[Q] Problem synching Chrome bookmarks - Acer Iconia A500

Does anyone have problems synching Chrome bookmarks? I Got this problem after updating to 3.1, and hoped to be fixed on 3.2, but it appears it doesn't. After some research (Google search of course ), it appears that the problems originated after Google made changes to the chromesync service.... And Asus launched a patch to fix this. Is any word from Acer
Thanks!

Problem Fix
It appears that the big guys at Google have already fixed the Sync problem, today all my bookmarks have been synched in my Iconia.

it s a known problem, see

Do not think they will border to fix it since chrome for android is around the corner.

I don't know if it's been fixed per se. It used to crash my google services and now does not, so I could consider it fixed in that regard - but it doesn't sync mine. If I look in my browser sync under accounts and sync and my google account the sync icon is there and no matter how many times it spins and stops, the sync date isn't updated.
It's possible my Google is just too heavy with extra stuff. Not sure though and I'm not willing to uncheck any of my stuff because I want it all synced.
Update: Yes, I'm still seeing an issue. My browser sync now comes up with Sync Error after a few seconds and the last full sync date was 9/5/2011

Endless calendar syncing

Frequently my calendar will sync for hours on end and eat through the battery life,forcing me to turn it off altogether so I don't run out altogether. The data does actually sync fine,ie both calendars are up to date all the time, so far as I can tell. Any ideas? I have searched this forum and google to no avail. I happen to use Cyanogen's rather brilliant (experimental series) ROM, but don't feel this is related as no other Cyanogen users have reported similar issues. Can't remember if I had these problems on stock ROM. Help?
Cheers
Are we talking about the google calendar?
If it is google calendar check on your PC that you don't have background image or attach google docs enabled in your calendar. These features may not be compatible.
Cheers for the reply, interesting idea. It seems to have gone away (for now) after I exported everything to ical files, deleted everything and re-imported (via a PC). Fingers crossed..

Unable to sync browser

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.

calendar wont sync

Hi, I tried searching for something like this on xda and I couldn't find anything. On my galaxy s2 the calendar app just doesn't sync with my Google mail account. I go into calendar it asks me to go to he Google account sync setting to sync calendar, even though the tick box for sync calender is checked, I click sync now anyway. After it has finished I go back to the calendar app, and it asks me to do the the same thing again. My contacts and even wallpaper form my old phone were synced propyl from my Google account but not my calendar. I just can't seem to find any reason why it isn't working. I've never had any problems like this before on my old rooted htc desire, where was flashing new roms weekly, so why on my galaxy s2. Would someone be able to help me please?
Just wanted to say I have the same problem, hopefully someone can help us.
I think it might be the Samsung social hub, together with the inability if kies to sync with google, and an assumption that you might want to use kies (or a lack of testing with the google calendar)
Try removing your social hub facebook account, and maybe deleting all the calendar data on the phone (under settings/applications/calander) so long as you are confident you have nothing stored locally without a backup.
I find the social hub facebook integration useless at the moment, since it doesn't hide declined invitations for me, so I'm going back to trying the google integration (which means i get birthdays spamming my calendar instead)

I have never used the Social Hub or Kies or even set any calender events on the phone itself but just clearing the calender data did fix the problem, and my Google calender events started syncing.
Thanks

Hi, i had the same issue and i am using a uk generic rom unrooted. problem seems to have corrected itself now. Wat seemed to cure it for me was to sync over my mobile network instead of wifi.

can't sync twitter account contacts

the feature was working just fine before I decided to do a fresh installation of nexusbeam 4.2.3 rom, now I can't sync my twitter account contacts.
I tried to rollback to nexusbeam 4.0.3 to sync twitter contacts but with no luck
I would post this in the NexusBeam thread but I still don't have sufficient post to access the reply feature

actually i had the same problem with a couple of ics roms so went back to cm7.1 and had the problem. In my case it did still sync the contacts just gave the error had to check and uncheck it a couple of times though, so it may be something with twitter.
rolling back to CM7 didn't fix it either, I suspect a leftover preference file from another ROM or something like that is causing the problem.
i will try to do another fresh of stock ROM and report back if it worked.
This seems to be a server-side problem, I can't sync contacts on my Nexus S with stock ICS (4.0.3), even though I didn't change any settings.
This problem started on Friday.
Same here (on cm7)
Previously (on stock rom) whenever I clicked on the twitter link of any contact in my list I would get an error about twitter not being available.
So contact sync never worked correctly for me
my xperia play sync the contacts without any problem, I think the problem might be related to Google devices only. hope they will fix this soon

