There is a function in the built in browser that says sync with google chrome. I have tried to logon to my google account there, but nothing happens. If I could sync my bookmarks with google I would never use any other browser.
Anybody got it to work and want to share the secret?
One more question is about flash. I have got it working in the built in browser, but not in Opera mini, my son also have a 10.1 and he can use flash in Opera.. He says he has not done everything special. Why doesn't it work for me?

Hmmm.... this isn't the 10.1" section, but nevertheless :
1; Install the Chrome-browser from the market, sync with your PC, then use the buit in browser to sync with the installed Chrome...
2. Some browsers support flash , some not without installing it. I use Dolphin HD...

Sorry for misnavigation.. If any mod see this, plz move to the right section.
1. Is there really a chrome-browser for android? I cant find it in the market. I can find some sync tool called chromemarks, is it that one you mean?
2. I know some browsers dont support flash, but my son and both tried Opera mini, and it works in his tab but not in mine.

I suppose you both have the same FW installed, or does your Tab have different ROM in it ? Maybe you should look for a working install for Flash then and try if it improves anything...
Here's the solution that will fix your problem.
Follow the instructions below, do not skip any steps.
Desktop Chrome Settings
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Advanced Sync Settings
3. Choose either Sync Everything or ensure Open Tabs is ticked
Android Settings
1. Go to your System Settings
2. Under Accounts, go to Google
3. Select your Google Account email address
4. Ensure Chrome is ticked
Android Chrome Settings
1. Go to Settings
2. Under Basics, click on your Google Account email address
3. Tick Chrome to Mobile
4. Click on Sync
5. Choose either Sync Everything or ensure Open Tabs is ticked
Now, the tabs you open in your desktop will be available on your Android, under the Synced Tab (at the bottom, next to the Favourites (star) tab).
The tabs you open in your Android will also be available on your desktop, under Menu -> Recent Tabs.

good for you! but it's apparently not ready for everyone yet, with multiple application interworking problems ID'd and listed so far ... but whatever the problem is for my setup and set of apps, it has not been ID'd yet ...
Okay, so here are a few questions I have regarding my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1:
1. I've noticed there is no file explorer. I tried DLing an apk, but I can't see it without the file explorer. What can I do? - Irrelevant. I downloaded a file explorer app which works great.
2. I've noticed that the default music app is the Music beta google app (that i've got on my SGS2). But for some reason it won't sync with my Google Music account. It doesn't even show up in the settings. What can I do?
3. Is there a fast way to sync all the android apps that I've got on my phone to the galaxy tab 10.1?
4. Is there no Honeycomb facebook app?
5. How can I delete / remove unused home screens? I have a few empty ones and I couldn't figure out how to remove them.
6. I can't seem to find a Hebrew keyboard that came with the device even though the device itself supports Hebrew (I can make Hebrew the OS default language)
7. Is there a way to close multitasking apps? In other words, can I close open apps that I see in the multitasking drawer?
8. I've uploaded onto the device a few videos, but the resolution is low and so I see it only in a little box in the middle of the screen. How can I fix that? I want to be able to see it full screen.
9. Can I make folders and put a few apps in them?
10. Is the Galaxy Tab 10.1's USB cable the same type as that of the iPad and the iPhone? If so, does that mean that I can use my iPhone's cable to charge it?
11. Should I download anything else that's worth having on a Honeycomb Tablet? Feel free to recommend apps
might have a few more as I keep playing with the device.
Thanks in advance for your help
1. Yup honeycomb did not ship with any file explorer. Use File Manager HD
5. You cant remove unused screens. Also you cant add additional
7. That is not a multitasking drawer. Think of it more of a recently used program list. An app can still show up in this drawer that is not running. You can't clear this list - however a reboot looks to do it.
1. I like ES File Explorer.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
2. Search Google Music in the market, then click Update (kinda goofy you have to do it that way).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music
3. MyBackup will sorta. Doesn't backup settings for most apps though, so I find it kinda pointless, unless the phone and tablet are rooted, then Titantium Backup Pro would be better.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
4. No, browser is probably better than the Facebook for Android app.
5. No.
6. Don't know.
7. Advanced Task Killer.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller
8. Moboplayer might work better.

First of all, thanks for the help
I've tried doing that, and noticed the following:
I can't find the "Music by Google Beta" app on the app store on the tablet.
If I try to DL it from the market.android.com on my desktop etc, it won't let me because it says I'm not in the US.
The main problem is that it doesn't even recognize it in the Application and Sync area like it does on my Galaxy S 2.
I want to be able to stream music.
This seems as good of a place as any for the dumb android newbie questions... I keep all of my bookmarks in my google account via the google toolbar for IE. Is there no way to use them on the tablet? I see the option to sync chrome bookmarks,but from what i understand they are different than google toolbar bookmarks.

Google Music Beta only available in the US at this time.
Looks like Amazon Cloud Drive might be restricted to the US only too.
AudioGalaxy is kinda cool, it streams music from a computer to your tablet, might be worth a look.
9. No folders on Android, no need for them. All your apps are kept in an app drawer in easy to find alphabetical order. And you drop icons to your home screen that you want.
10. No, the cable is not compatible with Apple's cable.

