OK. Yes I'm a noob and yes I've searched.
I've been with apple for several years, so theres a learning curve I'm currently adjusting too. I've finally seen the light and love my LG Thrill.
I'm not sure if my issue is with all android phones or specifically with LG Thrill. I thought I'd post here first.
So.. when I was with apple I was able to download or stream movies through Megaupload. (contingent on the available option). However, when I try to download a movie from my LG it will only stream. Though, there where times I was able to download a movie (vary rarely).
I tested this with my Iphone and was able to download movies that the LG would only stream.
Does anyone know how to correct this or download rather than stream from Megaupload?
I recall the Iphone had a download to phone toggle, but I could not find one for LG (if it exists).
When you click the link do you get the execute or download option?
You can also try another browser, I recommended Dolphin browser. That browser should give you the download option.

If you want to download something download an app called download all files and this should work

It's a website that provides two links. One to stream and one to download.
When I click the download link it directs me to Megaupload. After waiting the 45secs, I've tried both clicking and holding the link. Clicking the link will stream the video instead of downloading and when I hold down the link I don't get an option to execute or download. Though, I was able to get the execute or download option once.
Do you think I need to enable or disable something in my phone settings?

Yup, tried that. Didn't work. Thanks though!
Did you try downloading it on a computer and putting it on the phone

Ugh.. Finally figured it out! Where's the facepalm icon when you need it.
The reason why I didn't get the execute or download option when I long press the link, is because I was going through the app. If I go directly to the website, where the app links to, through the stock web browser and long press the "regular download" link, I get the execute or download options. Or in our case with the Thrill you select "Open".
Thanks everyone for your help!!
Btw, I didn't want to bore you on how I figured it out, but through my journey I found this cool app - Copy Paste It. You can copy any text on your phone, even if it's an image, and paste it in a text box. Pricey, but I"m sure you know how and where to get it for less

This is something I don't want to have to. I want to be able to download directly from and to my phone.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I thought this was pretty interesting! Its a home replacement for Android 2.0 and up. It makes your phone look like windows vista or windows 7. This is one of the most advanced Home Replacement apps I've seen! Apparently, it is from China but has an English version. The forum on the site is in Chinese. I've installed this on my Eris which I've got running CELB Froyo 3.6 which is Android 2.2.1
I am not responsible to what happens to your phone if you install this! Install at your own risk.
Here is the link to the site to download: http://www.joymms.com/english/

You're welcome. I've been running this for about a week now and it is amazing how integrated this thing is. Although there is no notification bar, there is a pop up bubble for sms messages. It just takes some getting use to. Overall, this is pretty good to be a demo!

Clicking 'Register' brings up the page where you can register and get the Gold version, which supposedly has more features. I wouldn't mind paying for this one, but I don't recall seeing a price on it. Personally, this demo is cool with me!
I downloaded and there is no readme when I unzip....the folder is just empty....any ideas?

Use WinRAR to unzip it there's a file labeled androidwindows7.apk or something like that all you need to do is put it on ur sd card and install using a file explorer like Astro file manager or Linda file manager and then when you hit the home button it gives you a choice labeled android windows 7 hit it and let it load up for a couple minutes and wham its on there

UPDATED 3/27/11
Mostly just bug fixes, and file operations should no longer block the ui.
0.1.2 - fixed a rotation bug I introduced
It's my first app ever, so be gentle
Post any bugs found here and I can fix them, any comments are welcome too!
It doesn't support modifying root files, but it will eventually.
Thanks!
Cool! I'm downloading right now to check it out. Thanks!
Definitely a good start. Very clean and intuitive. One bug I found is after going a few folders deep in the sdcard, then using the back button to get back to / pressing the sdcard folder again doesn't do anything.
If a press another folder and then press sdcard it works.
I can give you logs too if you'd like.
Also, there is a typo with rename in the tool box. It shows "renam-e"

It's got that, open the Tool Box and drag the Rename icon to whatever you want to rename... it's a tad buggy, it may not show it being renamed right away until you reopen the folder.
Has anyone here had issues opening the app after first installing it? I got a one star review (probably the first of many) that said someone had issue with it.

