Syncing bookmarks to chrome - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys... I just got an E4GT and I would like to sync my browser bookmarks with my desktop chrome.
I have a honeycomb tablet and the browser has a sync option right in the settings, but I can't find any such thing on the E4GT browser.
Is there a sync options built in that I am missing? If not, please let me know how you are importing or syncing your bookmarks from the desktop chrome browser.
Thanks.

You can sync your bookmarks to your google account.
Select the little wrench in the upper left corner of chrome and choose options.
There should be a side bar option called "personal stuff", just set up sync, check bookmarks, and that's it.

Thanks for the reply... I appreciate it.
I have those options already checked in my desktop chrome... but how do I get the bookmarks to sync onto my phone? It's not happening automatically.

Try syncing your google account with your phone. Maybe you don't have bookmarks checked?
Settings » accounts and sync » (your account) ..
Make sure bookmarks is checked and sync.

It's weird because this is the first thing I checked, but there is no option for bookmarks... just music, contacts, gmail and calendar. But I definitely have it synced from my desktop because I am getting them on my honeycomb tablet. I wish I could figure it out.

I am also interested in having my chrome bookmarks be synced to my phone, anyone else?

I tried it, but it doesn't seem to put the bookmarks in the browser, just imports them into the app.

Google Calendar: Calendars are missing in the calendar list after refresh

I synced my google calendar successfully weeks ago. Now i added some public calendars (e.g. world cup) for google calendar. It shows me all the calendars i am using on the pc.
but when i sync it with my desire, it doesn't refresh correctly the list of the calendar i am using right now (e.g. i can't see the world cup calendar).
what can i do..?
is there a way to wipe the old entries on my mobile to do a new and full sync..?
thx for the help!
no idea..? ;(
If you look at the Calendar section in the "Flaws & Annoyances" thread at the top of the listings (it's a sticky), you'll see it's a known issue with some Google calendars.
I posted a workaround here.
Matt
thank u for ur reply.
i add the calendar in ur link and got a new calendar in google. it opens the google calendar in the browser (not the phone calendar).
but it is still the same, it doesnt show it in my calendar on my desire. it still doesnt sync the calendar list..
hmm...
I had the same - Clearing all caches and data relating to Calendars and calendar storage etc sorted it for me. Takes a while to come back though.

How to Disable the Google Calendar - Facebook "Birthday" Integration

Hi Everyone,
I've searched high and low for a solution to this, but haven't had any luck. Is anyone aware of a way to disable the Facebook calendar sync to my Google calendar?
Specifically looking to remove the entries for "friend's" birthdays.
Thanks!
Don't sync your Facebook contacts or the solution below.
Or, to actually answer the OPs question: Just open the calendar app, go to Menu - More - Calendars, and uncheck the ones you don't want to sync.

I also have this problem and I have an HTC EVO 4G LTE running ICS 4.0.3. None of the suggestions I read anywhere on the web worked for me, but I finally found a solution. Open the Google Calendar from your phone/device, and at the top left, there is a drop down menu titled "Calendar." I never noticed that this was a drop down list before, but it is. This is where you will find all of the synced calendars from Facebook and others. I had to uncheck everything, and then add just the ones I cared about. That worked for me; hope this helps.

Syncing callID pictures with facebook primary picture?

Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?
Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.

How do I exactly do that?
Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks
OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!
When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?
no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.
Do you have SNS installed?

Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.
Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..
EDIT:
NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~
hi there
i think i have a same problem like u before
but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try
it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends
sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name
if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture
since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way
notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.
hope it helps
Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..

WP7 Calendar, Birthdays & Holidays?

Is there a way to get Birthdays and Holidays from my Windows Live calendar to sync to the calendar in my WP7 device?
Thanks,
Dave
If you've added the LIVE account for your Windows Live calendar to your phone, and checked the option to sync the calendar, it seems like these events should show up on the phone.
Can you try adding another event to your Windows Live calendar on the web and making sure that syncs down to the phone?

I've found out how to merge multiple Google calendars, but haven't found a way to do it with Live calendars. Bit of a bummer.

goto hotmail web on your desktop. along the top, hover over hotmail, and select contacts. put a tick next to the contacts you want to merge into one. just above the list you see a "manage" option, hover over that and select combine contacts.
presto. contacts merged. these changes should be pretty instant on the phone. otherwise you can goto settings > emails & accounts > press & hold windows live, and synchronise.

Calendars, not contacts. What I really want is birthdays to automatically be added to my calendar.
aww ok, then in that instance, i'm not too sure. haven't really looked into it.

Why won't Facebook calendar sync to the calendar app?

The og epic did this no problem and I miss it. I have my FB set up thru social hub and have calendar sync checked off so what's the prob??

I used to have that working myself but then timezones on events were all messed up so I was forced to find another way.
So what I did was a bit of an end-around that uses your Google account's calendar. If you don't want to sync to Google calendar then this won't work.
If you do, go to your Facebook Events page. There's a link called "Export". That will pop up a message with a webcal://... link. Copy that link to your clipboard.
Then go into your Google calendar using a computer browser (sign in to the account you sync to your phone). Click the little dropdown triangle next to the "Other calendars" section on the left-hand sidebar and choose "Add by URL". Paste the URL that you copied from Facebook into the box and click "Add Calendar".
Now your Facebook events will be in your Google calendar.
If you go to Settings for the Calendar on your phone and select the "Calendars" option, you can pick and choose which of the Google calendars you want to sync. Each will show up as a separate calendar.
If you are obsessive about wishing people a happy birthday, you can also go to the "Birthdays" link under Events on Facebook and follow the same method to export a calendar of all of your Friends' birthdays.

I forgot about this thread lol. After removing all my synced accounts and restoring them manually I got my calendar back up. I guess restoring synced accounts from titanium doesn't do much of a good job.. But thanks for the info bcuz I didn't know I could export a calendar from FB!
