I will.
I'd much rather the freaking feature work though.
It worked earlier on the Xoom and before I sent my tab to get repaired (I guess they updated it, it was gone for 3 weeks.)
Doesn't work on my tab10.1 either, very annoying that there hasn't been any OTA update since release even to fix the browser issues which are as follows:
1. Browser bookmark sync doesn't work
2. Heavy websites causing screen redraw, impossible to scroll from top to bottom without redraw
3. All websites refuse to load and the last website which did load is displayed but in garbled form.
4. Flash causing slowdown and stuttering - try loading www.techradar.com and enable flash and then scroll up and down - it's terrible.
5. Holding down on a weblink doesn't bring up the sharing function to share to another app.

All the same stuff is happening here. Not very happy with it.
Mine never worked until I:
Stop syncing in chrome.
Remove google sync on tablet.
Reboot table.
Start sync in chrome.
Add sync on table.
Has worked ever since. YMMV

Didn't work unfortunately. I guess i could flash a custom rom and see if it works.
This STILL doesn't work for me after a wipe and an upgrade to the latest 3.2 rom.
the sync will work but it might take as long as 2 days.

I've waited weeks before. It doesn't work. It worked fine on my transformer
touch wiz browser sucks
TouchWiz Browser sucks...regular HoneyComb browser worked flawlessly before I updated to TW. THe HC browser synced w chrome no problem. Need to get rid of my SGT10.1 and buy Prime or Acer 510.
I have had to wipe my chrome sync in the Google Dashboard twice since I got my tab in early December to fix the sync problem. Whether it's the tab's fault or your stored data's fault I don't know. After you get it set up again it can take 1 or 2 days for everything to trickle through though, so be patient.
I turned on "Encrypt all data" when using Chrome Sync, and since then my Galaxy Tab browser has failed to sync bookmarks.
I don't know if this is the issue, but it would make sense. Can you check your sync settings in Chrome?

Try to encrypt the password only, not all data.

Originally it was just passwords but I wanted everything encrypted. I was offering a suggestion of what might be causing the Tab to fail when syncing bookmarks, since it started failing for me after encrypting everything.
I think the only way to go back to encrypting only the passwords is to stop Chrome syncing, delete all synced data from the dashboard, and turn syncing back on. I could be wrong!
Okay, so this is what I did to get my Bookmarks working:
Go to Settings in your Chrome Browser.
Personal Stuff>Advanced
Uncheck Bookmarks
Change to "Encrypt passwords"
Click OK.
In the Personal Stuff Window, click Google Dashboard and login
Scroll down to Chrome Sync and click "Stop sync and delete data from Google"
Depending on how much you've got, it can take a while. Mine took about 7-10 minutes. Have a smoke or something.
When it's finished, go back to Chrome Settings>Personal Stuff>Advanced
Recheck Bookmarks, and double-check Encrypt Passwords is selected.
Done.
I did this the other day and I didn't lose any data. See below:
"Last sync: Apr 18, 2012 9:45 PM
Bookmarks: 204
Preferences: 22
Themes: 1
Autofill data: 3168
Autofill profiles: 5
Extensions: 9
Applications: 9
Omnibox data: 198
Open Tabs: 5
Search engines: 86
Passwords: 5
Note: Encrypted with password."
If your using the Android browser and it's still not working, look into "Chrome Marks". It's free and will one-way sync your bookmarks to your device. If you pay for it, it goes 2-way.
Can also try the Chrome Beta app. I've mess with it for a while, but they still have a lot to do just for stability...and it's been taking time away from checking out ICS.
Hope any or all of this helps out.
Edit: Forgot to mention you'll need to setup a new application-specific password to get Chrome Sync going again. I don't remember where though. gl
Dear SBGS FTW, thank you and your method worked my links are syncing again
Oh god this is annoying, my tab is almost perfect but those fukin bookmarks...
Can't get them to work no matter what, how come they have made it so difficult...
Plus, if I could just export from Chrome and then import to my tab, that would be enough.. but noooo.........

