google calendar and contacts stopped syncing

I have a VZW Samsung Galaxy Note5. It has all system updates that VZW has pushed. All of a sudden, the phone won’t sync the contacts and calendar of my google account.

I have searched both these forums and elsewhere on the web. Some solutions work for other users but not me. I have tried:

*Removing and reinstalling google account on my phone

*deleting data and cache under the phone and calendar aps

*numerous re-boots

*matching “groups” on phone to those on my gmail account accessed through the web

* ”permissions” adjustments

*etc.

I see references to this kind of problem and error message going back many years, and a lot of posts and problems are marked “unanswered” or “not resolved.” Not too encouraging.

Can anyone help me? Much obliged.

Thanks. So, how do I determine that it is corrupted, and what do I do to fix it. All components of my google account ae are accessible through a web browser without a hitch.

delete then recreate the google account

I have done that many times. Does not make a difference. But thanks for your response.

Also, I neglected to quote the actual error message. It reads: "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly "

Esschoir5963 We're sorry to see that you're still having issues with your sync options and Google Account. Based on your messages here, we're not showing that a complete Factory Reset has been completed. We recommend that you give that a try and let us know what happens. Since a Factory Reset will erase all information from your phone, it's important that you find a different way to back up your contacts, photos, documents, music, etc. Here are the instructions: http://vz.to/29HCx4M
