Hi,
I am searching for an app that syncs google bookmarks and honeycomp stock browser bookmarks.
Any ideas?
In past i used an app that is called bookmarks to sd. But this is an plugin for dolphin browser and requires dolphin.
It's built into the Tab's settings but at the moment it doesn't appear to be working correctly. Otherwise you could look for Xmarks in the Market but I don't think it's free.

It is weird because it was working great on the Xoom, but when I switched to the Tab only my bookmarks from the 'Other bookmarks' folder in Chrome are syncing. Maybe it was a bug from the Samsung tweaks of Honeycomb

Worked fine for me, through several resets, and two different Tab 10.1's this week.
Takes awhile to sync though, it'll show empty for almost an hour, sometimes.
My Chrome bookmarks were synced fine before the latest major update (not the 3MB, the 180MB). But now I have no bookmarks, even though Browser says it's set to sync with Chrome and my Google account. Another thread says that the 3MB is supposed to fix the sync issue, and but the update isn't available to me as of yet.

It doesn't work on my Tab 10.1 either. I still can't work it out.
also non functional here
I thought mine wasn't working either but after about 3 days of waiting all bookmarks had been synced. Then I read in another forum that samsung had throttled the bandwidth for syncs its incredibly slow!

Hi All. I'm using the official Facebook app that I downloaded form Marketplace. Up until a week or so ago, it was behaving perfectly.
Now, when I open it up, it doesn't seem to update. If I press 'refresh', I get the spinning cursor for a few seconds but nothing changes. If I then log-out, and then re-enter my password, and then press 'refresh' it updates perfectly.
I've uninstalled it a couple of times, and reinstalled it, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Steve
Your not alone on this, I have two HD2's and on both systems the Facebook app isn't working correctly. The only thing that I've found so far that allows me to update it is, to log out and log back in.
Probably just a small glitch that will get sorted out soon. FB must have changed a way in which the clients interact with it.
Facebook App not working
Cheers - Nice to know (in a way) that I'm not alone!
this is not new, there's a few threads regarding this, but no fix yet! the only way I found to get a smooth way to use facebook is, on the internet sense tab, add the touch.facebook.com url to the links and sign in and save username and password. Now for me I use Energy rom so it has opera as default browser, so once I set it up the first time and save, it works just like the app, once I touch the link it goes in right to my home in facebook, and everything works like its supposed to.
touch.facebook.com...........
easier to view on the device than the full site......
more functional than the app.....
got the same issue here updated to the newest client and bam 3 days later no more updates. so I just use the opera browswer but the downside is that it uses an older fb plugin with cratastic pictures
ok im not just trippin
yeah the facebook app for the hd2 sucks i hate to say it but the facebook for my iphone is the best one
Just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 from AT&T. Still have the stock android from AT&T running it (ICS. Version 4.0.4). I choose to use the mobile browser version of facebook as the app itself is very slow and buggy in my previous experience. But whenever I click on likes and comments on a post in facebook to see the details, the browser freezes in android. It says "Internet is not responding. Would you like to close it?". I have cleared all cache, rebooted, cleared all cookies, history etc. But it keeps doing this. Interestingly no other website has given me issues ranging from flash rich sites to simple yahoo mail mobile website. Also I never had this problem with the Galaxy S1, my last phone. To reclarify, there is no problem with facebook on main pages like news feeds or my page. But the freezing occurs when you click on comments or likes icon to see the details.
Can anyone help with above or is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
thanks,
K

Thanks for the response. No I haven't. But I am still puzzled. Why it would just not work fine in my stock android browser?
By the way how did you manage to get the desktop version of facebook running. Everytime I try that, it automatically goes to mobile version.
I will try the Chrome. I suppose I have to install it. Would it create a conflict with the stock android?

I have the exact same problem. I thought it was because I rooted it. I guess an update will fix it eventually. Also, it seems to only be Facebook, so maybe the site is doing it.
Solution
So I finally resolved the problem. I have stopped using the android stock browser and installed the Chrome app. It is working like a charm and no more error messages. I don't miss the stock browser at all and in some ways, Chrome is giving a much better experience.
I've tried everything : flashing Honeycomb, CM9, AOKP and now official 4.0.4. Never had timeline on my SGT 10.1
The facebook app looks like crap in my SGT 10.1 , I cannot use it in landscape mode because the photos in the news feed are half showed and of course no timeline.
on my SGS 2 the app is working fine : timeline, landscape and portrait are switching just fine. So please please how can I fix this?
Here is two screenshots from my tab and phone
Badger Facebook to make the a tablet version of the app. They do on iOS. The current app just wont do it, youre better off going to http://m.facebook.com in a browser for the time being.

