Google account auto sync does not work

Hi all,
I have Huawei Honor 6 plus PE-TL10 from China (not rooted, stock recovery, ROM ends with B150).
I have installed Google Play Store from APK (just move APK to phone and install it as usual) and added my google account through dialog when you opening Google Play Store first time.
Ok. My google account was added, then I have to add GoogleContactsSync and GoogleCalendarSync to sync my contacts and calendar
In my settings I can see all of my google things to synchronization, please see attachments.
I have auto sync option turn on (corporate account is working properly).
I tried to readd google account, clear cache of Gmail application, Google Services Framework, Google Play Store and restart.
I tried clear cache partition from recovery (stock recovery).
BUT, I can't get gmail auto sync - I have to click button "Sync now" and then I get new mails and notification, etc. But it is not done automatically.
Any ideas, how to fix this?
Should I root the phone and flash Gapps throught recovery?
Is here somebody who has this working on Honor 6+ without rooting?
The weird thing is, that I am not able to install Google apps as it is on the video on youtube when you search "How to Install Google Play Store to Huaweir Honor 6 Plus" - sorry, can't add external links yet, when I try to search for "google" in Huawei AppCenter I can't see for example "Google Play Services" in the result list.
Thanks,
Jakub

autosync under shortcuts (slide down status bar)

Enabled from the beginning of time Thanks for the advice, but this is not solution. As I wrote e.g. company mail works fine in the default email application with auto sync.

I would root and flash gapps via recocery

Install 2 app:

** = tt

as in my first post ... installed Thanks for your reply, but also without success.
I will have to flash it via recovery ... I am just waiting for the code to unlock my bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60155167&postcount=187

I solved it by doing factory reset and install GoogleCalendarSync.apk and GoogleContactsSync.apk before installing Gmail app, now all auto sync options works fine.

How to get your Google Contacts sync'ed to the head unit?

From reading on here we cannot get Google's Contacts app to work - but other apps work - only I can't find a way to get them to sync the Google Contacts.
I've found mtcdialer.apk - which will redirect attempts to dial thru Bluetooth and I'd like to be able to have my actual contacts available.
Has anyone solved this?

I paired it with my Bluetooth phone, opened the Bluetooth app on the HU. When I pressed the button too search contacts (on the HU) the phone asked for permission to share contacts to HU.
All works

What you're talking about is sync'ing the phone's contacts via bluetooth to the Bluetooth calling app. Very different.
I solved the problem myself.
Thanks to MTCDialer.apk, ( https://github.com/f1xpl/MtcDialer/releases ) you can use a Google Dialer/Contacts app on the Head Unit. I wanted to do this in order to put my favorite contacts in an icon on the launcher so I could call with one tap. The problem was getting my contacts from my phone to the Contacts app on the HU.
What I did was use Contacts Backup and Restore, ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarttools.mycontactsbackup ) to export my phone's contacts as a .VCF file and emailed it to myself from my phone.
On the HU, I downloaded the .VCF to /download/ and used True Contacts, ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.psencik.com.android.contacts ) and imported the .VCF into it. Then I was able to select my favorite contacts and used the app to put their icon on the home screen/launcher.
Based on other recommendations it is possible that Contacts+ might be better but I haven't tried it yet.

Is Google Contacts not working an issue with ALL android head units or just a few? I've had the same issue on two different Erisin head units?

Great thread. Only add you must use Google contact sync versión 4.x
If you use any more recent versión It Will not add "contacts" option to Google account

Hi, i have the AE0373B 8.0 PX5 headunit and i am unable to run mtcdialer. The app displays an error "Mtcdialer has stopped". Anyone else had this experience or could help? I would love to get this working.

I'll try to get all the apks I installed, but I even managed to get voice enabled on one of my modems.
I Have found that some Huawei E3131 Works great in 3G 25/5Mbit I have installed Google contacts+dial NON Nexus, and few others, Messages Works to receive SMS, And on PC even it works with voice I am Missing some Service apk to make that work also and One Dialer can try to call voice which end no service available.
EDIT: Added List of apps that work mostly, I yet need to figure out what Phone Services and Carrier Services to install but SMS receiving and sending works.
Only Stupid Viber do not work on HU and that is making me crazy. Hope this helps someone.

It is the steps to sync contacts via Google account.
Step 1. On your old Android phone, add a Google account.
Please go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Add Account" > select "Google" > go with the prompts to sign in your Gmail account. If you don't have an account yet, you need to create one at first.
Step 2. Sync Android contacts to Gmail account.
Please go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Google" > turn on "Sync Contacts" and other files you wanted on your old Android phone.
Step 3. Sync the contacts to the new Android phone.
You need to add a Google account on your new Android phone. Then go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Google" > select "Contacts" from the list of the Google backups > click "Sync Now" to transfer contacts from your old Android to the new one now.

Of course it will work, all he's doing is creating a google account on one device and using the same account on another device so both device have the same data once they are sync'ed with the account. Then google assistant can use the contacts from this account. It would probably work better if you only have 1 google account on the device.

I have my google account on my head-unit and the same one as my phone. Its just that there is no contact on the head-unit even when its synced. It just won't allow contacts on the head-unit because it has its own bluetooth app so wants you to use that app for calls instead.

Do you have Google Contacts installed on your HU? Once you have that on you need to add Contact Sync as it00x32 linked. Then you have to convince the HU to use a different dialer, follow the steps Martinsamp listed here.

[PX5][Android 9] Contact access problem

Hello,
Model: rk3368
MCU: MTCE_CHS_V3.15_1
I have a problem with accessing contacts and calendar from Google account. Most Google applications work correctly but Google Contacts says that I should log into my Google account (I am already logged in) but when I do the in app procedure it says that I am already logged in.
This problem shows up also in Waze app that has trouble accessing contacts. It seems like the problem is related to Android system because the same Waze version has no trouble with accessing the contacts on regular Android phone.
I'm running stock firmware. Maybe I should upgrade to Malaysk's version? Do you think it would help?
PS: I ran into this problem because I was trying to find an alternative to Google Maps because Google Maps widget with saved route was not working on this firmware (Google Maps was starting but into the main view instead of starting the route from the widget). Maybe someone could test on Malaysk's version that Google Maps widgets work correctly, please?

I'm here to tell you that I have the exact same problem with Google Contacts -- it is unable to display any of the contacts in my Google account (blank screen), and when I click on the profile button, it guides me through logging into my Google account, only to then tell me I am already logged into the same account.
I have a MTCE_HT_V2.84_1 unit here (Eonon GA9153A).

@cannondale0815 Would you be kind enough to check if you also are unable to search for your contacts in Waze? I clicked to allow contacts access in Waze when it asks but when I enter a name it shows nothing. The same when I search for contacts in the share ride view. I'm asking because I'm debugging this issue with Waze support for several months now.

I tried it yesterday but despite me authorizing Waze to access my contacts, nothing shows up. So I suppose it's the same issue you are seeing.

I tried contact+ on playstore, it synchronize perfectly but I don't like third app
I tried microg (from youtubeVanced) not working either... crazy Google

Question [SOLVED] Motorola Edge S Google Contacts Sync Issue

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
