Your Android smartphones will sync regularly with your Google Account to update your different Google apps, such as Gmail, Google Voice, Google Talk, Google Maps and more. The synchronization error in Android smartphones usually appears in the notification window. This usually happens if the automatic sync feature can not verify your username or password with Google apps on your Android smartphones. The synchronization error in Android smartphones may appear for two main reasons, one is due to a user error or a human error and the second to a bug / virus within the Android operating system of your Android smartphones.
How to sync Google Contacts on Android
One of the following steps will probably solve your problem of synchronizing the contacts once and for all.
- Make sure Android Sync is enabled on your phone. To do this, go to Settings> Data Usage> Menu and see if automatic data synchronization is checked. Even if it does, try turning it off and on several times.
- Make sure Google Contacts Sync is turned on. Go to Settings> Accounts> Google and select the account you are using. Make sure Contacts is checked. Again, even if it is, turn off and on again several times.

- Clear the app’s cache and data for Google Contacts. Go to Settings> Application Manager, then swipe to All and choose Contacts Synchronization. Select Clear cache and clear data.
- Delete your Google Account and set it up again. Go to Settings> Accounts> Google and select the account with which you have problems. Choose the Remove Account option, and then resume the installation process one more time.
