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.

Hey guys!
Just wondering does anybody have any of the google apps.. i would like to use gmail, calendar and other google apps.. but it wont let me download the apps.. does any one know why?
or even better if any body has the .cab files for google apps, would be much appreciated!!
thank you
indeed this would be useful, any help?
Maybe I am wrong, but as far as I know Google apps are not installed on your PDA. You access them thru your browser or thru Active Sync and your standard email account.
I get my email from gmail, sync my calender and contacts with google thru Active Sync as if I access a Exchange Server.

Google do offer some applications that you can install on your PDA. There was a gMail client that they were promoting for a while. There is also a synchronisation application that works between gmail contacts and the contacts on your phone (I am sure that you can Google these applications )
I don't think that the client was successful as other clients like Fring allow you to connect to multiple IM systems.
Try with IE mobile, it worked fine for me...
Maybe google website doesn't recognize the D2 Opera browser as a Windows Mobile browser
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?
Regards
Faraz Azhar
it will be in your Google account sync settings

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.
Sorry for possibly being a noob, but after rooting and upgrading my TF700 to CleanROM (now on 3.2.2) I notice that I no longer have access to my work calendar, running on a Zimbra server.
I also have a stock Samsung Galaxy Note, and on both devices I have set up MS Exchange ActiveSync accounts with correct credentials.
But while on the GNote I can see the work calendar and do realtime sync, nothing appears on the TF700 (but under Settings, Accounts, Corporate, it seems that it syncs the Calendar without any errors (it says "Last synced 14/02/2013 15:44").
Should I just try to remove and add the account again, play with the credentials, or is there a known bug somewhere related to this?
Thanks,
Christopher
Some of my newer contacts are not synching with either my Google Contacts or my Outlook.com contacts. I'm on a Nexus 5 running Android 5.1.
I use Outlok.com for my primary repository for contacts and calendars, however I use GSyncit add-on for MS Outlook (desktop) to sync my desktop Outlook contacts and calendars to Google. This way I can use Outlook.com or Google Calendar / GMail to access/share my calendar and access contacts depending on the situation.
Everything is working fine on the desktop end so that is irrelevant to this problem (so probably shouldn't even have wrote the above paragraph - but just in case.)
I see there is a new Google Contacts app on the phone and on the web. I noticed this when I clicked on the People app and it said the app was missing. When I go to the web version of Google Contacts via my Google account, there are no contacts there! All my contacts are still in Gmail though of course.
I see that when I attempt to edit an older contact on the phone, it first prompts me with which Google account I want to sync with. I don't need to sync my phone contacts directly with Google, I just want to sync with Outlook.com -> Outlook -> Google (via GSyncit) but I suppose it wouldn't cause a problem if I just had the phone sync to both accounts (probably will then need to disable GSyncit contact sync between Outlook desktop and Google).
What is weird is that it is like Google made the mistake of launching this new contacts app, but there's no notice or migration instructions on the changes with the new app. I just happend to discover something was "unhooked" by trying to edit a contact! I just discovered the new Contacts app on the web by Googling, Google Contacts. I'm technically saavy and somewhat of an Android Wonk, and am surprised this is all a surprise!
Do I have to go try to edit every single contact on the mobile Contacts app now to select which Google account it syncs with? I HOPE NOT!
At the risk of appearing dumb I'm leaving my original post for background. It appears this is (not surprisingly) all a Microsoft issue. When I went into the Outlook.com app on my phone, when you click on the Contacts and Calendars Sync setting, nothing happens! Come to find out this app is no longer on the play store. It appears to have been replaced earlier this year by the Microsoft Outlook Preview. Installed that app, and it doesn't and an account type to the phone! So it appears, unlike the Outlook.com app, it won't sync calendars and contacts with the native Android calendar and contacts app. It's as if Microsoft is trying to make you use their new app instead of the stock Android apps that just sync with the Outlook.com account? Please say this isn't so!

Microsoft confirmed.
Your question on Microsoft Community has received a reply from Tushar Tiwari.
Title: How To Sync Contacts & Calendars with Native Android Phone Apps?

Hi,
Unfortunately , by design, it is not yet possible to sync your Android phone contacts to your Outlook.com account.
Note: At the moment, you can only sync Outlook.com contacts to your android phone.
Please provide your suggestions/opinion as a feedback to the development team. To do this, click on the gear icon on the top right corner of Outlook.com homepage and select 'feedback' from the dropdown menu.
Hope this information is helpful.

However, this isn't that big of a deal as I come to find out, even though there is no longer an Outlook.com account type on the phone any more, you can use the Exchange account type and use server address: s.outlook.com and then you can sync everything. Why the MS Tech didn't point this out it baffling.
(big middle finger for you Microsoft)
Hi, I really want to use stock browser on my S6, but my bookmarks wont synchronize with Samsung account. I can see all of my bookmarks in Chrome browser, it synchronizes with Google account fine. I tried all settings, all syncs ended with no errors for both Google and Samsung account, but no bookmarks are imported to stock browser under Samsung account folder. There ar lots of threads in Internet, but without working solutions. Thanx!