So everyone with Galaxy Tabs has this stupid version of facebook?
Yes. Some idiot at Facebook decided to give the finger to Android tablet owners and remove the previous optimization. It's formatted for phones only now which it why it looks like garbage. Use the website. It works just fine.
No full screen photos in website mode, and also a little bit slow than the Facebook app. Those Facebook stupid people shouldn't breathe
I think FriendCaster looks/and is made for Tablets. It looks wonderful on my GT 10.1.

Tried all releases back to 1.7. None of them are tablet optimised. And earlier than 1.8 wont show profile pages at all.

I have this problem too. Am on PA 0.5 and it was working without any problems then one day I realized that the layout had reverted to the old version.
After various tests such as changing App dpi, clearing cache, even dalvik (?) I'm at a loss.
Looks like there is yet to be a solution for this.

If you use FB app in portrait mode it's a little better layout, but not much.
Friendcaster has an awesome UI and I like it, but it doesn't pick up all my friends' posts. Apparently if they have set their privacy settings to block 3rd party apps, Friendcaster can't recognize any of their posts.
I still go back to the browser version. I was using the regular FB page through the browser but it was SOOOOOO slow. The mobile page is much better. Maybe some day they will come out with a tablet app...
I just found FAST for Facebook. It's in Beta but impressive so far.

I've tried the 1.9.0 the 1.9.2 , today I've updated to the latest 1.9.8 Same old stupid interface.
Sadly I have minimal to zero knowledge about how to modify .apk`s but I think if we could somehow ``tell`` to the facebook app that is not running on a tablet but let's say on a galaxy nexus or s2, s3 (you name it) this should do the trick. So, how to mod facebook to ``think`` that is running on a phone not a tablet?
it is a TERRIBLE app
In my household there is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an ASUS Transformer Prime. The Facebook app looks just fine on the ASUS, as if it's been optimized, but I get the same result you do when using the Tab. It's REALLY frustrating, and will hopefully get resolved if enough of us pester the app maker. I've left an updated review for each iteration, and I see TONS of Tab owners complaining about the app in the reviews.
After a quick search I've found that if you change the build.prop to other tab ( or phone ) the facebook app might work. The problems are : I don't know how to that. Will this have an impact on the installed apps?.
Timelines seem to be working now. Fb must of changed the code on their end. Can only view in portrait mode really, its doesnt scale right in landscape. At least you can access peoples photos, about etc tabs now too.

Edit: and its gone back again. No more timelines.!
A friend of mine as an Allview Tab wich is half the price of the Galaxy Tab, has an HD resolution and guess what? Facebook app is working perfect, just like on my phone, so **** *** Samsung for doing some great devices but forgets some small things like this, wich is kind of sad.
I got a GT-P3100 (Samsung Tab II ) with CM10nightly and still face this problem ...
I when I have the time I will try to change the product Id of the tab to see if it works. Anyway F*** y** Samsung.
Today, I update my FB version, and the problem continue...

OK for starters I am very well versed in Android. I've been around the block for a long time and I've built my own roms, mods and basic apps. But I am stumped.
Now for record I am rooted and running the newest nightly from CM. (Not that it matters since this issue happens on every nightly). I'm using the Goo GAPPS12122013. I have two Google accounts signed in. Me and the wife, since I used her Nexus 7 credit to buy some apps. Dual accounts works great BTW it also allows syncing of instant uploads which is a plus.
My device is signing me out of stuff. The two culprits is YouTube and TapatalkHD. No joke YouTube will work flawless for a day or 2 and then ill open it and there is no user account signed in. So I have to do it manually. Then TapatalkHD says I'm running an unauthorized copy and must buy it. Nothing even a data wipe for the app fixes it. I have to go into the play store, uninstall it, watch it change to 'bought' then reinstall it and it works fine.
I don't get it, this never happened on my N7 on any rom not even the Gnex does it. All have dual accounts as well.
Any ideas as to what causes this? My Gmail, G+, Drive... they all don't seem to be affected. One commonality is that this issue may arrive after a crash/hardreset occurs. I find it odd though that its just these two every time.
Thanks!

