Did you just root your Samsung Galaxy S3 and are not comfortable with a rooted phone? Are you tired of flashing custom ROMs and want…. An update…. You know what I hate these days?
Those single ladies who are dying to meet me in my neighborhood. Quick or Fast Charging is a feature with more recent Android phones, or even apps to get your battery back to where it belongs quickly…. This morning I got another update to from verizon o. I have a galaxy S5. The update took about 10 minutes to install. I will say just from 1 day, it appears to be a much needed update. I have no more error messages, my apps are behaving like they used to and nothing has notified me that it has unexpectedly stopped working.
Seems very stable so I say thank you to Samsung. My android version still says 5. If you have any more info about this upate would love to know what all it is supposed to do. But s9 far call me happy. Can you please explain why the files originally opened, and then would not.
The important thing is that everything is back to normal, glad to hear that and thanks for commenting. Hi Pio, Is it with just one file type or with all of them? I tapped to open a download and got a message asking me if I wanted to scan downloads for threats. Can you please tell me how to disable that scan setting? Thanks so much.
I know where my downloaded files are but can never open them. My emails open fine so i never thought id have to have a app for files.. U live and learn I guess. Thanks again.. Which file manager are you using? Some of them can be confusing to use. Also, you might not have an app that allows you to open that type of file on your phone. So make sure you have the appropriate app to open that kind of file.
Thanks so much for making my life a little bit easier maybe a lot. Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of the Android operating system.

I am writing from my Android. On my laptop, it's pretty simple to choose to open a PDF file directly in the browser rather than opening it in an external program. The problem comes when I try to open it on Android. I am usually asked to download it and it will open with PDF Viewer. I would like it to open directly in Chrome because - moreover -- I'd like to get a link to the PDF file. Usually, on Android, you can link the website and then the receiver will have to download the PDF so that he can view it.
I would like to be readable directly in the browser. Unfortunately, there is as far as I know no way to do this automatically in Chrome you can always paste the URL manually every time you want to open a PDF file but that's not very practical. However, if you use a browser that supports extensions, it's possible to use an extension to automatically redirect PDF files to this URL. Unfortunately, you can't do this on any well-known browsers Chrome and Edge for Android don't support extensions at all, and Firefox for Android only supports a very limited set of extensions , but there are less well-known browsers where you can do this.
The one I use is Kiwi I have no association with its author. Once you've installed Kiwi or another browser that supports Chrome extensions , install the Redirector extension I have no association with its author. Next, click on the three dots on the top right, scroll down, click "Redirector", then click on the "Edit Redirects" button, and then click on "Create new redirect":. Sign up to join this community.
