Brand new Gnex like everybody else.
Every time I try to download something from the browser I'm getting a download unsuccessful error, but if everywhere else downloads work.
For example if i'm in the xda forum app and somebody post a download that shows up in the app it goes straight through but if I have to click on a link and try to download it, it doesn't work.
Also if I pull up a picture in the browser and long press and save picture it doesn't work but i can set it as a wallpaper no problem.

This picture right here didn't work for me.
I'm still completely stock right now. haven't rooted or changed bootloader and running stock browser
I was playing around with my buddies nexus and found the same problem. A work around I found was to go into the Download app in the drawer, find your download, long press it until it gives you a retry option. Might take at least two tries but the file finally downloaded

Same problem here. My workaround is just to download on my PC, and use Dropbox to move it to my Gnex.

Yeah that's what I've been doing while at work in front of my computer, but that's not really a workaround since you can only do it when you are in front of a pc.
Any updates on this?
***SOLVED***
In settings, go to "Apps", select the "All" tab, go down and find "Download Manager", press the "Force Stop" button, then press the "Clear Data" button. Reboot and you can download again.
Download astro file manager. In prefs - enable browser downloads.

This didn't fix it for me and also you don't want that because that will make Astro the download manager. You want the stock one to work either way. Try my fix above first.
Also try
1. Clear cache for "Browser" in the Apps menu.
2. Clear cache and dalvik-cache in CWM and reboot.
3. If you have Astro already installed, try uninstalling it.
All else fails, repeating these 3 steps plus the fix I posted above in this order.
This worked thank you

This was happening to me and I tried everything I could think of to fix it including wiping data on market, uninstalling updates, factory reset phone, and wiping cache in download manager. I finally figured out that it would only fail when on wifi. Turning it off would let me download. I finally gave up trying to fix it. Funny thing is it works now though. I recommend just giving it a day. It may fix itself. It did for me.

I've had this problem before with stock browsers on phones. My solution is to use dolphin browser and set it to default.

I've countless threads and people recommended this or Opera mini. I don't consider any of these a solution. It's just a "workaround" since the original issue is not resolved. What I found was the solution. Highly recommend it. Especially considering how nice the stock browser on this phone is.

Yeah, wrong section. This would be a Q&A thread. Anyways, the best way to fix it is to do a factory reset. There are some problems reported after running the update without wiping, so definitely wipe to make sure everything is working.
remove adobe flash and reinstall it. works perfect afterwards

I was also have the browser issue, and I did that, and now it doesn't crash, but it does say Adobe Flash player version 9 or high is required when I try to play a video... and if I try uninstalling flash player, it says cannot be uninstalled...
Anyone have the exact name .apk of the flash player so I can delete it via root explorer?
Fix
EDIT: Mkay if your getting problems with Flash player, set your cache on your browser to the second highest under 8MB, then install the flash.apk from here, and boom! Working flash

Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.
First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?
Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x
Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.
If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.
Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.
Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!
No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.
I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.
idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

the download worked for my cousin.
when she held the home button it opens the most recent apps. and she had the browser there. she opened up the broswer and typed that in. and it worked now she has adw launcher.
I just got my phone today and updated to 4.0.2. I had trouble installing Swype Installer (downloaded via browser) earlier but I was able to after a reboot. Now I'm trying to download Nova and it won't go, even after a couple of reboots.
The install screen comes up, I can expand the permissions menu, and click cancel, but clicking install gets absolutely no response. Also, unknown sources is checked in the security settings.
Any thoughts?

Hey, never heard of that before dude. Did you download the apk file for swype using your phone? Or did you download it and then copy it to your phone?
Maybe and this is just a shot in the dark try doing it one of the "other" ways above.
So if you downloaded it through your phone's browser try downloading on your computer and then transferring over. It is the only think I can think of that might work as I had an issue with an apk before similar to this and once I downloaded the file and copied it to the phone it worked fine.
Anyhow it's a long shot but thought I would say it Good luck.

If you have Screen Filter running then you should disable it before clicking Install. It is a known compatibility issue, otherwise just install it with adb:
adb install <path_to_apk>

Try going into downloads and cancelling it? Reboot not stopping it is odd, if that doesn't work kill and clear data on the downloads app.

The app says that it saves to SD/downloadmanager. The folder was empty. The app didn't have a folder I could easily identify either. Didn't even think to try uninstalling the app (slaps palm against forehead.) So I did that. We'll see.

I'm stock rooted. A couple of days ago I started having problems installing apps. The app will download but the install button won't work. Its like I'm not pushing it. I can hit cancel and cancel the install but I can't install. I got around this problem by installing via my file explorer but today I tried updating my Swype Beta and it wouldn't install. I can't install it via ES file explorer. I don't know what to do. I can download it but the install button doesn't execute. I tried powering down. I tried clearing cache from Swype and Swype installer.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, I renamed the Swype updater app that downloaded to my phone. It showed as a .download and I made it .apk. I was then able to install it via ES file explorer. I updated Green Power Premium (battery saving app) recently. I thought that might be the culprit but I stopped it and froze Swype with Titanium and tried to reinstall it and still no dice. Install button still doesn't work.
Bring rooted may be holding you back. I would say go and root and then try it from there with something like Rom Toolbox.
I have a similar problem for ex. when I make a phone call and I get the automated voice to hit a number like 1 or 2 it doesn't respond, another one is like on gmail manual refresh button and sometimes when browsing. This doesn't happen all the time thou. I got mine getting checked out but I got a feeling that its going to get replaced because it happened while the doc. was checking it out.

Sorry, my brain isn't work today
Rom Toolbox works well with deodexed roms (not so much Odex). If you are into custom with a stock feel I cannot give more than enough props to Macksrom. If not use the Sextape 1 click back to stock Odin restore and re-do the root process from there. Unless you have a backup from when it was working.
I don't know if this helps but did you recently install an app like GMD S-Pen? I had that installed and it took me forever to figure out that the app was responsible for not letting me click the install button. I would try uninstalling recently installed apps to see if it works.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried uninstalling the last 7 apps I downloaded one at a time. I would uninstall one with Titanium backup then test to see if install button worked. It didn't work. I tried a 2nd app then test again and nothing. 3rd app uninstalled then test again. Still no luck getting install button to work. I gave up after uninstalling 7 apps. I know that the install button not working started happening recently (less than 7 apps ago).
Its bugging me that I can't figure it out. Like I said I can install apps after they download with ES file explorer but not with the native install button. Can I find the native installer in Applications Manager and clear defaults or something? Is so what's it called?
Okay, I finally found the problem. It WAS an app that I installed after all. After searching online I finally realized it was my screen filter. "Screen Filter" app dims the phone so you can read while in a dark room. It dims the phone even further than the darkest default dim setting.
There are several dimming applications out there and several auto brightness applications that can cause the same problem I had. I like the application so I will keep it but at least I know what's causing the problem now.
