Dalle recensioni di Google Play Services.

The blog post says it works through "Google Play Services," which is a default (unremovable) app on all android devices that has pretty much every permission including the location permission that this feature would need for GPS positioning (note, I seem to be able to disable some of the permissions, not sure if that because of the new permission features in Android 6 or because I run the Cyanogen version of Android). The blog said it would be work on every Android phone running at least 2.3 (which is over 5 years old now - the blog says 99% of all Android phones are compatible, which matches the stats here).

Note - not an expert on Android by any means, this info may be wrong.

For what it's worth if you don't want to sideload the APK, I just went to Google Play Services in the Play Store app using this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

The update was available so I updated from there instead of APKMirror. I'm now also on 9.0.83.

UNINSTALL GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES IT WILL LITERALLY KILL YOUR FAMILY.

Seriously though the reviews are worse than I thought.

Generally, yes, but if the name of the app is "Huawei mobile services", then the message should read the same.

And it wouldn't be the first app to be named like that. For example, note that the last word isn't capitalized in Google Play services.

Ok. Now that we know for sure those are the 1gb variant, we can atleast try to do some troubleshooting.

Turn Off the GPS for the devices first. Then go to Application Settings and look for "Google Play Services".
Check if on the upper right corner of the screen there is an option to "Uninstall Updates". If it does, then go ahead and proceed to the Uninstallation process. It will revert the Play Services app to Stock version.
If there is no option to "Uninstall Updates" just go ahead and open this link to your "Google Playstore". This is where you'll manually update "Google Play Services".

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Upon update completion, Turn On the device's GPS and switch it to "High Accuracy".
Login to PGo as usual.

Hope it helps.

Make sure Google Play service & Google app both are updated to the latest version.
Change your device's language to English (US). Navigate to Settings > Language & Input > Change it to English (US).
Clear your Google App data & Google play service. [To do this , Go to settings > Apps > Find the Google app in the list. Click on it. there will be something like storage. Click on it. > Now click clear data. You can also do it by going to app info ] This will clear all the previous settings on your Google App. Also, make sure your Google App language is set to English (US).
Once done, just tap and hold the Home Button of your device and you will see a message pop from the bottom asking you get started with 'Google Assistant'. Enjoy!

Se volete divertirvi due minuti potete leggere le recensioni dei Google Play Services... su Google Play Store.

Stavo cercando il motivo per cui non mi uscisse più il prompt di log-in di Google sullo smartphone, magari qualche app era stata bloccata or something e non ho sbatti di resettare il telefono, e ho trovato questo.

look for "Google Play Services" in your Application Settings and Uninstall Updates. Then manually update it via this link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

hope it helps.

So I think it was a Google play services bug.

Instead of just doing: apps>Google play> uninstall updates... Do it to the play services app as well.

Then go here and update: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

That has seemed to fix my issues...

Please confirm.

Try this:

Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators and temporarily deactivate Android Device Manager.

1) Go to Settings -> Apps.

2) Find Google Play services -> Uninstall updates.

3) Go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms and update Google Play services.

4) Reboot.

Reactivate Android Device Manager

Google play services != Google play

The services are used for the following features of your phone:

Receive notifications (Most notifications on your phone are "relayed" by the google play services, so the phone can actually save data and batery power by fetching ll notifications at the same time, instead of every app doing the same "fetch notifications" loop.
Automatically switch between wifi and mobile connection depending if there is an internet connection
It also does a lot of other things, based on the permissions it requires on the app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&showAllReviews=true

Try this,

Make sure Google Play service & Google app both are updated to the latest version.
Change your device's language to English (US). Navigate to Settings > Language & Input > Change it to English (US).

Well, he is a dice player... You probably rolled a critical fail.

Try making sure your google play store and google play services are up to date.

Try opening the page for Google Play Services in Play Store and manually hitting update.

Open this link on your tablet, and then select to open it with the Play Store app. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US

You can't find Play Services by just searching the Store for some reason, its hidden.

Are you rooted? If yes, you could try Magisk Module "Universal GMS Doze".

