A few tips before posting:
If sync is not working, first log out and log in again.
If that doesn't do the trick then please submit a bug report with the following information:
username of the account you tried to sync,
error message shown (if any),
a screenshot of vivaldi://sync-internals and the Sync settings page on vivaldi://settings/sync/ can help or
click on Dump Status on vivaldi://sync-internals and send us the content that appears in a small box below the button,
time when it happened,
detailed steps to reproduce the issue.
In case you create a topic about your issue, please also share the VB number you receive via email here so we can quickly follow it up.
@vizentin I prefer not to use sync via the web browser, because I have far too many bookmarks in the desktop browser versus what is on my phone.
I'll just have to use the mobile version as is.
@prascal Good advice is to always backup important data. Sync is not a backup tool. File menu, Export Bookmarks at least, but archive all important Vivaldi data (custom thumbs, blog posts, etc.) and copy it to the cloud and to removable USB sticks.
@mtaki14 BINGO!!! Man you good! Yes, problem was in this "NOT OBVIOUS FOR THIS PROBLEM" mark.
Need to mark save password when auth on all machines. Problem is gone. But, team, this is realy not ovibous for this problem, save password this is not autologin, Rename save password to autologin!
Ok, so you're able to load the sync page itself though, without crashing. Avoid clicking on that tab for now. You should still be able to see they events are happening on the main page. Screenshot...
The box below the Trigger GetUpdates button will show events similar to that screenshot above, it starts blank when you load the page the first time.
Edit:
Grrr, I'm getting an error when uploading the screenshot
Edit #69:
Got the image working
This might not be helpful, but after probably more than an hour of fiddling around with things, I managed to "solve" this sync/credential problem, although unfortunately I'm not sure which step did the trick.
Uninstalled/reinstalled on Android --> problem still existed
tried to view sync settings on desktop --> was unable to login (this 404 error)
signed out of Vivaldi account/signed back in with my master password (frustratingly different than my "regular" password) --> problem seemed solved. but who knows if it was actually just a matter of waiting for time to pass because servers were overloaded or something, I suppose...
Finally! After a few days of running these long syncs and crashing them out shy some point, I babysat three sync process once again, and kept it going without delays so it went much faster. This time it didn't crash the app at the very end and my bookmarks successfully downloaded & uploaded as you can see in the screenshot below.
Now it's time to turn the other sync data back on and have that sync. This should be much easier however, only ~50k changes I think, 800k fewer than this was.
I am still interested in figuring out if there is anything I should do to trim down that size, and what the 886,000 changes were when that's >8 times the number of bookmarks. I also think that splitting the sync into smaller units that get persisted on the device would alleviate this problem to a significant degree. I'll dig into this more tomorrow or over the weekend.
@Larry1949 Ypu can use Vivaldi Sync to synchronize the bookmarks between PC and laptop.

@Ayespy Thank you.
It is a pity since so it's bug by design. In fact, you can't remove/rearrange anything in your synced data unless ALL your devices are online.
@Amarsingha10 You are welcome.
Please, read this article,
We were advised to ask the user to submit a bug report.
@Amarsingha10 said in Facing a bit of problem to get synchronized and phone verification.:
The encryption password option didn't appear as you told.
The encryption password is not mandatory, however is highly recommended to define it.
Last but not least, @LonM is partially correct. The procedure is: if the user can not connect during 5 or 6 hours is to {{report}} a bug.
Edited: grammar
Hi,
@Acada said in Half sync?:
the switching tabs
I don't think I understand what you mean here?
Sync will work with remote tabs (the ones you have open on other devices), and will show them in the cloud () menu next to the closed tabs menu ().
But it won't actually open tabs in the tab strip for switching.
