Reasons why Google and Android synchronization fails

Enable Google synchronization with Android

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

  1. Go to "Settings".
  2. Open the “Accounts” section (“Personal data”, “Accounts”).
  3. If you don't have a Google account inside, you need to add one. You can create a new account or add data from an existing Google profile - login and password.
  4. Click on the added account to open its settings.
  5. To enable synchronization, move the switches next to the necessary services - contacts, Google Play Music, Google Fit, Google Photos, etc.
  6. To start synchronization right now, call up the additional menu and select “Synchronize” in it.

By default, app data, calendar, and contacts are synced. If you want to automatically synchronize photos with the Google server, you will have to install the Google Photos application. In its settings there is an item “Startup and synchronization”, after activation of which the photos will be sent to cloud storage.

Automatic photo syncing will continue to work even after you delete Google Photos. To disable it, you need to go to the application settings and move the “Startup and synchronization” switch to the inactive position.

Additional manipulations will also be needed to synchronize mail from the Gmail application. In order for data to be sent to the server, you need to check the “Gmail synchronization” checkbox in the client settings. If mail synchronization does not work, clearing the phone's internal memory of unnecessary files (if the storage is full) or deleting Gmail data will help.
