Hey Guys,
I'm quite sure these questions have been asked before but I can't find it
1. My Browser doesn't want to sync. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
2. How can I transfer files to any specific location? (sms backup file for example) - SOLVED!
Thanks a lot!
Does no one have this problem?
Browser sync gives me an error too.

Good I'm not alone. Are you using the Chrome dev version?
i have a problem with browser sync as well, and i'm using Chrome Stable.

It doesn't work on the nexus s AOSP roms floating around either. I think it's broken, or not turned on yet.
Its not broken, i have it working on mine.
To get it to work. Clear the browser data on the device and uncheck sync browser. Then go onto google dashboard and there is an option to "Stop sync and delete data from Google" This will take a few minutes to complete.
When it has done, recheck sync browser on the nexus, and it should sync. This worked for me.
What worked for me is, to delete everything from the Google Dashboard and re synchronize everything.
I have Browser sync issues on my GT8.9 and GT10.1 tabs also, so this seems to be a general problem, not related to Galaxy Nexus.
Is there a way to sync the phone and chrome via BT/Wifi/USB or just anyway that I don't have to sync with the "cloud" first?
With a 3rd party app, yes. With the stock Cal, no.
I'm sorry.

Bump. Any help on this browser sync thing?
Yeah, I'm curious too. Chrome sync works fine for my desktop, laptop, and work pc, but haven't gotten it to work on ICS.

Yeah, but you didn't answer his question.
If we delete the sync data from google dashboard, do we loose all our bookmarks and passwords from our desktop PC's since they are all synced?
delete the data. then sync it back again via chrome. done.
might gonna do that for my 3 chrome installations
such a hassle w/ 2 step authentication.

no, all it does is remove your sync data off of Google servers, once its deleted and you activate sync on your phone you activate sync on your PC browser and all the data gets re-populated.

Last night I updated my wife's Epic to DK28. The problem is her contacts are gone and syncing doesn't bring them back. Why wouldn't they have saved to her gmail am I overlooking something. I have flashed my phones a lot and never had this issue.
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
check google/contacts online and see if her contacts are listed there. My wife had a similar problem and turns out when she added a contact she added them to her phone address book and not google.
http://www.google.com/contacts
They are not there is there a way to add them to Google after they are back in the phone?
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
can you get them back on the phone? Are there a lot of them?
I had a similar problem on the syndicate rom a while ago. It would say it was syncing for a second then stop. I also noticed when i went to facebook.com and tried to install the app from there it thought my phone was something other than the epic. I resolved the issue by using a different ROM. I don't know if these things are related, but that might be a start...
Yeah luckily we found her old phone and transferred thru bluetooth but I am tryin to figure out how to get them to google in case this happens again. As far as the rom she was totally stock di18 not even rooted for 5 weeks and I updated her to unrooted dk28.

You should be able to export them from contacts via the import/export menu option. This will create a file named something like 00001.vcf(vCard file) in sdcard/external_sd/. Then go to the google contacts and import it. Hope that helps!
Ok I will try that. Thanks alot guys.

Just make sure when she adds any new contacts that she adds them to google.
Stupid question but she does have syncing turned on in her contacts right? After they're restored try to force sync, then check her google account from a desktop/laptop to see if it worked.
I've not had much luck with the import export v card feature. I recently had to delete all contacts on my phone, then go to my google account via desktop, export all contacts to google.csv, delete all contacts online, then reinstall online from the google.csv file in order to fix a syncing problem.

I think google may be having an issue at the moment. My phone is saying that Sync is currently offline and will be back shortly.
Yeah her sync is on I just don't get what happened. I have reflashed my epic about 10 times without issue. And my moment ugh probably 75-100. Never lost contacts it has been automatic since I got my first android.

After my last rom flash I had a situation where any time I added a contact on the phone it got deleted after syncing. No idea why but a google search lead me to others that had the same issue.
I think this OS still has a lot to be ironed out. I wish they'd stop adding features and just make a decent contacts app. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have to select which of the same four phone numbers I want to dial when I try to call a contact that is synced to multiple accounts, for example.

sometimes when i have synching issues, i fix it by going into 'manage applications' and clearing the data for that app. i've had to do that with gmail.... it erases and re-synchs the app, and afterwards it works like normal. of course, only do it if she does indeed have her contacts backed up on Google... otherwise they will be gone. not sure if this will fix hers, but just saying it did fix my synching issues a few times.

Galaxy Nexus, while a Samsung device, is not compatible with Samsung Kies. Galaxy Nexus runs on native android and not Samsung enhanced version of Android, this is the possible reason why.

