[Q] Syncing bookmarks with default browser - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi Guys,*
I have run into a problem and cant seem to find any solution. When I initially bought my phone and synced it with my google account, the default S3 browser had all the links from my desktop browser. One was the LOCAL section that had the bookmarks stored in the phone and then there was another section with my email that had the desktop ones.
However recently, the section with my email has disappeared and I cant find a way to get it back. I think I have tried everything so really looking forward to some help. Ideally i would like to avoid using a 3rd party app since it used to work before.
Any Ideas ??*
Thanks Everyone !!

Fairly simple I hope.
Go to your phone:
1. Hit Menu Button (Bottom Left) > Settings
2. Device > Application Manager
3. All > Scroll Down To Internet
4. Then, Clear Cache > And Then Clear Data
5. Now Go Back To Settings > Personal > Accounts And Sync
6. Open The Google Account > Remove Account
7. Then Go Back To The Google Account > Add Account
8. Wait Till It Is Synced > Restart Phone
9. And Walla, When You Open Your Browser, The Bookmarks Should Sync!

ab

Thanks for the reply AB!!!.
Worked like a charm. Had to do it twice but the trick was not to open the browser before the restart. Now I've got the synced bookmarks.
Any idea why this happens though ??
Cheers

Not sure. It happened to me only once. Shouldn't happen again.
But if it does, you now know what to do!

Can't see all apps on google play website

So when I go to the market website and click on My Apps it only lists apps up to the 'M's... anything past that I can't see.
I use this page to re-install apps when changing devices / after resets.
Is there any way to see a listing of all of my apps?
Don't know if this helps, but if you install the newest play app (i posted the apk here somewhere), it has the same kinda page now (an all apps installed history), you could install from there?

Thanks, I will check that out! Although I think using a KB/Mouse on my PC would still be more convenient than finger-scrolling and tapping on the phone screen :/
At least that should get me access to everything I'm missing.
My suggestion is,
1. delete market data and cache
2. From settings > sync settings > select google deatails > remove account
3. reboot
4. create your google account again
5. from market, check it again.
Hope this work.
Question - are you using market unlocker?
He's having the problem with the online version of the market, on his computer, not the phone app.

My bad kingdazy.
I've just checked out to find the installed apps from PC.
It seems like there are two ways.
1. from the market home page > My Adnroid Apps (from there we can reinstall the apps) - alphabetical order
(this one shows the history even the apps are uninstalled, those are there)
2. Google account dashboard > Android Market > installed applications (most recent first)
So, if you compare these two lists and if you find anything missing, then you'd better to contact Google support team. If both are the same, maybe there're gonna be none who can help you.
My two cents.
The first list is missing everything after the M's...
The second list has them all though... I'll use that for a work-around for now
I'm having an issue with apps on sd not showing up after a reboot. I have to clear data to get them to show again. This new market is annoying.

disabling google auto-sign in in browser? (Jellybean)

I found some old threads about this, but the browser does not seem to have the menu options mentioned in them anymore...
I want to share my device with a parent to let them get used to it, but naturally must keep them locked away from my email and such...locking apps is easy enough, but the auto sign in option in browser I cannot find a way to disable beyond removing my account. I see in previous questions there is mention of an option for it under privacy settings in browser, but I do not see it now. I've tried all the immediately available options in settings in the old browser and chrome and see nothing. If there's a way I could disable it in either that would be sufficient!

remove your google account, re-enable it, and some options should pop up, something along the lines of "autosign in into google apps", don't check it.
at least, that's what it asks me everytime i have to factory reset and type into my account.
Didn't work for remove/readd, I'll check for option next wipe I do though and see if that'll work

You just need to sign out from the browser , next time when you'll start the browser it will not auto-sign-in again.
Ah yup that method will work for chrome. That'll give me a workable solution, thanks!

[Q] Imported Sim contacts all spread out

Well, i bit the bullet and purchased a Galaxy Nexus to upgrade from my Touch Pro 2.
Problem is im having a hell of a time importing my contacts from the old phone to the new. I got them on the Sim ok, and they Show up on android, problem is it split all of the numbers so i have 2, 3 or 4 of the same contact. It splits Home, Mobile, and Work numbers into individual contacts instead of merging them like they should be. You would think it would be smart enough to see the same name and think "oh, these are all the same person."
is there any way to merge them without having to manually edit each individual contact?
If I recall correctly, try going into gmail on your PC and look for your contacts. There's an option to merge the ones that repeat.
Or use the customize option on the phone: people > menu > contacts to display

Gallery annoyance.

