Two problems on my Evo:
1) It is only syncing only a few of my folders, the others are empty.
To be more clear, it seems like all the parent folders are listed but the bookmarks within are what is missing.
I tried setting up sync on chrome on two different computers.
EDIT: Okay looking at the information within Google Docs what is there matches on the phone so it is not ChromeMarks fault, sorry.
Why isn't Chrome syncing everything then I wonder...
I can't answer that one myself. Personally I use Chrome on three different machines and Chromium on another. All these machines are running different versions of the software but all syncing the same account. I do notice that every now and then the bookmarks seem to be "stale". I've fixed it by disabling sync and then re-enabling it. This does seem to fix it, but a sprinkling of extra bookmarks suddenly get duplicated on all machines. I guess it's a failure somewhere in the process...? Please do let me know if you manage to fix this, or indeed what you try that makes no difference.
2) I keep getting "No network connection found" when I press sync. It is set to use 3G, not just Wi-Fi, I doubled checked and the internet is working in the phone. I just got home tried it and got the error. So I turned Wi-Fi on and it synced. I then turned Wi-Fi off and it synced.
The network issue is still there. Will this be addressed? Anyone else having this issue?
You're the first person to report problems with "no network found". As far as I know, I'm using a fairly standard way to check if there is an active connection - I actually lifted it line-for-line from the source code of the Stock Browser for Froyo. But that's no guarantee that it's reliable for other releases or devices. If you can send me a debug log with this error in it then I will be happy to see if there is anything I can change.
I found a new problem when tryng to edit or create a bookmark, it tries to sync but gives me an "Unexpected Responsetype: TRANSIENT_ERROR" I am on Wi-Fi just to try... Did the same on 3G after a phone reboot.
When Google returns a response type of "TRANSIENT_ERROR", this is the exact text in the documentation for it: "Something went wrong; try again in a bit". Now that ain't helpful at all (!) but the error comes back from Google itself so without them throwing me more of a bone, I don't know if/what I can do to help there. Sorry. If you can spot any kind of pattern, please do let me know.
Requests:
-Can you please add an option to leave the sort order alone?
-Can you add a way that we can create a shortcut to a folder?
-Can you allow smaller fonts in the lists?
1. Using the Google sort order will require storing even more data on the device. I've avoided doing this so far as I don't want to make a lumbering app. But I might be able to make an option where you can choose to have that extra info if you want and then the bookmarks/folders should be sorted the same as in your browser.
2. Yup, that's definitely on the todo list. But I don't know whether it should be a fancy widget (=new to me so might take a long time to code) or a simple shortcut to fire the app up in a specific folder?
3. Smaller fonts..? hmmm...I've had mails from users asking for the fonts to be made larger! All the fonts should be in dips, so the device res and screen shouldn't be an issue. But I could possibly make that another pref to choose the font size. I'll add it to the list.
Hope that helps!
