When I first time push a browser link in application Flipboard I select Chrome to be the default browser. This is remembered by my S3. But on the moment I select Chrome to be the default browser also in Twitter (why do I have to make that decision again?) the standard settings for Chrome are erased. This force me to select default browser over and over again. Can't figure out why. Please help.

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.

Hope anyone can help me.....
I can not set the default browser on the S4 to be CHROME. NO matter how many times I set this to the default browser it always prompts me to select one or always anytime a url is clicked.
I cleared all the stock default browser, downloaded an app to make sure that CHROME was the default app and it said it was. Still prompts me to select the Chrome or stock browser.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to anyone that can help me.
Every time i change chrome to default browser it does not stick. If i click on a link in email, google+, or twitter i still get prompted to use chrome or internet.
I've searched and searched everyone says same thing but nothing works.
I've checked "always open with" chrome and does not work.
I've went under all apps and tried to clear default for internet but it is grayed out and i can not click it.
Under default applications it does not show browsers so i can't modify there.
I've downloaded an app called "default app manager" and it allows me to change the browser default but it does not "stick". as soon as i click a link i'm still prompted with an option for browser.
I'm having same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
this may help
I found this to be another app causing the issue, in my case National Express Coach app.
But i think you can find out if you have the same clash using "Default App Manager" lite from the store.
Open app, Under Browser Category it will probably say "no Default App.
Click Browser category, if there is another app listed here other than Internet and Chrome etc, try uninstalling that rogue, non browser app as a test. Worked for me..

Hi!
I have a problem with syncing my contacts from the Facebook and messenger app. If i check Whatsapp i'll see more options, where i can allow the contact syncing. Does anyone have an idea, how i can enable this again? I really want to sync my contacts again with facebook, so i can see their pictures and use my contacts-app as a "shortcut" to start a chat.
See the attachments for screenshots!
Thx
Isnt possible anymore.
Only option is from device to facebook not from facebook to device.
