Hi guys, I'm having problem Syncing Bookmark between my GTab 7.7 P6800 with SkyHigh 3.6 and Chrome for Windows.
The tab just can't sync it, and it's quite annoying... The fact is that sync bookmarks works like a charm with Chrome for Android, but nothing at all with the stock browser... I would use chrome, but I really need flash for browsing
I checked on settings/account and sync/google account and i found the source of the problem: it seems that the sync function has stop working, in fact there's a "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly". But the "shortly" has last a moth now!!!
I've tried to delete the google account and log in again, but still not working... So I tought it was a chrome for windows problem, I whent to google dashboard and deleted the sync setting from there... but still not working.
The problem occur even with my Galaxy Nexus!!!
So I'm guessing that the problem is not on the GTab, but in my google account...
This is simple to fix.
Go to your sync settings page. Click on menu button and select "remove account".
Then go back, and "add account".
So basically you need to remove your account, then re-sign-in.

I have the At&t Captivate, but it looks like this is an issue that could stretch across all Galaxy S phones. A quick Google search will bring up quite a few posts/threads on Samsung's Facebook page about it too.
I use the built-in SNS sync for Facebook, which is what Samsung uses under the default Android Account settings.
I've flashed a few ROMs, and at some point (I think it was after trying some of the I9000 ROMs), my Facebook wouldn't sync my contacts anymore. I get the message "sync is currently experiencing problems. try again later".
The things I've tried:
-Flash back to stock & other ROMs
-Clear all cache data in CWM
-Delete SNS Account data under Application Settings
-Delete Samsung Mobile from my applications on Facebook
-Changing my Facebook password
-Tried logging in with someone else's Facebook account, same error with their's
The Android Facebook app loads up fine, but with Samsung, it doesn't sync contacts, it forces you to use SNS for that.
Under Contacts, if I go to the Activity tab, I can see the news feed, but it still errors out and won't pull any contacts over.
Any other suggestions?
Facebook changed how it does authentication, guessing samsung hasnt updated to handle that yet.
Odd that mine works fine. Only time I have seen problems is if I don't log into google account first after flashing. Just flashed to andromeda and everything synced fine.
After you've signed into facebook (settings->accounts) try going into the contact app itself and press the menu button.
2 options might work.
1. "sync sns data"
2. "get friends"
Hope this helps

I had Google setup since its required for the Market, but I didn't sync anything with it (I use Exchange), so just to try it, I checked for it to sync contacts and tried again and still got the error.

I've tried that too, and it just seems to initiate the same SNS Sync and errors out.

I'm not sure about that since some people seem to have no problems with it. I also tried someone else's Facebook account just to make sure it wasn't a setting in mine, and her's didn't work either.
My bookmarks won't sync from my PC to transformer. Is this a known problem if so is there a known fix/workaround ?
Known issues, minor workaround if you have less than a 100 bookmarks:

I had the same problem on my Asus Transformer 3.2,but found the solution. From your home screen.go to settings/manage applications /all/browser then clear data.go back to the browser and it should automatically sign you back into your gmail account. Then go to your browser settings/ general / sync to chrome. In a few minutes they should be back. Also make sure your gmail account/browser are in autosync in settings/accounts and sync. This worked for me and if this helps you please let me know.

