after i install this hayruko's version it seems that i'm having a problem with my browser. even when i change the uia string via about:debug to change it to desktop version after a while the browser goes back to mobile version are you guys having the same problem? i hate mobile browser version is there anyway to permanently change the uia string instead of keep changing it everytime i go to my browser?
Actually, if you configure it on googles site (search preferences) to use full html you will be fine. It is not an issue with the browser, but with google automatically dumming down the pages it lists in search results.
1) Go directly to google.com and select the settings link.
2) Truen off "Format web pages for your phone"
3) Save.
Hope this helps. If you clear cookies you will have to do this again.
did not help. there's gotta be some option to change user agent permanently...
I'm trying to get my bookmarks restored from myBookmarks Pro. Normally (on any other Android phone I've ever had), you upload the Firefox Bookmarks HTML Export file to www.rerware.com and then on your device it downloads them to my device, adds them to Web Browser and all is fine.
Now with the Infuse it's adding them, but I can't see them. In other words, when I go into my bookmarks in the browser, it only shows the 4 ATT bookmarks they force on me (which I don't seem to be able to delete - grrrr), but not the ones I just imported. But if I begin to type the bookmark name or press search and type the site I want to go to, it's go the bookmarks based on search result, but I want them in the bookmarks list.
Seems like AT&T is somehow controlling my bookmarks... Ideas?
As you may know Chrome is able to sync all his content with google servers...
ICS can do that kind of syncing too...
I'm getting "problems" with the syncing on the phone... why?
Is this happening to anybody else?
It is happening to me. I can not sync my bookmarks.
I've try deleting bookmarks on Google servers through Dashboard and then re-sync by signing in in the Chrome Option > Personal stuff
I sometimes manage to get some sync but even though I manage to sync all my folders (I can see them all in ICS browser bookmarks), a lot of them are empty.
So the sync kind of works, but somehow stops while performing it, and I don't know at which level: is it during the upload of Chrome bookmarks on the server? Is it between the server and Android?
Finally, when I sync Chrome bookmarks and hit refresh on Dashboard, I've seen different results. Sometimes only 2 bookmarks are synchronized, sometimes 58... i've counted, I have 303, excluding folders.
Please someone help, bookmark sync was the main feature I was expecting in ICS
Sync works great between Chrome and FF using Xmarks btw.
Nexus S i9023 4.0.3 stock
on chrome you can check the sync status by opening this address:
about:sync
I suspect that on the phone I'm not able to sync even a single bookmark as my whole chrome sync is encrypted using a custom passphrase and I cannot find a way to input that passphrase into ICS ...
I don't use a custom phrase. I've just tried with default settings.
1st try: 7 bookmarks uploaded to Google servers;
after deleted uploaded data, I've tried again:
2nd try: 199 bookmarks uploaded.
This erratic behavior is infuriating, I don't understand what's going on. We can't be the only two with this issue...

Yes, after like 10 minutes the sync reports the error and is tagged with a red icon

Same here.
I followed your link: about:sync, and I noticed an "Actionable Error" on the top right corner (in full screen): "throttle"
i don't know the conditions which trigger this error, but could it be the reason the bookmarks cannot sync between desktop Chrome and ICS browser?
I've tried a clean sync:
1. Sign out from Personal stuff in Chrome Options
2. Delete Chrome data from Google Dashboard
3. Wait a few minutes and confirm in about:sync that there's nothing synchronized
4. Delete data and cache from ICS browser (in Manage Applications)
5. Sign in Personal stuff in Chrome Options
6. Choose what to sync: I chose only Bookmarks, Encrypt passwords, Use my G. Account PW > OK
It begins to sync. When monitoring about:sync, the error appears: THROTTLED
Can it be the source of our issue?
I use Chrome 16 (no beta, up to date)
EDIT:
I click on sync browser in ICS options, I got no error, but:
* ALL of my bookmarks folders are synchronized: this is good
* SOME of my folders are empty, SOME are full, 1 folder is half full
* It seems to sync in an order. In Chrome, my bookmarks folders are in the bookmark bar: 1, 2, 3, ... 10
* In ICS, the full folder are 10, 9, 8.., the empty are 1, 2, 3...
* One folder is half full, (let's say folder 6)
It seems I had no problem synchronizing folder 10 to 7, but during the sync of the 6th folder, it stopped.
Question: WHY?
at this point I disabled browser syncing and will wait a patch that will allows the user to set his encrypt passphrase
in my case (obviosly) no bookmarks are appearing and that's a good sign as I didn't provided android the key to decrypt the bookmarks

Have you tried delete the account option in Sync Parameters?
I'm not sure if I understood your question.
You mean deleting from within chrome on my pc?
On the PC it appear to be working correctly... and there's no way I'll ever upload my browser data/bookmarks/history using the default settings (no encryption)!!!
In the unfortunate case they are not able to fix the syncing while using encryption I'd rather switch to firefox and use firefox sync
Dont use encryption in Chrome sync for everything, set it for passwords only. Then the bookmarks will sync.
I see... well if that's the only way I'm sorry: I will not push to google my history or my favorites just because ICS is not able to sync encrypted content
I found that I can't change the option of encrypted data types in Chrome.
and the status is Encrypted with Password.
I'm using beta version of Chrome. And Nexus S with ICS OTA. Browser sync error.
Is there anything I can do to sync the bookmark?

Hey,
I finally got it working. I posted a thread on reddit and updated it as the issue was solved.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/nhe8p/issue_with_ics_browse_cant_sync_with_chrome/
In short, the problem seemed to come from the sync process, not from ICS browser. For some reason, it didn't sync properly. The sync "THROTTLED" and wouldn't complete. That's why I saw all folders but not all bookmarks. I reduced the number of bookmarks (I still have 100+) and the sync passed (SUCCESS shown in about:sync in a Chrome tab).
If I remember correctly, I chose to sync only bookmarks and passwords, with an encryption on passwords. But it may work with a full encryption.
Thanks, will check it out
Yup, it seems to be the encryption in google chrome. I couldn't sync my bookmarks with my Nexus S (ICS), so I deleted the sync and started it again, without encryption of the bookmarks, only passwords. Now bookmarks sync again.
Not the best solution, though...

I can customize maps with both Google Maps and Mapquest, on the desktop, by dragging points. Does anyone know if there's any way to do this on my Note, using any of the following?
1. Android apps (Google Maps, Mapquest or something else?)
2. Desktop website through browser on Android
3. Mobile website through browser on Android
Mapquest offers the option to "click and drag" a point on a route, using their desktop website, but as I can't "click," this isn't terribly useful.
Any ideas?
As a related topic, when I do have a map in the browser and want to copy the URL using the link icon, I can select the link, but the copy/cut/paste options don't pop up.
I Sideloaded Google Go (Searchlite) and Chrome Galaxy Watch 4. on Google Go, when it asked me which app I want to use to open a link, I chose Google Go at the time. However, Google Go is good for Searching but not browsing web pages since the search bar takes up half the screen.. is there any way to assign a new default browser for managing links on Galaxy Watch 4?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Go but that didn't work. I know the device has special permissions and defaults that are not accessible from settings. What happens is that Google Go is opening links within CCT since Chrome is installed on watch. It's much slower and harder to see on Go.
