I'm new to the galaxy section so give me a little break. My previous 2 devices never had this issue.
How to you enable the phone to download files(any files) through your 4g network or even wiring?
I cannot seem to be able to download ANYTHING to my phone regardless of wifi or 4g.
I can download from the market which works fine. Its only downloads.from like multi upload and stuff.

I've had the issue as well. I tried many different sites. Typically megaupload worked for me but not on this device. I have no workaround that I have found yet and can suggest.
Download Astro file manager from the market its free, then open it, go under file manager/ then scroll the top tabs right to "preferences" and put a check mark next to enable browser downloads. Works for me.

Thanks! I'll try this out!
I use "Download all files" from the market because astro didn't work for me. Give it a try if you find yourself in my situation.

Opera Mobile is also better about downloading files.
I noticed this issue with the browser too. I installed FireFox mobile and it works great for downloading from Multiupload!
yea i had the same problem. it has something to do with the browser, now i am using dolphin Browser HD and no problems i can download from any website i want. so just download another browser from market.
try dolphin HD. works amazing
Dolphin HD is much slower than Opera Mobile and has trouble with sites like fileserve.

i made another post regarding download issues with my Inc 2 but it has come to my attention that certain browsers now block you from being able to download stuff like .mp3 files. that being the case, I currently use the stock browser, dolphin hd and skyfire. downloads dont seem to work with any of them.
does anyone know of a browser that will allow you to download media?... and to let you know, i can download torrents just fine with adownloader.

Download astro file manager. Go into preferences and check the box to allow browser downloads.
I've had other phones that would not allow me to download anything until this was done.
I have "Download All Files" installed and have been able to use that when email attachments or other downloads fail to make it to my SD for whatever reason. I'm not a big fan of the option to use it popping up almost every time I click a link though...
Whenever I try to download an APK from the browser it says my phone doesn't support that file type. I think I remember it being able to before. Any ideas?

I use Xscope. It isn't free I don't think. Honestly, don't get it. haha
I use dolphin browser hd. Also have your unknown sources checked in the application settings.
Make sure you have some type of file browser installed, otherwise you will get this error. I think, one comes installed but not sure.

The stock browser has this problem. When download some files, it will have some kind of check. Once it found something incompatible, it will notify user and prevent them from downloading. Maybe you could try other browser. Recommend Boat Browser. It supports pause/resume/retry when downloading. You can find it in Android market.
I enabled astro's download anything for stock browser but I told me I have to dissable the setting anytime I want to download a attachment in gmail. Kinda lame :-(

Hello I'm sorry if this has already been brought up but I was unable to find it and the search button is not functioning on my old computer.
Everytime I attempt to download from XDA (of course I am signed in) I immediately get a download unsuccessful message. I have tried Opera Mini, Dolphin HD browser and also have cleaned all cache, history, and data from browsers.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks Jeremy
Get the app "Download all files"

What I do is hit menu then more and then hit browser and select opera. It will open what u are looking at into the browser then u should be able to download what u need. I have the same problem.

That's only needed for the stock browser. He is using opera and dolphin.

Well I have this issue from all 3 browsers. I will try both suggestions anyhow. Just can't believe I need an app to download files that my evo did without blinking. Kinda BS.

+1 for download all files. fixes the issue no matter what the browser is
Has anyone been experiencing this issue? I can pretty much download anything in a 'third party' browser like Dolphin HD, but my question is with the stock browser. I'm not a Dolphin fan since that whole "capture you information" issues with them, so I been getting myself use to use the stock browser that came with our SGS2..
I only had my AWESOME phone for only a week.. I came from a HTC G2, which I never had this problem.
How come I can't download anything? It would say download unsuccessful. If I go into downloads and press on the it, it would say "Download Failed. Can not download. The content is not supported on this phone.". I'm trying to download simple MP3s from the Coast to Coast AM site..
I never experienced this issue with my G2 on any browser. On my new SGS2, it can only be downloaded from third party browsers...
Any guesses?
It seems (as I type this post) someone in the G2X forums has also been experiencing this issue HERE.
Download astro file manager and I. Settings enable browser download. It'll let you use stock browser for dl. Its not a bug it happens with most stock browsers.

Or you can use Opera Mobile Browser. That lets you download straight from the server link.
I'm having a huge problem downloading rars or zips whether it be on 4g or WIFI or with dolphin browser, stock, or skyfire. I get errors as ssoon as the download starts every time. I can't figure out if this is some sort of block attempt from sprint / Samsung on filesharing/hosting sites or if its just my phone. Anyone have any insight on this? Driving me crazy

Try the app "Download all files" - know that works for me. Usually it's a lack of file association.
Opera mobile works for me.

I have no.idea.why but download.all.files.refuses to assosiate its self with files.until after I download them which is rare and I get the same results on opera.mobile

check the download directory. Dolphin>Settings>More>Settings>Privacy & Personal Data and see if there is something in there. Check you 'download' directory too (sdcard/download).

But it is dowloading now, right? That solves your first problem.
Opening a rar will require an app and there are free ones out there on Play.
Sent from my SPH-D710
No they do not download what so ever on wifi 3g or 4g all browsers will just pop up and say error. I'm really thinking its just sprint blocking filesharing sites or something internally wrong with my phone. Its the same thing for downloading roms, tools for roms, or even music that's contained in rars. It just refuses to downlaod things off of browsers.
Edit: it appears to be a memory problem with the internal storage switched it to external dl location and it started working.I was unaware cuz this was previously my girls phone. Thanks for the responses and help.