It is planned, however I want to ensure the file operations are rock solid before enabling it. The last thing I want is something to go horribly wrong on someone's system folder.

Problem I'm having is with the Market download. I'm unable to download the app to install it. I can download other apps yes.
Installed it today, installed just fine. Seems to work ok, good start and thanks for posting. I like the look, fits in well with honeycomb UI.
Very nice! Just installed and it works fine.

Will be trying this today. Very excited.
ASTRO betrayed me, the week I paid for it, it became abandoned (though three Android versions and eight months later, Metago still claims its not abandoned and updates are coming)
Bauxite:
First off, a very nice first iteration!
Now, the things that "appear" to be missing which are keeping me with a copy of ES File Manager - feel free to tell me if they are in here and I just didn't find them:
1) Zip File Extraction into a folder named the same as the file (except for the .Zip of course)
2) Rar File Extraction into a folder named the same as the file (except for the .Rar of course)
3) Ability to see my shared drives on my home LAN and copy files back and forth
4) Integrated Image Viewer
Anyone familiar with scanlated Manga will understand where this list comes from
Looking forward to new updates
I have been trying to download the Esurance Mobile app from the android market but every time I try it says download unsuccessful.
I was hoping to get the apk so I can put it on my tab and on my HTC Evo. For some reason the app isn't available on the evo.
Could someone download the app and post it here for me. Thanks
I 2nd this request. For some reason it does want to download on either of my CyanogenMod devices.
Here ya go, hope it works, fresh off the market, just because I'm bored at work
I can view the APP from the Market URL on my PC. It will only allow me to send the APP to my Atrix, not any of my Sprint Phones.
Also, I can not find the esurance app bt searching the market from my EVO.

Thank you very much. I was tempted to root my wife's phone just to get this app. I'm glad I checked here first because she would have killed me for messing with her phone.
I am not talking about paid/warez APKs, but would like to know if there is a trustworthy site that I can download free APKs from? For example, Softpedia is usually my goto site for freeware when I am looking for PC apps. Does such a site exist for Android? Thanks in advance for your replies and have a great day!
I forgot to mention that I am currently trying out the Amazon App Market.

Same Boat
Why be so judgy im in the same boat also looking for a place to download to my pc because i have a game room that my wifi doesn't reach and the apps can only be downloaded via wifi or 3g (if available) using the play store, I would like to see google incorp. direct download to the tablet and phones via usb using your pc as a medium aka as long as your android device is connected via usb allow direct download
You can always try 4shared.com
I usually buy apps, but sometimes I like to take them for a spin before I buy them to see if it's worth it.
Remember, always support developers.
SlideME.org
I would say just search Google with the app name and .apk at the end. Works most of the time and I find the ones I need with no problem.
I would not recommend the Amazon App Store because last few times I downloaded, it would just bug out. Not sure if they fixed it now though.
APKs FOR THUNDERBOLT
TRY "MARKETPLACE.COM/ANDROID" see if you can't find something. I have in the past. At least give it a try
Good Luck

play store (android market) can wireless push / synch apps from android.market.com to any device synching to your google account / device. no need for usb. this has been available forever. as far as trustworthy freeware sites, some torrent trackers as well as a few other d/l hosting sites cater to this, but not many unfortunately.
I never had a problem with Amazon app store, plus you get a free paid app everyday.

the vid was a lityle over 4 minutes, apparently I cant post a vid here, but ya if you search "root galaxy s4 4.4" it would be the 3rd vid on you tube.
I can atleast move files an unzip them now, would not allow me to do so after I updated to crappy 4.4. What else can I do now?
It still wont let me choose where to send my download files from dolphin browser.
Any cool things I can do?
also what are roms?

Do you have the AT&T version? I tried rooting mine that is an AT&T version of the S4 Active and nothing happens and I get a message saying I am not using the Active.
