Please provide more info such as rom, root, unlocked/locked, type of files, etc. It will help you get answered quicker.
Not rooted basically factor

Try another browser. ie boat or dolphin or opera you get the point

What type of files are you trying to open?
Try opera mobile.works great for me.

If you plan on sticking with the stock browser, download from the market an app called "download all files". Its free, no root required, and will solve file type incompatibility issues.
As others mentioned, a 3rd party browser would also do the trick.
Dolphin downloads anything and much better than stock app

Possibly a dumb question, but are you having trouble downloading files or opening them? I ask because your OP doesn't say "when I TRY to download"
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I had this problem. When I would dl something, like a pic or pdf, it would say failed or not supported. I hard reset the phone and formatted internal and the sd card. Problem stopped.

This should have been a no-brainer
For whatever reason I've avoided the alternate browsers thinking they surely wouldn't offer the ability to download the types files I wanted...I've been liberated in 3 minutes with the Dolphin browser.

Is there an app that allows one to download .apk 's from File Sonic links? Thanks in advance.
I don't understand, like a dedicated file sonic app or something like download crutch so you wont get the content unsupported error?

I was having trouble with this on default browser, but I switched to Dolphin browser and have no problems.
EDIT: Also try making sure the option for installing unknown apps, just a thought

Thanks for the help you guys. I went to dolphin mini and I think that did the trick

Some sites still won't work, I forgot which.
Firefox worked on something for me, in my case stock browser grabbed a .php file. so dif browsers may handle certain links differently.
Opera mobile is on my phone soley for websites like that. It's like the download toolkit.

Anyone else having an issue where dolphin says it can't dl without an sd card? I have tried changing the download directory a few times to no avail.

When I was using dolphin with an sd card and trie ddownloading anything it just crashed completely. Opera dled things just as well as the built-in browser though. I dunno what is up with dolphin.
I'm using Dolphin hd without issue. Maybe clear data or reinstall?

Try download "download all" app from market
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I'm unable to even install Dolphin HD itself (it won't appear in my search on Android Market).
Did you guys get the apk from somewhere else?
EDIT: Nevermind, found the apk in the "MUST-HAVE APPS" thread.
Still no luck. I tried dolphin and opera both with and without download all files. Both give a similar message. The stock browser works though. Do you have to have an sd card to dl with these browsers?
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
That may be the case. I have an sd card and downloads workfine for me.

Yep, I scavenged a card from my og droid and it works now.

Hey guys I need some help. I go to a site that is password protected, I login, and then when I try to download a file (zip file), it just says download failed every time. I'm assuming this is because the downloadprovider apk doesn't use the cookie that says I'm logged in, so the site doesn't let me download it.
I can get this to work by using Opera. But with any other browser I can't get it to work. I don't like using Opera, so how can I get around this?

Even saving the header image results in a failed download.
I've also tried entering http://user:[email protected]/file.zip into the URL bar without success
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Can you use FTP? ftp://x:[email protected]
If yes, just download Total Commander/Ghost Commander from GPlay, and connect to it by that app.
Just tried your suggestion but it doesn't work. I just can't figure out why

Hey there, so I rooted my sgs2 a couple of weeks ago since then I have not been able to log in to heavily encrypted Web pages. For example when I try to load the log in Page for commonwealth bank to use net banking it simply comes up with the annoying upside down android bot saying the Page cannot be loaded.
I have re flashed the stock rom and unrooted but still no resolve. I even called my bank to make sure there were no network issues on their end.
Other than that I have wiped both the system and dalvik cache before unrooting.
Anyone have any clue whatsoever that could solve my dilemma?

Download a different browser from the app store and try again?
I usually use dolphin HD, I tried using the stock browser, opera mini and Firefox, they all return the same result.

Have you tried chrome? But if I were you, I would run an anti virus software that you can get on the play store just in case, especially when you are going to be signing in to your bank account and it is saying any sort of error.

Tried that and it came up clear, but I have managed to find success!
After flashing CM9 and also a new modem kernel its all come back to normal.
Must of been the previous rom I was running causing the issue? Bit odd but mehh I'm happy

Zip files are not native to the device and are not recognized as valid files. You need to download an app that recognizes zip files like estrong file explorer then try redownloading.

Is it that you can't dl any type of file? What about apps? I ran into a somilar problem with a HTC inspire. There was a folder to delete that fixed it. There's a post around here somewhere for that.

Not really sure if this is gonna work, try installing Astro file manager, then go to "preferences" (or "options", idk, I have the app in spanish) and select the option "Web browser downloader" (or something like that)
Since I did that, I don't remember having issues to download any kind of file.
