[Q] Anyone else having problems downloading via 4shared.com? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hought it was just an issue with the ROM I was running, but I've tried it on multiple one now. Any time I try and download a file from 4shared.com from my phone, I can't. It downloads anywhere from 6-82kB and then the download dies.
Anyone with some insight??

I started having this problem back when I still had my Hero. Once it started I was never able to successfully download anything from 4shared over my phone again.
I never looked in to it much. I wonder if changing your UA in the browser to Desktop would help?

Tried that...no beans.

I wish people would use personal servers, or Google Docs. Google Docs let's you upload anything up to 1 GB. You only get 1GB of storage for free, but you can by Google storage pretty cheap and have way more than that. Just saying.

Works for me

All browsers stop loading in the middle of a webpage

....except for Opera. Stock, xScope, Dolphin, etc all fail to load anything.
I have no idea when this started. Just flashed from CM7 #20 from #5 with a full wipe and everything to see if that fixed the problem. On the very first boot, without signing into my Google account, every website loads fine. Then I signed into my Google account through the market, downloaded Titanium Backup, and tried the same website again, which didn't work. 3G is still connected, it's just not downloading anything. Every other app that uses 3G works fine. I'm pretty sure Titanium Backup isn't the problem meaning something is wrong with my Google account?
no help for me?

I believe there is a newer version of CM than #20. Have you tried that?
Also did you check if anyone else is having a similar issue with this rom in the rom forum?
Are you experiencing the same problems with wifi?
What kernel are you using?
What screen version phone do you have?
Have you experienced any other issues with your phone?
Have you seen this problem before with other roms?
You said ...except for Opera. Stock, xScope, Dolphin, etc what does this mean? Everything else works ok except the browsers you specified? If so, what works then?
Help would be on the way once more information is provided for troubleshooting. The more information you provide the better someone can jump in with a possible solution and brainstorming Cheers.
Did you restore anything from TiB? Should only do App Only, never System Data if that's the case.

Running #22 right now but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Even on the very first boot the browser doesn't load any pages. Same problem with wifi. Using Chad's 4.1 kernel. AMOLED screen. Didn't notice this problem until maybe a week ago when I as on #5. For some reason, the market started force closing on me too this morning even after a new wipe/ROM, probably has something to do with the new Android web store or something.

Hmmm, can you try a different AOSP kernel? Test that and let us know if you are getting different results.

Everything works fine on the latest Evervolv. Guess it's a CM7 thing. Anyone know what exactly is wrong though?
Could've been your host file blocking (or at least attempting to block) ads. That was my problem before. I deleted it and poof, everything was fine lol.

I also had a problem where the stock browser would stop downloading web pages on CM 6.1, I was on the last nightly version whatever that was. I downloaded the newest flashplayer 10 from the market and that fixed it.
Cache?
Assuming you tried clearing browser cache and any/all cookies, etc?

Mediafire Problems?

Sorry to ask this here, but is anyone else having problems downloading roms/add ons/ themes/ anything at all from Media Fire? For a couple days now, the little button that says 'click here to start download' just never appears. I've used internet explorer 8, internet explorer 9 (just updated it), google chrome, and my Evo's browser. I can't download any file at all!
Also, since I can't seem to download anything from mediafire, does anyone happen to have a mirror of the Matted Blues theme for SalvageMod 1.2.1? It would be greatly appreciated.
I had a problem the other day on chrome [main browser] so used i.e. explorer 9, and it downloaded just fine. Is the file in the salvage mod/themes thread, and I'll host in it my dropbox for ya.
Edit: Downloading now; up in a minute or 2.
二 Edit: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/MattedBlues-v2.9-SalvageMod1.2.1.zip There ya go man.

Thanks man. I have no idea what the issue is, because I can't get it from my computer, on any browser, or on my phone's browser? It's happening on any mediafire file that I try to download, regardless of what it is. Oh well, I'll continue research on that elsewhere. Thanks again for the mirror.

Yea, I just tried that before I updated to IE9. Still didn't work. I'm not sure, I suppose there are probably a bunch of settings in the browser that can be messed with, but I certainly haven't changed anything recently. I was thinking it was Mediafire, because it's not working on my phone either. However, you were just able to download the file fine. I'm puzzled.

Anyone try Blood and Glory on Epic 4G?

