ReplyDeleteHi Xtin,
DeleteThanks for coming.
Try to re-load that webpage. Once the webpage is fully loaded, then save the webpage for offline reading. Close the Browser app and turn off Wi-Fi or mobile data. Now, try to open the Browser app again and then open the saved pages and then let me know what happens.
I'm having the same problem, but I get an error message that says "couldn't save for offline reading". I'm trying to save a tumblr post.
DeleteHi Andréa,
DeleteThanks for coming and also I'm so sorry for late answer.
So, did this error also occur when you tried to save for offline reading with another webpage? FYI, I've tried to save a tumblr post, but the Save for offline reading option was disabled untill I scrolled down the webpage and I noticed that the option to save for offline reading suddenly became enabled.
I try opening a saved page on my galaxy s3, but it just says "unfortunately, internet has stopped" and closes out of the internet. ?!?!?
DeleteHi Justin Jones,
DeleteThanks for coming.
Try to clear its cache and data from the application manager and then restart the phone. Once the phone is turned on, try to save a page and then open it, see if the problem is solved.
Other way, you can try to use third-party Browser app that has a save page feature (e.g: Firefox or Opera Mini).
My Galaxy 3 Note has no option for saving a page and my Note 2 did. Is there a setting that I am missing?
ReplyDeleteAll I have at the top of my menu is bookmarks and history where my note 2 had those plus saved pages?
Help
Hi Buddy,
DeleteThanks for coming.
Does your Galaxy Note 3 use Android Jelly Bean? If so, seems the option to save page in the stock Browser app is not available. But, a user in the Androidcentral forum has confirmed that the option is now available after he updated his phone to Android Kitkat.
I also get error message couldn't save for offline reading for some particular site plz tell me hoe to solve this problem
ReplyDeleteHi Ritu,
DeleteThanks for coming.
I also noticed that some webpages can't be saved for offline reading. But, some of them finally let me do so after I scrolled down the whole page. However, can you please tell me what's webpage you want to save for offline reading?
Its India forum webpag.....
ReplyDeleteHi Ritu,
DeleteThanks for coming back here.
If you don't mind, you can try to use another third-party Browser app that will let you to offline reading (e.g: Opera mini).
Other way, you can try to use Pocket app (here's the link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideashower.readitlater.pro). Install this app on your phone. Then open a webpage you want to save for offline reading from the Browser app. Once the webpage is fully loaded, tap the Menu key then select "Share via" then select "Add to Pocket". Next, you can view it offline through Pocket app. FYI, some webpages with non-article content can't be read offline using this app.
Thank you
DeleteWhen I try to access my older saved pages, it just goes to "unfortunately the internet just stopped working"
ReplyDeleteHi Nico Guevara,
DeleteThanks for coming.
1. Try to clear the Internet app cache
In the apps menu, drag the Internet app to the App info icon located at the top of the screen, and then tap "Clear cache" button and then tap "Force stop" button. Now, try again to open up your saved pages.
2. Try to reset app preferences
If the #1 didn't help, try to Go to Settings> tap "More" tab> tap "Application manager"> in the Downloaded tab, tap the Menu key and then select "Reset app preferences". Once done, restart the phone and try again.
Hope it helps :)
Thank you. This worked for me.
ReplyDeleteHi Yommydike,
DeleteThanks for coming and let me know that it worked on your phone :)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan u help me?!? I lost all my offline saved pages.How can i get it back?
Hi Damien Schaaf,
DeleteThanks for coming.
First, may I know how did you lose them?
Did you perform clear data for the Internet app?
From what I know, there's no way to get them back when they have been deleted.
For further prevention, when you have saved some pages in the Internet app, you can share the link of those saved pages to your email or memo or else so that when you accidentally delete them you can retrieve them using those links.
