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

I use to be able to sync my contacts and a folder from the desktop, but since i have updated to ICS the tab for Iconia Tab under "Accounts & Sync" is grayed out, and if you go to "add account" the Tab is no longer listed as a option, is there fix for this ?
Bump
What were you using to sync a folder on your desktop? You are supposed to be able to sync with ICS. Are you running stock ICS?

I was stock before the ICS update, and the sync option was not grayed out, then ICS came out i did the upgrade OTA and now the sync option is grayed out.... i have read on other forums of the same issue.
Just out of curiosity check yours and let me know if it is gray'd out as well..
BTW the email sync options still work... but "no can do" via USB
bump
i think you can go to google.com > login > then go to google contacts> download in some sort of file, i did this recently. hope it helps

Could you clarify please? It seems to me that you may be using Acer Sync to sync contacts and that folder but you haven't mentioned it.
If you are using Acer Sync, then it's possible you need to get a new version if possible, though it seems to not have been updated recently.
If you haven't used Acer sync then please go into detail about what and how you go about syncing your tablet.
Thanks.
how about using airdroid?
I have update all software and ever re-set , nothing , all i want is a simple USB sync to my computer...why is Acer making this so difficult to achieve..
Bump, anyone found a way to fix this yet ?
If you're talking about Acer Sync, then you're out of luck because Acer Sync is not compatible with ICS currently. I don't think they will be updating it as I see no Acer Sync on their flagship Android device atm (usually when they have the intention of updating apps, you'll see them on the most expensive devices asap).
My advice to you would be to attempt workaround solutions. I keep folders synced through the use of Box, Dropbox, Evernote and Sugarsync - mostly through Dropbox though as that is easiest and best suits me. Sugarsync may be better for you as that will automatically download the files to your tablet. Dropbox allows you to see the file and download it by using or selecting to download it. I keep my emails and calendars synced through the use of Gmail and Google Calendar.
If your problem is that you don't have or don't want to use Wifi to sync, I'm sure you can find some USB syncing PIM app on the Play Store.
I know, this is probably not what you want to hear.
Good Luck.

Well I have right now ICS OTA 4.0.3 and and use DejaOffice for sincronize whit Outlook calendar, contacts, notes and tasks I left the use of AcerSync since I have Honeycomb 3.2, DejaOffice is good to sincronize via USB and WIFI it´s not free but worth the cost.
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!

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
Hi,
I can sync all I want from my chrome account from a desktop to another, but the tabs sync just doesn't work (when the bookmarks are syncing very well).
When I try to activate the Android Chrome preference "Open tabs" in the sync section, and I come back, the option just unchecked itself. It used to work perfectly, and as I remember, I did not change anything to my tablet, computer or Google account. Everything is up to date on both my computer and Nexus 7, the OS and the Apps.
Did I miss something?
Hope that I did post in the good section. If not, i'll be happy to move this thread.

Identical problem here. My last sync appears to have been 3 days ago —*I suspect a recent Chrome update broke it. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my account from both desktop Chrome and Nexus Chrome with no success. My Galaxy Nexus is having no problems.

Tired the same things, still no luck. You have no problems with you Galaxys Nexus, I suppose you have this issu on your Nexus 7?
Yes, my problem is with the N7.
Same problem on my GS2
I've had this same problem on my SGS2 running cm10 for more than 2 weeks now. The open tabs sync settings option keeps unchecking itself. I've tried disconnecting my account on both my PC and GS2. I've even deleted data and reinstalled Chrome to no avail.
I think we'll all be very relieved to know that it's Google's fault. I can't post links, but Ars Technica just wrote an article on it titled "Why Gmail went down: Google misconfigured Chrome's sync server"
FIX
It doen't answer the question, but it solves the issue.
Following this procedure ended up fixing the problem for me:
- Export your bookmark, just to be sure
- Sign out from every Chrome client you have (desktop, android...)
- Go to your Google Dashboard
- Erase all the sync activity
- Wait for it to finish (a couple of minutes should does the trick)
- Log back in
- Import back your bookmarks (it shouldn't be necessary)
The tabs are now syncing.
Note: if you type "about:sync" in the omnibar, it should give you the errors about the sync function.
Hope this will work for you too.

Have you tried adding a second Google account? You can do this through the Google app. Actually you can logout of your Google account and log into another account via that all too. Click on the account icon in the upper right hand corner for these options.

I clicked the account icon but there is still no option to log out. Only switch or manage or use without accounts.
