Help Can not sync my GMail contact

Hello,

The issue sounds so simple. But I tried already so many things, I really can't find any solution.

I just bought a Huawei MediaPad X2 (in China), updated to Android 6.0, and try to configure everything properly. I have several hundred contacts in GMail (Google Contacts) and I would like to access/sync these contacts with my MediaPad X2. But it doesn't work.

I added already successfully my Skype account and all contacts were synced.

My Google account is also already added under Settings -> Accounts. When I click on it, I see:
Sync App Data
Sync Gmail
Sync Google Fit data
Sync People details

Everything is properly synced with the current data as confirmation. But I guess the "Sync Contacts" field is missing?

So from all Dialers: Truecaller, Drupe, Stock Dialer, Stock Contacts, I can not see my GMail contact.

With the app FullContact I can see my GMail contacts, but it doesn't sync with the Dialers.

I can not install the app "Google Contacts" from the app store, it is not compatible. But I installed the APK, but again, the same issue. With the "Google Contacts" app I am not able to access the Google Contacts. It simply doesn't sync.

I deleted all my accounts in Android and logged in again. It didn't change anything.

I really need my GMail contacts, I can't sync it by hand... Anybody an idea what I could try?

Either there is a simple solution to sync the contacts. Or there could be an app, like FullContact, that can access my GMail contacts as well as sync them with Android.

Thank you!
