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.

Hi,
It caught my eye that the new version of Maps is able to sync starred places with Google Bookmarks, yet the stock browser cannot do it and forces me to create all the bookmarks again after every wipe.
Do you guys know if there is a workaround to be able to sync these bookmarks?
Use Dolphin Browser and sync with your Google Bookmarks.
MyBookmarks in the market.... couldn't be easier!

Either download Bookmark Backup & Restore from Market, or go into your settings and allow Google to backup all your settings. That includes bookmarks.
Well, those apps seem to just backup bookmarks on the phone. I would like to bookmark a page on the computer and access it on the phone, or vice versa.

Ah, I see.. well that functionality isn't available as yet, but you'll be happy to hear that Google is working on the ability to synch bookmarks between your Android phone and Chrome. It's just a matter of time.

IIRC, Eric Tseng or that Rubin guy mentioned this in an interview. Can't link you because I can't remember exactly who said it and on which site it appeared. But I definitely remember they're working on this. A Google search might yield results for you.

Thanks a lot, I will post it here if I find some info.
I had read or hear somewhere that there is an issue with attachments in gmail on the note 10.1 Is this confirmed by users who have one and use gmail or just a bad reviewer. Still trying to decide on Infinity or 10.1 and this is very important to me.
Thanks in advance.
I assume you mean using the stock e-mail client. I don't imagine the GMail app would behave any differently on the Note than it does anywhere else.

Just install a file manager app like Astro and you will be able to attach any file in the GMail app.

I don't have this problem.
No probs with attachments here, neither Samsung client nor original Gmail.
The Samsung client only sometimes won't download integrated pictures in emails like company logos.
No issues for me either. Just bad reviewers.
No he didn't mean the stock email client he meant gmail. Within gmail you only get these options (gallery or dropbox) stock for attachments but you can also send stuff initiating outside gmail using the share options in what ever app your in.
Also as gdirks says installing a file manager will let you choose whatever.

I have to admit that's pretty stupid. In my pics that's GMail being used via ActiveSync and you can see the stock e-mail client has Samsung's My Files app as the number one option. It also gives the option of sending content created in the S-tools. There's no reason (that I can think of) that the GMail app shouldn't behave the same way. At least to your point the problem can be solved by installing a third party file manager.

yes that is correct, installing a file manager like x-plore or solid explorer will work just fine.
Thanks all for your response. I will check things out a bit more.

Yup, agreed it shouldn't but it's samsung's terrible software design at work here. Maybe it was an honest oversight and they will fix it. I say we pressure them to do so. I'm sure someone will figure out how to fix it soon enough on xda but the whole point is that we shouldn't have to fix things like that, it should work just like stock aosp android.
I really don't want to setup gmail as active sync.
A friend also had the same issue. On my Galaxy Note 10.1 I had a slection for "attach video". Fixed the problem with this app: [I'm not allowed to post links- sorry]. Go to Play Store and search on "Attachments [Gmail Attach]"
I have no relationship with this developer. Cheers, David
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.
I know android chrome syncs with desktop chrome bookmarks, but what if i prefer stock browser?

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.
I am having trouble importing bookmarks from SGS3 to SGS4.
I've rooted and tried TiBu, but, the XML backup doesn't seem to point to the right place. The process takes a lot of time and says it's completed, but, doesn't work.
I tried another 3rd party app as well to no avail.
Any suggestions?
the bookmarks are ****ed in the S4. I've added quite a few and they won't show up no matter what. looks like they forgot about something.

I got mine by turning off google internet sync first from s3. Then then moved them from the google to samsung and synced them. Then i synced my tab that had the bookmarks in the google still back to google internet. It sounds complicated but it worked for me this was. Its so stupid that i cannot see google internet bookmarks in my stock browser.

So even after that you have to use Chrome and not the stock browser?

I wonder if TiBu will address this. Considering their XML "Backup" isn't working
I have found Chrome to be excellent in this area...
