Does anyone know why my evo is telling me the file I'm trying to download isn't supported on my phone? Im running the vaelpak rom and was trying to download an mp3. It has done it before when I tried to download an apk file. Thanks for any insight

Don't know why it some times says that but I've had that happen to me before but just go ahead and download it anyways. U shouldn't have a problem. I never have.
It will not download. It automatically stops the download and on my notifications bar it says download unsuccessful??

Anyone? Im still facing this issues.
Sounds like it's trying to open the file, rather than just save it, and it can't find an associate program to open it with... try a different browser, like Dolphin HD instead of stock, and see if that will let you download the file and actually save it rather than trying to open it.
Is there any way to get rid of this restriction with the zip files and other files as well.

Hi,
I don't know of a native method of removing that restriction, but the free app Byte Tornado downloader integrates with the browser and allows almost any file to download directly to the phone.
I hope that helps.

Down Droid on market. Just a download manager. Nothing else.
Awesome thanks I used byte tornado

download Astro from the market or appbrain then you can download zip files and extract the apk files from the zip. It's also a great utility app to manage files and backup applications.
I use opera browser to download files. It how's never given me any problems.

Sadly the stock browser restricts a lot of downloads: .zips (and many .apk's if not all).
Probably there to "protect" itself.
But any third party web browser
(Dolphin HD or Opera) can do those kinds of files.
That is if you don't wish to use a download manager app.
Hope this helped someone!
Before we went froyo, I could use dolphin browser to download vid files from anywhere, more that we have flash I cant. Is it dolphin upgrade or froyo?

If you have astro file manager you can enable browser downloads in settings, if that is what your having issues with.

Hi just got this tablet, and it seems Adobe won't support Flash with Jellybean, and as soon as I got the tablet I officially updated it to 4.1.1. So anyone know how to get Flash onto this tablet? I don't wanna root the tab and I already have Dolphin Browser HD. I need flash to watch TV shows and run games. Thanks

Probably the only way since everything is HTML5 these days.. well according to google and adobe that is >.> so chrome and dolphin browser doesn't support flash. My dolphin used to, but dunnno why it doesn't now. But the stock browser is the only one I can use, but it's crapily slow
You could also use a custom ROM that supports flash....for instance, I'm using the BAKED Blackbean ROM, which is based on Android 4.1.1 (Jellybean). I play flash videos in the native youtube app without any problems whatsoever. That way, you still get the "benefits" of Jellybean (which I don't feel are enough reason to update from ICS) and you can watch flash videos. You can have your beans, and eat them too!!
Depending on how technically-inclined you are, you could also downgrade your firmware to the previous update before Jellybean (would be 9.3.4.30, or something similar). This does involve unlocking your bootloader using ASUS' official tool, and therefore voiding your ASUS warranty.

Maybe Flash is disabled in Dolphin browser. Open Dolphin, go to Settings > Web Content > Flash Player and try enabling it. A message pops up saying that it could cause Dolphin to crash etc. Enable it if the message doesn't scare you and hopefully it'll work :victory:
yes install flash player apk, upgrade in the market, in your downloads (everyone) will apear the update (if the flasplayer.apk is old) you can use stock browser or firefox. chrome and dolphin doesnt work.
but the flash player will dont work fast... only whit some things
At this time you can not downgrade from the JB bootloader even if unlocked!
+1 flash working on JB.