Same here. It started Friday. Must be a Twitter problem. I can't sync my contacts on my Nexus S or my Xoom since Friday.
Got the same problems.
I re-installed the stock ICS package (no custom roms, no mods, only the same kernel - Matr1x - I had before wiping) and once I tried to sync my Twitter account it said "Unable to sync etc etc"...
Tried again after a few hours and today again but it keeps saying "unable to sync, connect, rofltrolol and so on..."
Nice to see that I'm not the only one having this problem.
PS: before I re-installed ICS, I did a proper wipe (system, data, boot and so on) so I don't think there is any trace of the previous ROM (however, the previous installation was the same IML74K I set up yesterday, so dunno...)
I thought I was the only one with this problem lol. I was messing around with the sync settings and thought I broke it by accident.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon. It was working a few days ago (or at least since my last full wipe)
Had the same problem did nothing now it is working :s

at least for you... I have again that problem...
anyone got this syncing issue solved ?
still not working here...
I don't think it's something we can solve. I think it's something Twitter has to solve.

Ditto. I have an HTC Vivid, stock and unrooted, and this problem started happening on my phone last Friday, 1/20.
Contacts still won't sync. Having read the other posts here, I tried creating a new twitter account in order to determine if it was related to settings associated with my account. I had the same issue with the brand new account.
To be clear-- Messages (tweets) sync just fine, and my account is accessible through the Twitter app, but the contacts added previously to my list by Twitter do not sync.

The issue is with the app-- Not your phone.
Just out of curiosity, I checked the comments on the app, itself, in the android market.
Anyone who is unsure if the contacts sync issue is with the app or some fouled up setting on your phone should check out those comments. You can see them for yourself here.
Multiple complaints that the latest update to the app prevents contacts from being sync'd.
The bad news is you won't get twitter updates on your contact list ("people" app on many android phones) and unless you uncheck the option in accounts, there will be a consistent "fail" warning.
The good news is, the app works fine outside of that one feature and the error is related to the app and not your phone or settings.
I'm sure there will be an update soon enough. In the meantime, just uncheck the sync option or ignore the error warning.

Calendar App

Hi, probably too soon, but has someone already managed to solve the one calendar problem on Calendar App? Like, i use google calendar with multiple calendars in it (basically, for different colors display on phone), an would be nice to have this feature here... I know, probably wont be fixed till final release, but just wanted to know if someone had an Idead =)
BTW, loved this consumer preview! Really, just put google account somewhere, and everything else started sharing and syncing!!
Havn't had time to install the Consumer Preview yet (and I don't really use Google Calender), but there is a similar problem with WP7.
Now I don't know if the Calender app support multiple calenders correctly (might be an issue on Windows 8's side), but if it does (like WP7), you need to select which calenders to use in Google.
Again, I am not too familiar with this, but this might the same problem so this page might help you:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2450384
If it doesn't work after that try manually syncing Google or re-adding your Google account.
hm, good shot, but two problems...
first, I used to have this problem on iphone, and solved like the way you showed. On android, don't have this issue, can't even access this webpage cause it has other ways to solve. So, i used my sister's iphone, and went to m.google.com/sync, and there the only thing that showed was Windows Mail, no calendar options =/
Tryed to resync, no luck, since different from mail app, it can't be done. You cand Add accounts, but not delete...
But, anyway, its a beta, probably things are gonna change in the near future
BTW, when windows phone 8.0 show up, my galaxy sII will have a mini heart attack, haha
thanks anyway

Hi,
Currently per Google's request for bandwith, Calendar App only Sync root calendar.
Developers on both sides are working on this issue to improve accessibility on this.
Thank you for using Windows 8 and your feedback.

i got my google calendar to work in sync with the calendar app for windows 8 if that is what you are asking i could explain? google calendar colors is another story though, can't replicate the color scheme on w8
he meant multiple calendars using the same account, currently the calendar will only show the primary calendar, it has no options to see the other calendars created under the same account, reason is in that quote of mine above
