Most often, users encounter a message indicating a failure, the exact cause of which has not yet been clarified, but it can be assumed that it is associated exclusively with the actions of the user himself, as well as incorrect settings login. Now gadgets with unofficial firmware will not be considered, since they themselves can harm the system and will have to be removed, returning the device to its original state.

Google Android account synchronization error: what to do?

The most unpleasant thing in a situation is when an account synchronization error appears Google Android on a phone or tablet, there may be a so-called “stuck synchronization”.

In this case, as practice shows, the entire system hangs, and the failure can be corrected by simply rebooting the device. In most cases, this helps (think of frozen programs in Windows - when you reboot they work again).

Fixing a syntax error

It is likely that the Google Android account synchronization error on your tablet or smartphone may be caused by incorrect input your personal data (login and password).

Here you just need to enter the correct entries received during registration (the G-mail address is used as the login). As a last resort, you can try to recover your password.

Checking synchronization settings

Sometimes the Google Android account synchronization error is associated with incorrect settings in the system itself. You can, of course, try to return to factory settings, but in most cases this is not required. You just need to go into the settings and look at the enabled services.

As a rule, synchronization should be turned on for all accounts. To begin with, you can uncheck all services that require authentication, and then reboot the device. After this, when the device is turned on again, you should again enter the accounts section and check the boxes next to the appropriate services, including data transfer, browser, etc.

In some cases, it is mandatory to disable the two-level authentication system in your account security settings. In this case, it is also worth using auto-sync and data transfer in the background.

Deleting an account

If all the methods given above do not help, and the Google Android account synchronization error appears again, you will have to take extreme measures - deleting the existing “account”.

To do this, use the settings menu, where you select the accounts section. Here we are interested in the Google account. We enter it, enter the Gmail address and confirm the deletion with the button below or the menu command.

Now, as is probably already clear, you should restart the device, after which, if you have an Internet connection and try to log into Google services, the system will prompt you to either create new entry, or use existing registration data. Enter your username and password and confirm your choice. If this does not help (for example, on devices with installed firmware), you will have to create a new “account”, but in this case there is no need to restore the list of contacts or earlier installed applications there is no question.

Conclusion

Although errors of this type are very common, you can deal with them in the most simple methods and means that are not too complicated. It is enough to use only your mobile gadget. In this case, there is no connection to a computer with access to the installed control program not required.

In addition, it is worth noting that the problem of failures that occur on devices with firmware was not specifically addressed here. The fact is that when installing unofficial updates, a rather serious problem may arise regarding their safe removal, which requires special attention and maximum caution. Otherwise, the entire system can be brought to a state of complete inoperability.

Otherwise considered standard means are the simplest and do not cause any difficulties for any user. Finally, it can be noted that you can still delete the data and cache of the service itself, but this will result in a synchronization error account These parameters are related, as they say, insofar as.

Having such an account not only provides access to all proprietary services of the company, but also ensures stable work those elements operating system, which send and receive data from servers. This is only possible if synchronization is stable, but if problems arise with it, normal interaction with a smartphone or tablet is out of the question.

Most often, the Google account synchronization error on Android turns out to be a short-term phenomenon - it disappears itself a few minutes after it occurs. If this does not happen 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 eliminating it. However, before taking active steps, you should check the obvious, but important nuances, which we will discuss below.

Preparing to restore data synchronization

It is likely that the cause of the synchronization error is not dictated by serious problems, but by user inattention or minor glitches in the Android OS. It’s logical to check and find out this before you and I take more decisive action. But first of all, try simply rebooting the device - quite possibly, this will be enough to restore synchronization.

Step 1: Check your internet connection

It goes without saying that to synchronize your Google account with servers, you need a stable Internet connection - preferably Wi-Fi, but a relatively stable 3G or 4G will also be sufficient. 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 to your account

Having sorted out your Internet connection, you should determine the source of the problem and understand whether it is related solely to the device you are using or to the account as a whole. So, if there is a synchronization error, you will not be able to use any of the Google services, at least on mobile device. Try logging into Gmail, for example. cloud storage Google Drive or YouTube video hosting through a browser on your computer (using the same account). If you manage to do this, proceed to the next step, but if authorization on the PC fails, immediately proceed to step No. 5 of this part of the article.

Step 3: Check for updates

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

• Google app;
• Google Play Services;
• Contacts app;
• Android operating system.

We have described in more detail the procedure for updating both applications and the operating system in the materials provided at the links below.

Step 5: Troubleshooting

In the event that an attempt to log in to one or more Google services through a browser on a computer was unsuccessful, 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 questions from the form as accurately as possible.

Sometimes this causes various errors in the operation of the Android OS, including the synchronization problems we are considering today.

Method 2: Force account synchronization

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 forcefully activate the data exchange function.

Method 3: Login to your account again

The last thing you can do to restore data synchronization is to perform a “shake” 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 password for the Google account that is used on your Android device as the main one.
