Why dont browser bookmarks backec up with google sync? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I dont get it...with gingerbread on the evo my bbokmarks would sync with what was saved on googles server. Why doesnt this happen with inital setup on the e4gt?

As a fix, go download MyBackup from the market. It will do the trick. Yes uts lame it foesnt sync them, i agree

[APP] Google Mobile Sync: Exchange Push Contacts/Calendar

Just ahead of MS' My Phone beta this week, here comes Google Mobile Sync for WinMobile, with Exchanged-based Contacts and Calendar sync to the Google cloud. As its push based, changes in one end automatically get pushed to the other.

GMail Imap frustrates a lot of users, add Gmail to this Exchange-solution in the cloud, and I would never look back at Imap.
very nice i was waiting for this so long. Now only a way to download it... lol IE explorer and opera both give me: Google sync is not supported by your device. It becomes time google puts in a link to manually override this auto detecting crap, because it obviously doesnt work all to well...
This could be interesting but how well does Outlook 2003 sync with Google (in the sky)?
I use Google Calendar to Sync my outlook files so that I can share my calendar but if this does that for me, then I suppose I don't need to do that step (other than it would save my data plan!)

There is no application to download, you just setup activesync on your phone as shown at this link

nice. Although i'd only use this if you could turn off the contact sync. You could end up with a contact list full of your gmail suggested contacts...
I think you can indeed turn off the contact sync. Just uncheck "Contacts" in the ActiveSync settings dialog. Haven't tested this yet, but should do, doesn't it?
I use www.nuevasync.com that offers a very similar service for some time now.
And since a few months ago it doesn't add those suggested contacts anymore because googles api can seperate them. Perhaps I'll try sync and see if it works as well as nuevasync does.
I use OggSync Pro works great for what I need

how to get google contacts/calender on tp2 6.5

hello,
i flashed to 6.5 official and i was wondering if there is any easy way to sync all of my data calender and contacts to my phone now, im really used to the google system. and yes im coming from a g1
Google sync
unfortunately google sync for Windows mobile is a big pile of pooo.
It would sync once, after that you will most likely encounter a problem on scheduled syncs.
At least in my case, i would sync it once installed a new ROM, then delete the exchange settings from the Active sync. This will stop you from going crazy after several failed attempts to synchronize after
Can't you just set up the mobile exchange feature of Google? Not to use a bad word, but my Wiff's iphone is set up that way and all contacts/calendar/email are in perfect sync with her google account? I just selected the "Exchange" configuration.
I have to admit that I have yet to try it with my TP2... I would think if anything it would work just as well
I'm syncing my contact, calendar and mails via active sync protocoll too and it works fine (using google as like as an exchange server, not the separate google sync program).
but it seems you have to exclude items from syncing which you have not activated yet: i don't use "Tasks" in my google account, and until i deactivated it in the exchange/AS settings, i got sync errors. but after deactivating "Tasks"-syncing i never got errors again...
It should be the the same procedure if other components are unused, because if you create a googlemail-mailbox, you'll get contacts too, but no tasks nor calendar. those have be created/activated manually in your google account.
thankS! that removing tasks made it work. although i cant seem to see my contacts. do u think i have it set up where it wont import the google contacts for any reason?
THis may be obvious, but under activesync, make sure that you have Contacts checked off..I don't know if they are all enabled by default
yes that one is selected. i have a lot of contacts that i dont want to manually set up again please let me know if anyone has had this problem and resolved it or thinks they can help me.
but so far i really like this phone!
UPDATE: restarted phone and works even better now! ALL my contacts and now I have 3G instead of H

Use Google Sync. Here's a link:
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
Yeah Google sync is great, and the link below is an awesome guide that snarksneeze wrote on how to set it up and use it....but, I do believe that the only access it gives you to your gcontacts is by syncing them with your phone's contacts

Let me ask you something, did the other contacts that you had sync just fine? I also want to ask if you know that you might just syncing with YOUR phone contacts, there's an option there to sync all or just sync your phone contacts. If you sync all then it should bring this new facebook contact into your phone app but if you just sync with your phone contacts then whatever you inputed yourself is going to replace the picture and add their email/facebook profile....nothing more, nothing less.
Try this....uninstall your facebook app by either going into your settings/applications and doing it that way or if is installed in your system/app directory then use root explorer and delete the entire app that way. REBOOT....then go into the market, download facebook once again. Now go to settings/accounts & sync and make sure you got your settings to syncing automatically.........NOW, go and open your facebook app and make sure when you log in that you click sync all or whatever is called...don't have my phone next to me so I'm going off of memory here..lol....Now wait a couple of seconds while your phone syncs and your new facebook buddy should be in your phone app.
Hope this has help, if it did then hit the THANKS button if it didn't....at least I tried! GOOD LUCK!!!
I uninstalled htc facebook and after a reboot and redownloading facebook I cannot add an account again. I think I did something wrong. Can I get htc facebook back?
