I'm trying to sync my laptop with Galaxy s2.

It seems that it does not sync all the entries. for example I cant find, on my phone, by typing in the awesome bar. what i know should have synced to my phone from my laptop.

I typed in my phone a title of a webpage that was visited 6 months ago or older. It did not find it. Only after I revisited the page on my dekstop and then synced again(on my desktop first), did I find it on my phone..

what is wrong? please help!'

This stuff is complicated, there are always problems.

The mobile versions don't get a full sync for history. It is limited due to the more limited storage space available on mobile devices vs. the huge hard drives which are common on laptop / desktop devices these days. IIRC, 3 months is the limit for browsing history synchronization. AFAIK, there's no way to change that limitation now.