I think it's a bug with the latest YouTube app, it started happening as soon as I updated to 4.3.9.
I have it in YouTube as well, currently stock rom
OK excellent, I thought I was going crazy lol..
Any ideas about TapatalkHD besides the fact that it's a super buggy app?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I don't have quite the same problem but every other dayish (probably) the YouTube widget has the information as if i wasn't signed in, then every time i click on YouTube it says 'Signing in' quickly and the widget goes to my stream. It's never really bothered me but it points to it being something stock.
I am running stock 4.2.2, have other users and have YouTube updated to latest version.

Just curious to see what browsers people are using on their Manta. Do you go for fast and stable browsers or ones that are feature rich?
I use UC Browser for Tablets myself I feel it has a good balance of speed and features.
I used chrome for a while but then I stitched to aosp browser and its a lot better. Faster smoother and it shows downloads whole chrome sometimes didn't.

I use Firefox beta. Fast, reliable, synced with my desktop and my nexus 4 and, of course, with flash support :thumbup:
Boat Browser (paid version). I'm using it for ages on my Galaxy Note and now I'm using it on the Nexus 10 as well.
I'd like to switch to Firefox, but it is heavily lagging when scrolling slightly complex webpages (e. g. www.spiegel.de). So I'll wait for this to be fixed.

Same here as well. Using paid boat browser on my nexus 10 and S3 but would love to switch to Firefox but its so laggy on some heavy pages compare to boat thats so smooth.
Haven't tried Firefox beta yet though. But to be honest I dont think firefox even the beta version will come close to boat browser in terms of performance but UI wise I prefer Firefox because its very neat and clean.

Boat, because it has flash non rooted, and because it does "mouse over" well.
Xscope. But the only good thing about it is that I can swipe to go back and forth. It can do flash as well and rendering is not bad
i use aosp browser but i think and i use to lightning browser is faster
I am still not decided which browser to use on N10. I like bookmarks sync of Chrome but I do not like that it is not hiding tabs and address bar so it has not so much space to show web page contents. I like the way of automatic hiding of address bar of Boat browser but it does not work in full screen mode for some reason. On top of that there is no sync with Chrome bookmars. And last that I was trying is Dolphin with Jetpack. It can hide notification bar on top, it can somehow show and hide tab and address bar infull screen mode but it it not as userfriendly as Boat. It can also somehow sync with Chrome bookmarks. At the moment I tend to use Dolphin but still not fully satisfied with interface in fullscreen.
These are features that good browser should have in my opinion:
* two-way sync with chrome bookmarks
* possibility to hide top notification bar to optimize screen usage (fullscreen) - ideally also bottom bar
* easy usage of tab and address bar in full screen - some automatic showing/hiding as Boat can do in normal mode
* reasonable speed
I am affraid there is no browser with all those features
Oh, also Boat has Google Cloud Print add on FTW

Use Chrome Beta. It has a very smooth implementation of this feature as of about a week ago - you can't actually find it on the Play Store search, though. You have to use a link; there's one here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en
Also, I find Dolphin is the smoothest scrolling and panning of them all - also one of the fastest to load. But does anyone else find it inconsistent? I was using it on my Galaxy Nexus today, and the auto-fullscreen was glitching out when I panned horizontally. The page caching seems a bit odd, SOMETIMES clearing all my tabs and sometimes not (not like Chrome closes almost all of them - sometimes they save for a while sometimes not). Its a solid performer when it DOES perform, the best. But Chrome Beta, even though its a bit slower and doesn't scroll or pan NEARLY as fast, is quite consistent overall.
You just nailed it on why I finally stopped using Dolphin. That, and... Chrome BOokmark sync. My phone, laptop, desktop, tablet, work laptop, and work desktop (yes, I utilize all of the above :S) all have Chrome with my bookmarks on them. I use Chrome on all my devices now.
Also, Dolphin does weird things with Lotus Notes at work and I can't access it, even in Dolphin Mini
I use Chrome simply because being able to sync across many devices is awesome that alone is worth dealing with the crashing and other problems.
My biggest pet peeve.... despite so many people requesting it Google continues to remain thick headed about allowing us to enable Desktop Website by DEFAULT.
I hate having to check that box every time I open a new tab or click a link on one page that opens another window with the mobile version.

Thanks for your information. I have installed it but I haven't found any way to enable fullscreen. I was googling it and I have only found that this feature is for phones only. How did you activate it for tablet?
Dolphin is great but I since Swype doesn't want to auto space in URLs I had to switch away from it. Haven't really tried boat yet.
+1 for Dolphin. Love swiping the left to get bookmarks and right to get full screen. Great browser!
