I was having the same problem as you. Go to Accounts & Sync then Google, and make sure Internet sync is checked. Mine wasn't. Once I checked it, bookmarks started syncing!
I'm also using the AOSP browser, which is the best one out of them all.

Anyone know if HTC made their own bookmark widget to go with this browser? Not exactly digging the 4 column deal on the AOSP one that comes with it.

It should, does it not work? I haven't tested flash yet but on the menu there's an "enable flash plugin" option so it should work...

You should add FM radio as well. I added it and it works flawless.

I can also verify that flash isn't working with this browser. It is working with chrome.

I might be completely missing a setting here but are you referring to turning off Conversation View in General Settings? If so, I already have that off in my Gmail and it still shows up as threaded in my Gmail App.
There's no need to do any pushing or renaming. Just install the apk as you would with any other and it will ask if you want to update it over the current one.

[HOW-TO] JellyBean - Media storage / Battery drain fix. [11/6/2012]

So here is what I found by trying to stop battery drain caused by the media storage+heating etc. I Of course can't guarantee this working for everybody but I tried this with 2-different JellyBean ROM's twice and it worked all 4 times on my device :victory:
This will have a few Reboots so bare with me. (because I believe reboots make a difference)
For all of you who have a JellyBean ROM already installed and have the battery drain skip to Step.8
1. Download your JellyBean ROM of choice
2. Place on SD card
3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP of your current ROM
4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
5. Select ROM of choice from the SD card (Most ROM's these days come with an Aroma-Installer so remember what you picked to be installed and what not.)
6. Boot device
7. Set up the phone and let it restore all apps. Set everything you will use (facebook, e-mail, flipboard etc) -then ReBoot
8. I used TitaniumBackup and removed "Media Storage" and I also removed "Downloads 4.1.1"
9. ReBoot into Recovery & wipe cache and dalvik cache
10.Dirty-Flash your ROM of choice which you chose @ Step.5 and chose the same features if possible.
11.Install your prefered Kernel optional (I personally chose Ktoosez 3.0.49 just because it gave me good battery life)
12.Wipe cache and dalvik the last time and also fix permissions.
13.ReBoot the last time and enjoy!
Hope this was helpful and will work for most of you early JellyBean users. :fingers-crossed:

Are you all letting the media storage run for a few hours before trying this? Mine ran for like 2 hours on the charger with power save on, then it started deepsleep and has been fine sense.
The reason. I believe, it makes clips for all your videos that play in thumbnail view in the gallery, and indexes and thumbnail all your pictures. It's normal

When you installed CR 4.0 what items did you select? I think it may have to do with what apps are installed more then anything else.
Basically, install the bare minimum and see if you still have problems. Maybe it is something is getting installed in your process that is causing the problem.
I would leave off "adfree" for sure as well as anything else that effects media.
Launcher: only install one launcher(TW. If you want to add apex or Nova do it from the market after. I am using Nova but from the market.
Samsung Apps: left them all off.
You can always add on after you fix the issue.

If youve already got custom recovery then just flash a JB Rom...Just don't forget the boot.img if your bootloader needs it. If you flash a JB and don't like it you can always just restore your backup.

I'm currently running CM10 but I'm having technical issues with the ROM which is why I'm looking to install 4.1 from HTC.
I've read a few posts on sites with folks that have installed this bean, that their WiFi is not working properly.
So if you're looking for a fix all, might want to keep waiting til the devs here work their magic. Just pointing that out.

I'm one of those "folks".
I can connect to my network and access the settings pages for my router and access point, but I can't access the internet through any apps, including gmail, browser and speedtest.net app. Data works fine, I can connect through Fido LTE and everything works great. I tried deleting the cache partition via the stock recovery and that didn't work, so I'm backing up my stuff right now to try a full wipe.
I'll post an update after the wipe!
Side note: there are a few improvements, like updated keyboard, direct tabs button in browser, that are very welcome, so hopefully the wi-fi thing is an easy fix!
Interesting. Updating now. I hope if I have Wifi issues that an OTA fix is quick to come.
I agree with it should be a quick fix, once HTC clues up and in over it.

Wi-Fi is working now after a factory reset.
Sucks I had to do it but it's better than no Wi-Fi! I know it's not unusual to require a reset after an update, but it is unusual that in the update notes it said you won't lose your files, which lead me to believe a reset wouldn't be required :-/
YMMV, so you might want to wait a few days before doing the upgrade, and if you can't make a backup, at least back up your "SD Card" in case you have to do a factory reset like I did!

Ohh well, we'll have to wait until the official Facebook Home app launches....
Apparently, facebook disabled access to the leak apk that's why we're having an error logging it. that info came from modaco.
If you REALLY want to give Facebook Home a try, change your ro.product.model value to MystUL in build.prop, reboot and then install everything.

I've already gone in with root Explorer and deleted all the Verizon apps except for Visual voice mail, all the Amazon apps and some miscellaneous HTC apps. Haven't had a problem. Titanium backup works to uninstall them too but I'm not sure if it gets the .odex files too so I just use root exploder.

Yeah I would assume so. That's just one less application that I'm not using that doesn't have to be loaded and stored in the davlik cache on boot. Odex files are just code from an apk that is loaded in the davlik cache on boot up for loading that app quicker, so the DVM just has one less app to load. If I don't plan on every using that app again than I don't see why it would hurt.

I remember freezing over 100 bloatware apps from my Galaxy S4, I want to say it was 103 in total. If someone has a list of everything that is safe to delete, I'm interested as well.
Thanks

Now that we have full root, has anyone determined what bloatware can be safely removed? I'm tempted to just start. Got a backup, so what could it hurt.

Hi, Can you tell me where is all this bloatware are located in the phone directory?
Because i have tried to uninstall them with Rom Tool Box Lite with no success.
Will deleting those Verizon softwares removes the Unknown Sim Card window pops up on restart? ( I am using Tmobile)
Thanks

I also use rom toolbox, but I have pro version. Very well worth it! All system apps are in the sys/app folder and can be removed from there if not using rom toolbox. I usually delete all data from the app first though and then remove. Just make a backup first
If you delete updater apk an download setting plugin it will remove the software update from your phone an settings.

I deleted the updater.apk and I don't have 'download setting plugin' ? Unless I'm looking in the wrong spot. Everything keeps coming back. I care less about the bloatware but really just want the old version of google maps back. 6.14 is infinitely better than 7.x !
I've tried deleting the cache and I even disabled 'auto update' in the play store first. Then deleted maps 7 and installed 6.14. It works fine until I restart the phone, and then it automatically updates without any intervention for me before I can do anything. It's like it installs 7.x during boot up.
