I seem to be unable to download files over the internet with my TF300.
I can download OK from Google Play and via torrent clients, but not from download sites (eg DepositFiles, Oron).
When I try to download a file from a website I get a "waiting for data connection" message in the Download Manager window. The download eventually times out.
I have "allow installation of non-Market apps" checked.
I have root but no ROMs.
Build is .30; ICS 4.0.3.
I have tried stock browser, ICS Browser+ and Maxthon.
I have tried clearing cache.
Anyone have a solution please?
Grateful for any advice.
regards

Thanks R3Z4545. Installing Dolphin Mini now allows me to download from Megashare sites (but not others - no idea what makes that site so special).
Does success with Dolphin Mini indicate the issue relates to caching maybe?
I'm also thinking the culprit may be the adfree app I installed after rooting. I might tinker with that and report back after work.
regards
Adfree will prevent downloads from sites that use advertising like adfly.
Hey try downloading "download all files" and adobe reader.....i had that problem and this always helps.

Download all files doesn't seem to work on the websites I need it to. Thanks for the tip though. It will still come in handy.
And it seems Adfree wasn't the culprit after all. Uninstalling it has made no difference.
Apart from doing a factory reset, or making do with Dolphin Mini (which at least allows me to download sometimes), I'm out of ideas.
Thanks all for assist.

What can I do to enable successful downloading from the browser? An example would be downloading attachments from my yahoo account or downloading files directly from xda_developers. Please help.
Thanks,

Edit: currently running TNT 2.1.1 w/ CW recovery
Edit: it always says download unsuccessful. I made sure My partion is 2mb/0 too.
I had the same problem with the stock browser, downloading works well with dolphinHD though... maybe switch to a different browser?
Your right. I downloaded a file download app and dolphin hd browser app. Using the dolphin browser, I have been able to download attachments and random file types that are linked on webpages. I may not have even needed the file download app.
I have always had that problem with stock browser.....I think everyone does .....the question needs to be, who CAN download attachments with stock browser.
Every time I try to download something online it downloads than it cancels saying DOWNLOAD UNSuCCesSFUL.
And when i try to download data from a game, it says connection timed out.
Market downloads work fine though.
What is going on please help.
I'm on timait 2.2.2 rooted.
I used dolphin and stock browser, gives me same problems.

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post in, I'm new to xda. So I have been having a problem with aptoide. Everytime I try to download and install an app it gives me "download failed due to network" error. I have unknown sources checked (of course), and no network issues (as I am online right now). it will work one time if I delete and reinstall the app. It just started happening as I always use aptoide. I am running illusion rom on Samsung galaxy note 2 t889 4.2.2 any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

I've been having the EXACT same problem. Every time I try downloading an app it says failed due to network error or something like that.

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and changing around my settings but nothing has worked. I haven't added anything or done anything different Before this started happening so I don't know what's going on someone please help!!!

Hi, I'm having a problem with my updates in Aptoide. I give update and says "Error apk Not Found"
try this one Tampermonkey script which allows you to download apk and obb directly to pc.
only chrome, maelstrom and opera browser are supported.

Aptiode is NOT allowed!
It is considerd warez!
Havent you all read the forum rules?!

I have been unable to use Flash Player in Firefox on KitKat. I have to use Dolphin.

Did you select auto play or tap to play in the plugin settings? If one doesn't work, give the other a try. The setting is a bit fickle.
Also, did you just place the APK in the folder? Have you tried simply installing the official flasplayer apk as an actual app?
(though I've swapped to Dolphin, the last few recent Firefox updates have made it painfully slow.)

I did, of course, install the APK. It would have been pointless not to. I did not tweak the plugin settings though. Websites I visit do not recognize that Flash is installed and will not even offer the Flash content. The problem with Dolphin is that many websites do not render correctly. Oracle support, for example does not render or work right with Dolphin. Neither do other elaborate support sites such as the HP server support system. That means that I must keep FF on hand for those.

1) Please make sure that Dolphin Jetpack is enabled in the Settings.
2) Download and install <a>this Flash Player(http://goo.gl/VMivpL) on the right top on this link(http://dolphin.com/lab/en). If you have installed the other Flash Player before, please uninstall it first.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu > Settings > Web Content > Flash Player) is on. Follow steps mentioned above and find out whether it works. I get it from their website.
"Download unsuccsessful" - error message from some browser on some XDA download links
Hello there!
Firstly i wanna say sorry if this was already solved, but i've been looking litterally everywhere on the web and couldn't find ANY solution to my specific problem, nor anyone who had the same issue.
The problem is a "download unsuccessful" error given when i try to download from this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3890995&d=1475259527
This is the page where the link is:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/mod-google-keyboard-unicode-9-10-emojis-t3348544
The error is not on every browser, but just on some of 'em:
Chrome: works
Opera: works
Furefox: works
Samsung Internet Beta: doesn't
Via Browser: doesn't
Before having encountered this issue, i just wanted to try out the new Samsung browser, and eventually decided to dump Chrome for the latter. I did a few compatibility test to check if everything was alright, but that link (as another one in the same page and, likely, many others around) didn't want to work. Other links actually do.
I tried all the solutions i found online:
-uninstalling Chrome and wipe Samsung Internet cache
-wipe Download Manager cache, then force close it
-messing around with all the settings, permissions etc
Now, i went back to the laggy Chrome and end of the story. But i'm still really curious to know why this happens, why with some specific links and why only on some browsers.
Thanks for the help

Maybe because you need to go into system settings>apps>name of.apk, then open it's permission settings, make sure it has permissions to access storage.

I wish it was that easy. I gave all the permissions needed. That's not the issue for sure.
