I went to settings and clicked sync with Chrome book. I have chrome to phone installed and connected to the Xoom. Is there something else I have to do?

Chrome to phone has nothing to do with bookmark sync. Chrome to phone sends the URL of the site from your desktop to your tablet/phone independent of bookmarks.
I have Chrome to phone installed as well as bookmark sync enabled both in Chrome desktop and Xoom. Do you have the bookmark sync setup in the Chrome browser on your PC using the same account you are using on your Xoom?

before the xoom was released, i started shifting over to using chrome broswer.
i collected/exported all my bookmarks from various broswers (firefox/opera/safari/ie) and imported them all into the chrome.
when I got the XooM, i did a sync and now i have over 10 years worth of bookmarks.

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..

Stock browser not syncing with Chrome

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.

stock browser sync

So with the new update is rolling oit i figgerd, lets try sync my browser with google desktop version. On the older firmware versions it wasn't wieling. But now it i syncing only my maps i tried everything but can't seem to get the bookmarks insidecl a map to sync.... who els has these problems?
Use opera mobile and synch with that
I don't like opera, I prefer the stock browser, why isn't it just working arghhh....
Have you figured out to get it working yet? I'm using Firefox
Well sort of... It now syncd around 10% of my bookmarks, I deleted my bookmarks on Google Dashboard, synced my tablet, worked(duh). Then synced my desktop browser and 10 minutes later 10% synced to my tablet. I let it on all night but nothing happend!
Need help!
I Think i found the problem!
The bookmark names can't be to long, keep them short and it will sync it all
Nice catch! I will try that later
Oke now I am getting confused, it just synced 324 bookmarks, but the othere 7 aren't getting synced.
This is driving me nutch!

Chrome bookmarks sync?

Hello, for those devices that are running Gingerbread or prior, are there any methods which allow me to sync the bookmarks from my PC chrome browser or phones that have chrome with the device that doesn't have chrome? In other word, are there any way which allows me to sync my chrome broswer bookmarks with a non-chrome browser (e.g. stock gingerbread browser?). I've been searching for a while and I found some something like Chrome Sync Pro or CMarks but they do nothing I want. Thanks.
export and import manual:laugh:
I searched for it and i found 2 solutions:
1) install a fake version of Chrome created for gingerbred that should have the autosync. The problem is it is difficult to find the apk. I downloaded a version of this (I don't know if it was the right one) but the sync wasn't there.
2) install Dolphin on the phone and an extension for chrome on the pc. I tried that too but I can say that it doesn't work very good because after synchronizing the first time it does not synchronize anymore.
Someone has a better solution?
P.s. In Dolphin mini should be there the same sync but it doesn't work at all
import and export manually...is simple

How to transfer opera mini bookmarks from one android phone to another?

As the thread title says, does anyone know "How to transfer opera mini bookmarks from one android phone to another?"
Recently I've changed my android phone and I stick to my opera mini 7.6(.40234) browser and now I want to move opera mini bookmarks from the old phone to the new one. I've searched the internet and one of the ideas was to copy the files within the "/data/data/com.opera.mini.android/files/" from the old phone to the new one but it wasn't any good.
Does anyone now how to solve the bookmarks transfer?
quick idea: you should able to use "opera link" to sync all bookmark across your device.

Thank you baudbox, I've tried this one and I have the following situation.
Although I'm using Firefox on my desktop PC, I've installed Opera browser for PC just for this sole purpose. To see how it works, for a test, I've logged in the new phone using opera link and my desktop using Opera browser (no bookmarks by default). The result was the only bookmark it was saved on the new phone was deleted. It seems that the phone's bookmarks were sync to the PC's, meaning the only phone bookmark being erased. I didn't see any way of choosing what to sync according to a selected device.
I don't know how opera link works but I supposed the phone bookmarks were supposed to get copied to PC and then connect the other phone and sync it with PC's bookmarks, using the desktop PC as a "middleman". I'm afraid that if I try to sync the old phone using opera link will erase all the bookmarks in it.
I don't see any feature from operalink screenshoot where you can choose a pull or push to opera servers. So guessing you can't
If you haven't already checked it, take a look at
http://www.opera.com/help/tutorials/link/
May be you will find some explanations
Thank you very much baudbox! :good:
