This seems ridiculous, it might be an easy fix but I don't have my computer and I need to share a whole google calendar. Even when the browser agent is set to desktop, it loads a mobile version that doesn't show the options to edit sharing settings. I tried opera, dolphin and xscope. Any ideas?

Is there any way to import bookmarks from a desktop browser (any really, I'll work out the conversion) or from an html/xml file into the standard browser on the SGS2 (Internet app) in a way the retains folder structure? All of the methods I've tried (e.g., MyBookmarks, GMarks, importing into Dolphin browser and then exporting) at best manage to put the bookmarks into "Most visited" as a flat list. Kies can create bookmarks but, as far as I can tell, only one at a time, and there's no way to create folders. The app itself can create folders but there doesn't seem to be a way to import bookmarks. Any ideas?
Work around i used on SGS 1 was to save bookmarks on PC as html .
Copy that to a folder on SD card open that html bookmark file load the relevant site and then bookmark it in the phone .
Import bookmarks never got that to work .
However the same method may work with Dolphin use the Dolphin Bookmarks to SD app save existing bookmarks this creates a folder .
Navigate to Tunny Browser file open open bookmarks and paste in bookmarks from PC .

I use google chrome on my desktop, so I use this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.h.chromemarks&feature=search_result 'ChromeMarks' to sync my bookmarks.
Then I just open up the app on my phone, and upon clicking on a bookmark, it will ask my which browser to use. You can select a default action aswell, so it just goes straight to browser A forexample.
Ok just tested this method copy bookmarks to phone from PC into Dolphin Browser .
Install Dolphin Bookmarks to SD from market .
Run app and export bookmarks to create folder bookmarks .
On PC save bookmarks as bookmarks.html .
Copy to phone Via USB Dropbox Wifi whatever . to internal sd card Tunny Browser Bookmarks folder .
Open Bookmarks to SD and Import selection the file you just copied across .
Worked with my two hundred odd bookmarks .

Very interested in everyone's comments and experience on this thread as I'm a browser addict and the good rendering speed was a big part of the reason why I bought an SGS2.
I tried Chrome to phone, Dolphin Bookmark Sync and Firefox Sync plugin all to no avail. It's not that they don't work, it's just that CtP will just create an app with no true integration with your mobile browser, Dolphin doesn't support subfolders and neither does FF.
In fact, the 'best' solution I found was to *gasp* switch from Chrome to Opera on my two desktops, enable OperaSync and now I can use opera mobile on android with all the bookmarks synced between the 3 devices.
Interestingly, Opera is also the only mobile browser to support ALL of the following: 'open in background tab' type click, proper UA spoofing and subfolders in bookmarks, and sync of course.
I can't wait for the next release of Android to come out - hopefully they will make a 'chrome-like' something the default browser and enable a sync over the cloud.
What do you guys think?

Yes, this does work well - thanks. The other (similar) possibility that works is to use Firefox Sync within Firefox Mobile and the desktop client. I don't really like the mobile version, though. Opera Mobile is better, but I was (am) really hoping to use the native browser.
Hi guys
has anyone noticed any issues (in ICS) where lets say you use google search or selecting a hyperlink from another app (ie, SMS, Tapatalk etc..) the browser fails to load it (it just refreshes the previous page). I find i have to then exit the browser and press the hyperlink again for it to work...
any ideas?
I have had a search to no avail...
I'm probably not using the correct terminology here, but sometimes when one app starts another app, the second app seems to exist as its own process, whereas other times it seems only to exist only within the process of the first app. Where this really matters is if I want to switch back and forth between the two apps or, say, to do something completely different and _then_ return to either the first or the second app. For example, if I use Documents to Go to view a .DOC attachment in the Gmail app, Documents to Go launches as a separate app: I can switch between Documents to Go, Gmail, and any other app I have running. It's great! (And it's the behavior I expect.) However, if I instead use Quickoffice to open the .DOC attachment from Gmail, Quickoffice seems to load _within_ the Gmail app: I can't switch back to Gmail from Quickoffice; if I switch to a third app and _then_ try to switch back to Gmail, I get to Quickoffice instead; and if I back-button my way from Quickoffice back to Gmail, I can't get back to Quickoffice anymore. Basically -- rather than existing as a separate app like Documents to Go, Quickoffice seems just to take over the Gmail app.
I assume that there are Android terms to describe the difference between how Quickoffice and Documents to Go behave when called by Gmail, right? Can someone tell me what they are? And is there any way for the user to control this behavior? I'd _really_ like Quickoffice be behave like Documents to Go in this regard when called from within Gmail.
Thanks!

Chrome - using local HTML file as homepage?
Hey I made a speed dial type HTML page, and I want to use it as my homepage in Chrome but I can't figure out how to do it. I've added it to my bookmarks and added a shortcut to my homescreen but when I go to launch it, it says 'App not installed'.
When I create a shortcut to it via Estrong file manager, the only two applications it lets me open it in, is Dolphin or HTMLViewer but I want it to open in Chrome.
Anyone got any ideas?
