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?

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

I was able to get it to work make sure both are logged in to your Google account, which I'm sure you did.
You are using the browser that came with the rom correct?

Try disabling the ad blocker using the zip from tasks thread.

Yes, the browser is the same. Have tried both suggestions, no luck so far.. When I untick an retick the synk the circular icon turns a couple of seconds then stops.. No probems with the other syncs, just browser. Annoying without my bookmarks :-(
Problem solved!
The bookmarks where suddenly synced after a couple of hours.
I believe the adblock remove did the trick..
Thanks for the help guys
I'm having the same problem but mine is force closing gapps when I shut off the bookmark sync it doesn't do it anymore but I would
D like to have my bookmarks

The galaxy task rom uses the browser form the ZOOM tablet as it looks a lot better, if you want original browser you can find the system apk (these dont install like normal but go in a system folder and load at boot up) and you cna try the stock browser. You can sync your memo's as well if you go into the memo app, veyr handy for saving data.
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.
Patrick
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!
Hi,
I'm not sure if this should go in this forum, or in my phone's forum. Wife has a Galaxy S3 and has a ton of bookmarks set up on it. I just got her a N7 for her birthday, and she'd like to find a way to get bookmarks from her phone, to the N7. I know that if her bookmarks were in Chrome, she'd be able to get them that way, but she just has the stock browser on her S3. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks. I looked through the phone, and don't see any way to sync the bookmarks to google. Other things, but not bookmarks. I will check out that app that you mentioned.

make a backup of her bookmarks with that app, install the app on the nexus 7, copy the backup from the phone to the seven, then restore it with the app.
On all my other devices, in the stock android browser I have a bookmarks folder that is tied to my gmail account that always seems to show up. I am not getting this on my new s4. Any ideas how to get this? (without using Chrome)

Try Dolphin browser, you can sync bookmarks from within the browser by signing in to Google.

Yeah. I know that Dolphin can do this, but in this case I am wondering why the stock browser doesn't function the same as all of my other Android devices.

Because it is not an android stock browser. It is Sbrowser a modified version by samsung. no way to sync with your Google account. I had to save my bookmarks manually. Sucks. Other than that you would have to use chrome.
