How to save/sync bookmarks with the default ICS/JB Browser? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I went from ICS to JB on my Galaxy Nexus and even though the bookmarks were saved under my gmail account, it never carried over to my JB Browser. I'm sure Chrome can do this but Chrome sucks compared to the stock Browser, IMO.

[Q] ICS Bookmarks

On the senseless roms, the stock browser syncs it's bookmarks from Chrome, not from google like in gingerbread. But when you run a Sense ICS rom, you can't get either to sync. I know there are apps that kind of do this, but they don't work on ICS+ browser. Is there a way I can set up, or get the AOSP browser to work in a sense based ICS rom with the bookmarks syncing to Chrome?
I would just use Chrome Beta, but it always opens a page in overview, and it drives me mad. Also, those damn thumb controls in the ICS+ browser (and AOSP browser) are so handy, I can't believe nobody has put them in a browser yet.

[Q] Sync bookmarks across platforms & browsers

Hello
I'm currently using Firefox 11 as my computer browser, MIUI (GB version) Stock browser on my EVO 3D phone, and ICS Browser+ on my Transformer Prime tablet, and i've come across a problem.
I can't seem to sync my bookmarks properly.
I've been able to easily sync calendar, contacts, etc with my gmail.com account and such, but I absolutely refuse to use Chrome as my browser just for the sync ability.
So i've come here to ask if anyone has a solution to my problem?
I'd like to be able to sync between all 3 devices if possible (If not possible, at least sync between Firefox 11 on my computer and ICS Browser+ on my tablet?)

Export your bookmarks from Firefox, a HTML file will be created. Try to restore that file using an app like Bookmarks backup&restore

Dolphin Browser Bookmarks Question

Hey. I've been getting pretty pissed off with stock browser and Chrome beta as they're both slow and hang all the time for me. So I downloaded Dolphin to check it out. I've given it my google account details when it asked for them, and received the confirmation email from them to confirm its my email account etc. etc.
But I can't get it to import/synchronise with my google bookmarks. I have manually synced it so many times and nothing shows up. Bookmarks empty...
Any ideas?
Cheers.

It does not sync with your google bookmarks, how I wish it did.
That is for your Dolphin account, download dolphin on your phone, sign in with your google details and your bookmarks will sync between the two dolphin browsers.
It is Dolphin only.
That's poor. Although I assume it's because Google reserve access to Google account information to Google apps? Fair enough really.
Is there an easy way to get around this? So far Dolphin is working out better than the others for me, but would like a quick and easy way to import bookmarks.
Cheers.

Dolphin can import quite well, export from chrome or whatever and then import.
Sorry - you say Dolphin can import quite well, but I can't figure out how to do it. In the Import Bookmarks section in settings, it only gives the option of importing from Dolphin, Dolphin mini or stock browser.
I'd also like to import these bookmarks into the stock browser - can't figure that one out either!

Stock browser bookmarks gone?

Had a hell of a time updating to JB and now recovering from a wipe. Now I can't find an option to sync my Gmail bookmarks to the stock browser. I used to be able to do this in ICS but now there are only local bookmarks. Is anyone else's like this?

I noticed this as well. I switched to chrome. I would rather use stock browser but i had to have my bookmarks.

Stock Email And Browser

my phone should be coming in tomorrow
ive had the motorola droid series of phones since the star 1,2,and currenly 3 with this phone i got lazy with new apps and really trying out much
but with my dna i intend to really get back into it and use it for all its worth
so my first 2 questions about apps would be how is the stock email and stock browser
currently i use k-9 email and dolphin hd browser
should i stick with stock on dna for both of these if not what do you recommend as an email and browser client if not k-9,dolphin or stock
I like the sense mail app actually. That, and the gmail one.
I saw a review of 'mailbox' on the verge the other day, looked great, but only for iPhone. It looked a lot like sparrow. Wish we could get one of those mail apps over here on android.
I use Chrome more than the default browser. I like the gesture features and that it's pretty much just the desktop version and syncs all my bookmarks and history. I'm not such a huge fan of the stock email app. I use it for my work Exchange email, and all of the messages pretty much have letterhead images or documents and I've had to go into the setting and tell the app to download all attachments to get all the images as soon as I open the email. Otherwise it takes FOREVER to get the full message downloaded. Just my .02.
