Is it possible to download from File Sharing sites - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't own the Evo but I got a chance to play with one. I noticed the screen froze up every time I tried to download from Megaupload. I tried it again and the same thing happened. Was this just a fluke?

Trust me, Im loading mine up with "good" software and most of it is either torrents of file sharing sites like you describe and I have had no issues on either.
However, getting a good torrent app is a bit of a challenge. I ended up using andTorrent as aBTC kept force crashing.

I can't download from sharing sites because of their countdown timer, doesn't work right, so i just grabbed skyfire for those sites.

The countdowns are java based. As long as you have java script enabled in your browser it should work. I just grabbed a file last night off of 4shared with the stock browser with no problems.

Sweet! Thanks a lot guys!

I have found the timers will sometimes lock up is you zoom in or out on the screen. As loon as I leave the screen also (can switch windows though) it is ok.

That is sweet browser. It works for me both Wifi and Cellular network.
I have been using for about a week. I had sporadic problems using Edge with LVWS Rom and now with the Cingular 2.0 Black Rom I have no problems.......so far
Thanks for posting this, works great. Have to say it makes reading the forum easier from my phone. Using it to post this reply.
yeah, must agree, except that it does not work on some sites, this browser is head and shoulders above the rest. Great for reading.
Great
This is a great browser - nice and slick.
Plus it seems to be better for viewing PDF's than any other viewer i've tried

Not just SEEMS to be better at viewing PDF's, it is faster and slicker than any other PDF software and everyone should install it for the PDF capabilities alone - it is a bonus that it is a great web browser and views files of many different types
I've tried to install/re-install the program in main memory and Storage card. But tried to launch the Picsel Browser - keep getting "Initialisation Failure". Can anyone help ????
Might make a good pdf viewer, but its a piece of sh*t for a browser...works, but too much funky zoom/pan bs.
I absolutely love this application.
has anyone tried to login to myspace with this browser? It seems that this browser cuts part of the webpage, the part where I would login !

Thanks for the advice. But I have tried many time to reinstall/redownload ( also from other sites) but still encountered the "Initialisation Failure " error. I've also cleaned the direcory/registry/notification queue too but still not working. It's a pity - I would like to try out this program.

Yup, I have the same issue. Its a nice browser, fast and all but has some problems with rendering full page.
yeah, I definitely like the concept Of this browser. If the rendering problem could be fixed, I would dump opera mini and netfront in a heartbeat!
i like this app too, really nice.
someone has tried to browse a youtube video? i think this are flash movies, so i have installed flashplayer 7 (adobe(macromedia)), but the site alwayr return: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Flash Player.
anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks guys, brings me back to the Sony UX50 days, a very capable browser.
I found out that the browser can only reach internet by using WIFI. when i tried to use cellular line, it did not work.
any idea to solve this? the software is very very good....

Adverts "pulling" page downwards

Have noticed this for the last few days using IE6 at work.
When reading the forums the page jumps to the Google Ad at the bottom, which means I have to scroll back up to the where I was.
Anyone else noticing this with IE6 or other browsers?

Nope only happens on this site. Think it's linked to the new type of Google ad which www.Swoopo.co.uk are running.

Pretty sure it the one ad which is doing it, I've tried to contact Google to see if they can sort it out. The other option is for the Google Ad Admin of the site to block ads from www.Swoopo.co.uk
Guessing for those outside of the UK won't have the issue as Google change the ads depending on which country you are in.

That must be the reason! Both you guys are from UK. And actually we have ads on top of the page (big bum me !) unlike yours (bottom of page)
all ok here
im having no problems here in birmingham @ home and work is fine
Firefox 3.0.5 and IE 6/7/8 beta are all working OK here is the US.
Add'l Info:
Tested on Vista Utimate x64 SP1 and XP SP2.
This is driving me mad, clicking on the link for the newest post just doesn't work with these ads as it moves the page.
Can anyone who has the Google Adsense admin add www.Swoopo.co.uk to the blacklist.