I read an article about Blood and Glory and went to the market to search for it. I would not show up. I went back to the article and it had one of those barcode things, I scanned it and found the game. I downloaded it then realized it was like 37 megs but decided what the heck and let it finish. I noticed at the top it had a black bar that said the app was not compatible with my deivce. I tried it anyway when it finished and it actually plays very nice. Great graphics and runs smooth.
Now why would they say its not compatible but it seems to run fine. Are there other apps/games out there that I/we may be missing out on that will actually work on our phones? Just wondering if anyone has tried it to confirm that it also runs fine on their phones.
Jim Weda
If it says that its not compatible, how come the market let you download it? Or did you sideload...
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
When I scanned the barcode at the website I found the article at it gave me the option to open in browser. It took me to the Market. Here's the link if you want to see if it takes you there also. First try to do a search on your phone and see if it shows up. If not, scan the barcode at this website or if you want just go to this link for the market.
Barcode: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...ng-blood-glory-is-infinity-blade-for-android/
Direct Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbHUuZ2xhZGlhdG9yX25yIl0.
I did just do a search on the Market using a web browser on my computer and it did show up but I on my phone when I saw this app.
Either way, when you get to the app page at the Market it says "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." At least it does on my Epic 4G. Give it a shot and see what it does on your phone or computer. On my phone I just hit download without reading anything because I saw the video on the resourced website. It started downloading. See if you can download it on your phone and see what happens. It should download if it did on mine. I can even take a pic of my phone to show that it is on there and I can load the app.
I've never tried downloading an up that says its not compatible with my phone. Maybe you can download it but it just won't work but for some reason this huge app does work on my phone. Let me know your results.
Jim
Doesn't show up on market search for me. The direct market link you provided works but it will not allow me to download it. I tried loading the page with wifi both on and off, though I haven't tried pushing it from the desktop site.
Looks pretty awesome btw!
Did you try using using the Barcode Scanner, choose "open browser" and then just click the download button right away?
This is the scanner app I used: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5nb29nbGUuenhpbmcuY2xpZW50LmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
after the scanner picked up the code I saw the open browser option and it let me download it.
I'm really just trying to understand why I was able to download it but other people can't. I'm going to try it again but try it on the one that is not [R] and will post back here.
Jim
I tried doing the same thing with the one that is less gruesome or bloody I guess and it won't let me download that one. This is really weird. Anyone know of any other apps that should not be compatible with the Epic 4G. I'd like to try and see if I can download any of those as well.
Also, is there a way I can upload a small video to show that it does work on my phone. I will do a short video with no cuts or breaks and show the phone itself, go into the system info to show I'm running the new GB 2.3.5 update and click on the Blood and Glory app and show that it play fine.
I just tried, no go. Looks l like a good game though.

dtruth313, would mind telling me why your Epic is not running the same update as the one pushed to us? I've been pushed EI22, 2.3.5 but yours is EG22, 2.3.4. Rooted or just a better update. With the Sprint logo I'm guessing you work there. My udate did a great job fixing my phone after constant headaches and pretty much a worthless since Aug 2011. Had a couple lock ups and minor reboots/shutdown but what seems to be cosistent cache build up every 2-4 hours and anywhere from 1 mg to 10 mg roughly which I have to wipe clean manually. I am not roote and don't like task killers. Been doing that since the update and can't pinpoint it to any one particular thing.
I started with clean phone since update and was adding one or two apps at a time to see if that was the culprit but it doesn't seem to be the case. Haven't heard of anyone else colpaining about . Any ideas of what might be causing that? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I should create a thead to see if mine is an isolated case since all three phone I went through on {royo were total nightmares. Gingerbread is the only reason I'm still considering sticking around with Sprint a little longer.
Sorry to go off track but hey, I strted this thread. =)
Jim Weda
jimweda I am running the same update. ei22 gb 2.3.5. I apologize my signature is wrong I have not update it. But I have just started saw it in my market saying not compatible with device. Also it starts to freezes and now after I post it is no longer in the market.
I didn't really play the game, I didn't run into this incompatibility thing you all are. I played the game, it ran fine for the most part. Froze and Crashed one time.
Just played it again, ran fine. Looks pretty great, seems pretty repetitive.
What's with the Glu game starting up and running for no reason? Its creepy I hate any program that thinks it can just start up. I liked Gun Bros but it really pissed me off & the people at Glu never answer emails
Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
I downloaded the game from the market. I use chainfire 3d so that's maybe why I was able to download it.
I sideloaded it. (free game on market) got it to install, and it works great. somewhat fun....got boring real quick. it also gave me the not compatible in the market. I can't find a reason for it to be not compatible at all....maybe rooted rom? (cleanGB)
Here is an easier way lol to get it. here i found the APK for it. just use file manager to install it after putting it in ur SD card. Thank me if i helped you

