[Q] Nexus S 4G never downloads files..fix please? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

Memo .apk

Does anyone have the original memo .apk that came with our phone. I've been searching everywhere for it and can't find it.

I got this by unzipping ICBINB KH2 -- it's in system/app
Download kd1 from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354582 Extract it and look in system/app for the apk. Copy the apk to system/app on your phone.
Edit: file already posted above but that is from GB. May work for you. This method will work for any app you need in the future.

All u need to is download that one and then push to system/app with root explorer. Then set permissions to rw-r-r and voila. It worked for me so it should for u too.

I suggest trying Note Everything. It's just like the Memo app, except the text is smaller (I found the Memo text to be obnoxiously big). You can even draw stuff with that app.
Looks like I'm gonna have to go with note everything because both of our computers aren't recognizing my phone

What do you need your computer for? Download kd1 from the link above. Use a file explorer to extract and push the file to system/app. I use root explorer, but there are many more that will work.

Get "download all files" from market. It will allow you to download zips with stock browser.

No it is not flashable. You have to move it with a file explorer app. Place the file in /Data/Local, then reboot.

Your moving the whole .zip file to /data/local, correct? If you extract (like I did the first attempt) it won't work.
Yes... ermm I think lol. Will try again to make sure.
So cm's splash screen shouldn't override?
And thanks for the quick reply
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Nope... the file must have been extracted automatically. Its the .exe that I moved.
Hmmm so what do I do?

The downloaded file should be bootanimation.zip, once that file is downloaded. Move it to /data/local. Do not extract it. Hope this helps.
Yea so I have two data folders. One on phone (which doesn't have a local folder) and one on my SD that also does not have a local folder.
Got the bootanimation.zip... just don't know precisely where to put it this seems extremely easy and I can't make it work lol

When you open what ever file explorer you use. If it doesn't already start at the root folder on your SD card. Go to it, it should look like this
Then click on Data, then Local folder. Place the bootanimation.zip there. Hope this helps.
very nice! Thanks! will make a few of my friends jealous hehe
You can flash it through clockworkmod as well. Looks pretty.
I used astro and when to root and i went to data and there is no local folder

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 ;-) :-\

What browser are you using? Stock? My guess is that it might not recognize the file type and doesn't know how to handle it.
What exactly is the the problem occurring? It is working fine on my Sensation...
I can't download stuff while using Opera but when using stock browser it works perfectly.
I think is just an issue with the browser you sre using rather than an issue with the phone.

I am getting the same problem. No filesonic, megaupload or any other file sharing site works for me. Or rather, I can initialize a download by putting in the codes. Then the download process starts. But instead of the .avi, apk or whatever I am trying to retrieve, it will say it can't download it or I get a .html extention file in it's place. Very annoying. Any ideas?

Can't download apps from filesonic. Only from PC. But if you download a apk from mediafire and it comes out as a html, use a file manager to rename the .html to .apk, hope I helped.

You have to use a computer to download from Filesonic. Can't download from mobile phone, it also says it in the .HTML file.