I'd also try to check the permissions on the apps you have installed (Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> App permissions) and disable some that you think is not needed or you don't use; also, configure GPS to Device Only or Battery saving. Uninstall apps you don't use, if you have any.

Finally, check for updates on Google Play Store, especially Google Play Services: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

That's strange. Did you try this?

Make sure Google Play service & Google app both are updated to the latest version.

This worked for me.

1) Go to Settings / Apps.

2) Swipe down until you find Google Play services. Tap on it. Tap on "Uninstall updates".

3) Go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms and update Google Play services.

4) Reboot.

some devices are experiencing inaccurate gps locations (by 20 or 30 metres) in some apps on the 6 series. a future update will fix it. just keep play services and all your apps updated. and you can install GPSTest (free and opensource) - that will verify if your gps sensor is working fine (outside; getting a lock on 21 satellites etc). it also has the option to inject psds gps and time info data which can help with accuracy. any apps that rely on gps: long press on shortcut, info, and in location set it to accurate and always allow, enable all permissions, and for battery set it to unrestricted usage.

if after 10 days it isn't working well, update google play services and all apps (which will include other services). then clear auto brightness info

So, there are two different apps on Android systems (and thus on Android televisions) that have very similar names:

Google Play -- the app store itself
Google Play services -- a bunch of software to help other apps run and access Google services

The second one has a really wide variety of stuff in it. It's kind of a kitchen sink of software. This link gives details. But the important thing is that because it has a ton of junk in it, it tends to get updated often. Sometimes with bad results. Also, because this one (pseudo-)app does so many things, there's lots of opportunity to screw up and make it crash. The dialog you're seeing is because Google Play services is crashing.

It's updated automatically. The bad news is there's really not a lot of control you have over it. The good news is an update should automatically happen at some point (notice "silent updates" in the second link above), probably in the next week or two. By which time hopefully they will have fixed whatever is causing this crash.

TLDR: Most likely there's not much you can do about it, but it probably will fix itself eventually.

I've had somewhat of a issue with Google play also. What fixed mine was Google play services needed to be updated. Once that was updated all issues have gone away. Try this link. For some reason you can't just go to the play store and see if it needs to update.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US

Just to confirm:
On LDPlayer, re-enabling the Google Play Services & updating it (visit this link in the browser of your emulator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms ) fixed the problem for me.

Try updating Google Play services, that resolved it for me. But it did not work for another user who reported their services were up to date. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Anytime I reset my watch for any reason, first thing I do is go HERE via web browser and force push to my watch rather than waiting for the rollout. After that, I force Play Store to update installed apps, and install the ones I want. Then I charge to full before use.

This cuts the 2-3 days of lousy battery life down to 1 at most.

Anyone know why on my phone in the play store it says play services was last updated Aug 16, but when I look it up on my PC here it says it was updated Sep 21?

edit: signed up for beta, got a play services update, still no 8.0 update

edit2: finally just sideloaded it... wasted enough time hitting check for updates today...

That's strange. Did you try this?

Make sure Google Play service & Google app both are updated to the latest version.
Change your device's language to English (US). Navigate to Settings > Language & Input > Change it to English (US).
Clear your Google App data & Google play service. [To do this , Go to settings > Apps > Find the Google app in the list. Click on it. there will be something like storage.

Mine is doing the same thing. Tap the upgrade button and nothing. Right back to the Google music home screen.

Edit.. Had to force a play services update and it works now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

I'm seeing this as well on my Fire HD 8 (2020), and it's very concerning.

I've also uninstalled Google Play Services and reinstalled the latest version of Google Play Services from APKStore (you cannot do an in-place upgrade, there's only a "deactivate" button which doesn't work). The error goes away temporarily, but eventually returns a week or so later.

And we're not alone -- hundreds of complaints on this issue in the Reviews section of Google Play Services on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US

Is this just a temporarily bug. Or is it an indication that the little "secret" of sideloading Google Play Store is over, at least if you want to use your Fire to play games requiring Google Play? Wonder if Google and Amazon are finally saying "no more?"

