I'm switching from a SIII to an S5 and I noticed in my S5 that there is no way to sync the Google Bookmarks. When this happened with the 4.2 or 4.3 update on the SIII, I installed the BookMarkSync.apk and it solved the issue. I tried installing the BookMarkSync.apk on the S5 but it didn't work.
Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you in advance for any help or advice!

What browsers are you using? My bookmarks automatically synced with Chrome. If you use a Samsung account you can sync bookmarks with the stock browser that way.
For the Samsung account -
Move your bookmarks to the default browser on your S3,create a Samsung account on your S3 and sync your bookmarks to the account. Then go the default browser on your S5 -> account -> sync your bookmarks.

Hi there,
I was going through the same issue till I found someone online who had it solved.
In your settings list go to "user and backup" and choose "accounts"
go to your "google" account and choose the user you wish to sync (there are people who have multiple google emails linked to their phones and i'm one of them)
Scroll down in your sync settings after clicking on the account name towards "sync chrome"
Make sure your mark it as on
This should fix the problem as it did on my device.
Do share with us if it worked or not.
Cheers and good luck

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.
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?

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.
Just got a note 10.1 and I am trying to configure properly the calendar.
I see thta, besides the google calendars that I have in google and sync with my [hone, on the note there are also two samsung calendars: I can choose not to sync them, but I'd rather delete them as well. Any way?
Thanks
Hi,
I have installed a JB ROM from Snapdragonpt for the ZTE V970.
Everything works fine but I have noticed that the stock browser has no option in order to sync the bookmarks with my google account.
Does any of you knows how to activate the bookmarks syncing?
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Ok, I answer the question by myself: I have found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385928
and I was able to activate the bookmarks sync by installing the ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter apk.
Bye.
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!
