Incomplete downloads (not market) - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a problem, ITS ON WIFI
Every time I try to download stuff from the browser, it compleates succesfully but its not the actual size.
I downloaded a rom, its supposed to b 10mb and when I click d/l it right away says succesful but its only 25kb or random size. I thought it was lack of storage but its not.
It happends with everything I d/L from browser(stock,skyfire)
Please help

Possibly try dolphin. If not, try desktop mode. Sometimes it works. Also make sure if you're using 3g to not have the WLAN ONLY switch on.

is this on 3g or wifi?
if its on 3g i think (personal opinion btw) the 3g connection is not able to handle rom sized downloads so after so long it thinks its just timed out cuz sprint(aka towers or whatever) think we are being ridiciuos trying to download a file of that size over 3g
could be wrong (known to happen) or something else

Are you sure you aren't losing connection in the middle of download? That has happened to me, and it timed out.

ITS ON WIFI.
Right after I click "download file" on the browser, I can see its loadin on the notification bar and then right away it says , download complete. Which is not cus its not the size its supposed 2b

Have you tried reflashing the rom? Or flashing a different build?
Wiped cache/dalvik in recovery? If you don't feel like Reflashing right away, that is.
You can open the downloads app and turn off "download on WLAN only" if you have the option. Or turn it on if it's off. Even though it's on wifi, maybe this could help. While you're there, retry any failed downloads. I had the same problem on the stock browser on MIUI, retrying over & over until it downloaded would eventually work. I didn't have the problem on xScope or Opera Mobile.
Note that I'm going backwards in order of things to try, that's just how they popped into my head.

Where can I find that option to WLan only, I'm on cm7
And if u mean the stock downloads app, there's no option there for that,
The thing is the d/ls are not failing they r just not the size they supposed to be.

Try using decks 1.3D with tiamat 3.3.7 kernel. My assumption is that it is because you are using cm7. Cm7 has always had problems and made my phone all screwy in one way or another because they build it for so many different devices and when they fix something for one phone, it breaks something else for another phone. Decks is based off of cm7 but he made it the way it should be... FLAWLESS. All you have to do is add adw launcher and you have the cm7 launcher that your used to. If that doesn't work then pm me and ill see if I can help you out
P.s. I have never had problems with decks 1.3D so it should be worth a shot

Ima give it a try, I noticed it ONLY happens when I try to download ZIP files FROM THE BROWSER(stock, skyfire,dolphin) , cus everything else downloads fine exept when I try to download roms, which r in zips
Whyyyyy
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Is it happening on wifi only at location? Or is it happening on wifi everywhere? Is your SD card ok? Have you backed up your SD card, reformatted it and then tried again? If that doesn't work then I would suggest trying another ROM.

Wifi everywhere BUT I just tried firefox and it worked, I didnt try it at first cus I always had problems with the beta but now its working with the stable firefox
SomeHow its only happening with other brwosers exepta firfox, still kinda want to know why. Maybe a bad flash of the rom?
Thanks for suggestions tho

[Q] Problem With Download Sites Like 4shared and Rapidshare

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.

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.

Didn't help.thanks for trying.

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?

Go into settings and uncheck the mobile view, the countdown will work with the desktop page.

Someone in another thread suggested clearing data and uninstalling the market update and letting it redownload and install again. I have done this and have gotten better results. Although, the last couple of days when I try clicking on My apps it says the connection was lost. Market has been flaky at best for me lately.
Its a common bug on the market. When it happens to me I just wait a little while and try again later. Really nothing i found that you can do to fix it when it happens. Oh well at least it works now. Well I'm wrong sometimes when it wont work ill switch to my wifi and then sometimes it will work.

Help

Can someone tell me why when I am on Cm7 I can't access my bank account online I keep getting a error from the website but when I'm on a sense Rom everything is fine
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Probably because it's a hacked rom, and with hacked rom's things dont work as they should...
There's nothing "hacked" about CyanogenMod.
OP, can you explain in greater detail what you mean when you say you can't access your bank account? Do you drop your phone when your trying to type your password every time you're on CyanogenMod? Do you get some sort of error message? Could you share the error message? It's hard to help when we don't know any details.

What I meant was, the rom is not designed to work on this phone, therefore with cm7 (or any rom) there are things that wont work.

Web pages don't load on 4g or wifi

I have an evo that was shipped on 2.3.4 hardware version 004 and on every rom I've tried except the stock one I have a problem where whenever I'm on 4g or wifi web pages only load to 75% then stop and say loading indefinitely, 3g works fine, I have good 4g signal and my wifi works on my laptop just fine, I have had this problem especially bad on cyanogen, currently I'm running fresh 4.2 and the problem occurs intermittently apps that use data however, always work ie Pandora Facebook ect , does anybody know what this is?

Did you wipe the cache via Recovery or just using the browser? I imagine they are different. Clear the cache in the browser and clear your downloads and history. Have you tried using a different browser to see if it is specifically the stock browser or something more sinister?
I DO use adfree and I wiped both caches, RA recovery and the browser's. Is adfree the problem?

I would make sure that your host file is up to date and if it's not then do it and check the browser.
If it is, try reverting and see if it corrects the issue.
It is adfree, 4g and wifi work flawlessly now, what a bummer, I guess ill have to deal with advertising.

Download stops at 99% and fails!!

Is anyone having issues downloading files on your device? This is a first one for me. I have more than enough memory on both sd cards but my downloads fail at 99%. I've tried different roms to see if maybe it was just the one I was running but they all seem to have the same results. I've been trying to download Jovys Stockorama v2 but it keeps failing. Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this to happen? Thanks in advance guys!

I've had issues in the past downloading large files over mobile connection. With a solid 5-15mbit downstream. Just times out for no reason. One day I can download my CM update, the next day I can't.
Use computer or wifi.
Yeah this is the 1st time is happened to me. Unfortunately my WiFi is down at the moment and I won't get another modem till the end of the week.

Have you tried downloading it with Download Manager? I have had that issue using the stock download app before but it works fine with the Download Manager app.
I didn't even think to do that! I'm going to try it right now and see if it works for me. Will update shortly
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've had this problem when I'd use boat browser, it would always fail at 99%. Wouldn't matter what I'd be downloading. The way i got past it was by installing dolphin browser and use that.
I actually used dolphin too and I had the same errors. I am using download manager right now to see if it works. I had a hard time connecting to the server I think they were having issues. I'm at 50% at the moment. I hope it works!!

I am having the same issue with larger files, usually I just try a different browser until one finally works (ie Chrome, Dolphin, xScope, Next Browser, Lightning, Boat Browser, Firefox, Opera, etc. - Usually one out of two or three will work.)
Question for Aerowinder AND anyone reading this running CM10.1, are you getting hotboots (random reboots without the SGS3 boot logo) on CM10.1? --- I've had this happen a lot when I'm taking the time to download these files on WiFi... I read somewhere that the d2mo CM Team is working on a new kernal to solve such issues, but its a pain when doing such tasks on WiFi...
I tried download manager but it downloaded with errors. It also took twice as long to download. Which app are you using?

Is it just the one file it's doing this on? Or all large files?

I was able to download detmobilized on their dev-host mirror link. I tried other files but was unable to download all the way. Maybe it also depends on the server. This is the 1st time I've had issues.

On stockorama download page, scroll down a little and you can choose a different mirror/server to download from.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I tried all of the mirrors and they're all a no go. I'm going to try the other browsers. I just want to figure it out so it won't happen again
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If the Download Manager didn't work try Opera... It's useless for most things but when I wanted to download something and nothing else was doing it, opera never failed.
