Google Chrome bookmarks not syncing properly - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed yesterday that my chrome bookmarks aren't syncing properly. I can see my individual bookmarks just fine but my folders aren't showing up at all on my phone. I googled this issue and others across multiple platforms are having the same issue. Anyone else? Any known fixes? It is more than mildly annoying.

Are you running Chrome beta or regular Chrome? If this is across multiple platforms it is Google's fault and I am sure they are aware of it. Did any post offer solutions?

I'm using standard chrome. I saw a post that offered one but it involved exporting and copying and pasting, not really a solution.

Silly q but did you check if sync is on for your phone chrome? Settings - your account name - sync? My bookmarks are stunned from desktop, tablet, and phone.

Yes, it is enabled properly.

Here's another silly question, You're using a Chrome browser on all of your devices, right?

Yes, I did some more Googling and found this. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=348385
Apparently it is a known issue.

(Q) Calendar sync quadrupled events

Is anyone else having this issue? I only use one calendar and for some reason all my events are multiplied by 4 and I just have a feeling it's going to get worse. Does anyone have a fix for this. Running fully stocked.

Google calendar?

Have the same thing going on with my work email, removing the account and readding it fixes it for a couple hours then it does it again. Also my contacts are multiplying.

Damn! Just looked at my contacts. Not good. It's almost like a mirror effect going on. I have a bad feeling it's just going to keep doubling until I have no room. I wonder if backup assistance is causing the problem?

I'm not using backup assistant, figured it was happening to me from a couple dirty flashes, but if you are running stock then that's not the case.

I had a similar problem on my Incredible because I have multiple Google accounts that have access to each other's calendars, so it would show all my events 2 and 3 times. Check your calendar settings and make sure it only shows one occurrence for each calendar name. Hope that helps.

I've been looking for a setting option like that for the last hour. Are you sure it exists on this phone? If so, I'd be grateful for your direction.
I deleted my corporate email and added it again. I'm no longer syncing contacts that's for sure.

There are 2 places to look...
First, go under settings -> Accounts and sync. Check each account to see if "Sync Calendar" is checked.
Second, at the top of the calendar app main screen, hit the "Calendars" button. This will give you a list of available calendars to display. Mine has:
My Calendar = checked
My Tasks = checked
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked) and US holidays (unchecked)
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked), [email protected] (UNchecked), and US holidays (unchecked)
Show birthday with an arrow to expand showing "Contacts' birthdays" which is checked.
I left my other gmail accounts off this phone since I check them enough from work.
The problem I ran into on my Inc was from having my badseed767 calendar checked on 3 different accounts. Once I unchecked it on the extra accounts, it only showed up once.
Hope this helps.
No, but I appreciate the attempt. I was hoping there really was a way to ignore "same name" events. I had found the calendars menu and made sure only one of each account was checked and it was still multiplying everything. Then again it might have been too late since the events already multiplied. So this is what I did.
Deleted the email account. Joined all my contacts that could be combined. Setup the corporate email again and only synced the calendar and email. Went into calendar as you suggested above and made sure that only one corporate email was checked, then synced. So far no duplicates.

Sounds positive. I'm curious, do you have the Google sync thing running on a pc that syncs outlook to Google? Also, can you give us so insight on the exchange server? Curious if those having issues are imapi or pop3 configured etc.

Well... I honestly don't know. I'm new to Samsung/TWiz phones for the most part and I'm still trying to find my way around through all the settings.
As for Google being synced to Outlook, no, not intentionally at least. The only syncing I've done with Google has been on my phones. Hell, if I didn't have a phone, I'd never even look at gmail.
If I was on my HTC phone, I'd be able to answer your question on the server. Is there a way for me to see that somewhere in the settings? Haven't found it yet. If not, I'll try setting my phone up on my wife's phone(my old Rezound). However, I love to know where I can find that if it's an option.
EDIT: I can't find your answer. It's a corporate email if that helps.

Well, my plan didn't work. Events doubled. This is starting to drive me crazy!

Email.apk and exchange folders on 4.2.1

Hi all,
I'm using Paranoidandroid 4.2.1 on Nexus and experiencing no folder sync/browsing with exchange accounts.
Comparing the current version to older ones the arrow for folder browsing has disappeared.
Has Anyone solved it?
I searched a lot but didn't understand if it's a bug or something else.
Thanks

Same for me! Realy missing the email.apk and exchange connectivity (both calendar and mail)!
Using Rufdroid 1.2.0 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817897 ), als based on 4.2.1
Great ROM but email is missing (gmail cannot connect to exchange server).
Hope someone have a working email.apk for 4.2.1
I solved just by selecting sync period to the longest one. Magically folders appeared right!!!

I'm wrong, tried to factory reset the phone and after set the exchange account, folders don't sync again!
Magically folders appeared after a long time I set the account... just after some hour of (maybe) frequent syncs.

chrome bookmarks not syncing

Just got my nex5 yesterday.
I am signed in and all settings including the ones within the chrome app are set to sync.
The problem is that all my bookmarks are not showing up on my n5.
They work just fine on my Gnex and Nex7 and also the desktop browser...
The only thing I can think of is that the chrome app on the n5 is a higher version number than the one on the play store.
If I recall it is 30.0.1599.105 on the nex5 and 30.0.1599.92 on the gnex.
Anyone else experiencing this? This is a major issue for me as I use my bookmarks a lot
Nobody else has this issue? Is everyone's phone running the same version of chrome?

I had the issue so I went into my google account, 'un-synced' chrome, waited a minute, re-synced and bookmarks showed up after a minute or less. Hope this helps
I'm experiencing this is as well... I haven't tried hobakill's solution yet though.
I did try that, I will try again... I wonder what's causing it?

Nexus 4/5 browser sync?

Figured it out, del please
Trying to upload a photo but it doesn't seem to be working..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
i use the PA gapps (aosp browser and browser sync zips) and all 3 of my devices (nexus 5, nexus 7 and PC) have sync'd bookmarks. i dont manually sync anything. its automatic.
I don't wanna change anything I'm happy how it is. I'd just like to know how to sync it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure if you use chrome it syncs tabs and bookmarks across all devices because your bookmarks are technically stored on the cloud.

Google all access "thumbs-up" playlist gone

Had anyone else experienced that the thumbs up playlist is completely gone? Mine has been gone for a few months now, and google claims they are working on a solution but I don't trust em. I am able to view the thumbs up playlist via the desktop web site, but not through the mobile app