I think a more appropriate response is "WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO!!?!?!?"
No but seriously Kies is terrible software and you can accomplish everything Kies claims to do pretty easily on your own. All your contacts are saved to your SIM and GMail already and music is pretty easy to transfer.
KIES is the worst software ever. I can't imagine even one reason to use it.
I agree the old one really was bad but the new one that you can connect through wifi works great !!

Because all of my contacts are in my older phone memory (not SIM), and synced with Outlook. I tried to use Google contacts but this is crap. Want to sync my Nexus contacts with Outlook. Is there another way to this instead of using Kies ?

Thanks. I will give this a try. Problem is Google keeps messing my contacts by adding email addresses I use to my contact list even when I don't want to. Then it arbitrarily decides to merge with existing contacts, giving priority to its own formatting instead of mine.
I'm so fed up with this that I'm currently doing a major clean up of this.

When creating my xda account, I watch the introductory video, had a good laugh§ I now also have the confirmation I'm a noob. I solved my problem of Google arbitrarily creating entries in my contact list : I just had to go in the parameters to prevent it doing so.
Now I still have a problem : when I want to sync my Nexus to my Google account, it seems priority is given to the Nexus contacts (empty list) instead of my up to date list in Google. When I sync my 148 contacts, 53 get deleted from Google. Trying to figure out how to set priority.
EDIT : problem solved, but I don't know how. All 148 contacts now appear in the phone. It did an update by itself. Seems that if I force sync, I lose contacts, if I do nothing, everything's OK. Go figure ....
As per title & screen shot; haven't yet, in the 1,5 month that I have the phone, been able to sync. And always thought it was a known issue.
Apparently it isn't? Please share the wisdom..
Edit: Solved! See (& thank) post #7.
As stated in another thread, mine works fine... I'll try if I can walk backwards through my Chrome and see if there's something that could've been missed.

Right then....
Try, in your Chrome, and open this page:
chrome://settings/syncSetup
(Settings - Personal - Advanced settings for your account)
Check if your bookmarks are set to sync and only passwords are set to be encrypted.... Your phone will give you the error, if there are no bookmarks to sync
edit: *I believe people check the option to encrypt all data, which seems to confuse the phone... ONLY passwords should be encrypted*

This is pretty easy to fix without losing any data.
1) Disable sync in Google Chrome
2) Remove stored sync data in the Google Dashboard: https://www.google.com/dashboard
3) Enable sync in Google Chrome making sure to only encrypt passwords.
4) Disable and enable browsing syncing on the Galaxy Nexus.

Have no idea if it works, since I haven't had the problem, but maybe it's worth a try?

That's what you need to do. I had to do that when I first got my gnex. Has been working fine every since, even through rom changes, ect.
One thing to note, when you clear the data from the dashboard, it takes a while to finish. so wait before going to the next step.
Step 3: here is where I found the problem! My bookmarks are encrypted! I don´t know how to turn this option off...

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster. I've tried searching for this topic, and those threads the touch on it all stop short of my issue. Please let me know if this is covered somewhere else.
My gmail stopped syncing since I've flashed Darkside Evolution Beta03 (otherwise it's great). I've tried clearing the cache and the data under manage applications as well as made sure that gmail is checked on the sync menu, but still no dice.
It used to be that my phone would beep whenever I got a new email before it even showed up on my desktop, but now I have to manually hit refresh for the app to see it at all, let alone before my computer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I tried this and no dice. It's still not syncing. I suppose I could always revert back to Juggernaut 5.0, which is what I was running before this, but it would be such a shame for what seems like a stupid reason.
Anyone else with thoughts?

I've been in that forum since day one and have never heard of this issue. Of course I may have missed a post or 20. I suggest not going back like u said, for such a stupid reason. I think ull really enjoy the rom. Reflash cuz that shouldn't happen. I doubt you need to reflash but instead of nitpicking what it could be I'd just super wipe and start over. Good luck.

Hello all,
I am using my Gnex with Vicious JB (the 8/02 version with CM10). I was using this, then tried Xenon for a little bit and came back. I just realized that the Calendar is not syncing up, though.
When I open the app it asks me if I want to sign in. This is weird since I have my Google account connected to my phone already. When I try to add it I get a message saying that this account is already on the phone... but my Calendar remains empty. I tried going to Settings -> Accounts and then Sync, there is no option for Calendar there. I also tried to add an account from the Calendar app, but it only allows me to select Corporate or Verizon.
Anyway, has anyone ever run into this before? Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need any more info, I am sure I forgot something.
Have you wiped after flashing?
Oh right, yes, I did. The cache and dalvik-cache.
I found some "solutions" on other sites and tried those. These included connecting existing Gmail accounts and creating a new ones. Still no good.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
This happened to me I just flashed gapps and calendar synced

Would bet money if you looked in system/apps that you are missing GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. Pretty much any gapps package will have it which is why it worked for the poster above me.
