I have set up the speed dialer, bookmarks and passwords using the password manager on the Boat browser on my Nexus 10 and I would like the same set-up on my Nexus 4 without having to do it manually.
The Boat browser does not provide a way of syncing all data between devices and I wondered if the Carbon app could do it.
Does anyone know enough about the Carbon app to know if that will work or any other way to enable data sync between two devices?
Thanks
I use DataSync to sync game and app data between devices. It's awesome. You can choose any application on your device, even queue them up, and sync with Dropbox, or sync directly between devices.

Plus 1 for data sync. I use it works great.
Thanks for your replies.
I've decided to use the Carbon app by Clockworkmod because I am not rooted so can't use datasync.
Sv: Syncing Apps Between Devices Using Carbon App
It seems to be a problem with Data sync beta with multiuser in 4.2.1 though. I synced some apps and it then was present on all user accounts with my data. Apps wasn't even installed on those accounts from the beginning. I'm a little bit worried I actually overwrite my wife's game data if I sync a game we both play.
Also I want automatic sync but I don't understand if it's just sync by schedule or as soon as app data has changed?
Now I also need to choose direction all the time and for some strange reason data is sometimes updated latest on my tablet than remotely even though I know remote is that latest so it is confusing from time to time.

I had this problem too I had to clear my chrome sync data on my Google account clear the data on the Internet app and then sign in and out of chrome. Make sure you are only encrypting your passwords in chrome.

Oh fantastic!
It worked.
For anyone else who stumbles across this thread, what I did was...
In google chrome settings via a computer, There is a hyperlink to google dashboard. Go there and down to Chrome Sync, I reset and deleted chrome data. (Don't worry, it doesn't delete your bookmarks, picasa, or gmail). Then it reset Chrome so that it was not "encrypt all data" and instead is now "encrypt with password", like you said.
Problem fixed.
Thank you so much!
Is it possible to sync both my personal laptop and work PC to chrome? I have my laptop syncing to my primary gmail account and my work PC to my secondary gmail. Can I sync both computers to the same gmail and maintain separate, unique settings for each?

In chrome settings, disable syncing to whichever account you want to let go. Then sign back in with the correct account.
Then, under the syncing options, you can chose what exactly to sync; Browsing history, extensions, bookmarks, etc.
So, yes.

If I am understanding correctly, I can sign into both machines using a single email (gmail account) and they will both stay synced separately? Just want to make sure I'm retaining all of my synced settings for both machines. Thanks for the clarification.
What I don't like about this is that it merges all bookmarks and items in the bookmark bar. I wish it would keep them separate by device. Not practical with the work computer...

Worked perfectly. Thank you.
fixed finally
On my sensation it seems that "reset Chrome so that it was not "encrypt all data" and instead is now "encrypt password" is what repaired my "internet sync" problem.
Thank you!

This worked for me too! I previously had had chrome. Had to get a new galaxy 3. I redownloaded chrome on the new phone and deleted sync data from my desktop then signed back in to chrome on desktop as well . Went back to my phone and hit sync internet and it worked.
I've had the same problem on my SGS3 so I decided to look it up on here. The fix is fine and all, but what exactly does syncing "Internet" do anyway?
Android and Desktop Chrome Sync
I know this is a little old, but I found this thread after having sync problems as well. So I thought I'd post the fix.
I assume you are using chrome on both devices.
you can have encryption on everything and still sync across devices, but you have to have the encryption set the same on both, and use either the passphrase or the google account option, but again it must be the same on both (all?) devices.
I failed to change the setting on my phone when on my desktop browser I reset syncing to encrypt everything, not just passwords.
On your chrome browser for android go into "settings" then tap account name at top then "sync" then "encryption" then match whatever you did on the desktop, and everything should work again.
there's really no reason not to encrypt everything IMHO

Tell your work computer not to sync certain things. like bookmarks. It's how I have mine set up. I sync everything except bookmarks and extensions
Swyped on my EVO LTE
I still want to know what syncing "Internet" actually does.
Had this problem on both my GS2 and my HTC ONE.
Only thing that worked was going to "Google Dashboard" from your computer web browser
Find "Chrome Sync", and click on "Stop sync and delete data from Google"
Refresh your Internet Sync on your Android.

I only use the stock browser, so I wouldn't know, but any browser that syncs with your google account will have the same issue.
for me the issue is slightly different.
my google account bookmarks syncs well on chrome pc and chrome and chrome beta on my android devices (2tabs and phone)...
but it doesn't work for stock browser on any of them. stock browser doesn't sync with server from a month.
already tried to reset data on server...and tried to disactivate and restart syncing on each device. nothing worked.
i set to encrypt only passwords..

