Hello guys!
I've recently ran into a problem, where whenever I try to download anything from the internet using a browser, the download starts, but immediately gets paused and I'm not able to resume the download.
The download shows up in the Download Manager, but I'm not able to restart it from there.
The issue came of after installing the leaked Open Beta 9 few weeks ago, and present since. Currently I'm using FreedomOS 2.1, but before that, I was on Open Beta 9, first on the leaked one, then on the official one.
I've been through multiple full wipes, full flashes, the problem keeps sticking.
Tried to download with other browsers, Chrome Dev, Chrome Canary, Firefox, Dolphin, even tried using multiple Download Managers, none of them solved my problem.
Also tried clearing the cache of the Download Manager system app, resetting permissions for each app, tinker with Data Saver settings, without any luck whatsoever.
Please, if anybody has any possible solutions, suggestions, or anything regarding this problem, help me solve this.
Thank you!
Solution:
Somehow, I managed to find a solution.
When I wiped my entire phone storage, including the internal one while installing open beta 9, I made the Download folder manually to put the flashable files in. This was the problem, after renaming the folder, the OS created a new one and now all of my downloads are working correctly.

My Desire has developed a problem downloading from the internet.
I used to be able to download a PDF quite happily, but now it when I download a PDF it saves it as .bin the first time then -1.bin, then -2.bin etc.
I've checked with a desktop browser and the files download as thecorrectname.pdf.
Also Opera works fine.
Has anyone else had the problem and fixed it?
Desire is on T-Mobile UK - Froyo.
I have Astro file manager installed (has been for months), which I'm having to use to rename the file downloaded before I can open it.
I've tried Enable Browser Downloads in Astro (and disabling it)
I've also used Astro to Edit File Extensions and reset back to default ones.
It's still the same after restarting the phone.
As you can see I'm clutching at straws.
I guess it must be just me then.
I'll have to reset it then, see if that works.
It won't work
Mine is doing exacly the same. Reset does not help.
No remedy so far.

Thanks for letting me know
I don't know if it is related but it started happening after I installed a game boy emulator.
I've removed it since but still no joy.
Download your pron somewhere else?
I am unable to install apps from the market. I can access the market and select the apps but all I get is starting downloads which doesn't change even if I leave for hours. I have WI-FI enabled and can access the web with no problems. Here is what I have tried already.
Clear Data in Downloader,
Clear Data and Cache in market
Factory reset
Flashed to CyanogenMod 7
and I still cannot download any apps.
If you have s-off you could try deleting the market.apk file and then reinstalling from a non market source? If you search xda I'm sure I remember several threads about this.
I had this problem a few times. Have you recently changed your Gmail (If you use Gmail) address from @googlemail to @gmail? This is what caused the problem for me and many others...

I never did work out what was causing the problem. I installed CyanogenMod 7 and all is work again.
Yea, sometimes just a reflash fixes the problem. I also found that, sometimes, the download would just finish but never actually install - almost as if the .apk downloaded but the Market Process just never actioned the new .apk to open, so it just sat in /cache until the next reboot, doing nothing.
log in to google talk...i think that should solve the issue.
Anyone having an issue with being able to download from the Amazon App Store. I have tried several different JB 4.1.1 ROMs and have the same issue with all. When trying to download an app from AMazon App store, the download fails. I also get download failures when trying to download a book from Audible which Amazon owns.
It is definitely a permission issue. I believe it from recovering my old data after flashing. It also affects Pocket Casts. I have tried using ClockworkMod and ROM Manger to fix the permissions. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the apps but still the downloads fail. Suggestions or ways to fixed the permissions?
Since the sdcard is virtual and is located under data/media, I uninstalled the apps and delete all information under data/media referring to the apps. reinstalled and everything is working.

I am running BAMF Paradigm and have the same problem. I linked my nexus to the PC with debugging activated. Found and deleted all three Amazon Files (Android/Data/com.amazon.venezia; Download/Amazon_Appstore-rlease.apk; mnt/sdcard/download/Amazon_Appstore-release.apk). Reinstalled app and the same thing (toggle between Download queued and download starting until finally says download failed)
I have also tried deleting all Amazon files and Rebooting, but then the Android/Data/com.amazon.venezia is back on my phone and the same cycle is repeated after I download and install the amazon appstore and try to download an app. Every other app is running great. Appreciate your suggestions.
Fixed Permissions in Recovery...Working Now.
Hi,
sorry if I ask something that was maybe already answered, but i didnt find a matching Thread. If i am in the wrong section please move the Thread to the correct one.
I have a Nexus 5. Lately i replaced the original Marshmallow with Lineage 14.1. The process seemed to word as I could launch and use it. But when I tried to download something through my Browser i get an error. I tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera, too. When i wanted to copy a File by MyPhoneExplorer into Download Folder igot an error "unautorized". When i try to create a folder in Download i get prompted that I need root.
So I think somehow I dont have writing permissions there. Is this a known thing?
For installing i unlocked Bootloader by adb and flashed latest TWRP (3.0.3.-0) formated userdata and then copied lineage-14.1-20170124-nightly-hammerhead-signed.zip and a gapps.zip.
My old Backup from google was restored, i can use camera, take calls, play games, install apps etc. So I think the installation worked. Any ideas why I cant write in Download folder? (I can write in Movies though, tried it with MyPhoneexplorer)
I also tried the nightlys from January 31 and February, still no change.
Thank you very much in advance.
I had a similar problem with my Music directory, but after a reboot it came good.

I already did several reboots. I also tried to switch back to older images or the latest one. Still no change. You think i should wipe it an do fresh install?
Edit: Did wipe System, Cache and Data before giving it a new try. Now it works.
Hey everyone, so here's the thing, I've recently switched from Essential PH-1 to the Z2F due to poor performance with T-Mobile on Essential. I recently decided to download official TMobile Z2F firmware to look through the files, and turns out the firmware file is over 2GB in size. Every time I attempted to download it, the download breaks exactly as soon as it reaches 2GB at around 95% progress, it pauses, and as soon as I attempted to resume download, it resets to 0% progress. Anyone else encounter this issue? I've tried downloading from safe mode and same result, download breaks at 2GB. I've allowed external source downloads from chrome, so I know that's not the problem. I also turned off and disabled the preinstalled malware scanner, so that shouldn't be the problem either. Is there some sort of limiter setting that I can't find?

If you're saving to an external sdcard, make sure it's formatted correctly. Try going settings > Apps & notifications > app permissions > storage - find chrome and make sure it is enabled for storage.
You might also try another browser like Opera Mini, UC, anything really.

Storage permission was granted from the get go. Opera did allow the download, so apparently there's something in the preinstalled chrome browser on this device preventing file sizes over 2gb from being downloaded, maybe something in the flags, haven't looked through those, but can confirm this issue isn't present with Opera browser and likely any other downloadable browser.
Thanks for the suggestion

I experienced the exact same issues while attempting to download 2gb+ files using Chrome on my Z2F. I switched to the Microsoft Edge browser and haven't had any trouble downloading any files.
