I just switched to iPhone from an Android phone. How do I sync my Gmail contacts? My iPhone is pulling my Gmail, but I can't figure out how to sync Gmail contacts into my phone contacts.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
Had the same issue, here is the fix:
Shalu, I just experienced this same problem and the following represents my fix given to me by APPLE and it did work. First make sure you correctly set up your cardDAV account and it's titled "Google" with "Contacts" as the sub description. Click on >>settings<< >>Mail, Contacts, Calendars<<. Now look to make sure you see listed under the ACCOUNTS heading the "Google" account with "Contacts" as a sub heading. This confirms you set up your CardDAV correctly. Second scroll down to the "Contacts" heading on this same screen and click on >>Default Account<< click on >>Google<< to make sure there is a check mark to the right. You Are Done!!! Go back to home screen and refresh everything on your computer.

Hello
I have just switch from android to iPhone. I used to backup my stuff with google accounts,I have signed already to my new iPhone but I cannot retrieve and restore my data from googles account. My contact and WhatsApp chats.
When I install WhatsApp it direct to restore data and chats from my iCloud account which I own it last year.
Thanks Allen! It worked for me 😀
Hi,
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
Mine didn't sync automatically.

Just switch back to android, iphone just ssucks
I followed every steps but this happened
The article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872 no longer exists (404). Searched support.apple.com for 'iphone sync google contact' - and there is - absolutely nothing! Anyone got any up to date information?
Today my iPhone 6 was reformatted at New Delhi Apple service center. I got only half of my contacts on iCloud. My older contact are missing , my old contacts were backed up on google. Can you help me retrieve my google contacts to iPhone 6
A MUST DO!!!
I know this may go without saying for some of you, but for me it did not, so I am going to put it out there. None of the below advice was working to sync between phones until I signed into google on my COMPUTER and went to contacts. Only at that point did google recognize my contacts and transfer them from my android to my iphone.
Omg! I was suffering lot because I enable 2 step google verification password..... How to connect now.
