I cant download files from 4Shared or rapidshare. all i get is a small file and if i change the extension to HTML you can see that the file is actually a new page to download the file from with a higher timer.
I tried wiping browser data.
I tried wiping cache/dalvik.
I tried a fresh wipe with the stock rom and no apps installed.
i tried CM6.
i tried different browsers (Opera, xScope, Dolphin)
i tried the download plugin setting in astro and linda file managers.
I tried using the tornado download manager.
just cant think of anything else. this all used to work for me and i'm not sure when exactly it stopped. currently using Fresh 3.2 with the kernel it comes with. this problem doesnt happen on megaupload.
Please help! anyone have any ideas?
I had this happen once... I am assuming you are downloading on your evo. When downloading, make sure the phone stays awake(touching screen), or disable the screen to sleep, and monitor the progress in the notifications dropdown to ensure you are getting the full download.
Yep my screen stays awake. Monitoring it in downloads doesn't help.
Just to be clear this happens on 3g and wifi.

Then I don't have an answer!
Good luck.
possibly an issue with those 2 roms? I've seen people mention that issue before, but I've never had an issue with that on Baked Snack with the stock browser.
Ok just tried baked snack 1.7
No luck.
Wiped everything twice with RA.
Thanks for trying though.

This has happened to me on a consistent basis since owning the evo on every rom I've flashed. The only one that worked for me 100% of the time was mediafire.
That so strange. Now its not working for me either. I havent downloaded to my phone in a while, but I specifically remember 4share always worked fine for me. Sorry man - don't know what's going on.

4shared worked a couple times for me today! Maybe it was a problem with the website.
Edit: that one link still doesn't work

If you are using any type of add blocker on your evo... turn it off.... alot of legit redirect links get blocked by these apps.

Can't use opera. The timer doesn't run once the page loads.

It may have something to do with the browser identifying as mobile. My Samsung Moment did it too when I tried to download other zips and rars using the stock browser. I know what your talking about, it downloads about 5k and says complete. Also it sucks balls wlhaving to wait 180 seconds to download a ROM, at least use mediafire folks!
UAString set to desktop. Mobile view turned off.
Still no luck.

4shared works great for me, but lately when I download something the timer takes ages to finish. If it says your download will be ready in 15 seconds, it could take a minute or so for it to be ready, any ideas?

Hi,
The Samsung Continuum is rooted courtesy Z4Root One Click App. You can either get it from official thread here or follow the instructions posted here. don't know if there are any custom ROM for continuum yet.

Z4root is down from the market. I don't really about other countries, but here keyword search is showing nothing as Z4root. Can you please check if Z4root is available in your market?

I stand corrected... I just downloaded it from the market about a week ago so I assumed it was still there. It is gone now.
No word on any developers working on ROMs for this thing yet...

I temporarily rooted no problem with z4root, removed tons of Verizon bloatware.

Be careful with that. OTAs may look for all of their bloatware before installing... It could make upgrading to Froyo more difficult.
Can anyone confirm whether the Fascinate Clockwork Recovery works on the Continuum. I read on another forum that it does, but would like some better confirmation before I try it out....
Of course, that doesn't really matter until we get some ROMs going..... Please, devs, we need you....
Continuum ROM
I have the source code from Samsung and would work on a ROM if someone could get me started. This is my first Android and I rooted with Z4. I deleted a bunch of Verizon crap and now am having outgoing text messages not getting to some recipients. I would love a stock ROM.
I came from using the Nexus One. XDA forums for that device were loaded with devs and goodies. I miss all the action and running Cyanogen ROMs.
What ROMs are best for the other Galaxy S devices? I'd offer a small donation to get the ball rolling.

I for some reason cannot root using z4root. Have downloaded it from here and also the Market on the Samsung Continuum and it does not seem to work. After installing and loading, touching permanent/temporary root seems to have no effect. The 'loading' graphic sits there and the app hangs at running the exploit. Sometimes it even locks the phone to the point where I can only get it to respond by pulling out the battery.
USB debugging is enabled on the device running: 2.1-update1
Build number SCH-I400.DJ20
If you need any other info (or if I am missing something) let me know.
It took me a few tries, but I was successful with the temporary root.

texting issue
HI All,
I posted above about having texting issues after removing bloatware. It turns out that it was the way Google was adding a +1 to my phone numbers. Back to customizing. Z4 worked for me.

Seems to be par for the course with z4. Something randomly done or happens with the phone and by some sort of divine intervention or coincidence it's then rooted.
I also had issues with z4, hardlocked the phone the first time. Second time it FC'd. Third time I was waiting and got a text message. As I was replying to it, z4 popped back up and said rebooting phone. It rebooted and it was rooted.
I actually got it to work after trying and trying and trying. Now to find a Google Quick Search widget that isn't bugged and doesn't stick to the top of the homescreen after clicking on/touching/using it.
Finally got my phone rooted with Z4. Now can't connect to my computer. Gives me the option on whether to use a media card or USB storage. Chose both options (not at same time) and neither worked. Am tempted to remove root as it connected prior to rooting. Has anyone connected after rooting? Any help?
Thanks
Not sure what your issue is. I have my phone rooted and have no problem mounting my phone to my PC.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is USB debugging checked or unchecked under settings, apps? Probably missing something stupid..
(I posted this in the main Android Apps forum, but as I have an Inc, I figured I'd double up...)
Is anyone else having issues with Awesome Drop? I hadn't used it for a week or so until yesterday. I dragged my file into the browser window and then nothing happened. The file showed up in the Awesome Drop window on my laptop browser, but the transfer didn't occur. I've tried it several times in the interim with no success. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I've tried in both Chrome and FF.
Dumb question but did you make sure to open it on your phone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Haha. Yes. Each time I also reset the PIN to make sure that wasn't goofing things up. Is the app working for you? If I know the server is routing files for others, then the problem is on my end. If others are having issues, it's likely on Awesome Drop's (Dashwire Labs) end.
It worked for me as of yesterday