Can anyone tell me how to set All Photos as the default album in the Gallery?
It's really annoying it defaults to timeline.
Also when trying to upload a picture on here I have to go through the editing option and choose to edit the photo in either gallery or photos apps.
Is there a way I can just get it to upload without having to go in and then come out of the editing app?
Why on earth you're using TIMELINE instead ALBUMS ?
I know how to select it manually. I want it to default to Albums. I remember on the M8 you could hide parts of the gallery you didn't want to see. It seems you can't with the M9.

I did not find any problem having ALBUMS set as permanent DEFAULT though.. Are you sure you have HTC M9 HIMA ?
are you too getting the facebook photos you save in the camera shot folder, inside the gallery application, and not in a specific "Facebook" album? I am finding this pretty annoying

Not sure I understood what you mean but in the app settings there is nothing related to the creation of album facebook related.
Anyway, thank you for trying.
OK. I realized what that stupid FB app is doing.
So, the problem is:
That FB saves its photos in the DCIM folder which is intended for HTC camera, and this eventually causes all those photos to pop up in Camera shots album..
Can that stupid FB to stack all its images in any other folder except DCIM though? Check the FB settings for that.
P.S. As a work around - something like "save FB photos on external sd card" option there?

Yeah, this is what is happening and unfortunately in the FB there is nothing I can change. With my previous Moto G this wasn't happening so I believe that is something going on with HTC gallery.
Anyway, nevermind

Unfortunately, there is nothing like that under settings-apps-facebook.
An easy solution would be installing an alternative gallery (like quickpic). I might consider that...
Thank you.
Sorry for late reply. Yes I had a HTC M9. I got it on 26Mar but returned it and swapped it for a Z3 on 31st. Too many bugs for my liking for now. I will wait a few months for the firmware to mature then get another M9 or M9+ (if one appears)
Pleased to learn you are content with Z3..

Somehow, I block this option (one I try to sent SMS on short number, I chose "NO and remember" or something like that) and aafter that I can not sent any message on any short number.
I think - this option is called Premium SMS.
I saw in some other phone models, it can be set or reset in Messages app settings, byt I have not this option in my phone.
Phone is LG G3 - D855, Android 6.0
I try tio sent mail to LG support, byt local technical support (Croatia and Serbia) - they dont know!!! ???
Thank you

I was deleting data, cash, force stop, tutn permissions off and on, reset app preferences, but noting help.
Mabye, i have to reset phone in factory default, but in this case I will lose all instaled applications and data and settings....
Any idea?
Thanks!
I'm sure I've seen a Setting for this somewhere around the phone -- try the Settings app, Phone and Messaging apps.
I don't have time to look for it now but I'm sure you'll find it.

I tryed to change:
Settings/Apps/Messaging/Storage/Clear cashe
Settings/Apps/Messaging/Storage/Clear data
Settings/Apps/Messaging/Permissions
Settings/Apps/Messaging/Force stop
I also tried:
Settings/Reset app preferences/Reset
And change everything in:
Messaging/Settings/Reset settings
Messaging/Settings/Text messages
Messaging/Settings/General settings
but still no work!
I dont find "Premium messages" anywhere.
Maybe it's a setting in your carrier settings? Do you have an app placed on your phone by your SIM card?

I said to look for the Setting in all the apps I listed, not to start clearing the cache.
The setting on Android 7.1.1 can be found in the Special Access settings for apps from the Settings menu.
So it's setup as a permission, as opposed to app setting, as was in previous versions of Android.
Just type SMS in the search of the app.

Yes in Android 6.0 the setting is in a different place but it is still somewhere around.
Just type SMS in the search field of the Settings app.
There is no point in reinstalling the app, you already cleared your cache which means there is a setting saved somewhere that is overriding the behaviour, reinstalling the app won't help in that case as said setting will still be there.

Sorry for the late answer. Seems like my memories of Android 6.0 are hazy and the menu is somewhere else as I mentioned.
Seems like quite a few people can't find it since the Setting is burried deeper than usual: https://www.google.bg/search?q=andr...ndroid-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
This links in particular seems to hold a good answer:

In earlier android you need to edit system app
Message services - there's a permissions section
(When viewing apps select show system apps in right hand corner)
I need to change mine but it's the newer version of android and the permission settings have moved ...still looking

Are you asking about Android 7.0?
Settings -> Apps -> Click the gear icon -> Special Access (it's under the Advanced tab at the bottom, not in App Permissions) -> Premium SMS Access