I don't know how the Google toolbar for IE works. But the tablet will sync bookmarks from the desktop Chrome browser (if you enable sync on the browser).
Here's my noob question: what the heck is up with the volume buttons. It seems three times out of four they seem to be going the wrong way. I haven't seen any comments yet on it, have been starting to wonder if it's just me

Well the button does feel like it's mounted upside down if you hold it in portrait mode with the power/volume buttons in the upper right side.
However I've never see a situation where 1 out of 4 times the buttons change. Sounds like it might just be how you are holding the tablet and accidentally pushing the wrong button? Which I think it easy because it does feel like the buttons should be opposite of how they really are. Especially if you've had an iPad, which is in the same spot, but flipped around.

Yeah, Chrome bookmarks are stored differently from Google toolbar bookmarks. I've read that one uses Google Docs, while the other uses something else. Google toolbar settings are tied to your Google account, and it's available for various platforms (but apparently not Chrome). I'm dumbfounded that I can't access them on a Google device.
I don't know how well or if it works on Honeycomb, but AnySoftKeyboard has a Hebrew option I believe. (as well as many other languages, even Esperanto )
I have another one... how do you turn down the ticks and beeps for keyboard and button feedback? I found 3 volume sliders, but none of those affect them.

Try Settings -> Language and Input ->
There is a section for each keyboard with options for sound and vibration.

Not if you rotate counter clockwise.
I just installed for fun the Facebook app, on my vanilla 3.1 tablet. I snatch it from my Galaxy S2. I like how the videos open directly into Gallery... best is to use the tablet in portrait mode.
com.facebook.katana-4606-1.6.4.apk
Edit: actually only the real Facebook videos open in Gallery, YouTube will take you directly to the site.
I used Files from Market to install the app, the best manager for a tablet IMO.
Simply extract the app and drop it into sdcard, then open it with Files.
Facebook is best in browser. No App needed.
So is on the phone, yet you use the app... let me guess, you don't.

Have you been able to get the facebook chat to work in --any-- browser? I have tried stock browser, dolphin HD, Opera, and nothing lets me use the facebook chat, (you know the little popup window on the bottom of the browser screen)
This using the user agent set to desktop.
Everytime I manage to get focus into the chat window, pressing enter doesn't send the message.. nothing works.

Screenshots of Chrome 18.0.1025308 Android app
my kindle fire hd is not rooted.
i installed chrome on kindle fire hd and having this issue when trying to sign in.. i get "Sync: Android system sync disabled. Please re-enable and try again." message.
google apps such as google talk and youtube are working fine on my kindle fire hd.. which would mean that the sign-in is working for those apps.. chrome is having a problem. does the kindle fire hd have to be rooted for chrome to work? i tried this with chrome version 18. i also tried with chrome version 25 but sites like yahoo.com were not rendering on that version.. also syncing wasn't working (same error message).
appreciate your feedback. thanks.

It's my understanding, based on a review at CNet, that this version requires ICS. Since I have been unable to root my Kindle, I need the earlier version. I had it before I reset to factory but the dropbox link at the top of this thread is no longer valid. Could you re-post it please?
This latest version seems to work for me except I can't get to a login screen and synchronicity is one of the main reasons I love Chrome.
On my Nexus 7, Dolphin is my default browser. However, when using the Google search widget, results are displayed in Chrome, and not Dolphin. After the list of results is displayed, then the link opens properly in Dolphin.
This issue would not be so irritating if I could long-press on links in the initial page of results and choose to open the link in a new tab. However, that option is not available, for some reason, so if I want to view several links, I have to keep going back and forth from the initial results page. This is very irritating.
So, simple question: how can I get the Google search widget to open the initial results page in my default Dolphin browser? If this is not possible, then how can I get the links in the search results to open in a new tab?
Thanks for your help.
Still hoping to make this work
I'm still hoping someone can help me figure out how to ensure that search results using the handy Google search widget open in Dolphin browser, which I find to be far better than the stock browser. As I mentioned earlier, once I choose a link, that link opens in Dolphin. However, the search results page does NOT open in Dolphin, and I am unable open a search result in a new tab from the stock browser, which is irritating.
Any ideas?
Can you clear the defaults on either the search widget or the browser and reset them? Maybe that will get them to switch.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I did clear the defaults, which I believe is why the search links open in Dolphin. However, the original search page stubbornly sticks with the inferior stock browser.
This is not a problem with the phone running ICS...just my Nexus 7.
Stock rom, rooted, 4.2.1. If you are rooted there is a way to remove Chrome as the default browser and place the default nexus browser (not chrome) from the nexus phone rom as default. I did this and Voice Search & Google Now open web searches in it. I side-loaded Flash and it works great with that browser. If you want to make Dolphin the default, I don't know about that.
If OP has rooted, stock Rom or otherwise and still has Chrome Browser - go to Store/Play to download free app called "AntTeh App Manager" and use it to freeze Chrome (thus, disabled it) That should allow Dolphin Browser to be the only one - boot into Custom Recovery & wipe dalvik cache to be sure, restart - and all searches should be going to the Dolphin.
I am using Boat Browser & Google Search and/or Voice Search, etc. will launch & show results in it. (rooted Stock 4.1.2 - franco kernel)
You can unfreeze Chrome & go back to it anytime as you wish as it's not deleted, just hidden & will no longer shown on the Apps list, unless re-enabled.
