If you have upgraded to version 5.0.0 sync to Google has been removed. In the options you will see backup and restore. Works like a champ and keeps them in alphabetical order as well.

I can't even sync from Google to phone. It just says 'Sync successfully' but no bookmarks appear in bookmarks. I already wrote to the support, so I hope they can fix it.

And what version are you using? If you look at my post above in current version 5.0.0 synch has been removed, so no matter how many times you click on synch it won't. All bookmarks to SD does now, is just that, saves your bookmarks to your memory card.

Are you sure? Because if they remove it then why is there the tab for syncing? And I wrote them that it didn't work and they just asked if I have newest version... strange. It is feature I am really looking for. I still don't understand why the default browser don't have bookmarks sync...
I will ask them again to be sure.

hey guys I know this is an old thread, but I was just wondering if a solution was ever found. I have the latest Dolphin HD and Bookmarks to SD, and I hit sync, but nothing is imported

That is because it isn't supported anymore you need to use backup and restore inside of the dolphin settings. From what I remember it was like version 6.9 or so they stopped using it.

Thanks for the answer! I read that in several different forums but it was never stated in any Dolphin forum so I just wanted to check... it actually sucks pretty bad and makes me want ICS even more so I can use the Chrome browser.
It works on my Streak 7 ICS build and it makes it real nice to be able to go from computer to tabler and have all that right there

They discontinued support because they did not agree with Google's privacy policy. Bad enough Big Brother knows what you are looking and for how long, but now they want to know what bookmarks you keep.... Am with you on ICS that is why I can't wait till the Note drops in prices, think Streak 5 seeing it was crushed by a bus in South Korea (hPA's work, _n0p_ said his skill set was well above his and was the one the few that might have made it happen....).

Yeah I hear ya... I was looking at one Saturday at the Samsung store at the mall, and it's lighter than my Streak but just a hair thicker since it has that rounded back, but that makes it more comfortable to hold, and the form factor is no larger than the Streak so I will definitely be getting one as soon as it comes down in price from the clouds or a good used one

[Q] Alternative to timescape & stock email

Android stock email isn't the fastest for imap.
I tend to use K9 for this.
However, this isn't tied into timescape...
I kinda like the idea of one esthetic overview of my calls, texts and email. Since I use my phone for business, I don't really need twitter or facebook.
I tried executive assistant and pure messenger. They are ok but not half as nice as timescape...
Do you know of any other good alternatives for timescape?

[Q] Contact Manager

Question for GTab owners. I have been browsing all day for a better contact manager. The user interface for the Google Contacts in my TNT Lite 4.4 is rather simplistic so I am looking for a better solution. I would like to try Better Contacts by Scott Stephen. I can not find it in Google Market or Amazon App Store on my GTab but I can find it on my phone. I even scanned the barcode found on the developers site and get a valid link but when I follow the link, it doesn't find it in the Google Market. Yet, my phone would find the link and take me right to the purchase screen. Is there something I'm missing? Does anyone know a better contacts manager or where I can find the Better Contacts .apk file and side load it?

You could use Astro File Manager to back it up and then sideload it off your phone. But then you'd not get updates.
Go Contacts seems fairly nice, as well.

I look for Go Contacts and all I can find is the Go Contacts Plug-ins... Can't find the main Go Contacts app itself. I even loaded appbrain and can find the Better Contacts app there but when I click on market, it cant be found... WTF? Why is my Market lacking features? I can use it and purchase apps no problem but trying to find a good contacts app is fighting me...
After further research, I think this all comes down to the Market fix most of us suffer from. I will keep looking for the correct way to procede. I am running TNT Lite 4.4 and read through 18 pages on the market fix but with so many different ROMs and devices, I just can't be confident in jumping in...
There is no 100% market fix. Look for threads on changing your build.prop
BTW..Thanks for actually reading. You have more knowledge than 90% of the other users posting endless threads asking the same questions over and over

