumes either from the point it paused or resumed from start again, or sometimes also fails. I've tried multiple browsers available and with no luck.
1. Stock htc browser: fails upon putting in background no matter resumable or not.
2. Dolphin browser: immediately fails upon putting in background for not resumable downloads and pauses for resumable downloads. Downloads start from 0% when reopening browser.
3. Boat browser: sometimes works for downloads with small size.
4. Firefox: fails like stock browser.
I've tried 3rd party download managers but can't seem to make anything work out. I've also tried adjusting min free to the maximum multitasking but also with no luck. Is there any way or do I just have to stick with opening the browser until the download finishes?
Thanks in advance.

For me on Viper, Firefox works like a charm on the background and if I can recall stock did as well. If those didn't work maybe try ICS Browser+ or Chrome. See if either of those work and check to see if it's your SD card.

Oh I forgot to include chrome as well. For me, chrome is the worst in downloading in background. Fails immediately like dolphin. I'll try ics browser+ like you suggest. Also, stock browser usually fails to download certain files from hosting sites.
