SOLVED: 'Download Unsuccessful' Error Notification in Android

Problem:
For a while, it has been an exhausting issue to fix with website users that when trying to download pdf files through the android stock browser or android chrome browser or some other browsers.. 
they get a 'Download Unsuccessful' notification.

Solution:
Now it got clear once understood that android file type association requires certain applications to open specific file types..

As long as the file type you are trying to open\download (pdf, rar, zip, word, …) is unknown or not associated with an existing application.. it won't open\download..

So all you need to do is :
·        If you want to open\download pdf file, install Acrobat Reader first through android PlayStore.
·        If you want to open\download rar, zip etc.. download and install Archidroid from android PlayStore.
·        … and so on.

Conclusion:  
At the end it's not an issue in your website you have to fix.. just file association needs to be fixed in users devices.. that's all J

SOLVED: SharePoint Designer Workflow updates doesn't work!!

This time we faced an issue where even after updating workflow steps conditions and actions it doesn't seem to be applied on the server...
The solution was simple as it seems that SharePoint Designer saves local copies from your servers, and although everything seems OK, this prevents it from updating the workflow ..
To solve this issue:
  1. Close SharePoint Designer
  2. Go to
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
    Or, on older versions of windows:
    C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebSiteCache
  3. Delete either (choose one, based on how annoyed you are by now):
    1. All folders.
    2. The folder that "looks most like your site" (can be more than one: site, site(1), etc, and should be the bottom level site, not the root site)
    3. The relevant DLL in that folder.
  4. Start SharePoint Designer, save the workflow again, it should be ok.
