[Q] Cannot sync chrome bookmarks

I went to settings and clicked sync with Chrome book. I have chrome to phone installed and connected to the Xoom. Is there something else I have to do?

Chrome to phone has nothing to do with bookmark sync. Chrome to phone sends the URL of the site from your desktop to your tablet/phone independent of bookmarks.
I have Chrome to phone installed as well as bookmark sync enabled both in Chrome desktop and Xoom. Do you have the bookmark sync setup in the Chrome browser on your PC using the same account you are using on your Xoom?

before the xoom was released, i started shifting over to using chrome broswer.
i collected/exported all my bookmarks from various broswers (firefox/opera/safari/ie) and imported them all into the chrome.
when I got the XooM, i did a sync and now i have over 10 years worth of bookmarks.

I'm sorry but what do you mean organize? Automatic, I think they are aligned alphabetically. Then you can tap&hold&move any bookmark and place it anywhere within the bookmark page.
Hope this helps,

Just tried, you cant drag and rop bookmarks

Also noticed there is no real way of organizing your favorites in stock browser. You can sync with Chrome though and change the order in Chrome as a workaround...

yeah..I just organize them in chrome and sync through

Bookmarks into opera mini

Ok I have a bunch of bookmarks in my default browser. But I'm changing over to opera mini browser and need help getting them over. Can anyone help?

Well, here's what you can do...
1. Sync (export) the bookmarks from your default browser using any 3rd party sync app - there are many available.
2. Transfer (import) the bookmarks to your PC's browser - if you have opera browser on your PC, its a lot easier. Else, install opera browser and sync the bookmarks which you had exported using the 3rd party app.
3. Once done, you will need to setup "Opera Link" sync - it's a simple registration.
4. Once the sync is complete, your bookmarks will remain on operas' servers
5. Open Opera Mini, go to settings, enable "Opera Link"
6. Login with your username/password.
7. Opera Mini bookmarks will be synced with your PC bookmarks.
If there is a simpler method, others can pls feel free to suggest. AFAIK there are some apps which help in importing apps from Chrome browser to the default Android browser but I have never used the apps.

Alright. It will be a couple of weeks until I can try it but ill give it a go and see what happens

No, unless the developers of the browsers do it.

Not like that, but Boat Browser and Dolphin both have tabs that you can customize with shortcuts. Dolphin allows 10 and Boat allows 30.

Also in dolphin browser you can create a folder in your bookmarks and name it bookmark toolbar and access it with just a swipe of your finger. Also dolphin browser has a addon called Bookmarks to SD that allows you to import and export bookmarks to and from an html file to and from dolphin browser and the stock browser. I took my bookmarks from my laptop of firefox and chrome saved them to html files then imported them into firefox to organize and clean them up getting rid of duplicates and then imported the cleaned bookmarks into dolphin browser and the stock browser so I have the same bookmarks all across the board. There are a few glitchs but for the most part the concept works.

thanks for the replies... shame that but il try your way and see hwo i get on

[Q] Bookmarks sync between tablet and phone

I have a galaxy note 10.1 and a galaxy nexus: do you know how I can keep in sync the bookmarks of the browsers of each?

Download ChromeMarks from PlayStore (paid version recommended) and sync all Your bookmarks to ALL devices (PC, phone, Tablet) running Chrome-Browser.
It has the option to show all bookmarks in the order of the PC-Chrome-Browser with the correct icons.
From ChromeMarks on Phone/Tablet You have the option to open the bookmarks in the browser of Your choice (Stock, Opera, Chrome, Dolphin, Floating etc.)
I have it on all four Galaxy devices and wouldn´t know how to do without

problem is... I do not use Chrome, neither at home nor on phone/tablet...
I do not care about browser at home, though... I use stock android browser on phone and tablet, and want to sync between them...
I have browser sync on in google account, but when I add a bookmark on galaxy nexus even after refresh it is not saved on galaxy note 10.1
