        It's a known issue currently.
        It should be fixed in next OTA-14.
        In the meantime, you can try this workaround: (worked perfectly well for me as well as dozen users)

        . Start to enable the access of "less secured apps" in your Google account. Than run as following:

        1. From your device, download this plugin: https://github.com/rubencarneiro/account-plugins/releases
        2. Open the terminal application (tap on ENTER key after each following command)
        3. Type: cd Downloads
        4. Type: sudo -s
        5. Type: sudo mount -o remount,rw /
        6. Type: sudo dpkg -i account-plugin-google_0.15.0ubports1local.1586944513_all.deb
        7. Type: cd
        8. Type: exit
        9. Reboot your device
        10. Open settings => accounts => select Google
        11. Enter your e-mail address
        12. Enter your password
        13. Without enlarging the screen with your fingers, select: "Allow all actions"

        Here you should be well connected to your Google account, which will automatically sync your calendar & contacts on your device

              @nocomp Unfortunately the fix has been postponed to OTA-15: https://github.com/orgs/ubports/projects/24

              However, the previously mentioned .deb file plugin works like a charm
