S4 to LG G3, no contacts synced

Dropped my S4, trashed the screen. I moved to an LG G3, signed into my Google account, but none of my contacts have synced. My apps via the play store are all listed, Gmail works, but no contacts listed there either. My S4 still has them all listed, but doesn't seem to want to share. Any way to transfer them over short of manually typing everything out?

Welcome to Android Central! Do you know if the contacts in your S4 were associated with your Google account, or with the Phone account or Samsung account? Only contacts associated with your Google account will sync to Google Contacts in the cloud.

Check if Google has your contacts by looking in gmail on a desktop. That'll help us narrow down the problem.
