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!

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.

I have an i9505 and i cannot get air jump or smart scroll to work for Facebook primarily with the i9505
Also all other playstore internet, type scroll based apps
There is a preset default minimal list enabling air jump (internet & email) only apparantly ???
Smart scroll indicates internet & email....
IS THERE ANYWAY FACEBOOK, PINTEREST AND ALL OTHER APPS BESIDES internet & email be ENABLED !!
EVEN CUSTOM OPTIONS AS THE PHONE IS A FULLY ROOTED DEVICE
Please help
Many thanks
not at the moment. the application needs to be coded to work with the samsung features, so you'd have to petition facebook to add the functionality in, assuming Samsung expose that API..
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, I have the following problem with S-Planner application and do not seem to find a way to fix it - I mainly use S-Planner as an Outlook Calendar and I sync it with MS Exchange, my issue is that I have MS Lync meetings scheduled in it. When I open one of these Lync meetings invites into S-Planner I have a direct URL (link) which directs me directly to the Lync Meeting and automatically opens the Lync app. The issue here is that when I press that link it automatically opens via the stock Samsung browser and does not give me an option to choose what browser to use to open it. The Lync Meeting invite in S-Planner does not work with the Samsung Stock Browser as it does not seem to recognize that Lync is installed on the phone, so nothing ever happens. On the other hand it works perfectly with Firefox and Dolphin browsers, but as I said I do not have an option to make one of them the default browser to open URLs in S-Planner tasks. I checked the Stock Samsung Browser in application manager and no defaults what so ever are set for it, the "defaults" button is also greyed out. I also tried making Firefox the default browser for the phone following many articles, but even though it was set as the default browser, opening a URL from within S-Planner kept on opening with the Samsung Stock browser. Any way around this please, can anything be done to change that ?
Does anyone have an answer to that ? Even if it is not possible, please do let me know.
you have the option in the first time the chice to choose the default browser you can reinstall all the browser app and chose what u need in the first start will give u the choxe to choose ur default browser or go to application to default application and chose what u want

Thank you for your reply but as I mentioned there aren't any defaults set neither on S-Planner nor on the Samsung Stock Browser, I checked both in the application manager and they have both the "No Defaults Set" note on them, the "Clear Defaults" button is greyed out (inactive) on both of them, despite that when I open a URL (web link) from within S-Planner it does not ask me which web browser to use to open it, but goes straight to the Samsung Stock Web Browser despite the fact that it has no defaults set.
