Same issue without custom ROM.

Hello all,

I have a B60K that I can't seem to get the stock browser to sync bookmarks with. This was on the 3.1 that came with the TF along with the one from earlier today (Kernel 2.6.36.3-00011-g3eb19ec).

It worked fine on my old B50K (also stock, just with the previous 3.1 update).

I have tried Resetting the browser to default a few times along with deleting the account and setting it up so that I am only syncing the browser on the TF and only syncing bookmarks in Chrome.

An odd thing is that now the B50K TF will no longer sync. I had reset it to factory but not returned it yet. If I boot it up and just setup what is needed to sync the browser it doesn't work.

Below are a couple of messages I that helped me find this post.

Any assistance with the sync would be great. That being said, I would also be happy if anyone could point me in the right direction for just importing the bookmarks as a temp work around.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

I am stock 3.1 with latest OTA. The bookmark sync stopped working about a week ago, not long after installing Google+

I get about 50 bookmarks, starting fom the last ones, then sync fails.

Would love to know if anyone has fixed this.

I am getting the exact same thing on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 running rooted-but-otherwise-stock 3.1. I have tried deleting the account but that didn't help. Local problem (client) or problem on Google's side? Any known fix yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
I am having this problem too today. US TF with latest OTA, unrooted. Looks like a server problem.

Workaround is to export your chrome bookmark into Dropbox.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napoleonmm83:
Thank you and where should I put the bookmarks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
I am also not sure what to do once I get a bookmark folder onto the TF. While Dropbox will make it easier to keep them synced, it doesn't actually help those of us that are looking for a method of importing them into the stock browser.

Is the idea that it is just an html file that we call up with one long list of bookmarks?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
In the interim, you could try chromemarks, it will at least extract all your synced bookmarks into the app, and you can launch from there. The dev noted that Google made changes to their db structure which required a fix on July 12. That's right around when my sync started to fail.

I haven't found a way to import into the stock browser. Looking forward to seeing this fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
Thanks mike5065. I tried chromemarks. Now I do have my Chrome bookmarks on the TF. That said, I need the full chromemarks version to integrate them into the stock browser.

Does anyone have any ideas for a free method to import bookmarks into the stock browser?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napoleonmm83:
Don't buy the full version of chromemarks it can't integrate bookmarks to the tf browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
Thanks for saving me (and it sounds like some others) some money. Does anyone have any other ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autoxer:
hello all, and just wanted to share a bit of info I saw on the web--can't remember where. It seems Google changed the way it handles chrome bookmarks and sync sometime about a week ago, and that's why we can no longer sync. Hopefully an update will come that fixes it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
Wow, I just figured out some interesting things that might help clarify troubleshooting and apps for this issue for others as well.

There is a distinct difference between Chrome Bookmarks and Google Bookmarks. Further, they are not compatible. In fact if you want to import Chrome Bookmarks into Google Bookmarks you have to either do it via Firefox or a Delicious Bookmarks account. At any rate, Google Bookmarks seem to work fine syncing with HC right now. It is just the Chrome Bookmarks that are having an issue.

Here is a Google forum entry where they seem to be tracking a current issue with Chrome Bookmarks not syncing:

http://www.google.com/support/forum...ae&hl=en&fid=27043147d44d99ae0004a85d5169dc33

It may be a good idea if we start posting to that forum in order to (maybe) speed up any fix. It may add more urgency to the issue if Google realizes that the scope of the impact is greater then they thought.

Hope this is helpful to some.

Oh, on a quick side note, does anyone know if there is a name for the Honeycomb stock browser? Googling "Honeycomb stock browser" for this issue doesn't seem to help narrow down the search. It would be nice if I knew the name.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
A bit update: if you go to settings->accounts & sync->manage accounts, click the up-right corner sync icon, you might notice the same thing as mine: all other sync are updated with the current time except the "sync browser".

The strange thing on mine is that part of the bookmarks are synced, but not all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaikwad:
looks like it might be fixed, my bookmarks started magically syncing again today
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
No such luck for me. I did get two empty folders to show up, but nothing else. Are you sure you got all of your bookmarks? Can you check HC account settings to see if the browser has really finished syncing?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
I give up.

So, I spent about 5 hours playing around with this tonight. I was just about ready to return the TF and just see how I would do living without it until the next something better came along.

I started with the last post from the Chrome forum I have been watching:

http://www.google.com/support/forum...ae&hl=en&fid=27043147d44d99ae0004a85d5169dc33

It indicated that the person was able to clear the issue with Chrome syncing by either resetting the account information (within Chrome) or re-installing Chrome. So I tried both of those with no luck.

