This is not helping at all. I want to see the same speed dial tiles on my android phone as on my laptop. I thought that's what sync meant.

I still don't understand. When two devices are synced I expect to see exactly the same thing on both devices. The speed dial tiles on my laptop (Windows 7) do not appear on my phone (htc one m8 android 4) even though both devices are synced. I never really use bookmarks I use speed dial frequently.
