Download unsuccessful? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

A lot of times when i download things it downloads then normally. But when it finishes it will most of the time be unsuccessful so i have to repeatedly download things and it blows when it's a Rom or something. Anyone else having this issue? Way to fix this? Running aokp jb build 4

Provide some more information? Which browser or what other program do you use for downloading? I remember Chrome had problems in the past...

Use a different browser. Like dolphin.

Mobile data sucks for downloading large files. I get unsuccessful all the time.

go to manage apps, download manager, now clear its data. that should fix it for you.

I did change browsers and it seems like it's not having the same problem. I also did the clear cache on download manager, thank ya all. I'll report if there are any more issues

Even i have this problem on chrome. I use firefox for downloads.
It is really painful after you wait for the timer to expire and enter the unreadable captha and then face unsuccessful download.

Download "UNSUCCESSFUL"

On my default browser on my gn I constantly need to download things but it seems whenever I download things like .zip files pictures or anything off the default browser it tells me it was unsuccessful and I have to retry to download it about 8 times before it will work. Advice?

Clear data/cache from download manager. Try a different browser if that doesn't work.

Clearing the cache did not help.

Same here... with different ROMs. It started yesterday when I had a 4.1.2 custom ROM. It shows the same behaviour after wiping everything and flashing several 4.1 or 4.2.1 ROMs.
Same here. I think It's a javascript error, but disable javascript is not a good solution.
I hope it's not intentionally bug creation to make users use chrome browser.
Same here. I've even gone back and reloaded a couple of backup roms I had saved that I know worked fine and all the 3rd party browsers fc.
Hmm, I couldn't replicate the issue. Sites are opening fine for me desktop and mobile versions alike.
I have a GSM GNex, i9250, stock 4.2.1, rooted, custom recovery.

It is not FC exactly. It just closes on you. It happens to me while I browse phonearena.com

Are ther any news about this issue? It definitely does not occur on all webpages, but on some. The next thing I will try is to use a different browser.
Try disabling flash in browser settings or just switch on demand.
I noticed it closes on sites with high flash content

Thanks for the hint. What actually seems to work is disabling javascript.
If you star this issue, a google dev may get interested: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40784&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
I am experiencing the same issue
Jelly bean sorcery3.1 (android 4.2.1)
Phone now seems sluggish in general and the browser seems to be force closing all the time
Also getting a lot of SOD's and general unresponsiveness
Weird thing is I've been on this rom for a while and it just recently seems to be doing this
edit: my mistake, my rom is actually 4.1.2 so maybe its an unrelated problem but my browser is still extremely unstable
It seems unrelated to the android version you are running. My 4.1.2 tablet browser started crashing also recently. To complicate matters browsing in incognito mode seems to solve problems even with javascript enabled.

I have the same issue. Was on an AOSP 4.2.1 ROM and switched back to a 4.1.2 instead (fresh wipe/flash, even formatted system before flashing 4.1.2 ROM) and still getting it with the stock browser. Visited the same websites on the chrome browser and no closes. You guys are right though, it's not a normal "FC". It just closes and brings you back to the homescreen, almost like if you just hit the home button. When I go to open the browser back up, sometimes the page will load back up from scratch, but sometimes it will just bring me to blank page (my homepage) and I have to start all over to get back where I was.
EDIT:
Also commented on the link above and voted on it.
I have exactly the same issue. I just purchased the gn 2 days ago. I let it update from the stock image. I only rooted and added busybox with a to available here on xda.
With some site the browser window disappear. I also noticed that all tabs are gone when I open the browser again: it just reset all open windows.

I don't have this issue anymore.
I think that Google Play Services were auto updated. I'm not sure if this is what resolved the issue.

Youtube (desktop + mobile) Force closes on video playback

I've tried searching the forums for a possible solution but have had no luck thus far.
I prefer the desktop Youtube over the mobile app version but regardless on which one I use for some reason lately YT always force closes anytime I hit the play icon to watch a video. it would load for a couple seconds and then force close me out of my browser. I do have the correct flash player and I've tried various browsers installed on my phone as well as earlier versions to each but the issue continues to occur. I also tried clearing data but no luck either. Has anyone else experienced this? and if so, a possible fix? Any advice would be great.

If you're on Deviant then it's a known issue. Something with webkit Ramsay did, thought we got it under control, but I guess not.
Hmm.. ok. I wouldn't have thought it was the ROM because I've been using Deviant since it's beta release as my daily driver and it's been stable for me until today. Wasn't having this issue til now and I hadn't modified anything. Thanks for clearing this up for me though. appreciate it.

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

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?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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.

I had this issue with several sammy roms and i don t know how to solve it.. can anyone help me? I don t want to go to aosp roms!
Thanks guys

I also have stock browser crashing when it never did before. I suspect one of the google updates that went through recently since besides app updates I haven't changed anything in months and I don't think any of the apps I have is embedded deeply enough to affect the browser. I've considered nandroiding back to trace it but it's a tough one to do since the crashing is somewhat random. Btw I don't have your video app installed (Maxthon).

I have the exact same problem with my N7100. In first thought I was sure that it was a software problem and I did all the steps you mentioned in your initial post...but there I had no luck as the problem kept coming. Then I gave it a try to my local samsung service point. The first time I sent them the phone they didn;t manage to solve the problem and they onlt did a factory reset. The second time I sent it they changed the mainboard (pcb/motherboard)...I thought I was done but guess......the problem was still there! But I am ok, I am now sure that it's a software bug.
I am using the opera browser which doesn't give me the stock browser problems (boat browser is also giving problems to me)!
