Hi, all. I've been having problems getting my Google contacts to sync on my Mix 3 running stock China rom. As you know, Google framework comes preinstalled and I've got pretty much every other Google service (mail, keep, play store) installed and working. I wasn't able to use the ubiquitous "Google installer apk" that most people point to because it first tries to install the framework but fails as it is already installed, and refuses to move on to the next steps. However, even though every other service works, my contacts refuse to sync. There are lots of guides to solve this very common problem with miui, but none of them worked for me. I've tried changing permissions for the contacts app, battery settings, installing a Google contacts sync adapter app, reinstalling the contacts app, and nothing's worked. Whenever I attempt to refresh the Google contacts app I get the message: "can't finish sync. Some contacts may not show up on all of your devices". Has anybody faced this problem?
I faced this problem too, after following the guide on Miui. I tried different permission settings and couldn't get it to sync.
Eventually the contacts app was updated though the Google play store, and it started syncing correctly. Make sure you have the latest contacts apk installed.

Thanks for your reply. I'll report back after an update occurs.
I think this is related to how Google Play Services is on the phone, I created a lite Google package for the Nubia Z17 and people had similar complaints about contacts sync not working... it was fixed by flashing the stock opengapps but we can't do that without TWRP here.
Download this Google Contacts Sync 9 (Android 6.0+) - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
Install and grant it permissions. Reboot phone and google contacts will start syncing without issues.
Thanks JJay666, it works for my mix3 china stock rom.

hi
it has been a while now, my Google Account is screwing up the sync to my Samsung Sgs2 every 2 weeks or so, I used to remove and put back the Google account and that fixed it. now that doesn't work anymore.
unless I click on "sync" is not doing anything so basically not "pushing" emails anymore....
is there something that could fix it? ive reinstalled gmail, etc etc. nothing helped... I am assuming I should reinstall the OS?
many thanks

Hi,
Before reinstalling the OS itself, and even if clearing google framework data is not really recommended, you can apply this workaround:
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).

as usual, XDA delivers, I have done the steps you mentioned and my Sync is up and running again. Let's see if it holds from now on.
Thanks so much
hi
something bad must have happened last night / this morning. I had again the sync problem, gmail not download any email or sending anything out from my mobile.
I did again
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).
But this time when you open Google Play it's saying "check your connection and try again", grey screen, nothing happening, I tried empty cache as well. I can swipe from the left side and I see my email there with "redeem, settings and help & feedback" but nothing loads. I updated manually to very latest GPS apk.
opened Gmail and it's still syncing, nothing happens.
any ideas? seriously upset that they keep changing things!
thanks
after some fiddling around, I have removed gmail, reinstalled (I like an old version), nada, so then I went and removed the Google Account as I thought, well why not? that did the trick, Gmail started working again and after a bit of clicks I got the Google Play working again. Now calendar sync is screwing up a bit lol.....never working at once!
Earlier I did try to delete the hosts file in ETC as someone suggested but that didn't help.
thought to add my 2 cents.

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.
Hello dear xda-developers!
I just received my Lenovo K3 Note and Flashed it back to the Stock Rom (VIBEUI_V2.5_1529_5_1063.1_ST_K50-TS after an Update) and installed Google Play store. After that I proceeded to install all the Google services and Apps I need.
Everything is working just fine except for the Contacts. When I open Contacts and go to the Account Settings, there is no Google Account. I cannot add a Google Account either, it only offers me WhatsApp.
If I go to Settings --> Accounts --> Google and select my Google Account, then I have the following Sync Options:
App Data, Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Google Fit data, People details
... but no Contacts
I've tried installing 3rd party Contact Apps and also deleting the app-data and cache of the "Contacts Manager" and "Contacts Storage" Apps, but all to no avail. VIBEUI just doesn't even give me the option of getting my Google Contacts.
Any Ideas? I'm really happy with the phone so far, but this needs to work :/
Thanks in advance for any help, but I really don't need workarounds, I know there are tons of ways to export/import contacts, but I use my Google Contacts on multiple devices and I need a way to keep them synced the way Google intended
Cheers!
Same problem here! Did you find any solution?
Mine works just fine, but I'm using Vibeui 2.8 1542. Please try another version of Google apps package.
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.

Hello same problem here on my px30. Impossible to synchronize my gmail account. Google contacts ask me Google duo or Gmail Exchange, nothing work.
I see my contacts in gmail or Google without problem.
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
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
