[Q] Att Edge makes duplicate contacts when synced with Google contacts topic

Help, my att Note Edge creates multiple duplicate contacts when it syncs with my Google Contact account (my phone's contacts list shows 2,500 contacts
where as my google contacts shows only 280 contacts - which is the correct number of contacts). Also I get a notification message saying that Sync was
unsuccessful because "Too many Contacts deleted. There are 1019 deleted items for Contacts, account ....... @gmail.com. What do you want to do?" Do any
of you have a fix for this problem? thanks
