I just went through this on my Thunderbolt.
It's usually an issue with corrupted contact or calendar.
To fix it you have to turn off syncing automatic. Then manually try syncing one by one all the Google services. When you get to the one that causes the force close, turn syncing off. Go to settings... applications... clear data and cache for the offending app, then clear data and cache for Google services framework... force stop them if they're running. Reboot your phone. Try syncing again.
That worked for me.

That's not reassuring - I had this problem earlier this week. It's the reason I was jumping back and forth between ROMs and bricking my phone in the process. Hahaha. No matter what I did the crashes would persist.
Anyways, my resolution was to do a factory reset since /data was the only partition that never got wiped when switching ROMs. I haven't had any issues since. I restored all my apps with data with TiBu. I left all the system settings alone and input my settings manually.
But, when I did notice these issues start occurring it was only after I got a random soft reboot. My phone was just sitting on the counter when I heard the bootup sound.

Funny you mention this, because I noticed one of my contacts disappeared when I switched to this phone. Turns out two of my contacts somehow automagically merged together. It was still like that after I wiped /data, but I fixed it manually.
To the OP, it's something worth looking into. If it matters, the two contacts were my dad and bro. It's the same last name and the first names start with the same letter, but in no way are they similar.

Something is corrupting your calendar or contacts.
Do you know which is the culprit?
It's tedious, but if you do, go through each contact or calendar entry that syncs and find the offending one.
You didn't make it initially clear that you'd also turned off syncing and cleared the data in something beyond google services. If you skipped that, all you're doing is trying to repush the bad data on your phone back to the server, which pukes at the attempt and crashes your phone's services.

If you're coming from an HTC sense phone, I think the problem might be related to how it tries to link contacts. Every time I put a new install or rom on my Thunderbolt, the first thing the HTC sense stuff wants to do is link all my google contacts to the phone contacts. What's odd about that is the contacts on the phone come from Google in the first place, so what's the linking needed for?
Another thing I forgot to mention, the phone would crash doing basically anything with calls/SMS, and none of my services were synching properly. Only when I received a call or SMS would my GVoice SMS and GMail update.

I agree, it is an odd scenario. Even more odd, I was coming from pure Android with my Moto Droid on CM7. I never had a phone with an overlay nor did I link multiple Google contacts together, and I hadn't encountered this problem before when switching between ROMs on that or my NOOKcolor. This is actually the first Android device I've had where the contacts could be saved on the phone, but I still prefer to sync everything to the cloud.
I'm just glad my phone is running smooth again and hope the same for the OP.

When I turned on Auto Sync. I get the message, "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". I can't sync my contacts at all. I also tried Contacts Sync Fix(app), and thay didn't seem to help.
Please any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm not so sure about that. Can you check the date the sync was last successful? My sync date on my Galaxy S3 was a few months old (in Feb I think). I think (at least I) am running into the problem described in http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=42641. I tried a few suggestions there like clearing out my contacts data etc. And then I deleted my account and recreated it and the problem is worse now. I don't get a last successful sync date at all anymore. No errors. But no syncing either. I can create new dummy records and it will eventually (a few minutes later sync). And changes I make on the phone will also eventually reflect in the cloud. Meanwhile no problems syncing on my Nexus 10. But if I change a real record (possibly a Google+ account), it never syncs up.

Well I removed my google account yesterday and re added it and now everything syncs up fine. My last sync time was about 5 minutes ago. It syncs constantly throughout the day since I use G+.
I have the same problem. If I clear the contacts data, it'll sync but only once. If I add something on my phone or on the website, the sync won't work again until I re-delete the contacts data again.
I have this for about 3 weeks now. I even reinstalled the ROM, but not helped.
Acer E350 with Android 4.0.3 (with 5 different updates, even with the first version). Everything worked correctly until May 15.
I solve this problem, I think...
Google Account Dashboard -> Account -> Security, I deleted all (mobile) apps*connections to my account, then deleted my Google Apps account on Android and reinstalled it. Now I can access everything again!

I've been having this issue for the past week and can't seem to fix. I've gone to Settings and deleted cache and data, Google contacts will resync and bring the contacts back, but then a short time later, they are gone. I've done this about a hundred times already. I've also gone and deleted duplicate contacts, installed an app to fix broken contacts, all to no avail. I don't know what else to do at this point, very frustrating. I'm having this issue on different roms that I flash.

I'm a little late to the game here, having recently acquired a One, but this fix worked perfectly for me. So far it's been a few hours and the sync still refreshes without issue. Kudos.

