I will use ESPN.com as my example for my problem. I have a couple of browsers in my little widget I have on the screen and ESPN is one of them. I set it up so when I click on ESPN it will send me to ESPN.com. about a week ago I went into an article on ESPN, after that, every time I go on to ESPN through the bookmark widget, it directs me to ESPN.com/what.ever.that.article.was. it won't send me to ESPN.com home page like before. I tried to delete that bookmark and readding it but nothing helps. ESPN.com is not my only website issue.. any fix?
After I started syncing the tablet with Chrome, I've been getting bookmark bugs everywhere. Bookmarks will randomly change to URLs I've visited before no matter how many times I change them back. I tried clearing browser data to make it stop syncing with my Google account (since apparently you can't disable it after you set it) but it still happens with a few particular bookmarks. It actually began affecting my bookmarks on my desktop running Chrome as well by moving bookmarks around and changing URLs. Although turning off bookmarks sync on my desktop stop the issue there. Still happens on the tablet.
I try doing the same as you do but nothing helps:/ starting to piss me off!

Had the same problem on my tab. One bookmark would always change. Never figured out how to fix it.
I'm trying to figure it out but I got nothing! Any help from anyone else?

I try to use browser to view facebook but it show connection error,so can`t play FaceBook games. it's that any fix?
In the address bar type about:debug and then go to settings>debug and change uastrings to desktop then type about:debug to get out of debug again
You can do what he said, but I found that I would often go back to android mode. So I have switched to dolphin browser HD and set it to desktop mode as default and have a gesture set up if I want to use mobile mode. Much easier and no problems with Facebook or other sites yet.

I had this issue. Only started after installing the facebook app. I uninstalled the app and clear cache and changed uastring to desktop and it works pretty good. Only issue is after several hours of the tablet being idle and the tab open I see the issue pop up. I close the tab and launch a new one and I am good to go.
thank you for reply
im having serious facebook issues on my tablet too!
the facebook app never worked for me properly (couldnt see the feed screen) so i uninstalled it. I also tried connecting my facebook in Pulse Newsreader but that also didnt work either. Only way I could get it working was via the built in social jogger app which actually has quite a nice interface but is somewhat limited.
Also last night I tried browsing facebook via the default browser and it loaded the first time and then stopped loading after clicking a 'see all comments' link.
anyone know the cause?
I have been unable to sync my browser bookmarks with Google chrome, I already tried the clear cache thing and the delete data thing and it doesn't work, I also tried deleting my Google account in the "Account and Sync" and remaking it.
When I went into the account and sync and forcing a sync with the refresh button, everything syncs fine but the "Sync Browser" would show the syncing icon but it would move for a few minutes then stop but not disappear.
I have the same problem. I did some Googling and it looks like it could be a bug with 3.22 (
My 3G Xoom's still 3.1
Im having this problem as well,been trying to figure out what the deal is. The only way i fixed this problem is to do a factory reset any idea's here i wanna fix this but dont want to have to rebuild everthing again.
same here. Some bookmarks synched but last few days sync browser shows icon and won't disappear.

I had the same issue a week ago and spent ages trying to force it to resync using various methods. I think it was an issue with Google's systems as 3 days later I did a sync and it all worked fine without me doing anything.
So far I have tried a factory reset and still no dice so I think the problem is on Google's side.
Update: It seems to be okay updating them a few at a time
pretty sure it's on google's side. I've spent hours on this and so has another member of the forums named mike. Wiped cache within the browser then went into app settings and wiped cache/data/force closed. Then went to google dashboard and reset chrome sync. Then launched xoom browser and it worked every time, however, the second I reimported my bookmarks on my desktop (they had to be empty to get the xoom to sync) it would break again. Left it sitting a few hours and it synced the folders but none of the bookmarks in them. Logcat said that it was losing the data stream mid sync and was either a problem of wrongly reported size of data being transported or loss of connection. I'm betting on google's side.
i had the same issue (Gapps would FC) and i got it to work. It seems i had to many bookmarks. I did a back up on my desktop and deleted a bunch of bookmarks. I would slowly add more to it and resync. Since the bookmarks were already on the xoom it would just add the others. I now have all my bookmarks and they sync with out a problem now.
Has anyone been able to get chrome bookmark sync to work? It starts syncing and then freezes. Anyone?

