Anyone else have this problem? It tells me they are saved, but they dont appear in the bookmarks or any subfolder.
when i encountered a similar problem it wa because i already had the same bookmark in another subfolder. it wont let you save the same bookmark twice
Hi, I also meet some problems to sync the bookmarks. It works for the first time but half of the bookmarks were missing. I deleted all and tried to re-ync from Chrome to stock browser. Now it doesn't work anymore. Sometimes I can sync some folders but they are emtpy. I have more than 2000 bookmarks. No problem to sync all the bookmarks on an Apple Ipad. But on Android Honeycomb, why it is so difficult ?

I've got a new Sprint Mogul that I'm syncing with Windows Vista Home Premium. I have "Mobile Favorites" checked under Change Content Sync Settings. During synchronization, sometimes all or nearly all of my favorites from the Mogul disappear on both the desktop and the handheld.
This occurs often enough that I regularly copy a backup of the folder on both sides since I have to restore it a couple of times per day. It's pretty annoying, since I really do want to be able to edit, add, and maintain mobile favorites on my desktop.
The behavior is thus far unpredictable and inconsistent. Often I can go several syncs without it happening, then favorites suddenly vaporize. One consistent feature is that only favorites in folders disappear - the 2 that are in the root favorites folder never do. Often, the most recently-used, added, or edited on the Mogul will survive, while the rest disappear. Typically, favorites are safe until I use PIE then are liable to vanish, but sometimes I can use it without this happening.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on and how I can stop it?
Same thing happening on my Touch
Found this thread through a Google search. Sorry to revive it but haven't found any explanation for this on the web.
My Mobile Favorites just wink out of existence right before my eyes ... really, I'm staring at my Touch, with ActiveSync cabled in and doing it's thing ... and ... blink ... blink ... blink ... every few seconds another one just disappears.
Very strange.
I'm having the same issue. Has anybody found an explanation or solution?
Favorites disappear - MS aware of bug
I read about this here: https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3808030&SiteID=65
Sounds like a bug that has yet to be resolved.
Oh yeah, it is also an issue with XP SP3 and ActiveSync 4.5.
Here's my solution...
www.dashwire.com....
I let it do the syncing for me as far as Contacts, Texts, Speed Dials, Web Favorites, etc. The only things I really use ActiveSync for now are flashing and transferring large files to my SD card (music, ringers etc.)
Once you get an account on the site and D/L the mobile client to the device, run it and let it sync the first time to save everything (Contacts, texts, Speed Dials, Pictures, etc. If you have alot of pictures it may take a while or even freeze on you, so it might be a good idea to move the pics to your SD card before the the first sync.
After that go into your ActiveSync settings and set it to only sync files and media (unless you use Outlook at home, then set it for that too). Once done, any time you sync that way, it won't touch the Web Favorites and you don't have to worry about losing them. Another good thing is everytime you soft reset your device, Dashwire does a sync just to make sure nothing is lost. It will also put everything back if you flash a new ROM too. (Of course you have to re-install the mobile client and sign in first, but you don't have to worry about losing your Favorites in the process.)
Whats the deal here, im synching my internet favourites, but they only appear in internet explorer favourites, and not operas favourites
how do i get them to sync to opera?
There are a couple of different methods that work for different people, searching is a good idea, heres one that worked for me, but only to a degree, I think I had too many bookmarks for Opera Mobile to handle http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534203
The one I currently use is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512146, be aware that it only syncs the first folder level, not folders in folders.
I'm sure that I'm not alone with wanting to sync my desktop/laptop bookmarks with el Xoomio. The 'problem' is that I use Firefox on the PC, and the native Android browser on the Xoom. I've tried Firefox for Android but it sucks compared to the Android browser... so, what do you guys use to synchronize your bookmarks across devices and platforms?

load up Chrome and import your bookmarks and then you can use a host of bookmark managers to sync with Xoom..... Its not like chrome is a terrible browser its my everyday. But instead of driving yourself crazy this is an easy fix, plus there are import bookmark apps all over the market https://market.android.com/search?q=bookmarks&so=1&c=apps
Yeah I have chrome on the pc as well - I kinda have to as a developer. But it doesn't live up to firefox. On android it's the other way around.
I'm also not looking to import, but to sync. There are quite a few syncing tools out there, hence my question about which way you use (if any). I am aware of the existence of the market.
Sorry if my question was not clear.

