Why is there a sync error on the tablet. How to Enable Google Account Sync on Android

Many consider Android to be perfect operating system and do not expect any unpleasant surprises from her (Figure 1). But in reality, there are no perfect OSes, and even Android can be overwhelmed by Google's sync failure.

Often this problem occurs after installing pirated firmware, but sometimes the cause may be certain system failures.

Causes of Google Android sync failure

Very often, the cause of a profile synchronization failure is not specific problems with the operating system or with the device itself, but incorrect user actions.

Auto sync enabled on device

The google and android page matching error may be due to outdated settings or disabled auto-sync.

In this case, a factory reset will help. But first, it is recommended to carry out such manipulations:

  • Go to settings;
  • Check the status of all profiles by clicking "users";
  • Next, run the synchronization command;
  • Disable automatic authorization for selected items (Figure 2);
  • Next, restart the phone;
  • After activating it, we again go to users and pages;
  • Select the icons of the necessary services and put a checkmark next to them;
  • Turn on automatic synchronization again.

Sometimes the cause of the failure is one-way timing, which does not allow all-round data transfer. Restarting the function will fix this problem.

The device is not connected to the internet

If the device knocks out a violation notification, the reason may be the lack of access to the Internet. The concept of "chronization" implies the exchange of data between the account and the phone, if there is no access to the Internet, it becomes impossible to maintain replica comparability.

Lack of access to the Internet - means no connection with the account. To eliminate this inaccuracy, you just need to connect to the Internet.

Make sure you have access to Google

A profile may be unavailable if it is not enabled or has been affected by malware.

Note: You can't time your data even if you don't have access to Google.

In the first case, it is enough to simply go to the settings of the device itself and launch the Google launcher function. In the second, you should contact the help of antivirus software or a specialist.

Check for Android Updates

An error in synchronizing a google android account on a phone may be a requirement of the OS to carry out a series of updates if the device does not have auto-updates enabled.

To take advantage of updates for Android, you need to perform a few simple steps:

  • Enter the menu "about the device";
  • Use the item "OS update";
  • Start checking for available updates (Figure 3);
  • If updates are found, they must be downloaded and installed;
  • Then you can try to start Google, the exchange of information should be successful.

Google sync error on Android - what to do

There are many problems with data exchange, but most of them can be fixed on your own. You can try the classic troubleshooting methods.

Deleting and re-adding a profile

If the google account mapping on android is not enabled, the failures may be related to software problems that are responsible for the relevance of the application (Figure 4).

Note:In this case, you should delete the account, download it again and install it in a new way.

Sometimes older versions of software cannot align their elements with newer versions, resulting in a transfer and launch problem. We have a huge selection of different ones on our site.

Synchronizing your account manually

If, when launching the application, an error occurs in profile synchronization on android, with the automatic sharing function, you can try to troubleshoot using manual synchronization, which is carried out as follows:

  • Looking for settings;
  • Open the menu about users and profiles;
  • Find the menu for synchronization;
  • Select the desired page;
  • We press the command, which is indicated by three dots.

Forced sync

This principle is to affect the OS if there is a failure of the Google account android contacts, is considered new, but effective. To do this, you need to do:

  • The menu for the interface should be supplemented with a save and restore function;
  • With the help of the first command, we fix the data on the page;
  • The second is to help pass the information to the device, so the elements are matched and the application is launched.

Clear cache and delete data

If the phone memory is overloaded, Google account will knock out an android synchronization error, then you will have to free up space, you can do it this way:

Method 1: we clean out the filled storage, delete all unused and outdated applications, delete or reset the downloaded information on the PC, including music, pictures, videos.

Method 2: we clean the profile cache, for this you need to go to the application, open the archive, delete data, restart the phone.

If you are unable to sync Google account on Android, you can forget about such a convenient feature as accessing contacts from any device with Internet access, or creating a data backup.

This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 10/9/8/7: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Causes of Google and Android sync failure

Enabling Google Sync with Android

To understand the synchronization options, you first need to know where to enable this feature.

  1. Go to "Settings".
  2. Open the "Accounts" section ("Personal data", "Accounts").
  3. If there is no Google account inside, you need to add it. You can create a new account or add the data of an existing Google profile - login and password.
  4. Click on the added account to open its parameters.
  5. To enable synchronization, move the switches next to the desired services - contacts, Google Play Music, Google Fit, Google Photos, etc.
  6. To start synchronization right now, call the additional menu and select "Synchronize" in it.

