First of all, let me say this is a great forum -- keep up the good work!
Now for the question - It seems that whenever I try to download a zip file using my Tilt, it always comes back as corrupt, even though the download appears to complete successfully. Opening the file with the built in zip program gives an error message similar to "central directory was not found". Copying the file to my PC also yields a similar 'corrupt' error. If I download the file using my computer, there doesn't appear to be any issue.
I've noticed this on multiple download attempts from different locations, but I had chalked it up as just a problem with the zip file itself on the site.
Is there some cache tweak or something I'm missing here? I'm using KaiserTweak now with recommended settings, though this is a recent addition...I didn't install it until after I noticed these issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jaceson
I noticed this problem starting a few weeks back while I was using my 8525. It was also giving my an error for zip files using WinRar as well. When I tried downloading the same file on my PC everything worked fine.
I thought maybe you just couldn't unzip files with .Cabs in them on a PPC??? But it could be an issue with PIE.
Coincidence?
I wonder if it's a coincidence that we're both in Dallas. Dallas is a big place though...that couldn't possibly be what's going on here. Right?
Just thought I'd check in on this thread again. Any ideas guys?
If you have WinRaR installed go to Winrar settings and make sure that you have .zip files associated to the WinRAR application. This fixed my problem.
You can also go to Dutty's Cab collection sticky and download the MS Office cab collection I believe this has WinZip included.
I have the same problem on my kaiser no problems for a month then all of a sudden I can't download zips!?! the only thing I can think of is that I switched to att when I was with tmobile I had no problems. I don't have winzip but I do have pocketrar and changing the settings haven't helped me
im on att with medianet my email wasn't working either. I changed a few settings and now everything works fine so let me know if ur still having problems
i was having the same problem also. i thought it was an issue with the zip software on the tilt. so i downloaded pocketrar and use that now. everything works and i can download and extract zips no problem. i'd recommend pocketrar over the tilt zip program anyway, so give it a try.
Any solutions found
All, I have this very problem. Winrar doesn't make a diference either. The odd thing is that this only happens with zip files, cab files install fine. Furthermore the zips work fine if downloaded by Opera.

Hi,
I think you can try to recover the corrupt file, you may try Advanced Zip Repair at http://www.datanumen.com/azr/ This tool is rather useful in salvaging damaged Zip files. Hope this is useful.

I have the same problem, and have narrowed it down a bit. Same zip file from the same website will work if I'm connect through WiFi, but not a cell link (3G). No other changes made but the connection type (didn't even close pie). Still trying to get ahold of tech support at AT&T.
Just got off the phone with Tech support. They told me I can't download zip files with a cell link (edge or 3g) because of file size, It has to be done by WiFi.
I'm thinking that's bs.. I've downloaded uncompressed files bigger than that. trying to get ahold of someone else in Tech support.
I have the new Touch Diamond with Telus in Canada. I'm trying to install google maps but I keep getting an error. "There is no application associated with gmm. Run the app first, then open this file from within the application." I'm new to mobile devices. I did a google search and a search on this site for the error and I found a response saying, "try installing it with PIE.
What's PIE and does anyone know how to get past this error?
Thanks
PIE is internet explorer.
Sounds like you have got the file but saved it incorrectly. It should be a cab file and it sounds liek you saved it without the file extension.
Open up internet explorer on the device and go to www.google.com/gmm and download the file again.
make sure that the 'Open file after download' box is ticked and it should install fine. if it still doesn't. then i would say you have probably installed something that has screwed up your file associations.
Im a medical student and I really would love to be able to use the newly available Android Medscape app (free from the market) on my phone.
Unfortunately, it says in description of the app that it may have problems with "rooted" phones. Im assuming it means our HD2's running android on NAND as well, because after installing the App on my phone, I am unable to update/download the Clinical reference data required for the app to work offline.
It gives the error "Internet connectivity was interrupted..Please try again"
Any help from the developers or anyone else would be very greatly appreciated

Looking at the description and the error you gave, have you tried disabling any ad-blocking software? It may be something cooked into the ROM - if so, try asking the dev how to disable it. DLing now - i'll post back what I find.
.............................
EDIT:
Ok, having found this question asked on the thread for the ROM I use, you can remove medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list. (find it in \system\etc).

I had to copy the file to PC before editing and copied back again using droidexplorer.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention the ROM im using. Its Core Droid DHD 1.5, and it seems you may be right. It says in the description of the ROM that the "Adds are Blocked (Host files modified)". Is there any way to reverse this host file change?
Fixed it with the help of the developer of the Core Droid ROM. Just opened the app "Add free" and hit "revert". Restored the original host file. Medscape works now.
im having the same issue and clicking the "revert" bottom on AdFree did not fix it
I have uninstalled AdFree and have the same problem all the time. Anybody fixed this?
i had the same problem!
After i revert the hosts file in ad-free, medscape did not update the reference!
So what i did:
I did not unistall ad-free, but:
- i revert the host file 3 times in a row;
- i stopped the access of AD Free from SuperUser (root access);
- and i restart medscape (i killed the process with automatic task killer) and start it again;
- and voila, my htc g1 is updating the reference while i text.
(i don't know what are the steps that make medscape update, but i guess, is the revert host file and restart the app, to it starts didn't knowing that can't access that host to update)
I hope this help you!
Good luck
It works for me, reverted host files, stopped Adfree acces to Superuser and voila!! Medscape is updating again. Thanx
how to correct medscape installation please?thx\
SOLVED!
Just got an OTA update for my flyer and software got updated to version 2.27.1540.32
The android version is 2.2.4 while sense is 1.0
Just for the record, AdFree only works on ROOTED devices. i mentioned in another thread on xda that adfree does not work for me. with this OTA update, my Medscape is finally installing as i type this - - -
Just kill the AdFree app and immediately run Medscape app,it'll definitely take the update.I did the same and it worked

Hi everyone!
Well, I've experienced the same "connectivity error" as everyone with a root cellphone, after reinstalling medscape app at my cell. I never had AdFree, and even though I'm able to found the hosts file and take a look of it with my pc it says absolutely nothing about medscape (only 127.0.0.1 localhost and emptyness after), so I guess I must be getting the wrong file or not accesing to it correctly?
I've tried everything you said, but is still not working.
I'm pretty new with android, and I would really aprecciate you help, given the fact that this is one of my favorities app!

I download large files often say anywhere from 200mb to 1g. The stock browser will sometimes download the files other times it will save it as a .bin file. I have a Mac computer so downloading these huge files is the only way due to not having mass storage mode. Has anyone found a way around this? A certain browser or configuration? A downloader app? When I had my Ipad2 I used "perfect downloader" to download any file. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Try Byte Tornado from the market.

Hi All,
For some reason my youtube app is missing from my nexus S and I can not download it from the market because it shows as already installed and it says it is incompatible with my provider.
I was wondering if someone can upload the apk file. You can find it by using any of the file managers (like ASTRO) and checking system/app/youtube.apk
Thank you.
hard reset worked for me, was looking for the akp for some days, nowere to be found.
