I am having problems saving my bookmarks with Chrome on my Nexus 7.
I am doing the following:
Clicking the star on the website I want to bookmark
Add bookmark will appear
It will say its saving to Mobile Bookmarks
I click save.
Then when I try to view my bookmarks, no links will appear. What could be the reason why these aren't appearing?
Just making sure, you are looking under the mobile bookmarks folder?

I dont know!
When I click on the 3 dots next to the address bar, I click Bookmarks and it shows three tabs, Most Visited, Bookmarks & Other Devices... None say Mobile Bookmarks..... What to do?
All 3 tabs, Most Visited, Bookmarks & Other Devices are empty
Did you sync it with your google account?
I would assume it would save anyways but I have it sync'd to my google account all the time.
Are you rooted? Did you do anything else with your N7? Was it like this out of the box?

yes its synced. not rooted. havent done anything to it.
Two things you can try:
1. Straight up just reboot
2. Go to settings > apps > chrome > clear data and cache; reboot; open chrome and it will probably ask you to sync again, then try

Hey all I'm new here...
Just wanted to point out some woes with the new OTA 2.3.4 update with the contacts. Although it seems the views have a few more options the bad part is they took away the option to flip the screen left or right to see social or history... that sucks but the worst part is... it seems that you can't link with social accounts anymore either!!!
Any insight on this... am I doing something wrong?
Use GO Contacts, it's just plain better.
your probably right... though 2.2.2 was fairly decent.
Just wanted to add... as I'm going through account and contact stuff, the ability to sync facebook or twitter pics with contacts is gone as well I know there are other ways (manually) but this was a nice feature... why would the take it out? What reason do we have now to add any of the social/pic stuff with motoblur? Again, Myspace, facebook, LastFm, twitter, Picasa, Photobucket, flicker, Linkedin... its all broken now, none of them sync with contacts now. (or is it fixed... was there issues with this before, did folks not like it?)
Note: If you long press any of these accounts in settings it states.... "To Fully integrate "account" into your mobile experience, click Add Account." What experience are they refering to? All I can see is that your widgets (which suck) will populate their feeds....
Update... I did find some settings for anyone looking.... if you edit a contact and press menu the option to join pops up.... so maybe its not a total loss also not as I used an app to sync FB pics to existing contacts (synced to google) not sure if you "join" if the pic syncs as well....
If they took out linking contacts period, IMO that would be a HUGE step forward.
My contacts got severely f*cked up because of that, and I'm still trying to fix that mess.
If I hadn't bought so many Apps under my current account, I just would have just created a new Google account already...

If you unlink your accounts, the contacts should go back to the way they were. Linking doesn't actually modify any account info.
i can't seem to find where to set custom ringtones for contacts now
used to be on the edit screen but not now

Go into your contact, then menu->Options
Altough it is still possible to link the contacts, I prefer the older Contacts.
It was easy to see where did each info came from (small "f" or "t" logo near the contact data).
Will try to get used to the new interface.
Anthony, I agree with you. The option to flip right and left was very useful and I used it all the time to keep track of my communication with a contact. I was hugely disappointed to see that missing. I do not understand why they would remove that. I also liked the contact photo syncing. It was nice that most of my contacts had photos added automatically.
Has anyone else had issues with webtop working after the update? Via HDMI or any of the docks...

nothin there any more
installed go contacts and it had it though so it's a non issue
I like new Contact App.
Just a small bug: birthday date is showed as an INTEGER (many times negative) and not more as a Date.
Example: "Birthday: -609994887"
I'm not sure if the wrong "import" of newer Contact App is about Facebook's birthday date or Google's Account, however something is wrong...
What the... they just took out the most usedlful feature in blur, contact history. Man thats so bad...

Select the one under motoblur accounts not the one under other accounts (which makes me question the wisdom of Moto for having it listed twice on the same page).

I tried that too but I had the same problem as before, no contacts showing up. Why must motorola make things so difficult?
Edit: Read on droid x forums that it can take a couple hours for them to show up, so I'll wait and see.

Be sure to be on a wifi network and ensure you can sync social apps. I would reboot the phone once all of that is checked and then see if it all comes down or not.
So when i use new stock browser with navigation controls and go to bookmarks, everything is empty. But when i try to rebuild bookmarks I get a message that says bookmark already in use.
Anyone else getting this?

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.
Hey all,
Am i doing something wrong? I want to be able to see my desktop chrome bookmarks on my nexus 7.
I have all my bookmarks good to go on Chrome on my desktop. I've enabled sync. Then I enable sync on my nexus 7, and I still can't see my bookmarks in chrome. However, I can see that the devices are linked. Anyone have some advice here? Thanks!

Open the Bookmarks and where it says "Bookmarks > Mobile Bookmarks" poke the Bookmarks at the far left. Then poke Desktop Bookmarks or Other Bookmarks. Desktop Bookmarks are whatever is on your bar, Other Bookmarks are all the rest.
Are you sure you are signed into Chrome on your desktop?
Alright it's working. I basically had to remove my google accounts from both chrome on my desktop and on android... then i re-did the process, and it worked this time. Hopefully it works seamlessly now - thanks!

hi guys this if my first Samsung phone(i had other android phones), how do i enable auto sync on this phone? it is disabled for facebook and gmail. the menu button doesn't seem to do anything.
and isn't the browser supposed to flash player on the GS4? my phone says that it does not have flash player in the browser.
Go into "Settings" and then "Accounts." Within accounts, you can select the individual account that you are trying to auto sync. Make sure they are checked.
go to the flash player web page and download the apk
or use google chrome
to sync go to account and check the option of what you want to sync

When I press "local" I get nothing but local!
I even cleared cache and data and re-did the same steps but to no avail!
Any help?