Increase

By default, app data, calendar, and contacts are synced. If you want to automatically sync photos with the Google server, you will have to install google app Photo. In its settings there is an item "Startupload and synchronization" after activation of which photos will be sent to cloud storage.

Automatic photo sync will continue to work even after deleting Google Photos. To disable it, you need to go to the application settings and move the "Startup and sync" switch to the inactive position.

Increase

Additional manipulations will be needed to synchronize mail from the Gmail application. In order for the data to be sent to the server, you need to check the "Gmail Sync" checkbox in the client settings. If your mail sync isn't working, clearing your phone's internal storage of junk files (if your storage is full) or deleting your Gmail data can help.

Now let's figure out what to do if your Android phone or tablet does not sync with Google accounts and gives an error.

This article is suitable for phones and tablets of all manufacturers of Android devices: Samsung, LG, Sony, Huawei, Xiaomi, HTC, ZTE, Fly, Alcatel and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Synchronizing a Google account on an Android device is a very convenient feature. Thanks to it, some of the important information from a tablet or smartphone is stored on Google servers. When switching to a new gadget, this information can be quickly restored.

For example, a list of contacts. When you use account sync, when you switch to new phone the list of your contacts will be displayed on it in 1 minute and you will not have to re-enter all phone numbers manually. Let's look at cases with Google account synchronization errors on Android devices.

Causes of Android and Google synchronization error

When Android does not synchronize information with the Google server, the reasons should be looked for primarily in the operation of your gadget. Errors can also occur on the Google side, but quite rarely. Such failures are quickly detected and eliminated.

Increase

Users most often encounter a notification that indicates a failure, the exact cause of which has not been clarified. Perhaps it is with user actions or with wrong settings to login. Devices with unofficial firmware can harm the system, so they will have to be deleted and the gadget returned to its original state.

The most unpleasant situations when a Google account synchronization error is displayed on Android can be “stuck synchronization”. In this case, the entire system “hangs”, and you can fix the error after restarting the tablet or smartphone.

A synchronization error may appear due to incorrect input of personal data (login and password). You must enter the correct information that was received during registration. In an emergency, you can reset your password.

Sometimes sync errors are due to incorrect system settings. You can return to the factory settings, but in most cases this is not required. It is enough to go to the settings and study the included services.

Synchronization must be enabled for all accounts. First, you can remove the selection from services that require authentication, and then restart the gadget. Then, on the newly turned on device, you need to go to the accounts section and check the boxes against the corresponding services and services.

In some situations, you may need to disable two-level authentication in your account's security settings. You can also use the transfer of information in the background and auto-sync.

If Android refuses to sync photos, mail, contacts and other information, perform the following steps:

  • We reboot the device.
  • Checking the stability of the Internet connection. Connect to Wi-Fi, if available.
  • We check that synchronization is enabled and the parameters are configured correctly.
  • Delete Google account and add again.

To delete an account, go to "Settings", "Accounts", then to "Google" and call up an additional menu (on the top right, a button in the form of 3 buttons). Now click "Delete".

Increase

During the deletion of accounts, no data will be lost, as the account remains intact. We reboot the gadget, and during the next turn on, add the Google profile again, specify the username and password.

Increase

If errors continue to occur during synchronization, then you should add another Google account. If other accounts do not work normally, you need to reflash the gadget. It is recommended to use only official firmware, since custom builds have their drawbacks, which can lead to various system failures.

How to enable Google sync with Android?

To enable Google account synchronization, you must first go to Android Settings. Then scroll down the settings until we reach the block with the "Personal data" settings. Go to "Accounts" or in other versions of "Accounts".

Increase

Then a list will be displayed with the accounts that you have logged into before on your Android. To enable synchronization, select a Google account. If there is no Google account in the list, then you are not logged into it.

In this situation, you should click on "Add account", this button is located at the bottom of the list, and then follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

Increase

After selecting a Google account, the user will be shown the synchronization settings for this account. Here you can disable or enable the synchronization of many services, such as Google Keep notes, Gmail, Chrome web browser and more. To enable synchronization, move the switch opposite the necessary services to the "On" position.

Increase

To start an immediate account synchronization, you need to click on the button in the upper right corner of the screen. A menu will open where you should select "Synchronize".