Would you mind trying it again with a small file to confirm it's STILL working? This is driving me crazy... I'd appreciate it.
Worked with the ADW2Beta.apk file. It's about 0.58 mb

Arrrrgh. Thanks so much. Now I get to figure out what's corrupted on my end. Sigh.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Yep. I've uninstalled, wiped the Dalvik cache, tried restoring from Ti...no luck. Browsing, Chrome to Phone, texts...they all work without a hitch. For the life of me I don't know what's gone sideways here... It's really frustrating, too, because Awesome Drop is my go-to solution for a lot of file transfers. What browser do you use? Are you stock or using a custom ROM? (I'm on CM7.)
Stock Froyo (2.2.1) rooted. And Chrome on Mac. Are you on the right Wi-Fi? I know it seems like a stupid question but you'd be surprised at how often it's simple things like that
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Ah, I wish it were that simple. I just confirmed that I can send files to a buddy's phone from my laptop...thus, I've managed to tweak something in the dark recesses of my phone. As I've been delaying my plan to flash a nightly version of CM 7, I guess the wait is over! Thanks again for verifying that the app worked.
Do you have a NANDROID from earlier that you could flash to to see if that would fix it? Then try to isolate the.problem in the data entering and leaving the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I know there is someone who has encountered this problem. I know its mostly Google's retarded faulty programming that is causing this and I've Googled it and I still can't find a solution. I cleared data and cache, reboot it, accept terms, yet when I try to buy an app, I still get the same problem. I've had this happen before. I'm on the OTA Gingerbread Plus ROM.

I think it might be the ROM. I talked to Android Market support. And I was able to sign in on my mom's phone and bought an app. Here is the ROM I'm using.

Gotcha, glad you were able to figure it out. If it helps, you should contact Jermaine151 and let him know of your issue. I want to say that was an anomaly since Stock Plus is a popular rom.

Well it will be when I get the market he'll put in the post so I can flash it. But I'm glad its not my phone lol

Same thing here (in Firefox). I Google'd it and found that other people having the same problem on other sites too. I checked one of those sites and the same thing happened, page loads a little-bit and then get the blank page when ads.pubmatic.com is being accessed.
The funny thing is I blocked pubmatic.com and ads.pubmatic.com in my hosts file and it's still happening. It doesn't seem to happen in Chrome, though.
For me, I notice when I try to go back in internet explorer it takes like 15 clicks, so I actually use the mouse and click the tab on the top of the xda webpage. If I right click the back arrow for the browser it lists a bunch of ads, which explains why it takes so many clicks to get back. It is like this on every computer I have used xda on recently. Xda is the only site that I have this issue.

Having the same problem accessing this site from my laptop as well ..... arrrrrgh, its also affecting transformer forums. Anyone found a way to fix this problem yet
Blocking via hosts file doesn't appear to work, nor does blocking "ads.pubmatic.com" in Adblock Plus. After configuring the latter, the page still hangs, only this time on google-analytics.com, so now I'm not sure if it's pubmatic.com or something else.
I came across older (2008, 2009) results in Google reporting the same problem with pubmatic.com, so I really have no idea what's going on.

Thanks for letting us know, that's good to know there's one way to fix it.
That's not an option for me, unfortunately. There are still add-ons that I can't use outside of FF 3.6x. I'd rather know what exactly is going on and fix it without updating to the FF-Version-of-the-Month.

No problem, will continue to check back to see if you or someone else comes up with another option. I cleared caches, checked add-ons, firewalls rebooted routers and machines and had no luck. It works fine with Chrome as well.
Good luck
Glad I wasn't the only one having this issue, also thanks bimgirl for finding a work around even though I too hate newer versions of Firefox past 3.6.1.6 I will try chrome out.

No, it's definitely not you. I've come across several posts today from various other sites from people who have been experiencing this issue over the past 3-4 days.
I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but many of them are running vBulletin. The issue seems to be restricted to Firefox.
Even after blocking a bunch of pubmatic.com sites in my hosts file, the issue is still happening, only the blank page hangs on www.google-analytics.com. I didn't want to go as far as blocking that, but I did anyway in my Hosts file with no success.
I came across this plug-in that I'm going to try out. This is an official Google addon that allows you to opt-out of google-analytics.com tracking.
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (BETA)
To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.
If you want to opt-out, download and install the add-on for your current web browser. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera.

Click to collapse
EDIT: No dice. I installed the addon and now the hanging blank page stops loading. It still jumps to the blank page.
One other comment I read suggested that the sites themselves should verify that they've put the Google Analytics code at the very bottom of their page templates where it belongs. But I would assume that the GA code was put in place a long time ago, and doubt that would be the issue here.
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
Success!
I added "www.google-analytics.com" to my hosts file, in addition to "google-analytics.com" and everything is fine now.
One thing I didn't try was to only use the Google opt-out addon, without adding any "google-analytics" entries to my hosts file.
If someone who prefers not to alter their hosts file wants to try it the addon-only way, please let us know if it works for you.
Thanks, folks!