That got me started thinking about using older versions of Chrome as it was indicated that a Chrome update may be the cause. This link will let you download the install files for older versions of Chrome:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=385de6c3db2b99e1

I tried quite a few versions (including the v14 canary beta) going back to 11.0.696.71 (25-MAY-2011). I made sure that I deleted my Chrome sync data with Google and bookmarks along with clearing out the HC stock browser each time.

No good.

As I had totally trashed my Chrome install and bookmarks so many times I just tried syncing with a small number of bookmarks. That actually worked. I ended up slimming down the bookmarks to ones I really wanted and was able to get 12 to sync, although still with some errors.

At this point I am doubting that it ever really worked, that maybe I was only ever able to get a random small number in the beginning. It isn't like I actually verified them at the time or checked the account settings to see if it finished.

While I am more then happy to help anyone else work on this issue, I give up on the solo act. I hope this post helps anyone else with the issue.

I hope that Google actually gets to a point where their stuff works someday.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
I appreciate your tests and posts, and chasing this with Google, thanks.

Disappointed that Google is taking this too casually, since I moved off FF to get the (full) sync feature for the TF.

In theory this should be great, but I am getting tired of hacking to get a solution.

As of this morning, my bookmark sync started from the left side folders (it always started right side before) so now at least I have the more significant bookmarks available. It synced 91 bookmarks, and still missing about 100 or so, but at least the lesser 100.

I will hang in till 3.2, and if no fix is available, go back to FF.

Browse selection is so crucial, I am shocked they are not working on this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
Thanks Mike. Yeah, hopefully the 3.2 update will help. I have been trying other browsers as well. I just have to say that I really liked the beta navigation in the stock browser a lot and have not found anything else that I am as happy with.

I am also kind of surprised there hasn't been more activity on this thread. Makes me wonder how many people actually have the issue.

All in all I have been very happy with the TF up to this point. Honestly the battery drain issue didn't bother me as much (I mean I did return my B50 dock for a B60 dock that works better). I guess that I expect more issues from the manufacturer on a new product as opposed to Google working within their own product groups.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmikeal:
Android forum thread for this issue.

Hello all,

One of the Google representatives on the Chrome thread I had been following directed me to this Android specific thread for the issue:

http://www.google.com/support/forum...64&hl=en&fid=264161112c8ef4640004a89b4365aa94

While it does not look that helpful now there was the innuendo that the Android team was watching it and would take some action. It will likely help if XDA members start posting there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
Noticed when I deleted a synced bookmarks, another took its place.

Meaning, I had 96 bookmarks within 14 folders, then I deleted one from the first folder, and within a day a new bookmark arrived in the last folder. Not on the first sync, but at some point during the day when I wasn't using it. Interesting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbilko:
I am also having this problem, does anyone have another suggestion for a fix?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TsaiKimon:
ive had this issue since about 2 weeks a ago. I was on 3.1 but the move to 3.2 did nothing to cure the problem. I should mention that I'm using tiamat rom and kernel. Here is what I have found. I can consistantly get sync working properly if I follow these steps:

1. Go to Google dashboard, scroll down to chrome sync and stop syncing and delete sync'd data. A link appears stating a request has been put in but nothing more happens. You will notice however that all desktop versions of chrome have automatically erased any account info although local bookmarks remain.

2. Go into manage bookmarks on desktop PC and export bookmarks to an HTML file on your desktop.

3. While still in manage bookmarks delete ALL bookmarks.

4. Open browser (stock) on xoom, go into settings then clear cache.

5. Close browser and go to honeycomb setings > manage applications > all > browser, then clear cache first, then data, then force close.

6. Next go back to desktop and resync chrome browser that has ZERO bookmarks on it. It must not have the bookmarks you exported back on it.

7. Now open browser on xoom and go into its settings and choose sync with chrome.

8. Go back into honeycomb settings > accounts and sync > choose your Google account and then press the sync button everything will sync including the browser!!!

From this point any bookmarks that you create on the xoom or the desktop WILL sync but the second you attempt to import the bookmarks into your desktop chrome that you exported in step 2 the whole thing goes to crap, will no longer sync, and you will have to repeat the entire process again.

This tells me one of two things. Either the services is choking on the large number of bookmarks or something about the collection of bookmarks is killing the connection to the sync server.