I can't find this settings. Does anyone know where this settings is at? This sync error is heavily draining my battery.
Hi guys,
I've searched for this problem all over, but can't find anything about it.
I have had this problem for some time now, and occurs again and again.
Gmail, Drive and sometimes calendar get stuck while syncing on my device. Doesn't matter if I'm on data or WiFi. With Google Drive it often happens after I've updated a Google Sheet. Even though I don't exit the document before it says that it is saved, it somehow keeps on syncing in the background. I just found out when I got home from work after a 20 min drive, and when I went into settings and Google, the wheel next to Drive was spinning. The phone had been awake all the way home. The only way to stop it temporarily is by disabling and enabling sync for that specific app or generally.
I have absolutely no clue, what could cause these situations. I have tried clearing data and cache for those apps, but it hasn't helped.
Anyone had this happen as well?
Cheers

Have you tried removing your google accounts? Followed by clearing data for all the troubling apps, clearing data for google play services, and google system frameworks? I would suggest you do all those things, restart your phone, and add your google accounts back. You are not by any chance dropping data connections are you?

Haven't tried removing the google account, but tried the other things you suggested.
Yesterday I also cleared dalvik cache. Will see if that makes any difference before removing the google account.
I don't think that my phone has dropped the data connection at any time, at least it doesn't look like it. Why would that have an impact? Wouldn't it just continue syncing when the connection was reestablished?

If you do drop data connection I BELIEVE the offending apps will keep trying to reconnect and resync thus holding wakelocks. You can check and see if you dropped data by looking at the battery stats built into the os. Where it says mobile network data, if you see red, it means you lost signal. I doubt this is your problem, but it is something that can sometimes cause a problem. I'm willing to bet clearing data for the offending apps AND removing your google account, restarting and adding back will fix the problem. Quite sometime ago, back in the gingerbread days, I used to have a similar problem. With gmail, sometimes I would try and send a message, and it would just get "stuck" and never send and drain the battery, where in hours it would go from full charge to 0. This is why I believe you may have some bad files and they just won't sync on the phone and or they are creating a conflict somehow with what's on google's servers

In that case, I'm sure that my connection wasn't dropped. Well at least not for more than a second, because the last time the wake lock occurred, I was actively using my phone to browse the web after the wake lock started but before I realized it was there...
I will let you know, if this keeps it from happening :fingers-crossed:

Clearing dalvik cache didn't help. Gmail just tried syncing for almost 2 hours with no success.
How will removing the Google account and clearing data for Google Play Services and Google System Frameworks influence my phone? Will it reset my home screen or do anything else?

Also clear data for gmail and all the google apps you are having issue with.
Google play services and Google system frameworks also contain some information about your account, and you want to completely wipe any remnants of your account from your system, so that's why I say remove your google account and also delete data for these apps. Your homescreen, widgets etc will not be touched. Your apps will all still be there.

Okay, thanks. I hope it works :good:
Okay, guys, here's the problem. I have been pulling my hair out for days over this. On any Lollipop ROM I install, no matter what combination of gapps and AOSP ROM I install on my OPO, after completely and totally formatting caches, system, data, and /data/media, the problem persists:
Always after logging into an account, but not always the same one, I start to get an error "android.process.acore has stopped." It happens every few seconds and renders the device unusable. I have tried every fix I could find online, including wiping contacts storage data, contacts data, etc. I have formatted my phone several times, and each time the problem comes back. It only stops when I disable Contacts Storage in settings, which then in turn disables all contacts functionality.
This is getting totally ridiculous, and the only thing I can think of is that the AOSP version of contactsprovider.apk is totally corrupt. Any ideas?
I have the same problem... Did you succeed in resolving it?

Somewhat. The issue manifests itself when Facebook is synced with your contacts, and you use Facebook OAuth to sign into another app. For whatever reason, this causes the contacts app to go nuts, and the only way to fix it once it happens is to get rid of the Facebook app. It's a bug that is quite beyond me to fix. There is a modded Facebook apk floating around somewhere, that has had permissions modded so it's not allowed to use your contacts or register as an account in your phone. That works. It also works if when you install a new ROM, you sign into any apps that use your Facebook login before you install the Facebook app, that way you log into them with the browser and they never talk to the contacts app. Once you have installed the Facebook app, DO NOT EVER click "Sign in with Facebook" in any app on your phone, or you're screwed again.
That's pretty much what I've come up with thus far. Hope that helps.
EDIT: Here's the link to the thread with the modded Facebook apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333637
I have the same issue on all CM12 based roms. It seems to happen for users with many contacts (hundreds). Uninstalling facebook seems to fix the problem for me. I have no such problems on my Nexus 5 with the same setup and facebook installed, so I wonder if it's not something specific to the bacon CM12 code.

