It might be time for a hard reset. Backup ur files and do a hard reset bud, sorry.
do you have attachments stored on your sdcard? Sometimes if you delete the attachments directory, then the messaging app will open. Then you can sync to reclaim the attachments.
sometimes it also may help to re-create the email account
good luck.
Thanks A Lot My My Friends !!!

[Solved] Google Sync Error

Out of nothing my contact and calendar from google account didn't sync.
(I reconfigured some time ago my google talk / hangouts, but I'm not sure that this was the reason for this google sync error)
In the sync settings of my google account an error appeared, something like
Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly​​​​
first: it took me some hours to figure it out
nothing in this forum mentioned before helped like deleting account and google apps, wiping cache, rebooting etc.
finally ...
this is the solution / workaround that fixed it for me:​​​​
open google calendar
click in menu settings
(here are only screenshots from my german android 4.1.2, but you should be able to follow the steps)

Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly ~FIX~
~For Root Users ~​-First clear Google Play cache and data
-Open Root Explorer or a another similar file explorer
-Find the file named "ect" and open
-For Root Explorer change Mount R/W to Mount R/O
-Long press on the "hosts" file and tap "open in text editor"
-See the IP address xxx.x.x.x Localhost
-Add a "#" before the IP address, e.g - #xxx.x.x.x localhost
-Save and reboot your device
-tested on a Nexus 7 2013 running stock 4.4.2 build KOT49H with ElementalX kernel
-I may have no responsibility if you device becomes bricked, do this at your own risk x.x
I hope this helped ^-^

If I were you I would remove the whole google account from the phone and delete all contacts. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, reboot and add google account.
But first of all I would make a nandroid backup!
Good luck :good:
thanx mannnnnn!!! your solution workd for me.

Great that it helped :laugh:
Maybe it's an error in the database on the phone, but that's speculative.
Finally someone has posted a solution to this problem. I just tried this on my stock non rooted AT&T S4 and although I went through the steps when I go to login to my account it says
"couldn't sign in
There was a problem connecting to the Google servers.
Please try again later"
But - it no longer gives the sync errors instead looks to be syncing on my Google contacts. It says "cancel sync" where it is usually says sync now. Hopefully it does sync. If not.... what other options do I have?!

Correction to my previous post - the fix does not work on my phone running ATT Touchwiz 4.4.2
Anyone know how to fix that wont wipe the contacts not synced yet? @bgumble

you can export the contacts on your phone, try my 2nd solution, and with a working sync you can try to import the contacts again ...:fingers-crossed:

So i ended up calling Samsung - because i rely on my contacts for work/professional use, and basically got them to direct me to disconnect my google account from my phone then re connect and sync it - just to be on the safe side so if it wiped my contacts which it did not and i knew would not... id have someone to blame
disconnecting my google account and reconnecting is the solution that worked for me. Thanks for the post! Hope my post can help the next person in my shoes as this seems to be a common error.

Yes, unfortunate. This was the first thread i have seen with a real answer to this issue that i know a lot of people have; i have been searching the forums for 6 weeks - so thank you!
Still Not Fixed
I had absolutely zero issues with sync on either of my accounts when I was using 4.3 ROMs. After switching to a custom Touchwiz KitKat ROM, the problems began. After the switch and restore of data with TB, acore was chronically crashing. So I wiped and reloaded the ROM from scratch and did not restore any system data that time. At this point, I went to add my Google accounts and calendars was not an available option. aCalendar+ Tasks was. However, even after repeatedly reauthorizing that option to have access, sync kept failing on aCalendar+ and Google Calendar was not an option still.
I have dropped both calendar programs, tried the contact fixer app, tried suggestions on other sites, and tried all suggestions in this thread with one exception. I am not manually editing my hosts file because, in my experience, doing so almost always breaks something else as a side effect.
So, short of wiping my ROM again, which I really don't have the time to do right now-what is there left to try. As it is, there is no option under my Google accounts settings to sync calendars at all and Picasa sync is now chronically failing on both accounts as a bonus. Google calendar is currently the only calendar app that I have installed and it endlessly churns when attempting to load the list of available calendars.

sorry for being late.
Did you solve the problem, or do you still have problems with google sync?

I did not solve the problem with Google Calendar itself-I went around it instead. I switched from gCal and aCalendar+ to Calengoo and gTasks and those sync with Google Cloud data just fine. The only issue is that I still get a chronic sync error on Picasa sync so I had to go around that as well using Google+ sync instead. Very strange and frustrating problem this is.

Weird, I never dicovered issues in the software. I thought these errors were database errors. But it's defenetly a good workaround to change the software.

Unfortunately The Process android.process.acore Has Stopped
I FOUND SOLUTION TO THIS AND DISABLE contacts storage - 4. 1. 2 SO NOW THIS ERROR DONT COMES

As both are listed as manufacture applications it cant be uninstalled
also i downloaded SecContacts.apk and SecContactsProvider.apk to replace files for contacts but it is not installing as it does not uninstall previous versions

I REINSTALLED ORIGINAL 4.1.2 JELLYBEAN OPERATING SYSTEM
I INSTALLED NON OFFICAL 4.4.4 KITKAT ALSO BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING TO CONTACTS
I cant save any contacts . even i whatsapp i get error - you may not have a proper app for viewing this content.

I've been having the exact same error (Unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped) for almost a week. In my case though, i have a Sony Xperia ZL with 4.4.4 stock rom, and i only obtain this error after installing facebook, messenger, trucaller, google calendar and/or onenote. With those uninstalled, both contacts and phone apps work fine, but right after installing one of them, the error comes back.
I already tried clearing contacts storage, calendar storage, contacts sync, contacts app data, with no luck, and I don't want to do a factory reset, nor flash.
Help
