Hello!

1. I cannot reproduce this, but I suspoct it's a style problem, i.e. the text is the same color as the background, which can happen depending on the rom or android version (they made a big mess with this); can you confirm it's such a problem?

2. I will investigate this, there are surely many ways to make the service more "sticky", even though I do not want to hog the phone when it's in a difficult situation :)

Thanks!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
New version coming this weekend, stay tuned :)
[Android Apps and Games] WeldFire:
Congratulations! I can't wait! :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
No no there is no notification at.

Nothing as you suspect, notification pull down is empty

Wow! I can't wait. I hope it has resume support :D
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
could you please describe the steps to reproduce this bug?

thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
I simply add download manually, there is icon on status bar but no notification when I pull down notification bar.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I'm sorry I can't reproduce this.

I'l try later on froyo with the emulator ;)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.18

- can pause downloads

- better thread balancing (can lead to faster downloads, to be tested)

- threads set to lower priority for better responsiveness

as usual I need your feedback before publishing on the market!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Wow! Awesome!

***********BUGREPORT*************

1. No notification still :(

But I have attached a log for you :D and that too a clean one and I think no one attached such clean log till now :D Yayy!! It is named Superdownload.txt

I have attached another log in Superdownload2.txt, it has lots of clean logs and only has logs of Superdownload, no other mess :D

2. I forced stop the app and opened it, my download was no more there in to resume it :(

To help you more I have also attached hprof dump of the app :D

************SUGGESTION*******************

1. Ability to resume downloads even after force stopping app.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Hello!

Thanks very much for all this, really appreciated :)

Clean logs are wonderful for us devs ;)

1. I'll have a look at your files and try the froyo emulator ASAP.

2. Sorry, resume broken downloads not implemented yet. I suppose it should be the next step :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.19

- disabled "automatically hide notification progress bar" for froyo as it was causing problems.

Thanks varun.chitre15 for helping on this ;)

Looks like you can't change the visibility of a remoteView in the notification bar under froyo, would be nice to know if it works well on gingerbread. Anybody?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Anything to comment on the latest version? Any more notification problems on froyo or gingerbread?

Do you think it's ready to be published on the market?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Working fine here (running JB)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Published! :)
[Android Apps and Games] BleedingIris:
Hi

Is it also possible to use both 2g and 3G connection at the same time?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Hi!

As far as I know, this is not possible, sorry :-/
[Android Apps and Games] BleedingIris:
Well anyway..thanks for this app!
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
What's your take on the next feature(s) to implement?
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
1. Native history support instead having dependencies on stock download manager

2. Resume support even after completely force stopping the app

3. ICS style layout and visual tweaks and look improvements.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
my vote goes to, in this particulate order :D

Option to set download folder per download

Resume broken downloads
[Android Apps and Games] djjosef:
maybe a lil bit faster but not much. i will try it again later. :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
it depends on many factors: it may be much faster or even slower depending on the phone, the site you download from, the carrier, the reception... :)
[Android Apps and Games] hungsolow:
I love this app. Bought it immediately after announced on the portal. It never prompts me though as I now use Dolphin Browser. What's the deal?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
With dolphin browser (and some other browser like firefox) you need to long-tap on the link and click "share with".

This is because they default to using their internal download managers.

Hope that helps ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BleedingIris:
Yes resume support even after a reboot and auto retry feature and if possible add a mini browser for direct downloading from filesharing sites like rapidshare

May be that's asking too much..lol
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I can see a trend :)

*moves "resume broken downloads" up the task list*
[Android Apps and Games] asianboy9:
Another vote here for download resume.

:D
[Android Apps and Games] youngSWi:
I got a FC on my evo v on virgin mobile. Rooted, s off, midnight Rom, anthrax kernal. Its ics.

Only happened once and is running good now. :) Ty!

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Yes it needs resumable downloads! Its a deal breaker for a lot of people.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I'm already working on it (not trivial, but definitely doable, just needs some time).

If you happen to get other FCs, please post logcat.