Oh yeah I've been trying to figure this out since cm12 unofficially came out for the note 4. Like all of you said it's fine for a while or sometimes it's messed up right away. I've had it work for two or three days then out of nowhere just have the error pop-up and never go away. Disabling google contacts storage also got rid of the error for me but of course I can't have the phone without google contacts and sync. This last time it happened just by downloading and signing into Dropbox, which isn't related to Facebook at all. This is belong frustrating because nobody seems to have a fix and it's the only thing stopping me from using cm 12. Is there any Dev that can help or work on this with a logcat?

I didn't find one...
I talked about this problem in xda temasek rom thread and ak kernel thread without success. I even sent a message on official cyanogenmod website, with last crash and logcat attached. No success. The problem happened in 2012 too... And since then, Google didn't have a solution for it.
It seems that Google is finally aware about this problem and the correction could arrive in "a future version"... Well. I want it now... Indeed, there seems to be only to increase the buffer transaction between applications and contact storage from 1MB to 2MB for example, to have it corrected. But no dev wants to do it because the problem cannot be reproduced! And it's rare! But we have it! It's incredible to have it back after a full wipe... And happening randomly, just after a random sync between application and Android system...
Any more updates on this issue/ anything else we can do to get this resolved? Even my partial, temporary solutions have stopped working, and I am getting really frustrated.
Glad to see I'm not the only one here with this issue. Took different search terms to eventually land me here since this such an old and somewhat common issue. Nonetheless... Same problem. OnePlus One running Temasek CM12. Disabling contacts storage.... Blah blah blah. Its rather disappointing there's no actual solution instead of a workaround. But, I'm finally happy to know its Facebook. An app I rarely use but do need unfortunately.
Edit: wondering if anyone has had any luck fastboot flashing the factory image? I know it's a pain in the ass to have to back up all your files, etc off the device so I'd like to know if anyone has had success or even tried this. Cuz, I really won't feel satisfied until I've resorted to this last measure if there's the possibility of eradicating the problem.

I initially had this problem when I switched to lollipop, not sure how it fixed itself but I'm guessing it's the contacts sync like you posted here; only the first time I accidentally synced Fb contacts, and due to the massive number of friends on it, it crashed. But you can disable any sort of sync services on Fb and continue using the app for everything else, I've had no issues since.
Do you mean luck with fixing this issue after flashing the factory image or only returning to stock? Because I've had no issues returning to stock from lollipop by flashing the factory images through fastboot.

I meant with flashing the factory image via fastboot to stop the frustratingly obnoxious pop ups of the process stopping (w/o uninstalling FB). You answered my question.
So, get this... Resolved the error by uninstalling Facebook. Today I picked up a Moto 360 and you HAVE to install Motorola Connect to really personalize the device... Once I allowed it to see my Google+ account info the android.process.acore started again. I'm SO annoyed. Gonna try a factory reset again and see if that helps. The only way to stop it is to uninstall Motorola Connect and that really sucks cuz I want to (of course) mess with my watch. I know nothing of Android Wear yet or how to root, etc the 360 so.... Here I go. Boldly. Lol
I'm just curious why I haven't seen more people having this issue. It's been plaguing me now for almost 2 weeks. I'm ready to throw my Bamboo OPO out the effing window. WTF.

It's mostly not because of lollipop, but might be the app itself, I read a few others having this problem on other forums with HTC, the solution they found was to clear data on contacts storage. Give that a try and see if it works, if not I'd suggest going back to Stock or probably the new OxygenOS which is supposed to be out by now. Check out @timmaaa index thread in the general section, it has all the necessary stock images you need. Report back and let us know if it fixed the issue for you

Yea, I tried clearing contacts storage numerous times to no avail. I can live without the app... At first I thought it was a requirement to change watch faces... But, I do have a backup of stock, rooted but I can't go back to KK after being so used to LP. I'm def going to jump on Oxygen just to try it out but I'm guessing I'll end up running stock CM12s. I can't wait. I'd much rather have a stock (w/root of course) or mostly stock device that actually works completely.

The bug has been corrected by Google themselves with Android 5.1. Finally!.. So, like me, just try omni 5.1 or last cm12.1 unofficial and the error has gone! So good to use my phone.... Hmmm... How to say... Normally... Lol.

Very nice. Glad to hear this... Xposed isn't compatible with 5.1 yet, right?
Two things to try…
Go into settings/apps , press the menu button and select "reset app preferences". Reboot
You Can also try entering the following in your commands:
Su (enter)
Killall rild (enter)
reboot
Should have read the entire post, glad that has been fixed by google, I experienced the same thing and it's a huge pain in the butt.

No. Not yet. But. Well. CM12 is already good functionality wise. And with this bug disappeared it's really a happiness.

