Hi
First time question about how do I load my internet favorite short cuts onto the G Tablet ?
I tried doing it with a UBS mini drive & thought they went but did not find them on the GTablet.
This is no problem moving them from desk top to lap top & sharing them with friends.
Your suggestions please.
Thanks !!
Are you talking about bookmarks? If so, I just synced my Google Bookmarks with Dolphin HD. Got this from another forum and it worked perfectly:
First, you need the "Bookmarks to SD" add-on for Dolphin, available from the market. Download and install it.
Open Dolphin then Menu > More > Settings > Add-ons Management > Bookmarks to SD
Select Sync from the top of the screen and then choose the first option to sync Dolphin bookmarks to Gmail.
Sign in to your Gmail account and the Dolphin bookmarks are sent to your account.
Then choose the second option to sync Gmail bookmarks to your stock web browser.
Exit Dolphin and add the LauncherPro bookmarks widget to a homescreen.
From any homescreen choose Menu > Preferences [not Settings] > LP Widget Settings > Bookmarks Widget > Get missing thumbnails.
Your phone will now grab thumbnails for your bookmarks.
On the LaucherPro bookmarks widget, press the sync icon at the bottom of the screen and all Dolphin bookmarks are now scrollable in the LP widget

I am not looking to do this from a phone but from my desktop to a USB thumb drive to the GTab, if possible.
Any ideas out there ?
Thanks.

You can do this directly from a desktop to your Gtab using the method I posted above. No need for a thumb drive.
I am really wondering if there might be a simpler way to do this ?
If I put them onto a SD mini drive from my desktop, which is Window, & use the SD mini drive in the GTablet will it recognize this Windows based info & install it ?
Thanks !!
Not sure. You can give it a shot. I found the other way pretty simple and it only took me a couple of minutes.

You don't say what browser you are using on tab or PC. If you use Firefox on both there is a sync app.

You dont need any app to sync if you have firefox on both. The sync is built into both the desktop and mobile versions of the browser.
Before I updated my tab with touchwiz my bookmarks were synced with chrome. I updated the tab last night but my bookmark folder is still empty. This feature seems to be broken. Any suggestions?
I have the same issue.
Bookmarks are all f'ed up with Touchwiz.
I had the same issues as you guys but a simple Clean Cache/Data and Force Close on the Browser application from Settings fixed it. Do that and reenter your sync settings.
However, you may notice, that even though it is syncing properly, you now have to Click on Bookmarks, then Google Chrome, then Bookmarks again to access the folder. It's redundant and quite annoying. That feature is one of the most important features to me and may lead me to taking out TW altogether. =/
have same problem here
syncing takes hours or days ! and they dont sync entirely
too bad we're not able to just import from HTML or JSON
ChromeMarks is useless
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am still having trouble. After clearing cache and data from browser and force closing. I reopen the browser and my Google sync info is still there and won't make me re-enter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Same here! WTF! Noone else experiencing this?!
I had the exact same issue. Only way I could fix it was to restore to default settings, and I did not sync with chrome. I just made all of my book marks manually. Really sucks. I was also having trouble with my Browser widget all book marks went away. The are all back now after manually creating my bookmarks.
bookmark Sync
Hi I am still having trouble importing Chrome's bookmarks to my touchwiz browser. My honeycomb stock browser (b4 the upgrade) had no problem importing Chrome's bookmarks. I tried clearing cashe, cookies, and form data but still not able to import Chrome's bookmarks. Help!
+ 1 same for me.
I've been messing around with trying to get my bookmarks to sync and I finally got EVERYTHING! It took some time and I can't guarantee this will work for others.
I went through clear out the cache in browser and Google Bookmark syncs under settings>applications. I set up the sync again and after giving it some time (about an hour) bookmarks started showing up. I noticed half my folders missing so I created couple of the ones I knew and forced a sync in settings>account and sync . After a few minutes I noticed that my desktop browser had the new folders and they were empty, so I went into the bookmark manager on the desktop and start moving the bookmarks from folder A (desktop browser folder) to folder b (what I created on the tablet). After hitting sync a few times on the tablet everything was there.
I tried this twice just to see if I can get everything and it worked both times.
Hopefully this could help out others, just have some patience, took me couple hours to get everything (hundreds of bookmarks).

Hi nakedninja42, a question for you. Did your Chrome bookmark folders show up in your Tab's browser too? or just standalone bookmarks?