I've spent a long time trying to figure out the best way to do this and none of those market apps do it, it's all third party crap.
Finally i found the best combination, so here's my setup.
I keep my work PC and my home PC synced up via Xmarks (free on desktops, not on mobiles)
Then, from my home PC, I set up Firefox Sync and add my Xoom as a device.
All my bookmarks, folders are instantly synced and get's updated when needed.
Chrome does not sync or bookmark properly, no matter how many times i bookmark a site, reload my xoom, it wont be there again. It did it once and never again. Also, try to go over to Firefox and get use to the feel etc. Chrome has absolutely no features and is a dead end browser and does not get updated. Firefox has a new version every day and has a lot of plugins.
Also Dolphin browser is pointless since it has no integration with a desktop client.
most third party apps are stupid folder backups. None can provide an Xmarks setup.

The main reason for me preferring chrome over firefox on the xoom is the lack of tabs in firefox... I really hope they add that soon, it's kind of a necessity for me. Also, chrome loads pages way faster than firefox ( At least for now). I really hope that will get fixed soon
Thanks for the xmarks tip, checking that out now!
Current situation:
Firefox or Chrome (Windows version) users who are used to the convenience of having their bookmarks automatically synced across different PC's (with the help of the native sync function or Xmarks) usually feel a deep sense of loss when they have to browse the Net using their Android device which is void of their PC bookmarks.
A search in Google Play finds that there are quite a number of apps that attempt to import bookmarks from FF or Chrome to an Android device, but they are either handicapped in a major way (e.g. NO import of bookmark folders!) or they are NOT free (e.g. Xmarks Premium). But actually, there is a simple and FREE way of doing so
Solution:
On ur PC, open ur Firefox or Chrome, go to:
1) manage bookmarks/bookmark manager, then
2) export bookmarks as html, then
3) save the <bookmarks.html> file, then
4) Have Opera browser (for Windows) installed in ur PC, then
5) go to "manage bookmarks" in Opera (Windows), then
6) import Firefox/Chrome bookmarks (choose the <bookmarks.html> file that u just created), then
7) Activate "Opera link" at Opera (Windows), then
8) Ur Firefox/Chrome bookmarks (with folders) are now in the cloud hosted by the server of Opera, then
9) Install either Opera Mobile or Opera Mini in ur Android device, then
10) Activate "Opera link" in Opera Mobile/Mini (choose "I have an account" and log in), then
11) After the automatic synchronization... TADA! All ur Firefox/Chrome bookmarks --- neatly organized in their respective folders --- are now in ur Android device!
Limitations:
Automatic syncing of bookmarks between FF/Chrome on ur PC and Opera Mobile/Mini in ur Android is not possible with the above method.
My solution to this limitation is to manually export those FF/Chrome bookmarks to Opera (Windows) (after deleting all bookmarks in Opera (Windows)) from time to time and let Opera (Windows) sync with Opera Mobile/Mini automatically. Since I dun add/delete bookmarks that frequently, the trouble incurred is not a big one.
Hope it helps
Another limitation is that you have to use Opera though.
I just use Chromemarks to sync the bookmarks to the phone. To access my bookmarks, I open Chromemarks first, and hit whichever bookmark to fire up my default browser (which is Dolphin for me).
On the ICS roms bookmarks can be synced easily in chrome bèta or native Internet app.

You mean with Chromemarks, u have to export ur bookmarks ONE by ONE?
How about folders?

Thx for info
When u says bookmarks can be synced easily in native browser, do u mean even Firefox/Chrome bookmarks can be exported to the native browser in ICS roms??
Good evening all.
I have a problem which is doing my head in and would be extremely grateful for your advice.
I have made different folders for my bookmarks and like to save them in specific folders. I can't, however, find a way of doing that when I save one - each time the bookmark is saved in the root folder. I have tried to move the bookmarks later after saving and I can't even do that. In frustration I actually logged in to my mobile account on my desktop and sorted out the bookmarks that way (I have 2 accounts - one for laptop and the other for my mobile/tablet) but surely there must be an easier way!
What browser?
You can move to a different folder in the stock browser by long pressing a bookmark and edit.
Our you on about something else?
Assuming you are talking about Internet bookmarks.
That is why I like Firefox for my web browser. I can use the Firefox sync to keep all my bookmarks synced between my devices and keep them organized in the folders I choose.
Thanks Irish Sid and Donec.
I am definitely talking about the stock browser. I have tried to edit the bookmarks but I just don't get any options of moving them to another folder. It will allow me to click on the 'location' link but when I go there, the only folder I see is the 'Home' folder.
I am very confused!!
