KNOWN ISSUE FOR UCLC4 leak ONLY (CONFIRMED):
1- Add a new contact in phone and add it as "Google contact" to your gmail.com account entered in phone.
2- Force a sync now in settings > Accounts & Sync.
3- Login to your gmail. View contacts. Is the new contact in your Gmail contacts list?
METHOD 2 (DOES NOT FIX Sync issue but was my attempt to...):
1- Export contacts displayed in phone to vcf file on SD Card.
2- Wipe all contacts on phone, push sync. THIS WILL PUSH a delete sync to google contacts on server. Continue to confirm mass delete until it is completely sync'd and contacts are gone from servers.
3- Import VCF contacts to PHONE but NOT as GOOGLE contacts.
4- Perform Merge to google. Force a sync.
Does contacts appear in Gmail Contacts or Google contacts on server?

Thank you for responding. Anyone else? Just create a random number in your phone, force the sync on contacts.
Login to gmail . View contacts. Does that contact come up?
I don't talk to strangers why do I want their number in my phone?

Must not be a lady's man; or you're too young, or you're married and too old.
if you're old, but not too old; you must not do well with your coworkers outside of your job?
lol jk jk
confirmed issue on my end. ended up losing a friends contact info cause of it.
There is an option in the settings to merge contacts with google. Only i am not sure if that will merge everything with my google address book or not. Don't want to do that.
Confirmed the issue
I have saved contacts to a VCF file on external SD; imported as PHONE CONTACTS ONLY. Then cleared all my google contacts in gmail.
Then go back to my phone and perform a "MERGE WITH GOOGLE". Then force a sync. It does not push those contacts back to google servers. !!!
Any word on a fix or work around for this yet?

The only fix is to add contacts to phone, export phone-only contacts to VCard. Import to google contacts in web browser. Force sync. Google server will push it out back to phone and keep it in gmail servers.
This is truly kind of annoying.. Lost a girl's number cause of this. Lucky she stalked me otherwise I could have been SOL.
Is anyone working on a solution not workaround to this?

I wish I would have read this before. I lost like 80 contacts!!!
Oh mama...
And i was about to install one of the new ROMS.
I am shocked nobody notice this till now. I add one of two contacts a day.
Hit the THANKS if this helped ya, then maybe a MOD will see this and make it a sticky? cuz this is probably the #1 biggest bug in ICS for our phones LOL
I deleted a number for one of my contacts and added a new number for them through google voice on the web....and my phone updated with the change with in 5min running the ICS leak

If you take a look at my ICS 4.0 bugs & quirks thread; you will see that ANY change on google WEB... WILL push back to phone. But new contact / number in PHONE will NOT push back to google web / servers.
This is what i found so far. Okay well hope this helps someone to find a fix...
1. create new contact in phone, wont sync with google account.
2. create new contact on line (google account), syncs with phone
3. Edit existing contacts in phone, all edits to contact made in the phone will sync with google account.
So if you have an existing contact and and you edit any fields from the phone, the changes will sync up with your google account. Only new contacts created in the phone will not sync.
Does saving to the contact to phone then doing a merge work? This is a shame.
there is a contacks.apk that works. unfortunately I can't do any manual dialing after. in the themes and apps section there is a thread on inverted apps. I am going to look to see if I can get the corresponding phone.apk to see if that works. but I did save a contact and the addition was pushed to google.
I downloaded the google calender from the playstore and it looks the same as the built-in one (the one that comes with AOSP-based ROMs). thanks
Google calender syncs with your google account(s).

definitely not true in my simple test.
I created an entry using the downloadable google calender. wipe my rom and sync my calender acct to the cloud and it picked up the entry I made.
You probably didn't have it synced in the calander or have background data on. Works for me with no problems. A simpler test would be to create an entry then check online (PC or on your mobile web browser).
Does anyone know how to make Google Sync work? I've installed Google calendar sync and Google Contact but when I go to accounts and choose Google, there is no entry for either.
Follow the steps here exactly as mentioned without skipping anything :
1) Factory reset your phone
2) After reset,
Download contact for android 6 apk
Then download contact sync APK for android 6
DO NOT LAUNCH OR EXECUTE any of them for now ...
Go to phone manager, go to permission manager and in CONTACT, let CONTACT app and CONTACT SYNC ALWAYS allow to change the contacts. It is by default on notify ...
Then, launch contacts app, introduce your login and password from google and it will sync all your contacts. AFTER that, you can download play store, google agenda etc ... You can find all apk i have mentioned on apkmirror
Then all will work perfectly with your chinese mate 8
Dear maly,
Is contacts apk really nessecary? The native contacts won't work? As there will be 2 contact apps in the end.
Is there a calendar sync app nessecary to synconize Google calendar with the one built into EMIU?

Don't know exactly what I did. I went to Settings > Permissions Manager > Applications and turned on "Trust this application" for Google Calendar Sync and Google Contacts Sync. I am using a different calendar other than Google's. Didn't have to reset the phone.