Many thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
What do you think about this new layout? :)

It's coming in the next version, along with resume broken and other fixes ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Looks damn good!! :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Looks nice but it is too huge

Maybe a small toggle with "Less details" which will show only size, name and speed and "More details" which will show all these details :D
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Looks great, looking forward to this.
[Android Apps and Games] premaca:
Agree with this suggestion. When there are multiple downloads simultaneously probably the new design looks bloated and too much scroll required. We can have quick data in one or two lines, followed by 'more details' popup for each download. Just a suggestion ! Hesitant to try out at first, once tried, This app is incredible!!
[Android Apps and Games] premaca:
Occasionally I observed it gets stuck at 'Finishing download' and its quite annoying after it happened downloading 150mb cm10 rom zip file. Restarted four times and all times it stuck exactly there. Waited for 10-15 mins but didn't finish up. Would you please look into this bug? Thanks, most of the cases works fine, i have all settings on, dual,aggressive etc.
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Same thing happened here :(

tried like 5 times and all gets failed after download is complete but ends up in a failure message :banghead:
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks for reporting.

I'm already after this issue, I've managed to reproduce it (although non constantly) on my phone.

The new version, coming soon, should fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.20

- restart broken downloads

- memory usage reduced

- new main window layout

- elapsed time added

- raised priority of threads

- indeterminate progress when finishing

- holo style progress bar on ics and later

- on invalid url, download was not shown

- many other fixes and improvements

There are really a lot of changes in this release! And since I'd like it to become version 1.0, I need your testing abilities more than ever!
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
App doesn't start it pops up and disappears but in notification bar it says invalid URL
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Let me explain briefly how "restart broken downloads" work.

Suppose some temporary files are left because the program has been closed by the system or by the user (for example by swiping it out of the task list).

Then 2 things can happen:

1) the application is opened with the icon: since it receives no url to download, it will look for incomplete ones, will find it and automatically restart downloading.

2) the application is started from a link or share: if the url is the same as the previously broken download, it will restart where it left. If it's not, it will start the new download. After that, point 1) can still happen.

Hope that helps and is what to expect from the app.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Try removing the "superdownload" folder from sdcard and let me know if that works.

It might be that, when the new version is installed, it needs to clean the directory first.
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Bingo!! Its working now

Edit: while downloading a file I can't open the app even of I try opening it from the notification bar or from app drawer :P
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
That's true! how could I not notice it!

Sorry, fixing now :)
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Hehehe no problem bro!

Download seems completed now but seems that its stuck due to app not opening didn't receive any notification of download complete.. not sure if it has anything to do with it

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Sorry for my spam :p

While download was stuck at the end I force closed the app and reopened it and I was glad to see the download restarting at where it was when I force closed it ;)

Now download was complete successfully without the need to redownload the whole file more than once :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I've updated the apk with the two fixes (it's the same version).

Please redownload and reinstall :)

Sorry guys!
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Does it still hang on "finishing" to some of you?

Is the "restart broken" working fine?

Any other issues?

I'm looking forward to publish this as it's 1.0 and because it should be pretty stable :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
No no wait :D

---Bugreport---

1. Serious bug- Downloader doesn't finish the download, many times it gets stuck on 100% and even if it completes sometimes the file is BROKEN!!

----Suggestions----

1. Whenever any download is paused and app is closed completely and when it is opened it automatically resumes the brocken download, so instead of starting it automatically it will be great if we are provided with a choice like this

"Do you want to resume previously broken download?"

With options

"Yes" - which resumes it

"Start new"- which opens up add URL dialog box

"No"- which shows default empty screen.
[Android Apps and Games] crotchfist:
has this been tested on a MS2 running CM10 yet?

looks like i'll just have to try it. :P
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
All running great but still downloads are not finishing. They getting stuck I have to force close the app and reopen it. Then the download will resume and completes the download successfully :D

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Running CM10 here on a SGS3 :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
people with the sticky "finishing" issue, please post logcats, as now I'm unable to reproduce it any longer.

i suppose there were multiple causes for it to happen.

I wonna squash that nasty bug!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Will do so in a bit
[Android Apps and Games] iONEx:
Anyone experiencing bootloops after installation?

Re-flashed ROM, installed app, again bootloop :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Lol can't reproduce it download finished successfully

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

Nope zero issues here
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I reasonably think it shouldn't be SD to blame: apart from the root commands, which do not modify any file, it's a pretty standard application, and doesn't run until it's requested.

