I just tried the exact same thing one more time; nothing changed.

It worked!

With that, the issue is solved. I have no idea how though; it doesn't make sense.

Both phones run the same 35.0.2070-version. It appears that even pages visited/the cache has been synced. I can start writing URLs of pages I visit often and Opera will suggest specific sites that I haven't visited on my new phone. So there has been some activity.

Unfortunately, no bookmarks. I tried to delete the unit to force a new sync - to no avail.

The screenshot I started this discussion with, on the right side, "Sony Z3+" - it says "other speed dials" in Norwegian. It's the preferences you talk about, right? I first thought you mean something else, assuming you'd recognise the screen.

But...this is the screenshot I provided above. It's THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBE. Or am I missing something here?

Thanks - but...how do I do that? There are no clickable options anywhere here.

I have just switched from a half-broken Samsung S4 Active to a brand spanking new Sony Z3+. I'd love to move my start tiles etc over to the new phone, as they are many. After creating an account, there appears to be some syncing activity on the old phone. Unfortunately, nothing shows up on the new phone:

Any idea what the trouble might be?
