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?

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 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

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

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
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.