Hi there,
Thank you for your guide.
I did try exactly as you said, but it doesn't work none the less. After factory reset, and adding Contacts and Contacts Sync, there isn't any Google account (just an Exchange account option) that can be paired to it, as there is no Google Account that can be added, sadly.
Will now try to install Google Play and hope that it will create an account that can be paired to the Contacts app.
***EDIT***
Fixed! Installing Google Play did the trick.
Regards,

Install Google calendar too. Then sync possible.
Hi All,
Just migrated from iPhone to OnePlus 7 Pro, and am enjoying my return to Android very much.
However, I'm really puzzled by how the inbuilt contacts app is working.
I've always kept my contacts synced with my Google account, so when I moved across I simply added my Google account and there were all my contacts.
So far, so simple. My expectation was that the Contacts app on the phone would simply display my Google contacts and that any edits would be reflected in the Google account.
I've recently tried to edit a contact, and I find that it's not so simple. For the particular contact, I appear to have 3 linked contacts. One from Google, one from WhatsApp and one from the phone itself.
To make matters worse, there appear to be more phone contacts than there are contacts in the Google account. How the hell did that happen? I've not added any new contacts, or told the phone to maintain any contacts locally.
I've now told the Contacts app to only show contacts that are in the Google account, and to use the Google account as the default for new contacts.
My questions are this:
1) Why does the phone appear to be maintaining a separate sets of contacts?
2) How do I know which field to edit in a contact. Attached screenshot shows show there are three identical sets of phone numbers. Which one is for the Google account?
3) Can I stop the phone from maintaining it's own local contacts database?
4) Can I make the phone only show the Google contacts when editing?
5) Can I get a view that shows which contacts are on the phone, but not in Google? I want to work out where the extra ones have come from.
Perhaps, I'm missing the point of how Android does this. If anyone could explain, that would be great.
Thanks,
Andy.
Disclaimer: I do not intend to root/flash to a different ROM and will remain using China ROM.
Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with this issue. I already installed Google Play services and basically all Google apps via Play Store.
My issue is with Google Contacts as it seems the phone will not let me sync. My existing contacts do not appear due to sync issue.
If I go to Settings > Google Contacts Sync > then enable Automatically Sync, once I press back button, the phone will disable sync.
I already did the "usual" troubleshooting steps like restart your phone, kill the app and whatnot but this issue still persists.
Anybody knows how to fix this issue?
TIA.
Hi,
i facing this issue last month and solved it right now, i installed old apk google contact ( i will check it what version )
is there contact sync option under account google ?
you can check in settings->accounts->Google
The contacts sync option is available but the phone keeps "disabling" everytime I enable contacts sync (check my screenshot).
I'm kinda frustrated that I want to reset my phone and start from scratch just in case Google Play services got messed up.
I mean you can check in setting --- account --- your googgle account --- account sync
Are that option contacts sync option ?
I already found old apk google contact, you can try instal this, dont forget to disable smart background for aplication contact
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! Thanks! It really fixed my sync contacts issue! GApps suite works perfectly now and I feel my phone is now completely... complete!
Also, I don't need to install Google Contacts since the default China ROM "Contacts" app does its job synching all my Google contacts already.
Just to add, make sure to DENY access on Google Contacts Sync app.
Reason: In other Moto devices running China ROM (ex. Edge S Pro), there is a bug in synching Google Contacts and Whatsapp.
Device will keep on deleting/modifying (removing symbols) entries RANDOMLY. This may be the culprit.
Also, you need to remove ALL contacts and re-add them after you have signed in to your WhatsApp. This is the only way for Google not to mess up with my conctacts.
Update: You need to DISABLE stock Moto dialer, contacts, Lenovo Appcenter and LeCloud apps as it is messing up Google contacts. Do this BEFORE installing Google contacts sync apk. Install Google dialer and contacts. Done.

thanks it finally work on my edge x30 , thanks you saved my life
cheers mate
Just to add for Edge x30 or any Moto China ROM users:
After setting up your GMS and you encountered this issue - "Intent Filter Verification Service has stopped"
- just search for the app and CLEAR DATA. Restart your phone and you won't have this error anymore.
Another update:
On latest software updates (Feb or April 2022 patch and above) on my Edge S Pro and Edge X30, Lenovo may have fixed the bug where the system modifies your contact numbers (ex. Removing the + symbol if you save your contacts with country code).
In my case, I do NOT need to disable any Moto apps (App Center, stock dialer, wallet, etc).
Here's what I did:
1. Installed all GApps (including contacts sync, Google Dialer and Google Contacts).
2. Disabled Moto apps (stock dialer, contacts, app center, etc)
3. Installed my other apps (Whatsapp, etc).
4. Enabled Moto apps
5. Uninstalled Google Dialer and Google Contacts.
6. Logged in to my other apps (Whatsapp, etc).
7. Done.
Side note: if you want your Google Calendar accounts to get sycned with the Moto calendar, just install Google Calendar then open Moto Calendar and you will now see your accounts/birthdays/holidays. You can proceed to uninstall Google Calendar. Weird bug but that's how it works.

Thx very much! I just bought a Moto Razr 2022 and the Google Contacts cant sync. This is helpful and works well on my new Razr
