so i downloaded the chrome beta that was released to market a few days ago on my prime and galaxy nexus..
i also use the chrome browser on my pc..
my question is that i use the sign in to chrome to sync the data i want (bookmarks and auto fill, etc)...but when i go to "other devices" on my prime, i only see the galaxy nexus..and vice versa. i don't see my chrome browser on other devices, nor are the bookmarks sent from the chrome pc browser to the g nexus or the prime...
am i doing something wrong? is syncing possible natively? (yes, i am logged in on my pc chrome as well..)
thanks!
I had a similar issue. I went into the sync settings in chrome on my pc and clicked "use default settings" Everything synced immediately.
It took a bit for the bookmarks to sync and a restart for the open tabs to sync for me. Make sure what you want synced is checked in the options as well.
thanks for the suggestion..i'll try checking the "sync everything" to see if it makes a difference...and then use the second suggestion and give it time..hehe
but yes, i have "sync everything" on my tablet and phone..and bookmarks and persona data on my pc...
i guess i should try to clear the data and restart the app...it's just odd that the pc browser is the only one that doesn't show up while the others do, no matter the order..hmm..

I know the seems like a really easy question but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I had a hard drive crash on my laptop and lost all the backups I had on my computer (most were saved on DVD's) but I somehow managed to not keep my Chrome Bookmarks.
Anyways, I have the chrome bookmarks still on my phone as sync was disabled after the crash but I can't figure out how to sync from the phone to my computer. When I enable sync on my phone it just deletes all the desktop bookmarks I still had on it. I have a Titanium Backup of the bookmarks so I can try this as many ways as needed.
Has anyone done this? Is there an app? What can I try to get my bookmarks back on my computer short of typing them all into my browser one at a time.
Thanks!
I use chromemarks and it works great. You may have to tweak the sync options...
Chrome Marks syncs from the Desktop to the Phone only I believe and I am looking to sync from the phone to the Desktop unfortunately.
Thanks for the reply though!!
I am currently running an FC07 rom and under the Google sync settings there is one called Sync internet. This always fails. What exactly does that sync?
The complete internet .....lol
Your bookmarks....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
That is what I thought but it gives me an error every time even though the bookmarks have been synced
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Internet Sync
This works with your Google+ account. It will sync your pictures from there. They took away Facebook sync because it was a violation to Android TOS.
the solution is here

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its the sync settings in chrome!
In google chrome settings via a computer, There is a hyperlink to google dashboard. Go there and down to Chrome Sync, Reset and delete chrome data. Then in Chrome settings reset sync and do NOT set it to "encrypt all data" just use the fist option "encrypt with password",
Problem fixed.
just to clarify...
It syncs your open tabs in cromebrowser as well as your bookmarks cross platforms... so from every device you run chrome browser on and are logged in to your account.
ps. would like to know if my posts helped.... reporting back or a thank you would be appreciated.
so i'm having a problem with syncing the internet on my gs3... any help?
basically whenever i go to sync all in the google account, it says "sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back later" but it never works... it has never worked for me that i can remember. i want to be able to have my open tabs and my bookmarks etc come up on my phone from desktop and vice versa... i'm using the chrome browser if that matters, but i don't think it has worked with the stock browser either.
any help? thanks

Hi guys, I'm having problem Syncing Bookmark between my GNexus with PA 2.99 and Chrome for Windows.
The tab just can't sync it, and it's quite annoying... The fact is that sync bookmarks works like a charm with Chrome for Android, but nothing at all with the stock ICS browser... I would use chrome, but I really need flash for browsing
I checked on settings/account and sync/google account and i found the source of the problem: it seems that the sync function has stop working, in fact there's a "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly". But the "shortly" has last a moth now!!!
I've tried to delete the google account and log in again, but still not working... So I tought it was a chrome for windows problem, I whent to google dashboard and deleted the sync setting from there... but still not working.
The problem occur even with my GTab 7.7 P6800 with SkyHigh 3.6!!!
So I'm guessing that the problem is not on the GTab, but in my google account...
For some reason, with the stock browser, it no longer shows me my Google account when I go in to save bookmarks and only shows me "My Device". I am signed into my Google account in the browser and can browse the web fine.
It was working fine until today and I have always saved my bookmarks to my Google account so that they sync between devices.
But now, all of the sudden, when I go to save a bookmark, my only choice is "My Device".
My Google account shows as signed in, in the default browser when viewing Google.Com, but my Google account no longer appears as an option when saving a bookmark.
Any ideas???
Also, when I had ICS on my other device (tablet), I used the ICS+ browser and it was nice and accessed the default browsers bookmarks and saved them to my Google account.
Does anyone know if there is one like this for JB? I could not find one.
Thanks!

Maybe I can be more concise.
When I go into the default Android Web Browser and go to save a bookmark, I can suddenly only save it to "My Device". My Google account (I am logged into it) has suddenly and completely disappeared from the browser. This means that my bookmarks will no longer sync across devices and I bookmark a lot and this feature is very important to me and almost completely deflated my user experience.
Does anyone know how to get it back?
Addtnl Info: The browser is the only place that does not see my Google acct (although I am logged in on Google.Com) and in my Settings my GMail acct is there and "Internet" syncs fine.
