Chrome Sync not working for me...

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!

Disable N7 from offering to log me into every Google webpage

Is there a way to disable the N7 from logging me in and offering to log me in to every Google re-seed webpage and service? I like to share my N7, but I don't like that if you open Chrome to Gmail.com, it will log into the Gmail service automatically or offer to do so. I can use a security app like App Protector to lock down the Gmail APP, but I don't want to disable Chrome entirely. I just don't want people to be able to use Chrome on the N7 to be able to log into Gmail, G+, etc.
How can I do this?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app

UPDATE: Better, but still no solution.
I found that Chrome has a settings (tap menu, then Settings, then tap your email address listed at the top of the menu immediately below "Basics"). There you will find an option called "Auto sign-in (sign into to Google sites automatically)." By un-ticking this box, it no longer offer to log me into Gmail, merely because I visit gmail.com (or mail.google.com).
This is only partially helpful. Anyone who knows this can simply open the settings and tick the box and then get into my Gmail. The solution is to password-protect the Settings menu in Chrome. Devs, I'd pay for that.

Possible to disable Chrome browser automatic login to google account?

Hi
I dont want people to be able to type mail,google,com in Chrome browser on my Nexus 7 and be able to access my mail account or other google services. Chrome browser settings allow you unlink your google account connection but you can simply relink it.
I use "smart app protector+" to lock apps i dont want other people to get into but Chrome browser would be nice to have open.
Any suggestions?
thx

[Q] Note 3 S-Planner Issue

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.

Anyone having issues with not being able to disable instant apps?

Hi,
Is anyone else having issues not being able to disable instant apps in Chrome/Google search results?
(Obviously it's disabled in Settings > Apps and Notifications > Default Apps > Opening Links > Instant App (toggled off) and Instant App Preferences > Upgrade Web links (toggled off))
Yet when using Chrome/Google search and look for instance anything on twitter, it will open Twitter no matter what. This only is an issue in Chrome/Google widget. Firefox is fine.
Steps to reproduce Issue:
OP8 Pro with OOS 10 or OOS 11, latest Google/Chrome/Play services/Twitter app installed.
1) Use chrome or google search bar widget
2) Search anything on twitter using google
3) Click the search result (a tweet for instance)
4) Link opens in Twitter app and not in Browser no matter the above settings
Setting Twitter app defaults to not open any links doesn't change the behavior.
Rebooting/Cleaning Cache/OOS Upgrade doesn't affect the behavior.
Regards