Dammit...I guess this would've worked before MegaUpload got nailed and FileSonic flipped the f*** out and cancelled any file-sharing ability.
I even tried nabbing this game from Getjar. It also seems to think my Epic 4G is incompatible. The thing I don't understand is that I've been able to download and play this game before. Why would it end up being "incompatible" out of the blue?
I have it running it perfectly on my epic (cm7 and cm9)..you have to download the game from an online site..go to google..look up the current version in the market and google search it...the game runs perfectly finebut it constantly gets updates..whenever the game gets an update, you can't play the game..you are forced to update it in the market...which is impossible so I have to constantly play on airplane mode or google search for an updated version...the game is ok but really repetitive.
p.s. google search the name of "the game", the version and add "apk" at the end....or go to "4shared.com" and look it up
I just downloaded the apk, and then it played fine.... until it said I need to update it (which I couldnt)
not compatible with device
I get not compatible with device when i access the market via phone or computer. So I downloaded the apk from a file share and place it on my sd card via usb and computer. I then installed the game and all is good
Available in the Amazon App store!
I downloaded this game yesterday from the Amazon App store and it works! No messages of incompatibility!

[Q] Ad Blocking

Can someone tell me why I still have ads on my apps?
I am rooted with one-click, installed Calkulin's rom 2.9.2 and went ahead and installed Adfree to see if it would help. Still have ads.
Never had a problem with the rooting or flashing the rom. I have also tried several modems trying to find the best for my phone. I currently have FC18 installed and it seems to be the best so far, Sat. lock is almost instant.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
OP where are you seeing the ads?
Did you run adfree and rebooted your phone ?
I'm on blazer and see ads in tweetcaster. That's the only one as far as I can tell
go to the settings in Addfree.

Odd...that is precisely the core of the ad-block... basically any address that points to that, say ad.doubleclick.net gets redirected internally to the loop address, i.e. it wont be able to load the ad since its being blocked. It could be that the application is getting the ad from somewhere else. Try droid wall.

Package File is Invalid errors with P.A. 3.60

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help. I flashed PA_d2att-3.60-12JUN2013-050113 and pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed today and now I'm not able to download all of my apps from the App store. I was able to get a good amount of apps, but when I tried to put on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, I was getting the Packet File is Invalid message.
I cleared the play store cache from within android but that didn't work. I tried rebooting into TWRP and clearing out all my cache's and that didn't work either.
I saw someone link a 'market fix' app and I even tried that. Nothing seems to be working.
Suggestions?

I'm no help on what the problem is, but I've been having this problem quite a lot lately. I'm on 4.1.1 rooted. Also, the wife's bone stock s4 has been throwing the same error from time to time. I might not be your phone or software. I'm interested to hear other input.

I'll check for new ones. I took that right from the first post on the thread on here. Maybe I misread something....
ahh yeah I saw 3.6 stable and completely missed the 3.69. I'll try it tonight when I get home and charge this thing back up. Hopefully that works.
Just tried installing apps again. This time over wifi rather than LTE. They worked. Weird. I could understand if no apps downloaded over LTE, but I downloaded probably 20 or so and only a handful didn't work.
Oh well. I'll stick with this ROM for the moment and see how it behaves over a few days.
Thanks again for pointing out there was a newer one.
Temporary fix anthill Google fix on they end
Unlike other solutions that I have seen, this actually works: Follow the below simply step carefully to solve this problem
1.download this VPN software(hideman) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b5mato1mtb7vrk/net.hideman_2.1.apk
Or you can still download any other vpn software that can change your ip but I used hideman
2.After you have installed this software on your phone,open it and click on country of connection and choose United State then connect
3. Now open your playstore and download any app
This is just idea from : http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/0...-is-invalid-error-for-many-during-app-updates . I did not take credit for it.
If you go to settings apps all...and wipe data/cache for Google services framework your good.
