hello every1, hoping some1 can help me figure out this weird thing. I've a Samsung galaxy note 8 (stock RoM, no mods ). when ever i download a file (say a pdf, for example), it says, download is complete. when i try to open, it takes me back to download page. when i search for the downloaded file, i don't find it. when i try to re-download the same file, it says, file already exists. i tried with Samsung browser & chrome. i searched the entire device (internal storage, sd card). searched by file name, searched by file type -- nothing comes up. I've tried few 'tips' or 'hacks' post googling .. settings --> apps-- > reset app preferences, settings --> show system apps --> clear cache of 'download manager' & 'downloads', file manager --> settings --> show hidden files i use only the default 'my files' app that came with the device. this phenomenon started happening only from today (as far as i can tell). earlier, i never had this problem. i don't remember tinkering with any settings on the phone. android ver -9.0, kernel -- 4.4.153, 1ui ver - 1.0