Yea, i'm thinking thats what i'll have to do. I hate the idea of having to redo everything, oh well. Better now than never, I'll report back.
No luck. I'm thinking the problem is on googles server side. Very very very annoying.
I'm having problems with syncing my bookmarks to my Xoom as well. I set up my bookmarks on Chrome desktop and I checked Google Dashboard to see that the number of bookmarks were synced. When I went to the Xoom browser and added my Google account to sync, it only shows up with a folder called "other bookmarks." My bookmarks are stored in separate file folders inside the "other bookmarks" folder on Chrome desktop. Does the Xoom browser have a hard time reading folder structures and therefore doesn't pull in my bookmarks?
Not sure whats going on but it will not see any songs that I uploaded from my PC (2000 songs). There is no button to "sync" the device in either the Music app or in settings/account/gmail. I've installed the app 3 times with the same results. Is there a trick or something? Running GB 2.3.3
Silly question, but did you try a reboot? I have heard that has helped some.

I noticed I have to give it some time to sync after I install it. Also there IS a check box in android accounts settings to enable syncing.
Yup. Enable syncing. I use the power control widget so I only sync when I'm listening to my music.

I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app. To do so: Go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Google music, then select clear data. Once that is finished go back into Google music and you should be able to pull up the menu and select settings. Then just select your gmail account again and it should start syncing almost immediately.

thats exactly what i have to do too. have to do it just about every time i install music beta.
Yea, I'm having issues too. Shouldn't Music come up in Account & Sync in settings? I don't seem to have it listed anymore.
Thanks. Clearing data fixed the problem.
Just for anyone else having a problem, an issue I ran into was everytime I flashed a new nightly for CM7, it counted as a new device being added to my account. Eventually I was maxed out on allowed devices (think it might be 8 but don't remember) and it wouldn't sync new songs for me anymore. I had to clear the devices from the music beta page itself to fix the problem.

That worked for me. I can sync again. Thank you!
I think the Google music app sucks. Thats right, it sucks.
I have tried deleting the app from my phone and my pc, then reloading.
What happens to me is when I reload everything, it syncs the same old songs. I have deleted them from everywhere, changed the folder, deleted the folder and created a new one.....same music.....that doesnt exist any more. When I select the folder to sync, it shows the correct number of songs for the new folder but then syncs a different number.....and music that doesnt even exist on my CPU anymore.
Makes no sense to me.
Also, theres no way to delete or hide a song on my device. I know theres a menu choice to hide unavailable but that doesnt work either.
Severe FAIL on Google. BOOOOOOOOOOOO
I had this problem a lot. After installing Music from the Market place, go into App Management and "Clear Data". When you load Music again, it will have a settings menu now to select your account. Although, I think this issue was fixed on newer GB versions because I didn't have to do it when I fresh installed on .605.
Just another Android glitch
"I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app."
I just crossed over to Android and got the GS2. Figured I'd get one of the flagship devices. I figured Android must be good; it's so popular.
I've never used a phone with so many work-arounds, glitches... needed to download so many programs just for a loud & repeating calendar alarm... stores photos to 10 different folders.
Now I have to clear data for every sync I want to do w/ my clouded music? Why didn't I just get an iPhone? The bigger question is, how is it that Android has repeat customers? Maybe Android buyers are all first-time smartphone users and don't know any better. These types of bugs and glitches common to Android are not standard far on iPhone or even my older Nokia N-Series and BlackBerrys.

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

Not sure if this is exactly the same but on my homescreen I had the bookmarks widget whose outline was visible but the bookmarks themselves were invisible. I had to go into my browser "Settings">"General">"Sync" and apply sync with google chrome account for my bookmarks to reappear.

