What am I doing wrong. I put the correct email address, but still shown about 10 a bookmarks. I have about 100 bookmarks so how to import them all?
You can use Chrome to phone to send links to your android device but I don't believed it will auto sync.
EDIT: NVM, I never knew it was an option to sync.

I know it sounds like the usual catch-all solution, but have you tried rebooting? I went through the wizard in the browser settings to set up chrome sync and it still took a while to pick up on all the bookmarks.. I rebooted and there they were. Don't know if the reboot helped or if it would have happened anyway........
My bookmarks synced up pretty quick, without needing to restart.
Make sure you have sync turned on with your desktop Chrome browser.
LOL, just now did the sync and it synced up pretty quick, no reboot needed.
I only have about 30 bookmarks but they all synced fine.
I deleted all the bookmarks, but how to update my bookmarks? I went into the accounts and the sync settings and I updated my Google Account. Sync Browser is selected.
What version are you all using???? (I'm on 3.1)
I don't even have that option in my Sync settings!!

But the Chrome browser that has the bookmarks you want to sync with (I assume your desktop browser)... Did you got into Options, Personal Stuff, and setup the Sync there?

Now works!
there is no setting/selection on my version of 3.1 to sync chrome bookmarks.

sure there is, its in the stock web browser settings window.
On the desktop chrome (not your tablet) go to Tools (the spanner) > Options > Personal Stuff & Sync.
Awww I did a fun little screenshot but can't post it yet due to less than 8 posts.
Thanks all. Figured it out.
Hrm... trying to setup the sync com.google.process.gapps FCs whenever it tries to sync the browser. Persistent through reboots/etc.

it never syncs the contacts though...
Coming from iphone and android. This sync business with the htc hd2 is a real pain in teh ass.
It synced fine but now it keeps on telling me to check my exchange settings.
After it initially synced fine with google.
Hardware rocks but man how do people manage with windows mobile is beyond me.
+1 on the question asked need to know as well.

[email protected]
password ************
domain leave blank
server address M.google.com
also sync it 2times and everything will be there
you should sign up for www.miqlive.com service and you never have to work about importing or exporting of contacts
just to clarify....you are using exchange right? not the default gmail setup?

I'm wanting to import the "Phone" contacts from my g1. these are synced with my google account. If I look at google voice for that account all these contacts are there. So how should I do that?
you need to setup Outlook for your gmail, the default gmail is IMAP and syncs email only.
go to outlook setup and fill in your username and password as your gmail credentials. the domain can be left blank and when asked set the server address as m.google.com
once completed you will be given a column of tick boxes, be sure to untick the tasks option.
then sync. it may take a couple of syncs to work; i find that if i go to the actual Activesync app and hit sync it seems to work better the first time round.

awesome! thanks. How can I get rid of the activesync that's on there now? like the one I already set up?
just scroll to the email tab, press Menu, Account Options, Delete.
Hi,
I found that using ActivSync to connect to "Microsoft Exchange" using the GoogleSync settings worked for me (server address m.google.com).
Regards.

NM, solved.
Mines blank. Are you using HTC's setup wizard or creating an Activesync partnership through Activesync itself?
I always just run the setup by going to Settings, Data Services, Activesync. I then find the actual Activesync programme and select the sync option. Sometimes it takes a couple of goes to kick in, and I usually leave the programme open while it's syncing as occasionally when I put the programme into the background it doesn't finish syncing.
I set my friend up yesterday with this Droid Pro. I had to get him off of that boring ass "Crackberry" he was using. So after hours of backing up his TONS of contacts, pictures and calendar I got it all setup. My only problem is that I can't seem to get the Google calendar to sync. I imported it and I see the entries while in Gmail but when I look at the calendar (widget) on the phone they don't show up. When I check accounts to see what is syncing the only options under Gmail are contacts and mail. On my Incredible calendar is in that list too. Second question is where can I find the option to make the browser default to "full" web pages instead of mobile?
I worked on this phone for hours so I may have just over looked these settings. I checked the places where my Incredible has them and didn't see anything. Any help would be appreciated!

sorry, not sure why this isn't working. I have no idea why the calendar sync isn't showing up

While in your browser
menu->more->settings->User Agent
edit:
Something I found on another forum.
I had the same problem. The following was suggested in another forum and worked for me. Add another gmail account (create one if u have to) . That one should show calendar as an option. Once that one works the original one should work. You can then delete the extraneous one. Makes no sense but solved my problem. Give it a try.

I have my Google Calendar set to sync.. and I have my Calendar online show friends bdays and they all show up just fine on the website. But it doesn't seem like they sync to the phone. Any ideas why?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had problem with google calendar updating. In the calendar I would hit refresh with no effect. If you go to the main menu, settings, sync, and hit the gmail sync, I think it syncs correctly then. Since I manually sync all my apps for battery reasons I just put the "sync all" widget on my homescreen and press it when I want everything to update. Hope that makes some kind of sense and helps.

I've tried to do a manual sync as well. The 'Us Holidays' calendar shows up on my phone. But not the Birthdays. I put the birthdays in my Gmail contacts.. They sync to the calendar online without a problem. For some reason they just don't go to my phone
I had this problem with a friend's shared calendar and was able to fix it.
Verify under Google Calendar you are actively viewing that calendar
Under Accounts and disable the calendar sync for your google account
Under Applications, clear data for "Calendar Storage" note this is different from "Calendar"
Re-enable the calendar sync to resync
That should work. If not, try reversing the order. I did it myself, and a friend of mine fixed his phone after i gave him similar directions.

Worked perfect. Can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks.
Actually. It worked for some people but not all. So weird.
I am currently running Cyannogenmod 7 RC1.
Everything works perfectly and I have great battery. However my gmail won't sync automatically and i have to manually refresh it everytime.
Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a fix for this.
Thank You

I figured it out.
Go into Settings -> Applications -> Gmail and wipe the data and cache for it.
Then go to Settings -> Accounts & sync -> Gmail -> and Sync gmail.
Then it works!!!!
Hi!
I have a normal (non-google) Email IMAP account and use the google account only for the market.
Is there anyway to only use the google account with the market and no other google service. I just don't want google to automatic sync my contacts, my photos, my browser. Under systemsettings, I have disabled Gmail Syncing in the settings, but everytime I open the browser, Google signs in automatically in my google account - another strange thing, this morning, my photos were synced - evn syncing is disabled.
Isn't there just a script which can disables these "phone home" options completely?
Thank you!

Hmm its been awhile since ive ran ICS .. but the apps are located in /system/app you will need to use a root explorer or ADB to remove them .
The app names that i got rid of are ...
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
and nothing syncs .
Ok - thanks! just killed the apps - now it should be ok!
thx,

Setting >> Accounts and Syncs >> **Select the account..like [email protected]**
Clicking on this will open up the options on what all do you want to sync with these google account. Uncheck those you don't want.
Personally i use Google Photos and Contacts.
