google apps?

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

Stock browser not syncing with Chrome

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.

Android ICS: Adding bookmark to Gmail account

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.

[Q] Is there a fix for the missing Google Bookmark Sync for the S5

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

Google Account only shows Chrome under sync

Hello,
I was having a problem with Google syncing my calendar to the Samsung calendar, so I tried everything I could to sync before I finally just removed my Google Account from the phone and re-added it. Now under Accounts >Google > Sync account I am only seeing Chrome, and missing calendar, gmail, contacts, etc. Has anyone ever encountered this problem or have an idea on how to fix it?
