Hi, my wife's phone when searching in chrome does not provide any places when you do a web search in chrome. I.e. if you search for "home Depot near me"it won't show you nearby home Depot locations. It does however work normal if you use the Samsung internet browser which she is using for now. Does anybody know the cause of this? Is it a setting somewhere? I have cleared cache and even did a factory reset and the problem still persists.
Goto to Settings / Apps
scroll down to Chrome and select
Scroll to Permssions and make sure the Location check box is ticked

Okay so after plenty of trying to get Facebook's checkin feature working on Windows Mobile 6.5 using these methods:
Opera browser
Internet Explorer browser
Iris browser
Dorothy browser
XDAFacebook app
ZK Browser with Google Gears
what I found was... NONE OF THEM WORKED!
Finally I found that you can use Foursquare which will then update your Facebook for you:
1. Go to http://foursquare.com and sign up. On the signup page where you're asked to enter your email, etc be sure to click the Login with Facebook button
2. Once you have successfully joined, log in to Foursquare and go to Settings in the top right hand corner, scroll to the bottom and in the Linked Accounts section, tick Publish my check-ins to Facebook
3. Go here to download the WinMoSquare CAB
4. Install it on your device, ensure you have carrier data allowed, start WinMoSquare and log in to your Foursquare account
5. If you're somewhere random like your house or some other place that wouldn't be already entered into Foursquare then tap Add Venue. Otherwise just tap Check In. A list of locally-found locations comes up (the program uses your GPS to find your location). Tap a location then to actually check in, tap the name of the location again at the top
6. Now you can type in some words if you want them to appear with your Facebook update or you can leave it blank BUT for the checkin to appear on Facebook you have to tick BOTH Tell my friends and Send to Facebook
DONE, go check your Facebook updates!
Hi,
if I go to Add Venue, I got no keyboard for input.
Does it work on your phone?
Site seems broken. Login with facebook button doesnt do anything on both Chrome and Firefox....
EDIT: nevermind it is working now. Temporary error.
Seems, Mighty Lumpy .. ! '
Use MySquare instead of WinMoSquare. Mysquare is waaaaay better.
Anyone having trouble with the stock ICS browser not loading after enabling the quick controls in the labs menu? All I get is a white screen.
The google account sync also wont sync my browser settings, it keeps saying its experiencing problems.
Labs menu stuff is more of experimental stuff they testing out. A better alternative to stock browser is one called ICS+ browser. Its from the maker of thumb keyboard. Its really good and getting rave reviews right now. Athens maker made a thread in apps n themes section on it. plus it's free and plays flash. Does everything stick does n more, only better n faster. Another good one which is the fastest is Opera Mobile browser.
As far as Google bookmark syncs go, its been happening for a while now. Many people reported it not working right or doing like you said.
Here's how to fix the sync issue
I had a couple of sync issues prior to ICS, and the Browser sync issue after updating to ICS. Yo need to go to your google dashboard: www.google.com/dashboard while signed in on your google accout (the amount of data they have on your prefences for a dozen or so apps is freaking scary) Clear caches and settings in there, then clear the broser cache on TFP. If you can in the state yours is in, I cannot say. You MAY have to har reset or wipe to fix it, but it's not as bad as it used to be. If you have it set to backup your account, settings and market apps, you could have 95% of it back in an hour (I had 170 apps to reinstall, for a seperate issue) and then it's just setting a few prefs, good luck.

I corrected the bookmark sync issue by:
1. On the tablet, disable the sync in Settings > Accounts
2. Go to Google dashboard in Chrome on your PC https://www.google.com/dashboard/
3. Click Stop Sync and delete data from Gogole
4. Refresh the dashboard page until the deletion is complete
5. On the tablet, re-enable the bookmark sync
6. On the PC, sign in to your account in Chrome to start sync again

THIS order worked for me! As long as you don't sign into chrome before you check it on your TFP, it should work. Hope this helps other people
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
This is strange: Recently my Chrome app will crash 100% of the time I tap the search box to enter a query. The app itself will launch, I can change settings and make new tabs, but as soon as I try to type anything into search or URL bar the app instantly crashes.
The really weird part is, it ONLY does it if I use Google for the search provider. If I change to Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc then no crashing!
Corrupt setting somewhere? I am running CM10.1 on an HTC Rezound and the problem has only been happening for a week or two. I reverted from Chrome 37 back to 36 and it still exhibits the same behavior. I wiped Chrome settings with Titanium with no luck. Is there a different underlying app in the system that handles taps to the search box that I can wipe settings and see if it helps?
Thanks!
This has been driving me crazy.
I did a factory reset on my Moto Z Play (7.0). Whenever I open a web page via Assistant or Google Now or Gmail (as it defaults to Chrome) it just opens a blank page. I can't type onto the back, nor refresh. It just has the X at the top left and the three dots.
I've tried installing Chrome Dev, uninstalled updates on both, cleared cache and all data, and cleared phone cache on a reboot.
Any other ideas to try?
I'd use another browser but I think Assistant/Google Now forces to Chrome.
Never had the issue until I did the factory reset.