All my folders showed up. Something I noticed is that my Bookmark Bar folders ALWAYS transferred but not all the links inside. The ones that would not transfer were the ones I had recently modified.
The folders found in "Other Bookmarks" only half would appear, so in my frustration, I added a couple of missing folders on the tablet and dropped a link in one just to see what happens, hit sync and look at my desktop browser and noticed they were there. I had two folders on my Desktop browser (one original and one new), so I moved the links from the old folder to the new one. After that, things just started syncing.
I feel like it doesn't like to sync new links, but after dealing with all that hassle, I finally have them all.
I recommend to do an export of your browser links just to back it up. That saved my butt first time going through this cause I messed up all my links.
Bookmarks are also not syncing for me. The folders show on the tab but they are empty. The sync icon under accounts and sync, google acct, browser appears "stuck." Iv'e cleared browser data, uncheck then check sync and nothing is working. Im just going to let it be for a few days and see what happens i guess.
This worked for me...YMMV
After having no luck clearing data from both the browser and bookmark sync apps I decided to stop linking from my desktop version of Chrome. Then went into the Google dashboard and clicked on "stop sync and delete data from google" under the Chrome Sync section. Then re-established sync from the desktop browser. Finally, enabled in the 10.1 browser and bookmarks showed up. Sounds complicated but only took about 5 minutes.

Hmmm, I've been wondering what the connection between the browser and the tablet. Sounds like the dashboard is what I've been looking for. I felt that so thing between the two devices syncing was something hold back because it needs purge. Thanks for the post, might be the easiest solution, mine takes hours!

Sounded good in theory but unfortunately did not work for me. Same issue where the sync icon gets stuck and the folders sync but they are empty with no bookmarks. Thanks for the suggestion though.
No go for me as well. Hopefully there will be a patch to fix this.
Home button?
I had the same issue with bookmarks syncing but performed the same cache clear as nakedninja42 and the bookmarks are currently syncing. I first cleared everything in the browser setting options, forced closed, then went to the system settings and cleared all browser application contents from there as well.
Another issue...where the heck is the "Home" button for the browser? It's nice to hit that just to go back to my iGoogle page but it's either been removed or I'm blind.
Thanks!
I still have zero bookmark as well. This problem began after the 180MB firmware update. The I don't think I've received the 3MB (the latest?), but I'm running kernel 2.6.36.3, stock rom FWIW. Have deleted cache, unsynced, resynced to no avail.
I got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 last week and set up bookmark syncing with my Google account. Now, every time I open a bookmark on my tablet it moves it to the end of my bookmark bar on Chrome. For example, ESPN is the first bookmark in Chrome, on the far left. If I use the bookmark folder on my Tab and open ESPN when I go back to my PC ESPN will be all the way at the far right. The same thing happens to folders I have in my Bookmarks Bar, the entire folder moves all the way to the right. I have sync set up on Chrome and it doesn't matter which computer I use, the same thing happens. I move them back on my PC, but as soon as I open them with the Tab they go back to the end on my computer. The Tab is running the TouchWiz update, I never used it without so I can't say if it happened before the update or not.
I've searched around and while there seems to be some sync issues, no one has mentioned anything like this. I'd tried an Iconia and Transformer and neither caused this issue. It seems minor, but it's quite frustrating!
anyone have ideas?
same problem here...
I've been looking for something that I don't think exists...What I want is a shortcut to just to start Chrome in the 'bookmark' page. I don't want any of the bookmark widgets for the home screen - if you have more than a few bookmarks those become useless anyway.
Does such an animal exist? Or is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?
If you close all the open pages before you close Chrome then when you open it you should get the start page, which will be on the tab you previously had it on. I leave mine on either bookmarks or the sync page and it always starts new pages on the same tab.
I don't know if this is a KitKat issue or because I restored apps with TB. When I try to add bookmarks using the Bookmarks Widget, There are no bookmarks there. I usually use Desktop Visualizer to add customized shortcuts to the launcher but no bookmarks are showing up there either. This is obviously a system wide issue. The bookmarks show up normally in the stock browser and chrome bookmarks are all showing up. I can add bookmarks directly from chrome or the stock browser but I want to get the system bookmark issue fixed.
Update:
So I thought the Bookmark Widget was a stock feature but it appears that it was added when Chrome was installed. The issue was with Chrome but I'm still not sure why it wasn't working. I cleared Data and Cache then uninstalled Chrome. This deleted all bookmarks and then the problem was that Chrome wouldn't sync bookmarks. Finally after a few sign outs on the phone app and PC it finally started syncing. Now all bookmarks are showing up in the bookmark widget.
