Android, like most others, is not ideal. It goes without saying that it can also cause failures, which are especially pronounced when installing applications taken not from the official Play Market service, and installing unofficial firmware. One of the most common is a Google Android account sync error. Let's try to figure out how to get rid of it.
Google Android account sync error: typical crashes
First of all, we note that in the event of such malfunctions, when the user cannot use some features of the system with an authentication error, you should not blame everything exclusively on the “OS” or the device itself.
Most often, users are faced with a message indicating a failure, the exact cause of which has not yet been clarified, however, we can assume that it is associated exclusively with the actions of the user, as well as with incorrect login settings. Now gadgets with unofficial firmware will not be considered, since they themselves can harm the system, and they will have to be deleted, returning the device to its original state.
Google Android account sync error: what to do?
The most unpleasant in a situation when there is an error synchronizing your Google Android account on your phone or tablet may be the so-called "freezing synchronization."
In this case, as practice shows, the entire system “hangs”, and you can achieve a fault correction by the most elementary reboot of the device. In most cases, this helps (remember the hung programs in Windows - when they restart, they work again).
Fix syntax error
It is likely that the error in synchronizing your Google Android account on a tablet or smartphone can be caused by the incorrect entry of 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 a login). In extreme cases, you can try to recover the password.
Check synchronization settings
Sometimes the error in synchronizing your Google Android account is also associated with incorrect settings in the system itself. You can, of course, try to return to the factory settings, but in most cases this is not required. You just need to go into the settings and look at the included services.
As a rule, synchronization should be enabled for all accounts. To get started, you can uncheck all services that require authentication, and then reboot the device. After that, even with the device turned on again, you should again enter the accounts section and check the corresponding services and services, including data transfer, browser, etc.
In some cases, it is mandatory to disable the two-level authentication system in the account security settings. At the same time, it is also worth using auto-synchronization and data transfer in the background.
Delete account
If all the methods above do not help, and the Google Android account sync error appears again, you will have to take extreme measures - deleting the existing “account”.
To do this, use the settings menu, in which the accounts section is selected. Here we are interested in a Google account. We enter it, enter the Gmail address and confirm the deletion by the button below or the menu command.
Now, as you probably already understand, you should restart the device, after which, if you have an Internet connection and try to access Google services, the system will offer to either create a new entry or use the existing registration data. Enter the username and password and confirm the selection. If this does not help (for example, on devices with installed firmware), you will have to create a new “account”, however, there can be no question of any restoration of the contact list or previously installed applications.
Conclusion
Although errors of this type are very common, you can deal with them with the simplest methods and tools that are not too complicated for something. It is enough to use only your mobile gadget. In this case, no connection to a computer with an entrance to the installed control program is required.
In addition, it is worth paying attention 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 serious enough problem may arise regarding their safe removal, which requires special attention and maximum caution. And then the whole system can be brought to a state of complete inoperability.
For the rest, the standard tools considered are the simplest and do not cause any difficulties for any user. In conclusion, it can be noted that you can still delete data and the cache of the service itself, but these parameters are related to the account synchronization error, as they say, insofar as.