Increase

By default, information from applications, contacts and calendar is synchronized. If you want to automatically sync with Google photo servers, you need to download the Google Photos app. Going to the application settings, the line "Startup and synchronization" is available. When activated, photos will be sent to the cloud storage.

Full use of all functionality It's hard to imagine an Android device without a Google account connected to it. The presence of such an account not only provides access to all the company's proprietary services, but also ensures the stable operation of those elements of the operating system that send and receive data from servers. This is possible only with stable synchronization, but if there are problems with it, normal interaction with a smartphone or tablet is out of the question.

Most often, a Google account synchronization error on Android turns out to be a short-term phenomenon - it disappears on its own a few minutes after it occurs. If it didn't, and you still see a message like and / or icon (in the synchronization settings, and sometimes in the status bar), you need to look for the cause of the problem and, of course, resort to fixing it. However, before proceeding with active actions, you should check the obvious, but important nuances, which we will discuss below.

Preparing to restore data sync

It is likely that the cause of the synchronization error is not dictated by serious problems, but by user inattention or minor malfunctions in the Android OS. It is logical to check and find out before we take more decisive action. But first of all, just try to restart the device - it is quite possible that this will be enough to restore synchronization.

Step 1: Check your internet connection

It goes without saying that in order to sync your Google account with the servers, you need a stable Internet connection - preferably Wi-Fi, but a relatively stable 3G or 4G will also be enough. Therefore, first of all, check whether you are connected to the Internet and whether it works well (coverage quality, data transfer speed, stability). The following articles on our website will help you do this.

Step 2: Attempt to login

Having dealt with the Internet connection, you should determine the “hot spot” of the problem and understand whether it is associated exclusively with the device used or in general with the account. So, in case of a synchronization error, you will not be able to use any of the Google services, at least on a mobile device. Try logging in, for example, to Gmail, Google Drive cloud storage or YouTube video hosting through a browser on your computer (using the same account for this). If you manage to do this, proceed to the next step, but if authorization fails on the PC, immediately go to step number 5 of this part of the article.

Step 3: Check for updates

Google updates its branded products quite often, and smartphone and tablet manufacturers, if possible, release updates to the operating system. Often, various problems in the operation of Android, including the synchronization error we are considering, may occur due to the obsolescence of the software component, and therefore it should be updated, or at least check for such a possibility. This must be done with the following components:

  • Google App;
  • Google Play Services;
  • Application Contacts;
  • Android operating system.

In more detail, the procedure for updating both applications and the operating system was described by us in the materials presented at the links below.

Step 4: Turn on automatic synchronization

Step 5: Troubleshooting

In the event that an attempt to enter one or more Google services through a browser on a computer was not successful, you should go through the procedure for restoring access. After its successful completion, with a high degree of probability, the synchronization error we are considering today will also be eliminated. To solve the problem with authorization, follow the link below and try to answer all the questions from the form as accurately as possible.


In addition, if the impossibility of logging into your account is due to such obvious reasons as a forgotten username or password, we strongly recommend that you read the separate articles on our website dedicated to these problems and their solutions.

If, after following all the recommendations suggested above, the account synchronization error has not disappeared, which is unlikely, proceed to the more active steps described below.

Restoring Google Account Sync

It happens that a data synchronization error has much more serious reasons than those that we discussed above. Among the possible factors that cause the problem under study, the most common are failures in the operation of the operating system or its individual elements (applications and services). There are several solutions here.

Note: After completing all the steps in each of the methods below to resolve the synchronization error, restart mobile device and check if this function works.

Method 1: Clear cache and data

All mobile applications in the process of their use are overgrown with so-called file garbage - cache and temporary data. Sometimes this causes various errors in the operation of the Android OS, including the synchronization problems we are considering today. The solution in this case is quite simple - you and I must remove this "garbage".


Method 2: Force Account Sync

For the operation of the Android OS in general, and in particular for synchronization, it is extremely important that the time and date are set correctly on the device, that is, that the time zone and related parameters are determined automatically. If you specify obviously incorrect values, and then return the correct ones, you can forcibly activate the data exchange function.


Method 3: Login again

The last thing you can do to restore data synchronization is to shake up your Google account, because, in fact, it is with him that problems arise.

Note: Make sure you know the login (address Email or phone number) and the password for the Google account that is used on your Android device as the main one.


Conclusion

Google account sync error is one of the most annoying problems in the Android OS. Fortunately, almost always its solution does not cause any particular difficulties.

