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?
So I recently got my GNex, and I've rooted it and put a new ROM on it (AOKP).
Everything runs smoothly, except for this:
when I try and send a picture to whatsapp messenger through the gallery (or directly within the app) i get an error that says "preview of image failed, please try again"
I get an error when I try and upload a picture to picasa as well (though I don't care so much about that one, as I don't use picasa as often as I do whatsapp).
I can share a picture from the gallery via sms without a problem (I use handcent, is there a better one for ICS?) so I don't think it's the gallery so much..
I'm using the GApps that comes within AOKP from ROM Manager (it's Milestone 4).
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Had this happen to me too. It was a "corrupt" folder or something like that, no idea what caused it. Try deleting the whatsapp folder on your sd card. If you can't delete the folder, you have the same problem. I was only able to delete the folder in the recovery via adb. But after deleting the folder everything went back to normal.

I tried deleting the folder, I could do that with no problem. I uninstalled Whatsapp, then deleted the folder, reinstalled it. Still have the same problem...it's weird.
I use Es file explorer on daily basis, and it's worked perfectly until I upgraded to Android 4.4.4. When I tried to copy file from phone to win pc shared folder (like I done many many times before), it starts for a couple of seconds and then stop, say "time left: computing..." and after that "task failed". I tried everything, reinstalling app, flashing rom again (Viper 3.0.1), flashing firmware again because I know that wifi won't work without new firmware (wifi working properly), but i flashed again just in case. Then I tried another rom (ARHD) and it is the same. Then I revert back to Android 4.4.3 (Viper 2.5.0), and it worked again! Then I tried dirty-flash Viper 3.0.1 and it don't working anymore... I tried also Go file master, but it won't work ether.
So I think it is problem with android 4.4.4, because I tried two different apps with two different 4.4.4 roms and result is the same.
Can anyone who is on android 4.4.4 try to send some file, let's say around 100-200mb, with Es and see if it works? Thanks!

Hello, as an ES File Explorer user, I would like to help you solve your issue. Have you tried using your administrator's logon credentials? You're supposed to type them into the fields as you add your computer (in LAN tab).
Also, you should know that if your IP address to your computer is re-assigned, the connection will be broken, as the IP you originally typed in will no longer work. Maybe in 4.4.3 the IP was the way you wanted it. Try to make it right this time. I will try to recreate your issue on my phone (running 4.4.4 as well) and get back to you.

Thanks for trying to help.
Like I sad, tried everything, and I'm very familiar about ip. First, I totally uninstall es, reboot the phone, install es again from market. There is no assigned lan computers jet. Then, in lan tab, click on scan, and ip address of my computer are showed. When I click on it I can see shared files and folders on my computer, and I can access them. So connection is fine. When I tried to copy large file, 100-200 MB, it starts for couple of seconds and transfer couple of MB, then stop and sad task failed.
Interesting thing is that when I tried to copy FROM pc TO phone, it works without issues and I can transfer large files without any problem. So the problem is copying from phone to pc.
I tried this on three different places, it means 3 different routers, 3 different pcs, 3 different operation systems (XP, WIN7, WIN8.1), and the problem is there.
Like you can see in my first post, I tried to re-flash firmware and rom again, tried different rom, but could not solve the problem. Only when I revert back to android 4.4.3, everything worked again, but again on 4.4..4 not working like described.
Can you try to copy some large file from phone to pc (like one episode of some series) and tell if it working for you? Thanks.
Have you tried contacting the app developer? Its possible the app just hasn't been updated to be compatible with 4.4.4.
ES is a great app. Its been my go-to file explorer for some time now (although I don't use the particular function you are having a problem with). Hope you get the issue sorted out.
No, I haven't, but yes, that could be the problem. But I tried one or two similar apps and have the same problem...
Anyway, I currently using Sambadroid for transferring files and it's working, but like es better and hope it will work like it should in next version.
In Sambadroid I access files on the phone from pc explorer...
So, I tried 2-3 sense roms and the problem is there, but today I installed aosp rom to try it, and ES works without any problems. Strange...
I just rooted my G4 using a couple of threads and a how to video from this forum. This is the only place I trust and everything went great. My phone is rooted and I'm having fun with it. I just have one issue and it's a strange one. At least I consider it to be. Here's the problem. Any app I install that will both uninstall an app and restore it I'm having issues on the restore end. There is no exact info I can give you except to explain what's happening. Usually only the first file I uninstall will show up in the recycle bin and I can restore it. But sometimes nothing shows. If I try to uninstall more than one app, let's say three for example. In the recycle bin it will show that I uninstalled the FIRST app I chose to uninstall as ALL THREE listed. So Let's say I uninstall app's a, b and c. In the recycle bin instead of showing apps a, b and c, it will show three versions of a. This seems very odd to me.
The thing Is I have troubleshooted this and I have used different uninstall/restore apps that do the exact same things as App Master/System app remover (root) etc. I evven tried others. but still have the same exact issue with all of these apps. And also within these apps I moved the backup folder and recycle bin locations to several different locations incliuding different locations both on both my external SD card and different locations within the external storage just to see if the location was the issue. The locations does not matter. The app does not matter. I have the same problems no matter where the locations for the backup and restore folders are and I have the same issues no matter which app I use. BTW I have no problems at all with installing apps from either the app store or anywhere else and also I even used an apk extractor before I turned my old phone in and extracted a lot of apps and installed those on my new phone via a folder in the external SD card and no problems with that. Also if I only uninstall one app with any of these uninstall/restore apps I CAN restore it.
My fear is that I will one day need to restore an app, maybe a system app and because I have uninstalled many apps since then it won't even be listed in my recycle bin via these apps and I will be screwed. Have any of you even heard of anything like this before?
I realize there could be work arounds such as periodically backing up ALL apks, but really that would be a hassle and I would just like these uninstall/restore apps to work like they should.
Any Ideas? Thank you so much in advance guys. You're the best.
I have recently upgraded to open beta 6 with a clean install from beta 5. Wiped. The gallery worked fine at first as far as I know. But now it's directly crashing on opening. Another open 6 version was released today and I thought this one would fix the issue but not.
Cleaned cash and data already and also tried to disable and re-enable. No luck so far.
Running with magisk 16.3.
Anyone with the same problem? I don't feel like wiping it again just for a broken gallery app but I do want to get it working again.
I don't have the problem but it could be a corrupt image file.
To eliminate this possibility put an empty file called
Code:
.nomedia
In the root directory of your internal ("SD Card") storage. Clear Gallery app data and cache again and then open the Gallery. No images should load. If the Gallery app works again then you know you need to hunt down the corrupt file (you can do this by moving that .nomedia file around to different folders or even create more of them). If this trick doesn't work then sorry I have no further suggestions (don't forget to delete the .nomedia file).
I had the same issue and the @djmcnz method didn't work for me. I fixed it by doing everything @djmcnz did (.nomedia and deleting app cache and data), going to the Google Play store and uninstalling updates from Gallery app and than updating it back.
