so i'm new to posting on this website but desperately need help.
i have a sprint samsung galaxy s4 and was recently receiving the error message. process.andoid.acore has stopped so i researched on here to delete app data in the contacts storage app and it worked for the time being but the message kept coming back. then i read somewhere try un-installing then re-installing your google/gmail account so i did that which was a terrible mistake. now my google account will not sync at all says sync is currently experiencing problems it will be back shortly. AND the contacts storage application is COMPLETELY GONE! i have no idea where it went. the contacts is there but the contacts storage application is not which of course means i have no contacts. please please please help me fix this i would love to try to fix this without doing a factory reset if at all possible. i just have no idea where to begin. my service provider is sprint but i know that will be just more of a headache if i try to contact them by phone or waiting 2 hours in their actual store. i have tried everything from resetting to turning off the 2 step validation on my google account on the computer but any type of feedback/help would be so appreciated thanks!!

Open Gmail with your desktop computer (or borrow someone's)
Sign in to gmail
Click on the Gmail above Compose
Then select contacts
Click on More to the right and above new contact
Select Restore Contact
Then choose a date BEFORE you had any problem and all will return....
Simple & Quick!

Goood luck and Aloha!