Many consider Android to be the perfect operating system and do not expect any unpleasant surprises from it (Figure 1). But in reality, there are no perfect OSes, and even Android can be overwhelmed by Google's sync failure.

Often this problem occurs after installing pirated firmware, but sometimes the cause may be certain system failures.

Tip asked if I could live without my phone for 10 minutes and started a system update.
After a while, I noticed that gmail mail stopped updating.
I deleted my gmail account in settings and logged in again. But launching the Gmail app hangs forever in this phase:

In Settings-Accounts-Gmail, you can see that synchronization does not work. Messages are periodically issued:
An error has occurred in the com.google.process.location application.
An error has occurred in the Google Calendar Sync application.
An error has occurred in the Google Play Services app.
And a few more.

God bless him, with gmail, in a pinch I can run it in the browser, but without it, Google Play does not seem to work, which prevents me from downloading and updating applications.
Despite the fact that I am logged into Google, a message is displayed:

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the problem without going through a factory reset?

Not banned in Google, I read about 10 instructions. I turned on and off the checkboxes in the settings, stopped the applications, cleaned the memory and cache, rebooted 10 times. Nothing helped, I take the help of the audience.

Contacting with Google provides a large number of benefits. For example, if you use contact synchronization, then you do not need to worry about transferring them if you change your phone. In addition, synchronized contacts can be managed from a computer through the Google Contacts online service. Therefore, you should not refuse this use of this function. Now we will talk about how to sync contacts on Android with Google.

Turn on sync contacts on Android with Google

If syncing contacts on Android with Google does not work for you, then most likely it is disabled in the settings, and you just need to enable it. To do this, go to the Android settings and find the "Accounts" section there. This section will display a list of all accounts in various services that you use on your Android smartphone. In this list, you need to find an account Google entry and open it.

After that, a list of data that can be synchronized with your Google account will appear. Here you need to check the box opposite the "Contacts" item and click on the "Synchronize" button.

After that, Android will sync your contacts with Google.

Adding a Google account to sync

If, when you try to enable contact synchronization, you find that there are no Google accounts added to your Android device. Then, click on the "Add Account" button

Turn on the display of contacts from your Google account

In some cases, contacts that have been synced are not displayed in the Contacts app and the user cannot access them. In such a situation, you need to launch the Contacts application and open the context menu of the application. This can be done using the hardware button on your Android phone or tablet. If there is no such button on the device, then you can call the context menu using the button in the application interface. After you have opened the context menu of the application, select "Show Contacts".

This will display a list of contact sources that you can use. Here you need to select your Google account.

After that, contacts synced with Google will appear in the Contacts application.

Today, the Android platform occupies a leading position in the mobile gadget market. For their users, the developers have done their best and in the app store you can now find almost any tools for entertainment and work. The operating system is tightly tied to Google services, which facilitate and reliably protect the work with personal data and the use of all kinds of applications. But the smartphone system may fail and a problem may arise when, for example, android contacts are not synchronized. The fight against this malfunction will be discussed in this article.

Synchronization can be useful to you when you have several gadgets, regardless of Android or iOs. It is with its help that you can easily transfer all the available information from one device to another. The first thing you need to do for this is to create a Google mailbox.

When you log into your "account" on your smartphone, the system will automatically start copying all your contacts and other information to the Google server (to the cloud). At any time and from any device, files transferred to the cloud will be available to you, where you can always see phone numbers, photos and other important records.

You can view the data copied to the cloud by clicking on the link and selecting Contacts in the upper left menu.

To make changes, you need to go to the phone's settings menu, and click on the "Accounts and sync" tab, and to fine-tune the service, there is a whole section in the OS called "Google Settings".

Troubleshooting

Checking the Internet

The first thing you should do before you start troubleshooting is to check if the device has an Internet connection. To do this, open a web browser and go to any page or launch a program that requires access to the network to enter. For obvious reasons, without a connection, it is unlikely to solve the problem.

It will not be superfluous to check access to Google mail - we enter the login and password on gmail.com. In addition, it is worth making sure that there are no failures on the company's servers.

To make sure your account is active, try going to the Play Market and start downloading any program. If there is no access, the service will give you an appropriate warning about the need to create a new one or enter an existing Google service.

Checking autosync

It is also worth paying attention to whether the auto-sync mode is activated. It is necessary for all data to be automatically connected to the Cloud, which does not require any additional actions from you. Enabling automatic synchronization is done in the settings of the mobile gadget.