Neither worked but thanks for the suggestion. I did find a Facebook work around. Found the Lite Version via a Google search (since its technically not available in the US) , installed it and it works fine. No android.process.acore FC's or repeated pop ups.
Update: This problem reared its ugly head again on CM12 and I ended up having to uninstall Twitter this time. So, now I'm on CM12s and as soon as I logged into my other Google account user Boxers email app I got the android.process.acore crash again. Uninstalling that app immediately stopped it. God I can't wait for 12.1 for our OPOs. This problem is absolutely ridiculous. I can't take this anymore. I really can't use ANY social media apps unless its like Tinfoil for FB or Twitter. I don't have any connected accounts except Google & Cyanogen.. Which I truly can live without but... Just for the hell of it.... Knowing I have a backup and I'm about to clean flash the latest stock build I tried to add Waze and it caused the crash all over again. Uninstalling Waze didn't help. I shouldn't have to deal with this. Only way to stop it is to disable contacts storage. Once it begins it doesn't stop. Effing Google with their half baked crap.
I have had the Note 8 for about 2 weeks now and earlier this week I just started noticing the freezing problem with the contacts and messages application. I have tried clearing data/cache. I have tried going into safe mode and removing third party apps. I have factory reset my phone as well. I have noticed that holding the contact down to select it will work, but simply tapping it freezes the phone. This goes for both the default messages and contacts apps.

The contact app is the same for both messaging and phone. It's a stand alone app. I've seen a few people with this issue, and am curious what causes it. I have had no issues with my so my guess is it has something to do with your setup.
Take a look at the below and see if any work
1.) What version of Contacts is in stalled on your phone?
I'm running v 3.4.04.4 Contacts and v 1.0.01.25 contacts storage. If you are not on either of those go grab the APK from APK MIRROR
2.) Check your account settings
Start with you Google account and see if there is a sync error. If not there then check Samsung cloud. If not there check your sync settings in the contact app. If there is any issue syncing it could be causing the crash.
3.) see if all of your contacts cause it to crash or just a specific one.
It could be an issue with something one app is trying to add to your contacts. I've seen linked in cause contacts to crash, and I've seen Facebook cause contacts to crash. If either of those are syncing with your contacts (check permissions) they could be causing the issue.
4.) Finally back on my S7 edge for some reason the contacts sync got jacked up when moving from my Note 4. The only thing that fixed it was running this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.ivary.ContactsSyncFix) Haven't had an issue since.
If any of these work let me know so we can help spread the word. Thanks.

Hi. I had similar problem. Try find solutions on web, none. Complaint to samsung facebook, no response. So I decided to;
1. Do System Update... but it says I have the latest installed already.
2. Open PlayStore, found out I set Auto Update to OFF. So I manually update everything (except Games apps)
3 Open Galaxy Store also Auto Update turned OFF. So do manual update everything (except games again)
4 Restart Phone
Dont know which steps solved it, but I dont have issue with Contacts or Message anymore. Its been more than 3 days now... no issue. So I guess you can try the above and see if it helps.
Its started to happen to me but while im in a game not on the phone or messenger.

If it's in game and not the contacts app try adjusting your performance mode in Gamer Tuner.
If it's not that then the game is probably the issue.

Hi folks, had an issue with my camera/torch on my U11. I've had it for about 3 yrs and no troubles. It began crashing with the message "Unable to load the camera" and the torch icon was greyed out. I could see the samera dialog when I pressed the "Clear All" button, but it woul;dn't activate. The tech looked at it and said I could try a factory reset to see if that solves the problem, otherwise they could burn several hours troubleshooting software or replacing the camera, if that was the problem.
I have everything backed up on my Google account, messages, contacts, apps etc, so I tried the factory reset. Had some issues with Google Play crashing initially, once I got past the language change. The app crashed several times before I finally got it to load. Not wanting to restore everything at once, I skipped the step to restore apps from back up and data and went right to the clean phone. Now, when I try and open Google Play Store (or add a Google Account or anything Google), the app crashes just as it gets to the login screen. I've tried re-booting, clearing the cache, disabling the Boost+ as someone suggested in another forum, re-started, checked notifications and permissions but nothing seems to work...time for a new phone or does anyone have any ideas... thanks. Chris

I removed the micro-SD external storage and turned off the WiFi and it connected. Still no camera or torch/flashlight, which is why I went through the whole exercise to begin with. At least I can now log into Google (Play Store, GMail, accounts, etc)....

Thanks bud...while I am capable of going the DIT route, I'm time poor and have already burned a number of hours just getting to the point where I can now at least log in to my Google accounts to re-install apps and such. I will need a camera going forward, but will likely take the easy route that most camera makers prefer and buy a new one...I appreciate you taking your time to reply. Thanks!!
