How to SYNC internet bookmark with gmail/google
Anybody knows how to do this ?
My idea is that I have some internet bookmarks on my device, and I want these automatically synched with my google/gmail account.
So if I flash my Flyer and make a full wipe , I want my internet bookmarks automatically uploaded into my Flyer just like my contacts would.
Any ideas or tips ?

The 2 ways that i have done this so far are either use opera browser for everything and use the sync on that (works ok actually) or use Dolphin browser and the dolphin bookmarks to sd app to sync from gmail account (not automatic).
You would of thought with it been Android and Google they would of made it like the Google Chrome browser so that everything is synced with your account.
In your favourites of IE on your PC, make a new folder named as "HTC bookmarks"
Add in the sites you want to bookmark in this folder.. sync using HTC sync.. it will automatically put all on the phone and add from the phone to the IE..
I've recently switched browsers over to Chrome, seeing as my mobile is Android and now I've got a Transformer too.
I've set the TF's stock browser to sync with Chrome and when I go to Google in the browser, it displays my googlemail account confirming I'm logged in, same with my Chrome browser on my PC.
However, I've deleted all the pre-installed bookmarks, told it to sync with Chrome, but nothing happens! I notice it's set to sync to gmail in chrome - not googlemail - but as far as I know, it's supposed to be seamless between the two domains isn't it?
I can't see how to change my account over to gmail from googlemail to see if it IS that causing the problem either...
Any ideas please?
Thanks for any help if you can offer me some
My bookmark sync doesn't work either.
I've read elsewhere they changed db format on google's end back in July and it broke mobile bookmark sync - couls be FUD but I can't get it to sync with a brand new account let alone my primary one so it's hard to say.
I have my Samsung Focus S set to sync calendar appointments from my Google calendar ONLY (all my other calendars on the phone that can be turned on or off, i.e. Windows Live Calendar, Windows Live Birthday Calendar, Windows Live US Holidays, etc, are turned OFF), yet I have SOME appointments or events that appear on my Google calendar that just do NOT sync to my phone! Most do, but there are appointments on my Google calendar that just will not show-up on my WP calendar. Specifically, I have an event that I created in Outlook (I use Google calendar sync to copy all my Outlook appointments to my Google calendar, via a one-way Outlook to Google calendar sync) on December 26th, 2011, and it just will NOT show-up on the calendar on my phone! I recreated it in Outlook (it then showed-up twice on 12/26 in my Google calendar), and I actually created it in my Google calendar, without it being synced from Outlook, and it STILL won't show-up on the phone's calendar. I created it on my phone, and it duplicated itself on my Google calendar (showed-up as a seperate event from the original)!
Why won't certain appointments/events show-up in my phone's calendar when they are clearly showing-up in my Google calendar?!! As I said, MOST appointments/events from my Google calendar show-up in my phone's calendar, but not all.
Anybody have this issue, or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Dennis
having same problem driving me nuts
I have read and read can't find a fix
workaround/fix
I found a way to enable this, I had to go to m.google.com/sync to enable it. But the kicker is our phones aren't able to access the page needed. I had to use my fiance iphone and login and enable the calendar. So going forward you have to use another mobile device.
You don't have to use a mobile device at all; just spoof your User-Agent string in your browser. Google web-programming fail (you'd think they wouldn't suck at that...).

O.K., this might be a stupid question, but what does "spoof your User-Agent string in your browser" mean?
Dennis
I think he means the workaround, where you use (for example) the safari browser on a desktop pc, configure it to identify itself as the iphone's browser and then go to m.google.com/sync to setup the syncing of multiple calendars.
This was necessary, because it was not possible to do this with the internet explorer on your windows phone. Yet as far as I know, this is workaround is no longer necessary.
User-agent: Any user-driven client of a network server (so, for example, a web browser).
User-agent string (UAS): A bit of text that identifies the user-agent to the server. Theoretically allows distinguishing between browsers easily.
Spoof the user-agent string: Configure the browser to send a different user-agent string than normal. All major browsers can do this now, as far as I know. On WP7, there are only two user-agent string possible with the built-in browser, though - the default "mobile" one and the "desktop" one (the latter being very similar to the UAS of IE9 on the PC).
If you send the UAS of mobile Safari, Google will give you access to the features (such as multiple calendars) that it offers to iOS users.
What is sync internet under the google account settings?
It's for syncing your browser bookmarks.
Hello
I'm trying to figure out how to use the built-in web browser on my Android 4.0.3 tablet (Ainol Novo 7 Advanced II). As per the internet my Chrome bookmarks should be available on it. And I should be able to add bookmarks to my Chrome using Gmail account.
The adding bookmark feature in my tablet is only showing me Local account. And there is no way to make it show my Gmail account even though my device is synced up with my Gmail account, also in market and etc. places.
How do I make it available there?

I'm attaching another screenshot. The only few thins I see inside my gmail's sync settings are calendar, contacts, gmail, and the two software I recently installed Google Current and Google Chrome Beta. I checked these settings even prior to installing these two software, I couldn't see anything that would show that the default browser's bookmarks are being synced.
The only way for me to get my gmail sync folder in the bookmarks was to completely reset all the browser settings and data. (settings->application->internet-> delete cache and data). Then resync the bookmarks by going to sync+accounts in settings.
Finally the folder of my gmail account was visible in my bookmarks.
Does anyone know how to change my default bookmark storing-folder? Whenever I try to add a bookmark I have to change the folder manually to my gmail folder - quite annoying.
