Bookmarks to SD app no longer works - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hello all. Please care with me as Im a newb and am unsure if Im even posting in the right place! I've recently rooted my sprint GS2 and have been enjoying all that i can do with it now. But hue come across a problem and Im not even sure if its related to my rooting the phone or not. I've recently tried to use my "bookmarks to SD" app and found that it goes through the motion but nothing saves. I check the dolphin browser export box then export and it says that it saved my bookmarks but when i go to import then into my stock browser i get nothing. If i try to export from my stock browser it works fine. Plus, i can no longer use the sync option with Google. It tells me that my login attempt failed even though i used the correct information and was on my home Wifi connection. My end goal is to be able to import my bookmarks to my tablet. I simply can't find any other way to do this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

cant log in to facebook

hey, for some reason i cant log in to facebook using pocket IE. any ideas why? is there some other browser i can use that would work? if so, how do i get it? thanks

I assume you mean the mobile version of it. It used to work. No idea why it stopped. I just go to the standard version now. PITA. Maybe the carrier?

Nope, its Internet Explorer. Bookmark this link and you should be good to go...
http://www.facebook.com/login.php
If that does not work. Go on your PC and login. Use the sub-link that is placed before facebook.com and replace the www above with it.

U can also clear ur history and temporary internet files. And make sure u get the security warning. Once u get it, ur good to go. At first i thought it was Gmail but it seems its a IE thing.
edit: It is a gmail thing. At least for me. Scroll to bottom and click "view in HTML" and u'll get security warning.
loggin into facebook is the easy part, but can you post on walls? I've had no luck doing that
The mobile version of the site is far better.
http://m.facebook.com
Mobile Facebook is great. I just got on it today because they recently did a redesign which is making it a pain to view in Pocket IE.
I also have problems logging into m.facebook.com but I usually get to the login screen and then use the link at the bottom of the page to do a standard login. The only thing that annoys me is that if I use my P990i instead I stay permanantly logged in on it, whereas my MDA Mail (UK Spec) keeps on logging me out grrr.
If you're having trouble getting the login at m.facebook.com to work, try this link instead:
http://m.facebook.com/login.php?http&next=http://m.facebook.com/home.php
Bookmark that, and you'll be good to go. It basically forces you to the HTML login page instead of the WAP login, but keeps you on the mobile interface to save data.

Can no longer upload to Picasa! Help!

I have had my HTC Desire (stock 2.1-update1 ROM) for a couple of months now and I'm enjoying all it's features. Especially the integrated Picasa tool. Take a photo, select share, then select Picasa and off you go. Great. Until recently.
Cannot find anyone else with this problem, so hoping someone has some ideas.
When I select the Picasa option for sharing, it brings up the usual Picasa upload options page that I am used to only very briefly (talking 0.5 seconds here) then quickly jumps to a screen asking me to create a google account!!! This is despite my phone sync'd perfectly with my Google account. E-mails pushing though, videos upload to youtube just fine. No sync errors at all.
OK I thought, I'll just sign back in with my existing Google account. Except when I do this, it spends a couple of minutes "signing in" only to then fail telling me that I do not have a network connection! This is despite trying my phone connected to wi-fi both at home, in my office, and whilst using 3G in strong signal area.
I think this all started after I accepted an OTA update taking my software number to 1.21.405.2. but I can't be certain as it was a week or so after updating before I noticed the problem.
I have Picasa Tool app installed, but personally I think its an ugly, badly laid out mess even though it does seem to work. I would rather fix what has happened to stop my phone uploading to Picasa directly.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, can't help you with this but very interested as I have exactly the same issue. Also, as a google engined phone, why on earth have they made flikr & fb instantly available but not picasa You're right about the picasa tool pro too, functional but aesthetically it leaves a lot to be desired...see what I did there...
I have never used Picasa. But like 2 hours ago, I said why not and wanted to use it. To be greeted with the same problem. The account is active (gmail syncs without problem), everything goes ok... but it doesn't work.
Factory reset fixed it. OK, but not sure what I did to break it in the first place! Oh well.
It didn't work for me either. Yesterday I went from MCR r18 to stock Sense > r17 > r19 > r17 > r18. Suddenly, it got fixed.
You should make sure you actually have a picasa web account, and that you've uploaded at least one photo to it.

browser crashes when i add a bookmark

the clue is in the title...any time i try to add a bookmark in browser it crashes and i get the following error:
The application Browser (process com.andorid.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have cleared all caches and data and whatnot but the problem keeps coming back. I'm using OpenDesire 3.1.0.
Try a different ROM perhaps?
It might be the rom. Have you reported it to the dev?
i figured it was most likely a rom-side issue but just wanted to check. i just got my first android device so the only other rom i have tried so far is leedroid which uses the HTC browser and that works fine.
any suggestions for other precautions i should take before reporting a problem with the rom?

I got the same error message yesterday when trying to access the bookmark when I'm on the web via the menu setting. I am using the t mobile stock android 1.15.110.11, and the onboard browser, I don't know what's going on. It was working perfectly before. I've even tried loading the bookmark widget onto the home screen and it' telling me that there are no bookmarks. So i logged onto the web and added a bookmark, which i was able to do, but when i tried to go into the bookmark, it came up with the same error message. As a last resort, I removed the battery and rebooted the phone, but to no avail. If you find a solution, please let me know

i noticed that if you open the history menu rather than the bookmarks menu, and then add the bookmark by highlighting the star on the history menu, you can add your bookmarks without the browser crashing. not an ideal solution but it works.

Is there a way to back-up just the local bookmarks on the Galaxy Nexus?

Wondering if there is a way to back the local bookmarks on the galaxy nexus.
I don't like syncing my Google acct browser settings since the way I have everything set up on my desktop version of Chrome doesn't translate that well onto my phone. However I'd still like to keep the bookmarks I set on my phone saved somehow so I can restore them if I flash a ROM or something.
If anyone knows a good method to do this, I'd appreciate any ideas.
Install 'Bookmark Sort & Backup' from the market.

OFF TOPIC - DESKTOP Chrome is acting strange

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.