If you post some logs, and some more info, I'll be glad to try and help you on this issue :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Since it might depend on network fails, please try in a low reception area or on a slow or buggy website :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.21

- fixed screen rotation

- fixed speed and remaining time when resuming broken download

The hanging issue when finishing is really making me go mad :)

It's the only important issue left, afaik...
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Trying to replicate it to provide a log but no success lol
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
well that's good. Or not? hmmmm.....

LoL!!!

thanks for your support and have a fine weekend!
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
It is good in deed lol!

Same to you buddy :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] hanschke:
any reason why we dont get the update via playstore?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Because I still haven't published the new version in the market.

I want to be sure it works well so I was waiting for some feedbacks here on this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] iONEx:
OK, I don't know what the problem was, but I got it working now :D

Thing is, when I used Opera it wouldn't catch any DL links. Then I tried Ninesky and Easy browser, and it works.

Any reports on not working with Opera? BTW- Opera doesn't have a share with option when long tapping on link :P Just share URL option.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Glad that I didn't brick anything :)

I never tried opera, so I don't know, but does it work if you choose "share url"?
[Android Apps and Games] igeekyayush:
Looks promising. Let's try it out. Thanks for download link.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
published 0.21 now :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
Thank you so much for this app. My speeds are faster than my home WiFi now haha! How sad for my WiFi.
[Android Apps and Games] predatOr:
Any way to set it as default downloader coz the downloading didn't start from the browser

I had to copy the URL to start it...

The speed is a little bit better than default ICS downloader

:cool: for XPERIA mini st15i smultron
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
You can find answers to your question (and other useful information) in the second post (FAQ).
[Android Apps and Games] BleedingIris:
Sorry but can you make the app non out of memory killable by adding service or notification icon

It gets killed easily,when I open a game..
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
The download is already handled by a service and notifications can be enabled in the preferences. There might be other tricks to make it "stickier".

Do you think it gets killed easier than similar applications?
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Yes! it gets killed easily

Can you make it 'Hard to Kill', 'Bulletproof' :D ?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I have a couple of ideas, let me elaborate :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.22

- doesn't hide main window when restarting

- tries harder not to be killed (only when notifications are enabled)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Works good now.

Now time for multiple downloads! :D
[Android Apps and Games] BleedingIris:
Sorry to bring up bugs all the time,

.

.

Yes I think it's much hard to kill now...it doesn't close after I open the game..

But I think this one should be easily fixable...

I download from file sharing sites and when I put the URL the space is very small...about half of the URL it doesn't allow inside the space for adding URL
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I will provide a bigger text input field, then :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
here it is :)

1.0

- multi-line add url text field
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks, I will have a look as soon as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] BleedingIris:
Ok I've used a turbobit premium link...

I think it doesn't happen with other links

Ok bye
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Could you post a url sample, so I can try to reproduce the crash?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
1.0 published on the market.

Now a little pause, then I'll start experimenting on some new ideas :)
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Hello elban

I managed to pull some logs for you while downloading a CM nightly from CM mirrors and having the download stuck on downloading even while the download is complete.

Hope you can pinpoint the issue :)

[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
I had this issue a couple times today.. Seemed to only do it on certain files... For instance, it wouldn't finish codename android 3.6.5 even though it was at 100%..But the gapps package worked no problem.. Also, it wouldn't download multiple files at once still for me, thought this was working.. Had to wait till I was done the rom download before it would start the gapps package
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
that is possible

yeah multiple downloads doesn't work here either.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Many thanks for the logs. I'll have a look asap.

Multiple simultaneous downloads are not supported yet.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I had a look. Apart from the usual timeouts on mobile connection, which are to be expected, there are some process kills which I do not understand.

So I have some questions:

- I see both logs have a restart at some point: is it on purpose, or did the app crash and you restarted it?

- The system is killing processes without apparent reason. Which device are you using, how much ram does it have? Where you using some heavy applications while downloading?

Since there are no direct and clear cues on all the logs I've seen so far, I need to go by the statistical route :)

I see that, when the problem is present, I can see connection errors while finishing. This may be related to the issue.

So I need some more information:

- does it happen using dual networks only, or with a single network as well?

- does it happen on low reception/slow sites only, or in any case?

Thanks very much for the time dedicated to testing superdownload! :)
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Thanks for your time Elban

Firstly my device is the International Samsung Galaxy S3 which runs with 1 GB of RAM. And i have never force closed nor restarted the app when i provided the logs and wasn't doing any heavy tasking while downloading.

