Hello
I've downloaded a website using WinHTTrack, more specifically a thread from a forum on here - hopefully this is allowed, to view offline. I've copied it to phones sd card but when I try to open it (a page), in Google Chrome, it starts to load but then stops about half way.
Is there something I need to do within Chrome to make it load or are there any (alternative) apps I can use.
Can anyone help/advise, please?
Thanks
For those of you, if any. who are wondering the same thing the answer is Firefox (my preference) or Opera.

Hi Guys,
I am having a problem at the moment. When I try and open a URL that ends in .jpg, Internet Explorer Mobile wants to download and open it. I want the image to simply open in Internet Explorer Mobile. It can obviously render images, as it does it all the time, but seemingly not when the URL ends in .jpg.
I tested the link on a desktop version of IE and it didn't ask to download, it just showed the image, which suggests to me it is not using "Application/Force-Download". I am going to try on another mobile web browser like Opera.
Does anybody know why this is? Or, is there a registry tweak to fix it? Thank you everyone for any information you can provide. It will help me greatly with a project I am working on.
PS I have "View Images" turned on in Internet Explorer Mobile, so that is not the problem.
i'm not so sure this is a problem.
which internet explorer are you using?
I think the new internet explorer shows images rather than downloading them.
Thanks for your reply. I have gotten around the problem by putting the link (it's static) inside a blank html page. Works perfectly now. Cheers!
i'm sorry, but what did you do before? tried to put the link in a PIE window with a website already loaded?
Sorry, let me be very specific:
I needed to get PIE to load an image inside the web browser, simple as entering the URL address and up comes the image.
However, PIE won't do that (could be a VGA problems specific to Imate phones I heard). Instead it asks if you want to download it, which I don't.
So, to fix the problem I have written a html page that basically says:
<html><head>
<Src img="www.website.com/June/Image.jpg">
</head></html>
Using this way, the image is forced to open inside PIE.
I needed it for a mod I am making for HTC Home and Manilla 2D.
Oh.. i thought you just put it inside a blank PIE window instead of one already loaded with a webpage.. hehe
good to know then.
the new PIE loads images regularly tho, doesn't download them.
cheers
Did a search, so sorry if I missed it. But, a couple of questions.
1) If you have root, is it possible to download and save PDF and Word files that come in on POP3 (or even gmail) email?
2) Otherwise, does anyone know the phone folder where these files are temporarily store while on the phone, and can they be accessed that way?
I spend a lot of time overseas, and going back and forth to the web to retrieve is a pain and expensive. Thanks
Forget it, I solved the issue.
Informing use how you solved the issue might help others
I'd be really interested in how you managed this, I've searched here, and Googled everywhere (almost). But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

lol...gotta love these types of posts right?
I'm able to save attachments like this using k-9 mail., for those interested
Sorry to go AWOL -- had to leave the country for a bit. My apologies.
Yeah, I also "solved" it by using K9. But, I find the program very buggie.
On a larger, related question, how does the Android platform make its file associations? In other words, when I receive an email attachment (with the stock app), it will allow me to download and save that attachment to my SD card only if there is an onboard, associated program. I can download .jpg, because Android has an application built in that will read a jpg. So, if I want to download a .doc file, I can't unless there is an appropriate app onboard. (Although k9 seems to have found a way). Where, in the Android platform, is this association made? And, is it possible (with a rooted phone) to somehow manipulate those associations to allow downloading of ANY (or a chosen few) files?
For instance, I find that if I change the file extension on a Word doc (for example) from "doc" to "jpg", my onboard email will allow me to download and save to SD card. So, it obviously CAN do it, what's stopping it?
Again, sorry for "skipping out" in the midst of a thread.
Download Crutch Lite in the market allows you to download any file by making Android believe it can open any filetype.
Theres a app called download crutch on the market that allows downloading of files that may not have associated applications. Not exactly sure what file types it supports but its worth a shot.
EDIT: Fushichou got it before me but heres a link to Cyrket http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=download+crutch
Thanks, but my experience is that Crutch will not work on email attachments. It seems to be an internet based device. I used it for a while. Partially, this is a kind of tech question -- how are the files associated?
I just got my gtab just last Sunday and so far I really like it. I just downloaded and applied the new OTA update (3389-very smooth update)and for the most part, the unit is stock.
I've had from the very beginning a problem, however, with downloads. I can download all the apps I want from the apps store or using the browser with no problem, but anything else just won't go. Whether it's Aldiko books from their program or their web site, or using the web browser to download any other type file--doesn't matter--nothing downloads.
I have not rooted it yet, but really that shouldn't matter. Has anyone else experience this? Any solutions?
I'm able to mount the unit to my pc and drag and drop all the files I want on to the main sd, so just about everything else works great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, the more I work with the gtab, the more I'm beginning to realize that my problem has to do with file associations. My browser will not download anything that's not a pdf or apk. So, gurus, I've looked around the system and haven't found a gui/app/place where I can add these associations or tell the browse to just download and I'll make the decision.
So, now that I have more information, any ideas on how I can get the system to download what I want though the browser? Or, is anther browser the answer.

Haven't been able to find any info regarding this. Is there a way to save pictures off the internet to your gallery? The standard web browser doesn't seem to have much in the way of those type of options, if it can't be done with the standard does someone know another browser that does? I'd like to be able to save photos I find on the web for backgrounds without having to continuing connect the Tab to my PC and transfer photos over.
Thanks
It can be done in Opera 11. Just long press the picture and a box pops up allowing the download (but only to internal SD that I could tell.)
Netfront life browser let you cut and save anything in the browser. I haven't tried it but remember reading it.
Dolphin has the long press option too. I use it for my anatomy physiology research. I make digital flash cards from Google image searches. I like dolphin because it lets me select my download location. I can make a new directory then select it in dolphin as my download location while I'm hunting body parts then switch it back to standard download folder when I'm done. Makes it easy to keep organized with this functionality.
I use the Dolphin HD browser too and find it works well for saving pictures and all around works better than the stock browser.
On another note, I do hope that Mantara gets those Honeycreams!
Thanks for the reply's! Dolphin sounds good, I'll check that out.
Hi hope this is in the right bit but i need some help have just got a Desire S first android phone and its great but im having problems with word.docs that are attached to my email when i try to open them it is saying that the content is not supported and there is no application to open it and I have a few apps that should open it I have noticed if i go ahead and download it it is coming up as a .bin file can anyone help at all ? thanks
There is no native way for Android to display Word documents, but there are numerous (and free) apps in the Market that will. For instance ThinkFree Office Mobile is an excellent choice, but there are others.
Thanks but I have tried along with several others and they will open doc and docx files but not wps which i need to open.
Have you tried Google Docs?
I haven't how do I do that on my phone.
Thanks
Assuming you have a Google account you could simply save any document attachments to your phone, navigate to Google Docs from your phones browser, upload the document and if GD supports that format you will be able to read/edit the document right there. When finished save a copy back to your phone if you need to.
It may not be as good as having a native app for this on your phone but they can be expensive.
