Hi, I've spent the last couple of days trying to sync my google contacts with my ubuntu 14.04 64bit desktop.
the online accounts under settings logs into my google account fine.

gnome-contacts wont import my contacts list, when i select use online
account it opens the online account accounts panel under settings which
shows my gmail account is switched on and connected, but thats all it
does.

I installed evolution to try, kept asking me for my gmail password, with
password incorrect dialog box popping up, so no joy there.

Read heaps of info, as you do when tyring to find a solution, didn't
matter what i tried, dconf to ensure inital gnome contact done was
clear. removed both online account passwords from the keyring using
seahorse, tried various plugins e.t.c.

I've given up and rolled my system back to before I tried to sync my
contacts. I dont use (or want) an email program on my system, I use
firefox for my email, It would be nice to have just my contacts on my
desktop as they are on my phones, tablets e.t.c. (most are andriod).

I believe this bug is still a current issue.
If you have a mailing list for when it's fixed please add me to it.
Any suggestions of other contacts type programs that I can try, please let me know
Thanks

Title:
  gnome-contacts stopped showing contacts from Google accounts

Status in gnome-contacts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In precise, one could add a Google account in gnome-online-accounts,
  and its contacts would show up in gnome-contacts.  This is broken in
  quantal.

  To reproduce from a fresh account:
  1. Start gnome-contacts.
  2. At the prompt for choosing between “Online Accounts” and “Use Local Address Book”, click “Online Accounts”.
  3. Click “+”, select Account Type “Google”, follow the prompts to log into a Google account.
  4a. In precise, the gnome-contacts window immediately switches to prompt you to choose between “Local Address Book” and “Google”.  Click “Google” and “Select”, and after a little while, all your Google contacts show up.
  4b. In quantal, nothing happens.  The prompt from step 2 has not changed, and there is no way to select “Google”.  (If you choose “Local Address Book”, then the only option under “Change Address Book” from the menu will be “Local Address Book”.)
