So, am I the only one having issues getting the stock browser's bookmarks to sync or at least import to Dolphin? Tried everything (including the abysmal 'Bookmarks to SD' app) with no luck. I really liked the stability and speed of Dolphin but I have tons of bookmarks synced over from my desktop that I rely on to give it up.
PS - Opera Mobile is horrible and I don't care what anyone says.
Same problem with stock browser, my bookmarks are incomplete, but with dolphin and bookmarks to sd it's all right, and i have choose for this last one
Firefox: export bookmarks.html, copy to tablet, use "bookmark to sd" app and import the html.
F that, I'll stick with stock browser instead. It's too much of a hassle.
I don't understand why instead of syncing with Gmail, it can't sync/share the same location as the stock browser and let the stock browser do all the syncing.
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!

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 trying to get my bookmarks on my phone from my chrome browser on my computer but there is no option in the syncing to sync with your google account. I don't wish to use the Chrome browser all the time and besides having your bookmarks in chrome from your requires you to keep sync enabled and I don't want to as that uses battery that I don't want to spend. So is there anyway to sync your stock browser with chrome from your desktop for bookmarks to be on the phone?
I just started looking into this last night myself and so far haven't found a solution. Looks like it's a known issue though... keep us posted if you find a resolution.
i use the chrome browser on my PC and the stock aosp browser on my S4. both browsers are signed in to my gmail. bookmarks sync perfectly. as a matter of fact, hyperlinks sync as well. if i view an xda thread on my device, it shows it as read on my PC.
Hi All,
I'm trying to export my samsung internet bookmarks into Firefox but not having much luck at all. I first thought about using the samsung internet extension in Chrome to sync the bookmarks into chrome and then do an export from there. But this went a bit wrong when the extension deleted all of my samsung bookmarks and synced over my old chrome bookmarks. I wanted it to delete my old chrome bookmarks and copy over the newer ones from the Samsung browser.
I've looked on the play store for a bookmark utility which could possibly import & export across different browsers but haven't found anything.
Any suggestions appreciated.