[Q] (REQUEST) private notepad apk

Hi
I am looking for the private notepad apk. I believe if to be freeware and I got it once in the market but have not been able to find it after losing it during a hard reset. The application displays itself as a notepad in your list but when clicked opens a password protected tube porn viewer. It displays eight pictures which will load up the video using the system player. you have option to show more videos and change password. Ive done the google thing and search other avenues but it seems to have disappeared. any help will be appreciated with a thanks.

I actually thought this app was pretty sweet. All my friends who's phones I rooted wanted this app. Now it won't play videos and I'm being blamed. LOL. People need their fix I guess.
A fix for this app or a replacement would be great. Too convenient to give up.

Armor for android Keeps Downloading

Good days folks,
I have a software called "Armor for Android" (which an antivirus) keeps dwnloading every while from unknown source!
I am attaching 3 pics to show you the problem. I even installed and run the application but still, it keeps downloading.
the application is not available in the play strore but the apk gets installed from a source which I don't know. I got the devise since one month only and I am new to android software.
please help me thankfully.
Someone on amazon put this in his review
This came with Tech Font, Clean Font, or Gothic Font for FlipFont, not sure which, but when I uninstalled them, it went away, so far. It hides itself from any application or process monitors, so I'll edit this review if it comes up again.
Click to expand...

Seems like it acts more like malware than an antivirus. Could possibly be downloading virus database updates. But if you really wanna use an antivirus program use avast or avg not some random program you don't even know where it came from
I like to break stuff!
It doesn't even scan for viruses. the damn thing offloads work to a site owned by google (that explicitly states NOT to use for commercial purposes) and AFTER it has been scanned by the site, the program flags the files as clean and NEVER offloads the files to scan ever again. it's the most useless garbage i've ever heard of and any positive reviews are FAKE
Guys, Thank you for your replies but actually the problem not yet solved. I catched the website the file downloading from suddenly:
dl.trafficmanager.net
I tried to open this webpage but it keeps giving me server error. I am not sure if this thing would be helpful. If you have any ideas, I will be thankful if you could share it.

It looks like that's the download server. After playing around with it, I think I see what they're doing. You probably have your browser open on their download page. Every time you start your browser it downloads the install apk to your device again. I noticed it when I went back to my browser. Try closing that page or navigating away from it. The downloads should stop.

DevDB uploader broken?

Is the DevDB uploader broken right now? I've been trying to upload a new build of my ROM for a few hours and every time it fails at the verification step. Not sure where to post this kind of thing but this seems like the most appropriate place; if not, feel free to move my post. Thanks!
Edit: took a look at the javascript console and it seems like the torrent creation script is throwing a 500 error, if that helps at all.

Hi iofthestorm
Found the same behaviour on my thread (not DevDB).
I've noticed that 500 is raised over attachments (images too) only when using desktop browsers. Control panel shows my attachment but it's not accessible. Tested with: Crhome, FireFox and IE ... logged and as anonymous ... same 500.
But, browsing the same thread with xda-app shows up perfectly.
Weird!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Had an issue on the devdb file server the other day and it looks like when things came back up the MySQL server didn't start properly which prevented new uploads. This is now fixed and I've tested it, so let me know if you still see any issues with it.

This is a separate issue - it seems like the thumbnail wasn't created properly, but if you click on the file the actual attachment was created properly. I'm going to do some testing to see what is causing that problem.
Testing attachments... should be good to go now.
Edit: Yup - everything good. Let me know if you have any other issues with attachments.

I redid the downloads server a week or so ago, there are some new security measures in place and that is probably what caused the not-authorized error for you. I just downloaded one of your old files and re-uploaded it without issue. Can you let me know what browser you are using, or if there are any extensions that might be blocking in?

Thanks, the plugins are probably doing it. I use unbranded FireFox (IceWeasel) with the NoScript plugin (although xda has been allowed for a long time - I may need to whitelist something else, or use Chromium/Chrome).
UPDATE: it appears that Chrome is handling uploading fine (Chromium was a bust due to the lack of Shockwave Flash support, as the Upload button was dead). Is there a predictable server for the authorization I could whitelist back in IceWeasel - that way I don't have to switch browsers? (Seems that the authorizing server loads at the last moment, preventing me from determining it's name.)
