So since I have started rooting and flashing a couple weeks ago I noticed Google Chrome bookmarks on my PC have been vanishing. I have been scratching my head wondering wtf was going on. I am not too big on bookmarks on my phone so it took me this long to realise that my PC bookmarks are now on my phone and not my laptop! I have no chrome to phone or anything else to have my phone browser talk to my PC browser. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have any idea as to why this happened? I must say I am happy I found them at least lol. Any response wood be appreciated! (P.S. I did search first and found nothing)

I have noticed a sync issue all around with chrome. At work I save a bookmark and sometimes it will never show up on other chrome browsers on other pc's that I am normally logged into. The fix has been to log out of chrome sync on that machine and log back in. So chrome for ICS will sync your bookmarks and it does on my phone, but chrome FC's so I can never use it, but they have never disappeared from my desktop machine.
So try logging out and logging back in on the PC and see if that fix's it.
Oh and this should be in the Q&A section.
I appreciate the info. I will for sure give it a shot. Apologies for posting in the wrong section. Still learning the ropes. One day I shall be perfect! haha Thanks again!

Ok, I know this has nothing to do with the Epic Touch but I value all of your opinions about technology stuff.
I recently switched my primary email to be my Gmail account and since I did that I was going to try using pretty much all of Google's products since it makes things very streamlined.
In doing so, I switched from Firefox to Chrome on my computers. It's a great browser: love the themes, controls, add-ons; pretty much everything (especially once chrome on android gets ironed out and bookmarks, tabs, etc. are fluid between desktop and devices).
Unfortunately, there's a major kink in the armor I've found since starting to use Chrome. Google's own websites are acting wonky! Not all of them, but Google search & Google maps (two I use constantly for work) are acting erratically. See screenshot attached as far as the search problem. Maps is just really, really unreliable and slow. It will take 10-20 tries to get it to find an address, if it ever does. I'll open Firefox and it will find it the very first time, very quickly...same with the google search. It never shows the page I screenshot and is very quick and reliable on FF.
I'm confused and just looking for some insight from ya'll smart mofos.
Is it just those two sites, or are other Google sites affected as well?
Make sure you're using the Stable release of Chrome. (Settings -> About Google Chrome and make sure dev or beta is not after the version number.)
Have you tried swapping out your DNS servers? I tend to use Google's DNS servers. http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ (Let me know if you can;t get to that, lol.)
Something might be messed up in your registry.
I had to change to Google Chrome from Firefox about 6 months ago because the Reg was all messed up and causing Firefox not to play any video, and a few other things. Yet when I started Chrome everything worked. Instead of trying to figure it out I just kept using Chrome. Haven't had any problems since. Although you may be using a Beta version also and don't even know it.
It took me awhile to find a decent program for checking the reg, so I would do a search on www.download.com for registry or registry checker.
ps I hate it when cheerios goes down the wrong side of your throat. cough cough cough
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. I downloaded CCleaner and that got rid of a bunch of stuff, helped with google search a lot. Maps is still sucky though, but I am considering trying out the DNS suggestion at home first as a guinea pig then here at my office pc. I'll let you know what comes of it.
I'm having a problem getting to cyanogen mod Nightlies as well. Those pages just won't load! IE9 would find. Also AVG keeps blocking those sites and wont let me unblock them!
I use chrome as well, and sometimes when i go to fb, chrome wont load the feed. then i reload and it works. this happened on every fb page i would go to. go to firefox or IE and it al worked fine so i knew it was on Chromes side, maybe the way the script was wrote. anyways, this did this for about 2 months. i kinda got used to it. but then it updated and it doesnt do it anymore. BUT, since i installed linux and chrome for linux, now the chrome on linux does it again. was wondering if anyone else had this problem. i know this is about google services not working right, thought i would throw that out there. dont know if it will help or not (leaning towards the not). just my 2 cents.
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else is getting this problem today or if it's just me.
I logged on this morning as I do everyday and when I tried replying to someone it told me I'm not logged in, so I typed in my details again and that same page continued to show until I shut my browser and opened another session. This let me log in but still when I try to reply to a post or even when I tried to view my control panel it logged me out and wouldn't allow me back in until I started a new browser session.
I've been monitoring it during my lunch time session and have had to close down and re-login multiple times but noticed also when looking through threads it was logging me out and in automatically from page to page.
I've tried both chrome and IE and both behave the same way. Thankfully I was able to post this so am hoping it stops doing it.
If it makes any difference I'm on the 2013 theme and I've never had this happen before today.
Thanks
I am using Firefox and I haven't seen that problem except at the very beginning of my time here last year, and then just a few times until it cleared up.

