Hey all,
On my S3, if I used the stock internet app, it synced all my bookmarks from my Google Chrome.
But on the S4 it doesn't do this...
Anyone know how to make it work?
I was just making a thread about this subject. I have created some bookmarks manually now but I too want to sync the stock browser with Google and not a Samsung Account.
Seems they left more stuff out because labs is gone and zoom to fit too.
I think you have to use google Chrome for that.

Just picked up the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G LTE today and was annoyed to see that Verizon had included some bookmarks that couldn't be deleted via the bookmark manager nor the history screen (deselecting the star). My workaround was to setup Chrome Bookmark Sync, choose to delete existing bookmarks as part of the wizard and then reset the browser to default once it completed.
Voila! No bookmarks and no sync. Just thought I would share in case anyone else was frustrated by this.
Is the chrome bookmark sync a application part of chrome?

Yes, it is part of both the browser on PC / Linux / Mac and the Android browser. You'll find the options if you dig around in the settings.
Thanks for that fix. It was driving me nuts seeing it in the widget
Hi all,
I have a strange problem concerning the syncing of my bookmarks in the stock browser. For a while I have been syncing my bookmarks with my google account and I have restored them a couple of times. I even restored them yesterday when I changed from TF101 to Padfone... The bookmarks worked today. But this afternoon I did a hard reset and logged in on my Google account. But now I don't have an option to save my bookmarks under my Google account (so I couldn't restore them either). I only see my local bookmarks. I tried logging in into the Google Dashboard and deleting all Chrome bookmarks, but that didn't bring back the option to save my new bookmarks under my Google acount in the stock browser. Can anyone help me?

I have the same issue; my windows chrome bookmarks no longer appear on my ICS TF101 chrome. No fix that I know of, yet. If I find one, I'll post.
Mine works just fine. But maybe you could try reinstall the gapps package. And make sure to check the bookmark syc.
Just a thought.

I am using chrome, and I forgot to enable synch'ing in chrome. The tablet was set up, through settings, to synch email, and I thought that was all I needed to do. Maybe the stock browser has a similar setting that you can toggle.

I found the reason. Asus decided to remove the option from the newest firmware (it's for my PadFone, so that's why TF101 has no problems with syncing).
Thanks for the ideas and help guys!

I used BookmarkSB to sync mine, first with Chrome and then with the stock browser. :
That's weird that this phone doesnt sync with google bookmarks, but Note2 syncs.. It's also REALLY ANNOYING!...

Hi,
How do u sync with bookmarksb, i don't see any option to restore bookmarks
thanks in advance
This is crazy you buy a phone from almost €700 and you can not synchronized your internet bookmarks.
I try again with my note2 and no problem. So it must be something with the phone i think.
I think it's only work with the chrome browser. But i dont want to used the chrome browser.

Agreed..I tried bookmarks sb although it said restored it hasn't. I guess the location of bookmarks has confused it.

It's sad. The S4 i9500 came with the standard browser and Google Chrome. Chrome syncs bookmarks fine, but no options to sync with standard browser.. And it's a shame because Samsung air gestures only work on the standard browser (and the scrolling surprisingly is pretty useful)
Can anyone help with this? Sync Google bookmarks, or will chrome be updated for gestures?
Cheers
Also looking for a solution to this :|

+1 this is driving me mad!
I swear I found an option to sync bookmarks (somewhere in menu) with google account when I bought the phone 4 weeks ago, though unsuccessful, but probably after an OTA update i couldn't find that option anymore! Maybe google did it in purpose to prevent further syncing with the stock browser, all in order to use chrome browser only. What you think about it? I had S2 before the S4 and there was no problem syncing at all.
S4 stock browser does not sign in and syncronise bookmark
I have both the s2 and the s4.
with the s2 I get all the bookmarks in the stock browser.
I have more gmail accounts and I get all the different accounts.
With s4 nothing. ...
Shouldn't they improve with new versions of the phones?!!!!
Same to me on my s2 i was able to restore them on my browser now not anymore
any resolution on this yet?
Anyone found a solution?

The one that is working for me.
Hi, I have a problem with the stock browser, it does not sync with the chrome desktop bookmarks. Galaxy S3 can do the job as long as you have the gmail account. Any one have the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?
Same problem. The stock browser can create bookmark folders and has by default a Samsung's bookmarks, but I cannot have my google account bookmarks like I did on my Nexus S. What am I doing wrong?
Dear both,
Unfortunately you are not doing anything wrong and this is a general "problem" (rather limitation by design) which can only be solved by Samsung. I believe you will get bookmark sync if you create a Samsung account but can't confirm for sure (and it won't be with your google account).
I too am very disappointed at this, as the stock browser in the S3 was simply outstanding so I always used that instead of Chrome or Opera...
Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. What a shame. I am not interested in having a Samsung account in parallel to my Google one, and would like to have everything centralised. Alternatively, a way is to use Chrome, but then Air/Smart scroll do not work!
thank you. i thought samsung is making things better and more integrated, looks like this is a big disappointment.

+1 very dissapointed!
I have been trying to get my browser to sync up. So it loads my bookmarks but under Google there is not a browser sync function. How do you get it to sync up and load them? Also how do you remove the bookmarks preinstalled?
I'd like to know this also. There's no Google internet sync option that I can find. Can't even add Google as an account in the browser
