Thought I'd share a problem I was having and found a fix for. My contacts were only syncing one way, from google to my phone. Edits on a computer to my contacts would show up on my phone, but edits on my phone would not sync back to google. under the sync menu in my accounts and sync I had the refresh logo with an exclamation after it, and it had not been synced for months (although changes made on a computer would show up).
Here is the fix that worked for me.

System settings => Apps => All => Contacts (press clear data)

Then

System settings => Apps => All => Contacts Storage (press clear data)

Then

System settings => Accounts and Sync => Google => tap on your email address (toggle your contacts sync checkbox)

This fixed the issue for me and now it syncs both ways.

I had the issue and tried what you said. Didn't fix it. Did some googling and found its a common issue across devices. I download contacts sync fix and it found errors with my "ice" contacts. It fixed them and its been syncing fine since.