I had the same download getting stuck issue even when running full signal bars on HSPA network so i dont think signal has anything to do with it. But again i am not engineer nor coder to judge :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Could you try this build?

I'm bugfixing almost blindly :)

Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sandy_tea:
Nope..I've tried any types of files but it doesn't seem to recognize any of them..
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
What device, rom, browser?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sandy_tea:
It's Xperia X8 running Custom Gingerbread ROM..I tried only in Stock Browser..I know my device won't be able to run both wifi and 3G altogether but at least it should be working if I use either one of them right?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Yes it should work with a single network as well. But why shouldn't it be able to use both?

About your issue, it's probably related to the fact that I did very little testing on gingerbread (read: none :-)).
[Android Apps and Games] alatedseraph:
no it doesnt, it just starts downloading right away in the status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
new build:

0.3

- reworked interface

- fixed intent-filters (better compatibility for use in "share with")

- removed some debugging code

- added "about"
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Tested on froyo and gingerbread, via emulator, and the application starts as expected. There must be something preventing it from starting (permissions, maybe?). Anyway, see below for an alternative method.

For those of you having problems with the application not triggering, try the "share with" method:

tap and hold on the link, click "share with", select Super Download.

Let me know if it works.
[Android Apps and Games] sandy_tea:
Well I have tried that before posting and yet I didn't see SuperDownload at all when sharing the link..I have tried some downloader apps and all works..I'm really curious with yours..
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Did you try "share with" with the latest version? There are some changes related to that issue.

Thanks for your testing :-)
[Android Apps and Games] sandy_tea:
Wow..it's working now with the latest version..and very very fast indeed..thanks a lot for this great apps..

PS :It's great to have the remaining time visible but wouldn't it be much better if we also can see the remaining bytes or at least the percentage?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks!

I just thought the progress bar was enough, but I can add any info, I just need to be careful to make it pretty and not overloaded.
[Android Apps and Games] ruffneckZeVo:
This shows to work I mean it shows my 3g and WiFi on but speed is about the same but then again I'm lucky to get 25 k downloads on 3 g so wont be a big diff nice app tho if u have good 3g
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks for the report.

You may still see better performance than with the stock download manager because of the simultaneous threads. It depends on the server, though. Try playing with the two switches in the preference dialog (more to come).

Without any apps tweaks i get 1.8 mb/s wifi, and im about 10 m away from the modem. The limit is 2.2mb/s and considering 1.8 mb/s via wifi should be more than enough.

[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Could you please give some more information? For example what rom.

Are you using the latest version?

Did you try the "send with" method?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.4

- better failure management

- big chunks option

- threading tweaks

- more accurate final speed reporting

- percentage added
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
If there is nothing to report, I'm going to start working on the "multiple files" feature, which requires quite a bit of work. So, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] kijp15:
This is not a report, but what browsers are supported for Super Download & how do I get "share with" tab? When I long press on a link I don't have that option. :(

Does the last build work better?
[Android Apps and Games] techspecs:
I still get hanging downloads on this latest version. Maybe more so than the previous one. It will get to 100% and not do anything. If I cancel and then resume, it will advance to finishing and finished.

I am really sorry bro I didn't have the chance to test anything due to excessive load of work :banghead:

Nevermind, it does happen to me pretty often as well :)

Thanks for your help and take your time.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
please guys try this build, let's hope the issue of hanging "downloading" is fixed :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
1.1

- fixed possible FC when detecting partial download

- fixed hanging issue when finishing download

- some code cleanup

- bigger chunks: should make it a bit faster

This build is the same as the one from yesterday. It doesn't hang any longer on my phone, let me know your take ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dickeplatte:
Hello,

i have a problem with my phone. Maybe your program could be a workaround for it. If my phone stays longer than ~ 10mins in standby while connected with wifi it can't establish a mobile data connection. Solution is reboot or the flight mode. So maybe your program is a workaround for this problem

long story short:

Does this program keep the mobile data connection always active or does it start the mobile data connection only when something is downloaded.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
This application uses a special type of mobile connection, which is brought up on demand.

I fear it's not the right solution for you :-/

I think you'd better look for an update to your baseband (modem) firmware, to your rom or a different rom altogether. Look in your device specific forum.
