[Q]Sync Internet - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am currently running an FC07 rom and under the Google sync settings there is one called Sync internet. This always fails. What exactly does that sync?

The complete internet .....lol
Your bookmarks....

That is what I thought but it gives me an error every time even though the bookmarks have been synced

Internet Sync
This works with your Google+ account. It will sync your pictures from there. They took away Facebook sync because it was a violation to Android TOS.

the solution is here

its the sync settings in chrome!
In google chrome settings via a computer, There is a hyperlink to google dashboard. Go there and down to Chrome Sync, Reset and delete chrome data. Then in Chrome settings reset sync and do NOT set it to "encrypt all data" just use the fist option "encrypt with password",
Problem fixed.

just to clarify...
It syncs your open tabs in cromebrowser as well as your bookmarks cross platforms... so from every device you run chrome browser on and are logged in to your account.
ps. would like to know if my posts helped.... reporting back or a thank you would be appreciated.

Gmail account "sync error"

This randomly started a few days ago. My contacts and email seem to be syncing just fine, but my calendar isn't. I've done a clean wipe and re flashed ROMs, but I can't even add my Google account after doing that (can't establish reliable connection, or similar message).
Everything else works fine, so I'm at a loss. I've tried multiple ROMs and gapps and kernels, but nothing fixes it. Could my specific Google account be messed up somehow?
Thanks!

Yep I can browse https without problems. It's weird because email and contacts are syncing even though it shows that error. The bad part is that my calendar won't sync.

I found a possible solution for that trouble, try this and let me know:
1. Turn off sync google calendar
2. got to settings ->apps -> manage apps -> all
3. find calendar storage -> clear cache -> clear
4. find calendar sync (settings-> accounts and sync->click on gmail and turn off sync)
5. Reboot Phone
6. Re-enable Sync

Well I tried it, but unfortunately it didn't help. Also, I have done a completely clean wipe, so it sure seems to be a Google problem. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Cannot seem to get chrome bookmark sync on default android browser.help!!

When I first got my phone in the stock browser I could create bookmarks and store them either locally or on my google account. After soft bricking and restoring everything to stock i now have only local bookmarks. Everything else about my phone works fine, including all google account sync except for bookmarks.
Anyone else had this problem?
Anyone fixed it?

I had a hell of a time to get the bookmarks to sync, when it finally did it didn't work right and only synced some. I ended up fixing it by installing Chrome. I don't really use Chrome, but bookmarks now properly sync for the stock browser...
Clear data for the stock browser (Settings > Application manager > Scroll to the "All" tab > select the Internet app > hit "Clear data").
Then, under your Google account settings un-check "Internet", perform a sync, then check "Internet" again and let it pull the bookmarks.
This should hopefully take care of it.
I don't see a setting for "internet" anywhere in my google account settings. Would you mind clarifying? Thanks for the help

[Q] gmail calendar won't sync

on my Optimus G in Calendar/settings/accounts when I go to my gmail account the top of the screen has a message "This account is not being synced..." How can I make this happen? I read a suggestion to delete the information in the calendar and let it re-sync, but I don't know how to delete the calendar info. I've gone into gmail calendars on my pc and things seem ok there??? Is there another way to enable the sync?

are you using the power saver features or greenify it has option to turn sync off/hibernate i've noticed sometimes it doesn't reenable them from time to time, try un checking the sync options and can go into settings from the app and mashed sync is clicked

If you have calendar synced (will delete local data): Go to system settings and apps. Click the all tab. Scroll down and find calendar storage clear data and force close. Check calendar/syncing.

unfortunately neither suggestion worked. When I go to the Account & Sync page, Gmail is not listed. I would have expected that. Is this the problem? How do I add Gmail to the sync, or Gmail calendars. My Gmail account actually syncs and pushed mail.
Weird... Gmail should be added to Accounts & Sync when Gmail is installed. I would try uninstalling Gmail entirely and reinstalling.
As for Calendar... as stated above, System Settings>Apps and clear Data on Calendar Storage. This fixed syncing errors for me.
Also, try going into Settings within the Calendar app itself. There you can select which calendars to sync. Maybe all are deselected, so that is the reason for it saying that in Accounts & Sync?

Facebook events not syncing with calendar.

My Facebook events speed syncing with the stock calendar and I cannot figure out how to get it back. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and checked all the settings is anyone else having this issue? What am I missing?
If you haven't already try going to settings and under accounts and sync make sure Facebook is checked along with calendar with Facebook.

When I go to the sync option in the Facebook account settings it only had an option for contacts and says last synced date and time.
Then you can't sync calendar if its not an option. Has it ever worked before?

It did, it was great. Everything showed up on the widget too.
Maybe its an app issue with a recent update. Maybe the devs for the app can help you. [email protected]
Are you on a tablet ROM? For whatever reason, when I ran a multi dpi ROM in tablet mode, the FB didn't sync my calendar. There was no option for it. I didn't run the ROM all that long, never found a solution.

Facebook notification to login

Anyone getting a notification to login to Facebook when starting the phone? I get it every time. It's not the Facebook app, it's the sync apps with Facebook account. You can see it under accounts in settings. Maybe it only turned on when I clicked that but didn't log in. Wth does Samsung want to sync with my Facebook!
Just sign in. It's to sync fb pics and calendar. You can just sign in and not sync it.
