I always got an error trying to download from sites like dev-host or dropbox from my phone. Downloads always errored out and wouldn't start up. Found androzip file manager on the market. Since then downloads start and finish without a problem. Noticed some people were having problems downloading to their phone. Hope this helps a few.
Stock twiz blocks downloads if I'm not mistaken you should try a different browser or rom... There was an apk floating around called downloader that bypassed this issue

Guys,
I just pirchased Alphalt 5 HD from gameloft but after fully downloading the apk and installing it there's an error saying there's a problem parsing the packge. What should I do to install it. I already checked the option to allow installing applications outside of Market.
Thanks guys!

That usually (for me anyway) means the apk hasnt downloaded properly. Try redownloading it and keep the browser download screen open so it doesnt lose connection.

i just searched up a restaurant
so it's working
and the site was trying to force my phone to install an app, instead of letting me read the search results quickly
I just updated my host file with Adfree and reboot ed. All seems ok now. Weird.

Ad blocking on your android will save you data, it is very helpful. just like on the pc.
so i will start a list of all the sites and include my own host file. what i do is use a program called hostsman and download the hosts from there. feel free to add your own. thanks guys.

Does not AdFree not do a good enough Job??
Adfree isn't blocking everything ATM. Adds started to pop up in some apps lately
Ofcourse now that I posted that address prompted an update within 2 minutes

Thoughtful, but you can do this with a one-click free app.

Sent from my Adam using Tapatalk.
have you tried looking on market.android.com? It should show you any recent purchases under my account or you can also look under my library too and see if you can find it there too.
this was a free app. how can I see history using the old market app?
ok. I see where you meant. the app is not showing anywhere...sucks

When I start it ti's giving me an error and does nothing. How can I fix that?
Try googling the app name to see if someone has the apk hosted. Usually works for me when the crap market search engine fails to locate apps I've downloaded and used many times in the past.

I want to run Google maps and YouTube apps rather than the browser versions, but there is no option I can select like my p1000 had when I clicked a link. Any way to do this? The browser versions suck.

I have no trouble running the apps. In fact, I think it came with the YouTube app installed.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Yes they're both pre-installed it just doesn't goto the app when a YouTube link is pressed, it just plays it in the browser and no choice to use the app instead

I don't have my Tab at work, so I'll check when I get home, but I didn't think that they opened in the browser. Youtube may (I don't remember for certain), but I'm almost certain Google maps does not. Of course, I may have just be oblivious to it, so I'll have to check to be sure.

Have you tried updating or reinstalling the apps from the Marketplace?
Just took a closer look. Maps is a standalone app (I think it was around 30 MB). YouTube doesn't open in the normal browser, but i do think it's possibly just a link that opens the browser with certain functions disabled as it's only 68k, but doesn't have the normal browser menu options.

I don't think I am getting my message across clearly. This is an example. If you install a new browser and then do a Google search, it will then ask you which browser to open up the search with. This is how it is on my p1000 with map links and YouTube links when browsing and pressing links. On the p6200 it is not giving this option. It just runs them inside of the browser.

YouTube is pre-installed and not on the market here with Honeycomb. Maps is up to date and reinstalled. I just think its something usefull that has been removed from Honeycomb. Maybe Google think the web versions are just as good on honeycomb which I would disagree with.

Seems to only be from the browser. If I open a link outside of the browser it gives me the option for the apps..Its odd why they have made it this way.
OK, I did misunderstand you. I see what you're saying now, and I think mine does exactly the same thing. Not sure if there's an option to change that default behavior or not.

Weird. Mine works exactly as it should. When I click on a YouTube link from the Dolphin browser (don't use the stock browser), a pop-up will ask me what I want to open it with and the YouTube app is one of the choices. Same thing with Maps. Maybe it's a browser setting in your tablet? What browser are you using? Or is the problem that you have a non-US tablet model (different stuff set up for international models)?
Yes it's a browser issue, I use stock. I've tried dolphin browser and it works fine with links to external apps.