I'll do what I can to help you out.
Best email program - I only have exp with Gmail & TW email. I like them both
Organize programs - AppZorter
sync music - there are a bunch of software that can do it: Kies, Samsung Media something, Media Monkey. Google it & you'll probably get more results than I listed
here is a list for you buddy on what to remove and not to...

to get the apps sorted better i prefer using a different launcher. Launcher pro is the one i use but any of them will put them in alphabetical. Cant believe samsung dont have an option in touchwiz to do that, seems quite a basic omission.
email i just use the stock one but k9 email is also pretty good.
not sure what you mean by the voice commands, you should just tap the home button twice and the voice control screen comes up
Best email: K9 Mail.

point is the standard everyday user shouldnt have to come to xda and download a modded theme just to get the app drawer showing alphabetical. Its a pretty standard request from everyone and a pretty big omission from samsung.

true and i fully agree with you and the way you sort folders in touchwiz is pretty **** compare to the go launcher..but still i think the update of touchwiz fixes all of that now

Alternative for Awesome Drop?

Anyone have an alternative to Awesome Drop? - i do not want dropbox - i'm looking for a easy way to get small files from my PC to Phone quickly through my wifi. No programs etc. Like awesome drop, it'd be great to have it go from browser, but if not just suggest me some.
awesome drop is not working for me.
www.labs.dashwire.com is down apparently.
Sugar Sync
While this is an app, Sugar Sync is an amazing(and free) app that auto syncs whatever you want, photos, videos, or even certain folders. Look it up, and see if you like it!
minus.com and minus app in market.
Edit: Forgot to add you get up to 50 gig free with minus.

To transfer files between phone and pc on wifi I use Samba fileserver. It just turns your phone's internal SDCard into a network share. Free market app. Configure once. Does one thing and does it well. Presto.
I'll have to give that a try...

zzzap.it
We have released zzzap.it out of private beta a couple of days ago. It's actually quite similar and allows you to send any file from your desktop's web browser to an Android phone. There's an optional Chrome browser plugin that resembles the Chrome-to-Phone functionality as well. No user accounts required. The file size is currently limited to 10 Megabytes.
Would be nice to get some initial feedback in case you want to try it out. Thanks!

[Q] Gallery app very slow - how to unsync picasa/facebook galleries?

So, my gallery app is so slow that it is almost unusable. If I open it, I get a bunch of blank boxes that take forever to populate. I think it has something to do with me checking 'sync picasa', 'sync facebook', etc. options when I setup the phone. Can somebody tell me how to unsync these galleries? I went to the Facebook account settings and unchecked sync pictures, but I still have a bunch of albums and it's crazy slow.
Any ideas?
the picasa sync option is in your google account section of the menu.

Yeah, I already ended up unchecking the sync pictures boxes for Facebook and for Picasa. But the albums are still there in gallery. Maybe I should clear data for gallery or something?
the blank boxes... do they every populate?

After waiting a while, and they have the picasa and facebook icons. So it's still pulling my galleries off the web, even though it is no longer synced. I also wiped the gallery app data, and they are still there. I think that is why the app is so freaking slow for me.
you could try uninstalling facebook and try running a 3rd party facebook app. I personally can't stand the stock facebook app for crap like this and the way its always running.
as far as picasa, if you use it, i'm not sure what else could be done. if you dont't use it, you can remove a lot of its functions via the pc. and that would clear that up.
I have a tip for you OP.
Turn off Wifi then try using your Gallery.
Not really a solution for the stock gallery but I've used Quickpic for as long as I can remember and it's always fast, reliable, and no sync issues to deal with. Currently I use that for normal picture management and use the stock gallery in the rare instance I need Picasa or Facebook photos synced.
Yeah I have found I have this issue if I am connected to wifi at my house.. I know the reason too. Looks like the phone is trying to connect to my networks dlna server (plex) which for whatever reason it is unable to do.. I just removed allshare and the problem is gone.. you can either rename the three or so files in your app dir (if you have root) or you can install a ROM as most of them give you an option to not install allshare.