I just moved from IE to Chrome just this past week. It imported my "favorites" from IE to 'bookmarks" in Chrome with no issues. BTW, I love this browser... I'm still learning the Chrome so I am not sure what to tell you to try. Maybe one of your links are corrupted? Try one first and see if you get the same results. Good luck.

Its not the same thing. Chrome bookmark sync syncs your bookmarks from chrome to your google account and them you can sync the browser on the tablet so you have the same bookmarks. In theory anyway, as I cant seem to get it to work
I didn't realize that desktop Chrome will sync with the tab's stock browser. I switched from Chrome to Opera on my desktop so I could have the sync with Opera Mobile. Opera syncs pretty well and updates fairly fast. I'm still learning to get comfortable with Opera but I think I like Chrome better. But I'm not going back to the stock browser - no way no how. Oh well.

Mine works without a problem.
It never froze for me.
One issue I have noted that may frustrate you enough not to bother with synch is the folders don't synch properly. I ended up with only the top level (root dir?) of bookmarks and none of the sub-folders came through.
I had at least 17 bazillion book marks sorted into 20 or 30 million folders so I am an extreme example.But man, that annoyed me enough lay waste to a small country.
Bookmark syncing working fine for me between the stock browser and Chrome.
For the people that have no issues with Chrome sync, can you comment on how many bookmarks you are dealing with?
I ask because there has been talk about a 100 bookmark per day limit on the Google forums.

I'm gonna have to look at those threads later. I have hundreds of bookmarks, so maybe that's it. Some synced last night, but I have a bunch of my folders with no bookmarks in them. Also, if I go to the accounts page on my transformer, the synch icon next to browser only spins a couple times, then freezes

After the Touchwiz update, my bookmarks disappeared and it doesn't look like Google sync is working. Any ideas how to get this to work or some alternative way to syndrome my Google Bookmarks?
Try to clear data/cache for the Browser and Google Bookmarks Sync applications, then set up the sync again in the browser settings.
I still have a problem that not all bookmakrs/folders are synced and sometimes I even get FC errors with NPE in the bookmarks synchronization adapter.
Must be some bookmark that triggers it, but had no chance to isolate it yet.
UPDATE: just checked again and all the bookmarks seem to be in sync now, but the layout of folders has changed, it now starts with:
/Google Chrome/Bookmarks/..., then I can see all my bookmarks from the browser, before all the bookmarks and folders were just in the root folder.
Just found that it was already answered at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204048.
Thanks for the heads up. I had replied on that thread earlier and it got moved and I couldn't find it.
Yeah, I hate the new layout. Why can't they just leave what works alone?!
Opened up my stock browser this morning to find all my bookmarks have gone and under settings/synch browser sync is not happening, the two little arrows just sit there.
Any ideas how i get my bookmarks back?

hmmmm...
You had synchs yesterday, and now you don't.
So, it seems you had something happen. An app install perhaps?
Also, if the same synch linked to another device's google account? Yes, I have 3 devices.
Can you get the bookmarks back? Probably not. Unless you did a system or Nand backup recently.
I'm having the same issue. My bookmarks are all still in Chrome on my PC but won't sync to my tablet. Working fine with my phone. I haven't installed anything recently.
Maybe some kind of epidemics ! I got same issue. All of my bookmarks vanished couple minutes ago .
It happened to me too this morning right after google maps update.
Did some digging. Looks like the other Honeycomb tablets are having the same problem. I found complaints as far back as August of last year and no solutions.
well this is really strange, my bookmarks have all just reappeared. Anyone else experience this?
