[Q] 4shared .bin issues

All of a sudden when I try to download files through 4shared they wont work because they are .bin files. Is bthere a way to make them work or what. It seems like they are all changing. It sucks.

Sounds like you have an app on your phone that' s conflicting.
What file manager are you using? What what are you downloading m

Astro. Some files will download fine, then some say they wont work with the phone. I dont get it. One file I was trying to download was root explorer. All of the links are .bin files. I didnt think it would be anything on the phone. Sometimes I will look for something, it will give me several download options and versions. some work some dont.

Figured out one thing. If I download the .apk file from 4shared on my laptop and transfer to my phone then install through Astro it works. If I try download through 4shared site on phone that is when some not all files say they are .bin . Whats that all bout?

I think if you go to settings in astro and hit download unsupported content or something like that they will work hope I helped

Thats not the problem. Astro works fine. Its when I select a download from the actual 4shared website through the phone some files say its not supported on this phone. But if I download the exact same file through my laptop and then install through astro the file installs as an apk. and works fine. I just want to know if anyone else is seeing this or what. Its just puzzling.

Hey all you have to do is when the .bin appears to save and name the file just type whatever.apk. so if your downloading let's say NFL.apk in it appears as .bin just type NFL.apk and download and save. Then goto astro and install.

Thanks to all. I will give it a shot.

Confirmed this is the correct way to do this. I was having this same issue when I was trying to reinstall Swype.

Nice, thanks for the tip. I too was having that problem, I dont use astro, just OI and root explorer. Renaming the .bin. to xxx.apk installs the app.

I think its been happening to everyone

astro file manager license

hi, i purchased astro file manager a while ago and after an firmware update i cant seem to find the astro pro key anymore in the android market . when i go to the webste of android market. i see it there but is shows "this app is not co;patible with your device. but i installed it on this device in the first place. what to do? any help?

Try finding the direct .APK to it and install it manually.
here a link I found, didnt test it personally
so, XDA wont allow me to post a link as im new here. so I went on google and Searched for "Astro Pro .apK " the first link is to the App. download it, move it to your SD and Install it from the basic Astro.
Cheers!

[Q] Download Unsuccessful

I have a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and im having minor issues. Why is it when I try to download a zip files it says unsuccessful? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to enable something or download an app? Everytime I see something on XDA that I wantt download, I just simply cant.

It's the stock browser blocking the download. Try Opera or Dolphin HD.

I tried Dolphin and it downloads the zip file, but it gives me a warning message that no application has been found to open this file. I also tried an Opera and the same thing. Do I need a specific app in order to open them?

Thank you, it worked.

What's a good download manger.

My downloads keep failing, and it sucks having to restart them from 0%, is there a app that will allow me to resume failed downloads? Ty
Edit: Crap not where I wanted to put this...

I don't know of one but you could try opera mobile browser. It is very good with downloads.

Install this. It will let you download nearly any file in the stock browser.
Download this file and rename the extension to .apk instead of .txt

[A]Why can't I download zips?

I'm not sure why, I could never download zips or large files to this phone. My last phone, The HTC Hero, was able to do this with no problem. Any ideas ?

using opera mobile I can download any zips. although if you are in a place with crappy 3g it might fail and you would have to do it again. when I can I download mine over wifi

install androzip and then try

You need a app associated with the file type to download. There is a app called download all files or something that will associate with all file types in order to download.

Download astro file manager from the market. open astro, hit the file manager button then the menu button and click on Preferences then scroll down to enable browser download, just click enable and youre good to go

Thank you the Astro fix seems to work.