I order for me to sync my google account's bookmarks to Chrome Beta I need to leave the accounts&sync's Gmail account ON, as soon as I turn off the sync the bookmarks disappears (with ICS browser I don't need to leave the sync ON, the bookmarks saved to the browser).
Ok...
.. Super
my question is how can I save my bookmarks to Chrome beta?
someone?
I *think* sync needs to be kept on...
Why is that? The sync, in the ICS Browser, doesn't need to be turn on in order to see your bookmarks

Did you find a solution ?, same thing happens to my phone. Leaving the sync on will drain the battery right (I never use sync)
could anybody help? As you can see this problem occurs to other people as well.
Wait for an update to the beta maybe?
I don't think this is it.
what i did was to turn sync on but just uncheck everything in the accounts & sync tab, that way it only syncs google account and doesn´t drain the battery.
if you want to make it more specific, you can uncheck everything inside the google account but chrome so it uses even less resources.
cheers
there is no way in hell that you need to keep the sync ON in order to view your chrome bookmarks!
there must be a way to make it works like it does on the ICS browser
How exactly does Google's backup with your account work? I know it supposed to backup certain app data and things like wifi password but with the 3 devices I have that have android on them, I never really seen it work.
I have an HTC One X which I have connected to wifi accounts in different places I've been like a friend's house. If I were to use my LG Thrive, is that device supposed to download those wifi associations? I also have an HP touchpad, would that get the wifi synced as well?
Or does the backup only work within the device itself so that if I were to factory default my HTC One X, then all those settings Google backed up would be restored?
I think the data is backed up in google servers itself. This seems to work for me (Moto Defy). Whenever I flash a new ROM, after I configure my google account using data connection, it then fetches the WIFi settings and connects to Wifi and starts downloading the apps that i previously downloaded and installed. The app part is not accurate though, it keeps track of aaallll the apps you ever installed.
I know it goes to Google's servers but I don't see the backup functionality working. The same wifi access points do not appear on all my devices that have my gmail account and set to sync with Google

Never restores for me. Each time if reset it just thinks android device is a new one with identical details so backs up but never restores.

Currently using xposed /smart network. I have autosync disabled with screen off. I'd like to go a step further, but I guess not disable autosync completely. I'd like to keep push notifications (especially hangouts and gmail) active, and maybe have the stock Samsung email client update periodically (maybe every 2h, but this isn't too important). Everything else I want to update automatically, but only when the app is opened (contacts, calendar, fb, etc). What's the best way to achieve this?
If you want to selectively update apps, edit their settings separately.
Just for example, you can set yahoo application "not to sync automatically" until you open the application.
For your case, you want calander and all other stuff to sync periodically, go to settings - > accounts
Select google
Uncheck the undesired.

Was hoping not to do do each app separately, especially since many don't listen. If I uncheck the Google Apps, will they still sync when I open them?
Yes. You have a refresh option to sync the app when you are inside it say Google Calendar.
... But it won't sync automatically when I open the app.
Try trigger application. http://techpaver.com/trigger-automate-tasks
This might automate your syncing. Select wifi as a trigger. Whenever you are connected to wifi network, then only auto sync will take place automatically,otherwise it won't autosync.

I had a similar thought using tasker, but can't figure out how to do it.I'd like to create a profile that runs at a certain time of day while on a/c, enables sync of calendar, contracts, dropbox, etc, and then disables synching to those accounts.
For this you have to use a more powerful app, tasker. It takes a/c as a trigger
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, I was able to figure it out using tasker.
Got my new Pixel XL and everything is great, except none of my Google App Data is syncing (most notably my saved WiFi networks because that's easiest to check). Additionally, my Google Keyboard personal dictionary will not show up on my phone. I have no sync errors, all sync settings/accounts have been checked, forcefully synced, removed/re-added, etc. Standard troubleshooting stuff.
The issue is not just the Pixel. Two weekends I wiped my Nexus 5X and gave it to my buddy so he could take Android for a test drive (considering the jump from iOS). I use my Nexus 6 for my G Suite work phone, so while waiting for my Pixel to ship I just created a second profile on the Nexus 6 for my personal account. I experienced the same sync issue there as well. I chocked it up to running multiple profiles (I've heard Google Keyboard struggles with multiple profile dictionaries, especially business profiles) and just sucked it up until the Pixel arrived.
Well now here it is and I'm still not syncing, so does anyone know how I can fix this? I've never had an issue in the past, I'd log in on a new phone and all of my stuff would be waiting for me.
Side note: I spent an hour chatting with Pixel support this morning about this issue, even though it's not a Pixel issue, I thought I'd see what the support is all about. What a joke.
I'm wondering if this has anything to do with Nougat. Android Backup Service has never failed me until Nougat. Starting to lose hope that my data is recoverable.
I have similar problem with Google keyboard sync, primary I use personal Gmail account and as secondary Gmail work account. When I remove work account and reinstall Google keyboard sync start to work until I add Gmail work account... I don't understand where's the problem with it...

Interesting data point.
I don't think the issue is Nougat. I added a few words/shortcuts to my dictionary on my Pixel XL, and then ran the sync on my car's Android 5.1 head unit and the words did not sync. (Neither do my saved networks). I don't know how to get support on this. No one knows what I'm talking about most of the time, there's no official support;I can't just call up Google. Pixel support is really only good for helping me figure out how to power on my phone. I was hoping they might have some connections but it's just typical lackluster support.

It's because Google Keyboard doesn't support sync with GSuite accounts But I don't know how use two accounts, one GSuite and second free and connect the app to the free account. Any idea?
BTW f*ck Google when it takes more usability to free users that to paying...