It seems when I have the "Remember me" box unchecked the problem arises but since ticking the box it isn't happening. I don't generally have remember me ticked while on work PC's but as said never happened before so hopefully just a glitch on my side.
Thanks
I am getting it too on my work PC (who knows what browser they use, it so filtered) but I also got that on my home PC (Firefox).
Frankly, it is making it unusable for me atm b/c I have to do all the steps you said above just to post. If I want to post multiple times in different threads, it can take more time to post the message than it did to type it. I've resorted to typing the message, then copying it and hitting post just to be kicked out, re-log in and clear caches/cookies and paste and post. It is a real PITA.
I've tried on 2010, 2013b and 2013b1024 just in case it was a theming issue. Am not having that problem on any other forums or outside internet sites that I have logged into but I have noticed it over the past two days, as well.

Did you try ticking "Remember me" when logging in as sorted it for me, I just had to remember to log out when I finished.
Well, let's see here.
Edit: No dice. Logged me out again. Tried it with Remember Me ticked and unticked.
Edit2: In fact, I just went to my tablet forums and it showed me as logged out. Then I clicked the XDA in the top corner to come back to this thread and it shows me as logged in. Must be ghosts in the machine.
Edit3: Now it is showing me as logged in right now, so I tried to go to the RC forums and got denied. Pulled up my phone forums in the Find Your Device (because I thought it might be something to do with my favorites/bookmarks) and it shows me as logged off. If I open the About XDA-Developers page, I am logged in.
Edit4: Sorry about these edits. I am only logged into THIS THREAD and not About XDA-Developers. I just got a PM and can't read it b/c it logs me out.
I've been experiencing this since Tuesday morning. Both in Chrome and Firefox. I've changed nothing and log in the same way as always. Happens when I try to reply and view my subscriptions. Tapatalk is the only way I can view and reply to anything right now.
Edit - this is happening both at home and work.

This is happening to me too. I can get on once in every 100 attempts. I have tried everything, including changing browser, ip, computer, switching to xda 2010 and back, and ticking the remember me.
It's been happening to me for the last few days, I just ticked remember me, now I'm in for once!
The solution for this is to click the "Remember me" box when logging in. This is an issue that seems to have arisen due to a change in infrastructure on our end (I believe). It doesn't seem to impact all accounts however, just some of them.
If anyone has this issue after checking the "Remember me" box, please let me know.

Yes happening to me. If I clean everything in history of my browser, any browser, it logs me once. Immediately like I would post now it would log me out. It is happening in all the browsers with my account.
After getting logged out. When I again try to login, it would show a popup showing you are being logged in as nagpalkapil but would again not log e in and come out until I clean everything from history again including cookies etc. Has started happening for just last two days and was perfect before. Please help urgently on it.
I have been using xda for a long time and the site has worked great.
I have noticed a couple of things lately and I think it might be on my end but I am out of ideas.
I am using Chrome to view the site on my laptop and work desktop and the default browsers on my android phone and touchpad running webos (and sometimes android).
For some reason, the site no longer ever recognizes me as being logged in so I have to log in with each browser session. This is after years of logging in once per device. Now when I log in, I get a message that says my user name and password are incorrect but if I refresh the page, I am then logged in and can go about my business for that browser session.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Muffins.. muffins everywhere!
Totally Newbie to site, not totally green to computers . Had my note tablet 10.1 2014 for 1yr. Had an app (Pinterest) the whole time. Just recently a box showed up on the app. I don't know what it is and can't get it to go away.
This box only appears on my tablet app, It doesn't do anything when you try to click it, nothing. Have Pinterest on 2 other galaxy phone's doesn't show up in either . All 3 devices have same gmail account. I tried manually reset, manual clear partition cache, 3 times. I run AVG nothing comes up. Delete app and reload, same box appears. I am afraid to delete and reload on other phones to see if it happens. I can see Pinterest through a browser, but I am more worried I have a bug or virus or corrupted partition. I did send pic to Pinterest, waiting for reply. In the meantime thought I would ask some experts. It's driving me crazy that this thing won't go away. Any suggestions or help would be way appreciated.
Update: It is my account, I opened new account in hubbys name and email, on another tablet where my gmail account is primary, NO BOX!!! Thank you in advance for any help. I will have to figure out what it is now.
The problem seems to be known to Pinterest support and they are apparently working on it.

THANK U
Now I know I am not going crazy or have a "bug" on my end. Thank you Iternetpilot. :good:
I have trouble getting my 300MB Notebook to to sync, Does anybody have a workaround or a tip?
I still couldn't set it up properly.
Just a little more info might help us.
What happens when you try to sync?
Are you on wifi or on 3g?
What is the behaviour you expect?
Have you tried syncing a small notebook?
Have you tried creating a new notebook just on the device and syncing that?
I use OneNote all the time and have no issues at all. My notebooks are rather large, too. Perhaps if we know what it is doing instead of syncing we could help you out.
My Bad, Thanks for the prompt response guys..
The Syncing never finishes. It's been two days now. I even put it for one full day.
Worst part is in this new version of OneNote I cant see the sync progress. Earlier version, there was an option to see which section is syncing and how many are more left on the notification bar. So I'd know if it gets stuck somewhere, there's a problem with a page. But in the new version, no notification appears. Since guys seem to be doing alright, it might be something on the device. My laptop syncs perfectly, and only the note 7 gave this problem now.