I hope this helps move toward a solution. Don't give up!!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckuke4:
I had this problem too and tried everything that was suggested in here to no avail, thanks for all the tips though! I have since got my bookmarks to sync but have no clue what actually did it. I did manually sync the bookmarks and kept doing it over and over and it synced some of them and eventually all of them. This really seems like a server problem because even now that my bookmarks are synced it still has problems...for instance all my other syncs are dated today but the bookmarks has yesterdays date. It must sync ok sometimes because my bookmarks have been back for about a week now. Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
How quicky do new bookmarks get synced between the different browsers? Normally this within a few seconds...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TsaiKimon:
After I do my method it's within seconds. However once I import bookmarks to chrome desktop....toast!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
I still have this problem, even with the 3.2 update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardy81:
Same problem. Have on android about 90 of the 338 bookmarks in all. Have done all the tricks several times over. Frustrating.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckuke4:
follow up

spoke too soon on this, bookmarks in my folders have not synced, others have, just assumed they were in there and never checked. Hope this gets fixed soon. Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
No change on mine, even after factory reset. Still about 100, only, with no recent updates (which is a big beal for me).

Still can't believe Google is asleep on this.

Very different than everything I have seen from them, which is why I went Android in the first place.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardy81:
Decided in the end to create a second google account and sync that. Works. A high amount of bookmarks may take days to sync on android though, unless you keep pushing the sync button in settings for an hour or so...

Market allows to use any google account (set in device accounts) so that will not be a broblem.

[Epic 4G General] wynand32:
I've been experiencing the issue of outgoing audio cutting out during phone calls. I'd noticed it first when I tried EF02 and a variety of modems, and now I'm experiencing it still after going back to EC05 with the EC05 modem. Toggling speakerphone "fixes" the problem for that call.

I suppose what I'm trying to figure out is: could having tried EF02 have done something that going back to EC05 didn't resolve? Or perhaps was this happening after EC05 was OTA'd and I just didn't notice it? Is anyone having this on stock EC05?

Before I push to replace what's otherwise a perfect Epic, I want to see if this is a hardware or a firmware issue.
[Epic 4G General] Not too sure:
Same issue

I am having the same issue. Tried EF02, which seemed to work great for awhile. Used Odin to return to stock for a completely different issue. Since that time on long calls...in excess of 10 minutes the person on the other end suddenly cannot hear me, and I hear them fine.

Currently ECO5 rooted, but stock otherwise.

Any ideas? I didn't see any answers to the first post, and don't see anything when I searched, prior to this post.

HI guys, after flawless months spent on Fr18beta2 from Modaco, I decided to jump the hurdle & try this MKV-reading-supposed-to-be-snappier ROM (2.6.32.9, FRG83G)... while it does what it says (MKV support.. btw, is there a way to store LARGE files on ext-sd and have them read properly ???), I now get ridiculous Quadrant scores (1850~~) AND am not able to access the internal 8gb memory from my windows explorer...

Does it seem normal to you ? Is there a way to speed things up ??? Is there a Kernel I could use without losing mkv compatibility ???)

Thanks in advance for your answers !:)

These are my observations in comparing my out of shop v10a ROM versus the June released v10d ROM here in the Philippines.

Pros:

GPS fix is now so much faster.

Battery stays at 100% longer.

After turning off USB mass storage mode, exit animation is now android-managed (faded zoom) compared to a slide out.

Cons:

PlayerPro 2.06 crashes.

There are times that if you plug your headset while the screen is off, it will not be detected. (It needs to be plugged while screen is on).

Overall, I am very happy with this ROM compared to the old stock. (All my mods in my sig.)

Hey,

I've been looking to get a matte back cover for my arc, on the grounds that I think the shiny back looks a bit cheap and the matte ones are easier to hold and feel better.

I was just wondering if anyone is selling, or knows of anyone selling, these back covers either in Europe (to avoid the huge delivery times on most on eBay), OR for less than £9.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Battery-Back-...Parts_Tools&hash=item3a66f6d28e#ht_3458wt_905

Thats the thing I'm on about, but they all seem to be imported from Asia and quite expensive for what's basically a thin piece of plastic.

Also, if anyone DOES have one, what's it like to use? Are they loose or anything, basically are they built up to standard?

Cheers all! :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
Did the same things as I couldn't take the wobble feeling anymore. If the matte cover still wobbles, I probably have to buy a case or move on to another phone. Unfortunately, others make ugly phones. Only Atrix is somewhat impressive of the rest.
