Two common fixes; first try
1. Settings menu > Applications > Application Manager > All > Google Contacts sync > force stop > clear cache
If that doesn't help then Settings menu > Applications > Application Manager > All > Google Contacts sync > force stop > clear data
After you clear data you may have to update your Google account, re-enter passwords, etc.
Some people have reported success with following up with the same steps for Google Account Manager.
And in some cases it's necessary to delete your Google account. Then add it back to your phone again
2. Settings menu > General > Accounts > Google > tap on the email address > menu > remove account

Same problem. I just started watching videos in Chrome, but sometimes I get this problem in Chrome too.
Bump, still having this problem
Try this:
Go to: Settings > More > App Manager > Downloaded > YouTube
Then: clear cache, clear data, force stop
No dice?
Try this:
Go to: Settings > More > App Manager > Downloaded > youtube
Then: clear cache, clear data, uninstall updates, turn off phone and take out battery for 5 minutes, turn on mobile and update YouTube app.

Hmm my only other suggestion would be to do a data factory reset or odin the stock rom of whatever bootloader you are on.

[HOW TO] Delete Locked Bookmarks

For anyone that hates having locked bookmarks, here's how to delete them:
1. Fire up your root browser of choice and go to system/CSC/
2. Long press on "customer.xml" and select "open in text editor"
3. Scroll down about half way until you see something along the lines of:
< Bookmark >
< NetworkName> T-Mobile
< Index > 1 < /Index >
< BookmarkName > google < /BookmarkName >
< URL > http://www.google.com/m?client=ms-hms-tmobile-us < /URL >
< Editable > no < /Editable >
< /Bookmark >
4. Change the "no" to "yes" and repeat for the 2 other locked bookmarks (there are 3 total)
5. Save the file, move or delete the backup Root Explorer makes, and reboot
6. Go to settings-> application manager-> internet and force stop it and delete cache/data ***WARNING*** YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR BOOKMARKS, SETTINGS, ETC!!!!!!
7. Open up the stock browser and delete those disgusting locked bookmarks they tried to shove down your throat

If you follow the instructions there you won't lose your other bookmarks. If you have any difficulty, use TWRP to fix permissions.

I never save any bookmarks, passwords, or home pages so I only lost some settings when I cleared data for the browser, but thanks for sharing :good:

Do you have installed the Chinese version of the 6.0 test ROM by any chance?
Because that is what happend to me too, when I did that.
There are two options:
A - Export your all contacts from your online book (Google Contacts) using vCard format, copying the files to your sdCard, then importing them using the Contacts app on your phone.
B - Flash a GApps zip
Go to the Open GApps site
Select ARM64 on the leftmost column, select whatever version of Android you have on your phone on the middle column, and select pico from the rightmost column.
Download the package, and copy it to your phone, and flash it via Recovery.
If you click on the package names, a new windows will open up listing all the programs that package is contains.
So if you want some extra, check the lists, and chose your preferred package over the pico.
After flashing you should be able to add your Google Account again.
Will do that once I unlock bootloader. Thanks!!
By the way, I have all Google apps working. Gmail, maps, everything. Contact syncing is the only thing that doesn't work...

I have the some problem ???
How is the Play Store, Gmail app working if you cannot add the account?
Did you add the account with the application's built-in +Add account option?
The Contacts app has the same option, open it up, press Menu, then Accounts. You should be see all your added accounts, tap on the right one, and turn on Sync Contacts.
