[Q] [i9020t] Stock Browser won't synchronize with Google account

---

Hi everyone,

I understand this issue was reported by users on the Motorola Xoom, and my issue is similar. On Android 4.0.3 (stock, official) for the Nexus S, I cannot seem to synchronize my browser bookmarks and settings.

I tried deleting my information stored on my Google Dashboard, and signing into Chrome on Desktop again, then synchronizing from my handset. I also tried deleting cache and app data, then synchronizing again. Still, no luck. I can synchronize Chrome Beta for Android, but not the stock browser. What can I do?

I appreciate everyone's help!

PS, I'm not allowed to post images yet, but I can describe the fact that under my Accounts & Sync settings, there is an exclamation mark next to "Sync Browser" with the description, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."

Try disabling encryption on your google account sync.

I went to my Chrome settings: Options>Personal Stuff>Sign In>Advanced and tried to select "Encrypt Passwords" instead of "Encrypt All Personal Data," but couldn't. Is this my issue?

I had the same problem and I think that I disabled Encrypt All Personal Data.
Try and see what will happen.

I deleted my (desktop) Chrome data from my Google Dashboard, and then I was somehow able to sign into (desktop) Chrome again with the option to "Encrypt Passwords" instead of "Encrypt All Synced Data."

On Android, my bookmarks now synchronize with the stock browser properly. Thanks!