Funny thing is mine have not been syncing either.. Didn't really care though but I noticed it hadn't been working. Funny thing is I didn't do anything except reboot my tablet yesterday and now they sync. I made no other changes to the device at all.
I've been unsuccessfully trying to sync my Chrome bookmarks with the GT 7+ for the past week. I enabled the sync, tried clearing caches and force closing both bookmark sync and browser, rebooting, etc... Not a single bookmark. Looking under accounts, it shows last sync date as my initial date I tried, and has the in-progress circle that I can't get rid of.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a ton of bookmarks and it would be a PITA to have to set them up manually...
I'm having this same problem and have yet to have found a remedy. Which is unfortunate since it would make things quite easy
I have the same problem, but eventually it will sync a few bookmark from your Google Account.
Same problem - -"
1st time i got some folder in my goggle account before force close.
i have tried set default and do it again, but 2nd time unfortunately nothing happen except force close - -"
Any Idea?
has anyone figured this out? I bought the tab today and everything has been perfect except the bookmarks refuse to sync
so i was googling around to find more information about this, apparently this is what we can do http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/galaxy-nexus-help/631-sync-browser-fail.html
There seems to be a data error. If you're getting the exclamation mark do the following.
Untick Browser Sync on your GN and close the browser.
Go to Google Dashboard (google.com/dashboard)
Scroll down to Chrome and 'Stop sync and delete Data'. Fresh the window after a few minutes to make sure it says there is not data/empty.
Go to Chrome and login for sync. Wait a few minutes then go back to Google Dashboard. See if the sync got picked up.
If so, go back to Browser Sync and tick the box. Open op the browser app and there should be a pop up that shows your Gmail account is logging in/syncing and the folders should appear slowly.

honestly I have not got it to work yet, but if you guys figure it out, let me know how
Syncing on Firefox
I am using the sync with firefox and it is working great. I actually have Waterfox on my laptop so I can run 64-bit, but firefox on my GT 7+ is working great, and pics up all synced bookmarks and even open tabs on my laptop.
I enabled bookmark syncing yesterday evening; it finally completed about 24hr later. My PC Chrome bookmarks first showed up on the tablet this morning, and just now the tablet's browser bookmarks showed up in my PC Chrome browser.
I have an Omnia W which I updated a couple of days ago. But now I noticed that the GoogleMail App that came pre-installed crashes whenever I press on it. It just shows a loading sign and throws me back to the launcher/home-sreen.
Also, I can't even access the "email+accounts" option from the settings menu. It also has the same problem. When I press on it first displays a black screen and then comes back to the home-screen. Although the internet runs fine and i can also use my facebook account through the phone.
Has anyone else faced this problem before? If yes, please reply. And if no, then can anyone suggest a possible solution for this asap.
My Gmail inbox is working just fine. By the way, "pre-installed app" is a bit inaccurate; it's just the built-in Outlook functionality of WP7, which will create a new link (going to the Inbox) for any email account you add to the phone (including Google).
All that said, if your Gmail "app" isn't working correctly (and it sounds like it's not just your Gmail, but the whole Google account on your phone) then the first thing you should do is try to sign into Google / Gmail through a web browser (on the phone or on the PC) to make sure your account is working. If so, and you still can't access your Google account on the phone after a day or two of waiting, you may just need to hard-reset the phone.
i am having this problem in my nexus 5 with kit kat 4.4.4
all my appointments just vanished and i do not know why. when i try to sync it says that sync is currently experiencing problems and that it will be back shortly.
it is like that since 29 July. i already deleted the calendar updates, cleared cache, cleared data and no luck. i can see all my appointments in my browser but my calendar app is empty.
any tips?

As far as I remember it can be related to bad contacts. Several similar situations (and solutions) can be easily found on Google.
I have tried but no luck.
At first, all my appointments disappeared from my mobile phone even when they are still active when i access them from my web browser. and everytime i made a sync (from the google account menu of the mobile phone) the calendar would not sync and it said that it was a problem related with google servers.
i left it alone for some days but thought it was strange for google to have the servers with problems for so many days. after some research i tried to clear cache, clear data, disable calendar and enable it back again.
this did not help me either. but from a clean installation, i tried to add my account again (before updating to the newer version) and i wasn't allowed to do it. after updating to the newer version, i still cannot sync it. now, from the google account menu of the mobile phone, i do not have the option to choose calendar as it is not there anymore. i have all the other options like chrome, contacts, drive, etc but nothing related to calendar.
i really need to make it sync as part of my life is related with appointments and calendar really helps in that.
I also tried to create new appointments all over again but when i try to do so, the calendar app just stands there with a little circle that never stops rotating.
i am using kitkat 4.4.4.
i hope to have some help as i have tried a lot of options but nothing solved my problem.
