Have not unlocked or rooted yet, still waiting.
Has anyone had problems connecting their google account to the google contacts app?
Keeps trying to add my google account into the phone when its already there.

Yeah, I have that issue too on mine. I figure it is something to do with Google service not being native and the MIUI stuff being the defaults.
I just got it today, so I figure I just have to wait till Sunday to unlock, and flash the EU ROM.
I had to export my google contacts and import them into the native contacts app
This is at least a work around until maybe the final Global Rom is released and we see if it supports google's contact app
Goto -> h t t p s : / / www google com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=1 -> click more -> export
Save contacts.vcf to phone storage
On Phone goto Settings -> scroll down to system apps -> contacts -> import/export contacts -> import from storage
I had issues syncing google contacts with the Chinese ROM. I think installing 'google contact sync' via apk from apk mirror solved it (there is also a Google calendar sync). I can't quite recall as I'm now on eu rom and everything works perfectly.
Installed EPICRom, and everything is perfect now.
MIUI 9 and all Google Services are working
I installed the EU MIUI, and everything works as well.

i cannot add a new contact as google contact anymore and can only chose between "SIM" and "Telefon".
can someone help me?
had the same problem, you will need to wipe your phone and that will sort everything out.
I had this problem a while ago and managed to sort it out without have to wipe the phone.

If you got trouble with Modacos stuff, post it in that in Modacos thread then. Don't make new threads for stuff like this.
ok, thx.
this helps
It's a bit late for you guys, but there is a way to change the Google account settings on the phone without a full factory reset/wipe. Go to Settings > Application Settings > Manage Applications and tap the entry for Google Apps. Tap clear data and confirm, this will wipe your Google account settings. Then go to Settings > Data Synchronisation > Google and you'll be presented with the Google account setup dialogue that you got when you first setup the phone. Enter your new details and the phone will do a full data sync, then you're done.
I did this recently when I switched from a normal GMail account to a Google Apps account with my own domain name.

I looked for 2 months trying to find the answer to this. For anyone with the same problem, if you get the dreaded "Google sync is unavailable, it will be back shortly." here's the fix.
1. Backup your contacts to a .vcf file using the export function
2. Delete all google contacts on your phone
3. Go to settings - applications - manage applications - Contacts Manager - clear all data
4. Re-sync using settings - accounts - sync now
Worked beautifully for me.
Hey guys,

Edit: Just remembered from my previous experience, contacts wouldn't sync properly / fully / some doubled......
You shouldn't need to, but you might want to backup you conacts (export) from gmail to pc, just in case.
Menu / Settings / Accounts & Sync / Google / Disable "Sync Gmail contacts".
Menu / Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Contacts & Storage / Force stop & Clear data
Menu / Settings / Accounts & Sync / Google / Enable "Sync Gmail contacts"
Wait for the sync to finish.
Then, open the 'people' app
Menu / View --> tick box "Google" only.

I had this too the first time I flashed a rom and recovered a back-up of my apps and data. However, I have all my contacts in the cloud. All in gmail/google account.
So what I do now when I flash a Rom, fully wipe it and recover apps and data is: that I do not recover my contacts, but just let them reload from my google account.

Hello, I have upgraded my p6 to b506 and I accidentally deleted all of my contacts. I tried to return them with google sync but nothing happens. Any fix?

And having the very same issue. Contact Sync seems to be work but no contants appear into phonebook.
Wondering also why?
Hi,

Here can you also find the Google Apps. Just install via the integrated file browser. Maybe you have to go to your settings -> accounts -> google -> sync contacts

Thanks for sharing that link. One place to download all GAPPS, awesome!
Hello Everyone. I have a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (AT&T). It was running Omni ROM 4.4 but since the latest Google Play Services update keeps 'crashing' the phone (multiple pop-ups stating that Google Play Services has stopped), I have decided to go back to stock ICS 4.0.4
The problem now is that my Google account isn't syncing properly. My contacts, calendar, Keep notes are unable to sync. I keep getting an error that states that 'Sync is having problems.' I also can't connect to the Google account from certain apps like WhatsApp & SwiftKey keyboard and as a result, I can neither back my chats to Google Drive nor download my customs words for the SwiftKey keyboard app. I can however use the Google Drive app normally. The Play Store also works properly.
I have done everything that I can think of (& read online). They are:
1. Deleting the Google Play Services cache.
2. Emptied the phone's cache. I also formatted it & the Dalvik cache in CWM.
3. Removed my Google account from the phone. Restarted & added the Google account.
4. Reset the phone to factory settings.
5. Re-flashed the official/stock 4.0.4 ROM by using Odin.
6. Changed my Google account password to 'force' everything to 'reset' and resync.
7. I have added a hash prefix to the localhost IP address in the hosts file in the 'etc' folder. I have also deleted it.
Syncing still doesn't work for those services. I am at my wit's end. Please can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks.
