Google Contact Sync Error - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having issues with their Google accounts not syncing contacts?
I get this error when i go into account settings and look at my sync settings that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
This error is only stopping my contacts from syncing and everything else syncs without a hitch. My contact app says it was last synced on 3/19 which is a problem because i cannot afford to lose my contacts.
Anyone know of a fix or if anyone else is even reporting this problem because i have searched and found nothing.

There are a lot of complaints on Google's android support forum regarding this issue. At least one person solved it by wiping their phone, but that's apparently not a cure for everyone. Apparently this is a known issue, and as usual, Google is not being helpful.
I'm having the same problem with picasa sync. I tried with Hard reset but no luck it still showing error and not syncing with picasa album. all other google services are working fine.

I was having the same problem - It was only grabbing a few old albums of mine and not syncing the newer albums from my Picasa Web Albums - I was so frustrated! But after careful examination, I noticed my wife's Picasa account was the one logged in on the Picasa desktop app, so consequently, it synced all the photos to her web albums and not mine. So I logged out of hers, logged into mine, synced to my web albums, and instantly all my pictures synced to my N1. Hope that helps anybody else having this problem.

it does'nt make sense... you just logged out of your wife's account from YOUR nexus one?
But all of us are having problem for not being able to sync the picasa album at all with our own account...
So what you are saying is that we need to log in onto computer from our account and then the phone should be able to sync the album to N1 while we are logged onto computer ?
please update us with more detailed instructions .. it will be very helpful if you can be more precise
i too am unable to sync with picasa. This is mainly because I created the picasa account after registering the phone and signing in. Using the Cyanogen Recovery image and wiping the phone right now to see if that fixes my issue.
Ill update if it did.
Yup confirmed...
I am running CM 5.0 Beta 5 and doing the Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset doesn't work.. I had to boot into the Recovery Image and do a full wipe of dalvik-cache as well as system wipe.
I just lost all my apps and have to redownload everything however Picasa sync is now showing up for me.
For many people this problem seems to be because they have an @googlemail.com account (even if you sign in with @gmail, the server knows that @googlemail is canonical). A bug has been filed: http://b.android.com/6431
If you look in comments 1 and 2 of that bug, you'll see support forums where Google stated on 19th January that they're aware of the bug and working on it. I have proved that for me in particular it is definitely because of @googlemail, see comment 4 of the bug.

google contacts won't sync.

Is anyone else having problems with google contacts not syncing? mine says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". but it has been like this for two days. anyone have any ideas on what this could be. I'm on att, but don't think that should matter. It let me sync up initially, but now is having this problem.
.... anyone? can I be the only person who's contacts aren't syncing up. I've tried searching this problem, but no luck. anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this.
I'm having this same problem with my magic. gmail and calender sync fine.
Are you still havthing this issue?
I solved it in my case.
I had made a custom group for friends.
In "sync groups" (Select groups to sync menu) I unchecked my new group.
Sync works fine now.
I assume because the group wasn't found in my online google contacts it failed, then again I haven't tested this, I'm content that it works now.

Anyone have issues with Google Calendar syncing?

I have my Google Calendar set to sync.. and I have my Calendar online show friends bdays and they all show up just fine on the website. But it doesn't seem like they sync to the phone. Any ideas why?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had problem with google calendar updating. In the calendar I would hit refresh with no effect. If you go to the main menu, settings, sync, and hit the gmail sync, I think it syncs correctly then. Since I manually sync all my apps for battery reasons I just put the "sync all" widget on my homescreen and press it when I want everything to update. Hope that makes some kind of sense and helps.

I've tried to do a manual sync as well. The 'Us Holidays' calendar shows up on my phone. But not the Birthdays. I put the birthdays in my Gmail contacts.. They sync to the calendar online without a problem. For some reason they just don't go to my phone
I had this problem with a friend's shared calendar and was able to fix it.
Verify under Google Calendar you are actively viewing that calendar
Under Accounts and disable the calendar sync for your google account
Under Applications, clear data for "Calendar Storage" note this is different from "Calendar"
Re-enable the calendar sync to resync
That should work. If not, try reversing the order. I did it myself, and a friend of mine fixed his phone after i gave him similar directions.

Worked perfect. Can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks.
Actually. It worked for some people but not all. So weird.

Having trouble syncing contacts

I have Xiaomi Redminote 4G. I had it rooted. Recently I unrooted it and experienced something unfortunate with my contacts. All my contacts that were synced with my google account and microsoft outlook (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook&hl=en) were gone from my phone. Moreover whenever I tried to add a google account I got the following error.
There was a problem communicating with google servers
I installed the modded play store from this page
http://en.miui.com/thread-5486-1-1.html
in order to solve google servers problem but that didn't help either
I am also unable to add an Outlook account in order to sync my contacts. I tried reinstalling this app but my problem didn't get solved.
sync
find contact sync adapter.apk from Google and see if it helps.
