[Q] Syncing my bookmarks/passwords/tabs from FireFox to DolphinHD? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im using Dolphin Hd as I heard its the best.
It does seems pretty good but one funcionallity is missing: syncing with my home browser.
I tried using the plugin "FF for dolphin" but it doesnt work well or doesnt work at all
If I pinch to the side, it only shows my tabs.
my passwords isnt synced at all, and the bookmarks isnt either.
Has anyone managed to use it and have it work 100%?
I just want my bookmarks, passwords and opened tabs.
In the addon settings page I do have all the imports checked.

K-9 Mail - Some links in emails do not open? Works fine on Droid X.

Hi guys,
Recently I noticed with a bunch of e-mails that I received in K-9 mail app, that normal hyperlinks to websites in e-mail bodies do not open the browser at all or do anything. They are clickable, but nothing happens when clicked.
Since I receive the same exact emails on my Droid X in K-9 (same Gmail account), I tested on there and those same links work just fine and open in Dolphin HD. I don't get it??
I made sure the Tab has Dolphin Browser set as default, it does. No other browsers are installed besides the stock one. I even downloaded Dolphin Mini and removed the default selection from Dolphin HD (so technically the links should prompt which of the 3 browsers I want to open the sites with), but still, nothing at all happens when I click them.
Keep in mind this is most links in emails but not all. There seems to be no difference among the links that work and don't work. Again, they ALL work on my DX.
K-9 mail was good on GTab 7 but not so good on 10.1. I uninstalled it and using the stock e-mail client which is perfect.
Well K-9 is perfect on the 10.1 just like on my DX except for this issue. I'd like to continue using it if possible.
Doesn't the stock email client (the icon is the letter with the red circle seal over it right?) not do push email? Going through setup now, it only gave me options for interval poll checking for my gmail??
EDIT: Oh you mean the Gmail app, not the Email app.
I guess I'll try this since it has cool tablet columns support, but I really love that you can theme and edit every bit of K-9 in settings (colors, font sizes, number of text lines, etc). I would really love to figure out the links problem in K-9. Damn.

Syncing Bookmarks

Has anyone got the stock browser to sync with Chrome bookmarks? I have it setup but it's not working. I tried clearing everything out and setting up again, still didn't work. Are there any good apps that can sync or import my bookmarks (and other browser data too, preferably) I tried ChromeMarks Lite, it worked but they only show up in the app, not in the actual browser.
Anyone? Bueller?

I can't get the bookmarks syncing to work either. I tried both the delete-and-sync from chrome, and the keep-device-bookmarks-and-then-sync. No actual syncing happens. Does this actually work for anyone, if so- how?
I think this might be a general problem, not just limited to the Prime...
No joy. I was going to post this issue as well.
When I go into Accounts in settings & select to sync Browser the sync icon spins then stops & never updates the date & bookmarks are never sync'd from Chrome/Google account
its a known honeycomb bug.
Mine used to fully sync, now only a few folders sync, seems random.
bookmarks to sd works well in syncing google bookmarks to stock browser or dolphin.
Same problem here. Bookmarks gets stuck on syncing, but everything else syncs fine. If it's a known Honeycomb bug, I guess I'll just wait for ICS.

Google Chrome: Bookmarks Question...

I've installed Chrome Beta and it seems pretty sweet. One of the reasons I installed it was, I want to be able to carry on from where I left off on my updated (desktop) bookmarks..when out on my mobile!
I've sync'd with my Chrome d'top bookmarks and all seemed great, but.... I've clicked Back-Back-Back and I'm now at Bookmarks>Mobile Bookmarks.... How the heck do I get back to my list of my Desktop bookmarks??
Can't for the life of me see how!!
Have you tried just putting your finger on "Bookmarks" > Mobile Bookmarks?
Press Bookmarks and itll show Desktop, Other and Mobile Bookmarks.

Yep....that's what I've been doing. I long press bookmarks and all I've got is 'mobile bookmarks' - nothing else. In chrome's settings on both on my phone and desktop pc, it's saying I'm signed in to gmail, but if click on other devices...there's nothing there (apart from some words telling me how great it is etc...)
Edit: NM....sorted it out by signing out on both desktop and phone - and then back in again. Doh!! Thx for your replies though

How to Sync Android Browser with Chrome?

I have motorola defy running CM10, and I can sync chrome bookmarks using chrome for android. But the app is a bit laggy on defy, so I am using stock android browser and here is a method to sync bookmark between chrome browsers and android browser:
When you go to Android browser it only shows your local bookmarks. Whenever you try to go to settings -> accounts and sync it says that there is a problem in Sync Browser, yet it doesn’t say what exactly the problem is. If you have faced this problem here is the solution you were continuously looking for.
How to Fix Sync Browser Problem in Android?
I identify this problem as a bug when interfacing different Google products. The root cause of problem is Google desktop browser supports encryption for all data types while Android browser supports only for passwords. If you have already encrypted entire data only thing you can do is clear all the data and start it again with only password encryption. Here is how to do it and sync Chrome bookmarks with Android browser.
Go to Google Dashboard confirming your password.
Scroll down to section chrome sync and click on Stop sync and delete data from Google.
This will delete entire synced browser data in Google account and it might take few minutes.
Now open Google chrome, go to Settings.
There you can find sign in section. Click sign in to chrome. Here you will have to generate Application specific password if you have enabled Two Step verification.
Then it will take you to Confirm sync settings window.
Click advance and make sure you have selected encrypt passwords only. If you encrypt all synced data android browser won’t be able to work with them.
Click OK to proceed with syncing.
In your android Smartphone go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> browser and Clear data.
Now go to Settings -> Accounts & sync. You will be able to see Sync browser is working fine now.
Open the browser and go to Bookmarks. Now you can see all the Bookmarks that you have in desktop browser in your Android Smartphone browser as well.

I had this issue before, i did what you said, it worked. Now just few days ago, as i wiped chrome sync/restarted it, the stock browser sync started to fail again.
Problem is i DID NOT select ENCRYPT ALL, only passwords, yet it definitly refuse to sync, no matter how many time i delete/restart sync on chrome, wipe data on android..
I know it's an old post,but... Thank you! This thing bothered me for last week.I didn't do anything,just changed rom from cm10.1 to paranoid and this sh.t happened.

This sync browser solution it's only for Android 4.0 and 4.1 not for gingerbread.
You need to use an special .apk that is men't to do just that. I thinkbit called ChromeBookmarSync.apk or something like that. Just google "AOSP browser without root" and you will fibd it. I can't give you any links becouse im on mobile, but you will find it.

work profile and sideloading

Kind of defeats the purpose. My work have given me a selection of apps but no chrome browser, is it possible to side load chrome browser and other apps that are not in the library of literally 9apps they have given?
If anyone can work it out, it would be on XDA!
I am using a Samsung s10 plus with encryption just how work have forced the setup.
The reason. For chrome.
1.Outlook won't allow me to open html, attachments with the incompany browser.
2.Condeco desk booking won't work without outlook
3. Built in browser is terrible, can use to login to Google via some sites as it's seen as not trusted! ( Funny because they don't trust chrome)
