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.

I will try this. Thanks for the suggestion

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..
help :angel:
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
I'm running on CF-Root + Siyah 1.2.6 kernel + stock ROM (+ modified NFC_screen off). ROM is XXLE8.
I've been using the stock email since the begining (with only root & stock rom) with 3 Exchange accounts synced.
Email app is taking forever to launch. Navigation in email app is laggy.
Whenever I want to move emails to subfolders, it takes ages to get the whole list.
I'm still running a Samsung Captivate Glide (Rogers ROM, root, OC @1.3GHz) with Android 2.3.5 : email stock app synced with these 3 exhange email accounts: it is clearly faster, no latency at all.
Even when it comes to load the same subfolders to move emails ...
Right now, it is really the worse "email user experience" I had.
Thought ICS would do better than that. :-(
Anybody else experiencing this ?
Is there any tweaks to make this app much, much faster ...
Is there a way to replace this "Samsung stock email app" (I guess) with the standard ICS one (only if it is faster) ?
Thanks
i have noticed none of the problems you experied with the email app. though i am only using it with one account synced. The app launches instandly and never lags or something similar, try removing 2 of your accounts and see if the problem is still there. its the only thing i can think of now, if the problem persists maybe another app you installed interferes with the email app and causes problems or...?

I removed one account ...same. Slow as "usual".
I remoed 2 accounts (only one left) ... same.
I wiped the whole device. Reset to factory defaults.
Loaded one Exchange account: email app was definitely faster.
Added a second one (Exchange) ... started to get slow ... Not as slow as it was, but slower.
Found a thread mentionning a way to replace Samsung stock email app with ICS email app. Going to try that...
Same very annoying problem here.
Any chance to get the stock nexus email apk here?
Hello,
I have a strange problem after my update to 4.1 in my browser. After the update the freeze problem in my browser was gone, unfortunatelly I saw, that it had some problems while loading pictures. Therefore I cleared the cache and all data - as told in this forum to solve the freeze problem (in combination with a cold boot).
After that, all bookmars were deleted (as expected), unfortunately now I have no possibility to get acces to my bookmarks on google. It shows only the section - Local -. Even Saving new bookmarks I can only choose to save them -Local-.
Next step was looking at the Settings for sync - strangely there was no option for syncing the bookmarks. I have the usual contact, calendar, Pisca, mail and so on... but no possibility to sync the bookmarks.
On my Galaxy everything works fine.
When I delete the cahce and all data again, the browser shows a short messsage that it connects to the bookmarks on google (with my account) for about 3-5 seconds- but it does not work.
Does anyone has any idea what to to?
Thank you very much in advance. If there is already a topic regarding this problem, I am sorry, I could not find it.
Regards, Sebastian

Doesn't work on my Galaxy Nexus too. I believe Google drop that feature, since the JB official browser is Chrome, and Chrome sync is working fine.
I also have a Prime and a Gnex. I'm running Bamf JB rom on Gnex and the stock browser has my bookmarks. But the prime does not, same with no option in the sync settings. Why is this gone?
CMarks from the market will restore this functionality :good:.

When you say JB official browser is chrome, do i have to download it from the play store? I find chrome from Google play slower than the stock browser
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.
