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.

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?

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.
I know android chrome syncs with desktop chrome bookmarks, but what if i prefer stock browser?
i tried the bookmark sync apk that worked for galaxy s3 but it didnt do anything for s4
there is no "sync browser" option in google account, only "sync chrome"
anyone?
Bump...
Waiting for answer as well...

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.
On my GS3 there was the option under the Google account settings to sync Chrome boomarks with stock Android browser but on my GS4 there isn't this option. How can I sync Chrome bookmarks with default browser?
Thanks

I would love to know the answer to this to, and how to enable flash support on the default browser like how it used to work on the GS3?
Read somewhere that they removed the option. When you're rooted, you can install the AOSP browser with google sync (zip file). Should be somewhere in the themes and apps section.

I can't get my dolphin browser to access my Google account for a bookmark sync. Every time I try and do it I get the message attached. I'm on Liquid Smooth right now but I have done the sync before on other roms like C-Rom. Any ideas?

It seems that you haven't update to the latest version of Dolphin Browser.You try to to install Dolphin V11.1.3 to see if it work.
Also you can try to contact with Dolphin CS: [email protected]
Hey, did you solve the sync problem. I've been struggling with it for over a year on various Samsung devices. Dolphin Support tried to help but didn't really get anywhere. It works with me after a 'fresh ' rom install but breaks almost immediately.