Yes, I have the same issue. Creating a new bookmark in a folder (bookmarks/test) works, but creating bookmarks in the root (bookmarks/) directory does not work. But if I try to recreate the bookmark, it says it's already there! I also see (doubled) bookmarks on my Chrome on the PC, so sync works...help appreciated!
TW is a bit strange, if you restore or sync bookmarks they end up in "history"
So to restore bookmarks;
Restore
Go to bookmarks/history.
Press the "stars" 2 times and the bookmarks shows up.
Wipe the history to get rid of the double bookmarks.
I had the same issue with bookmarks before this rom for GT10.1"
Here is how I solved it.
1) made a TB of your bookmarks before you flash the new rom...(hope it's not too late for some of you)
2) ensure the bookmarks widget is not on some screen (check to make sure its not hidden somewhere - strangely, I have found this phenomena with widgets on GT10.1" - dunno why)
3) flash your rom, after rebooting, ensure the bookmarks widget is not running/loaded/hidden somewhere.
4) restore your TB bookmarks - it will replace what is there/missing/ 'appear to be there'
Hope this helps. Works for me everytime(but sometimes between android release changes, it can be tricky. Then I combine my restore effort with 'my backup pro' and running the two apps restores in different sequenses, get the trick done.

I tried it, but it didn't work. But now, after cleaning the history I'm able to manually create bookmarks in the bookmarks/ root directory (which I wasn't before). But now they don't sync to my PC / Chrome anymore. However, I get very frequent FC on com.google.process.gapps. According to the stacktrace in the failure report this has something to do with the chrome bookmarks sync. So no surprise the sync doesn't work anymore. Anyone else having sync and/or bookmarks trouble?
Edit: I cleared the browsers chace, history and cookies and reset it to default (settings - advanced - reset defaults). After this, creating bookmarks works fine (with touching the star) as it should, but I still get the FC on Google Chrome sync...working on it..
Go to app management and clear the browser's cache, force stop it, clear all defaults...pretty much wipe the app clean. Then start the browser and go into settings and make it sync bookmarks with chrome. They eventually show up...whenever it decides to sync.

I have lots of bookmarks in Chrome and have been trying for 2 days to get them to sync. I just picked up my tablet and they all there now with all the different folders. I haven't done anything in the last 7 hours so I guess Google fixed something or it just takes forever.
Anyone else besides me getting this? I had no idea what was causing it at first, but it seems that within 5-10 minutes of using the Tab regularly, the force close prompt would come up. I'd hit close, however, none of the apps I was currently in at the time would close. Every 2-3 minutes, like clockwork, the prompt would show up again. Got very annoying.
From the suggestion of another member, I took down my G-Mail widget and rebooted. Used the Tab like normal, still force closing. I then realized it COULD be the stock browser. I downloaded Dolphin for Tab Beta and used that...no force closes (yet). I have a suspicion that it could be the browser.
Is this happening with anyone else? I'm on stock KMM with the KMN CSC, odexed, with root and CWM. No other OS changes/alterations have been made. I even wiped the device completely, including my storage partition, re-downloaded and re-flashed, and it was still occurring with stock browser use.
Uncheck sync bookmarks with Chrome. Used to have the same issue and it drove me nuts.
I had this issue with syncing bookmarks. Fixed it by going to the Google Dashboard (sorry don't have the URL) and clearing the data section under Chrome. No issues since then.

Well this is getting out of hand for me. I started noticing this after the 3.2 update, but now it's getting crazy. I wasn't able to uncheck the sync in the Android browser options, I had to clear the data and then simply not sync it, but I think its still trying to sync. I did go to the dashboard and clear the data there as well per the suggestion in this thread. I am un-rooted running stock 3.2 update. I can see in the error report that it crashing on trying to sync bookmarks. What a pain!

Try creating a new gmail account (you don't actually have to use it for anything) and sync the bookmarks to that instead.
Sounds like a good idea to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks!

You have to go to accounts and sync, your Google account, and uncheck bookmarks from there. That's what stops the bookmark sync. You can't uncheck in browser and clearing data from the browser is unrelated.