>I've cleared the data & cache for play services,

This will only make matters worse, honestly, never clear Play Services data. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms check see if you have an update for this, if so, apply it. If not, good to go.

Login through Tasker. Go to do an action involving the plugin. It'll realise you're not authed an attempt it. You may want to disable Dark Mode when doing so.

Second;

Fossil 5 is an OK watch; fast, snappy and not a lot of bloat. Battery life is shit, mind, but other than that you'll only want Watchmaker and AutoWear for it. Make sure you're on AutoWear beta, as it has WiFi ADB and AutoInput style features.

Third;

I full circle back to my original statement, the Fossil 5 has shyte battery life.

I did! Google Play Services was the culprit. I joined the beta program here, then downloaded the latest beta version, and my battery life was back to where it was before.

I second this suggestion as well as clearing the data/cache. To make it easier to get to the app/settings you can do what I do and save the web play store link as a bookmark:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Then you can open it in the play store app, and opt in to the beta at the bottom.

Try these steps:

Turn off GPS
Find Pokemon Go in Application Settings and 'Force Stop' it. Clear Data and Cache.
Again in Application Settings, look for 'Google Play Services' and UNINSTALL UPDATES.
Manually update Play Services by opening this link to your Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
Login to Pokémon Go.

Ok try this method: Sign Out from PoGo and turn off GPS. Go to Settings->Application Settings->Pokemon Go->Force Stop. Repeat again with Settings->Application Settings->Google Play Services->Uninstall Updates. Now open this to your Play Store and manually update Google Play Services:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

After updating, open GPS and login to PoGo.

Switch Off your GPS. Look for "Google Play Services" in Application Settings and UNINSTALL UPDATES. Now manually update it by opening this link to your Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Login as usual.

I'm on 5.0.1 too, and I've seen on the reviews on the Store that there's a bunch of people with the same issue, and they're using different Android versions. It's weird it's not trending yet

I second this. Again what you want to do is Turn Off first your GPS. Search for "Google Play Services" in Application Settings. Select UNINSTALL UPDATE. After that, manually update your Play Services by opening this link to your Playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Hi! Make sure that the Location Permission for Pokemon Go is enabled. You can also look for "Google Play Services" in Application Settings and UNINSTALL UPDATES. Then open this link on Playstore and manually update it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Hope it helps!

Google services are what the play store basically uses to integrate Google products into other apps You can get it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms It might be best to use that link to uninstall it, then restart your phone, then reinstall it so that you get a clean install

Region shouldn't be effected with the check for update button :S

Check if your play services is upto date on your phone (or opt into it's beta) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_GB

I get updates on my tablet as soon as they're available now by pressing the check for update button

Go to Application Settings->Google Play Services->Uninstall Updates. Restart your phone and manually update it from this link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

One thing to note is that Play Services is a crucial component for Pokemon Go. It has this trait where it updates in the background regardless if you turned off Automatic Updates on Play Store. This same privelage is what allows "Instant Apps" from automatically updating whether you're on Mobile Data or WiFi connection. That auto-update can sometimes spell disaster if it chooses to do so on a spotty internet connection.

Google Play services isn't an app that'll show up in your app draw and might not even show up when you're looking at the list of apps that need updating.

So if you're lucky, you may still be on an older version.

It must have been a background Google Play Services update. I just forced an update on mine and voila, the lock releases immediately!

Thanks for the heads up and theory on what might have fixed it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms is the link to try to force the update for those interested

try this:

Remove all Google accounts in Account settings. Look for Google Play Services and choose Uninstall Updates. Restart your phone. Upon boot up go to Account Settings again and re-Add your Google account. Now when that's done, manually update Play services from this link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Finally, login to PGo as usual.

You can just directly to the Play Store listing rather than going through settings like OP. (I'm guessing that's what you did to enroll in the beta.)

Once an update is installed by the Play Store, either automatically or by you hitting the button, it'll show in settings again. But I doubt the install source affects anything; I think it was just OP's way of getting people to the Play Store listing.

Also, Disable and Force Stop being greyed out is normal.

Try updating to the March patch. Settings>system>system update>check for update.

If there is no update available join the Google Play store Beta and try those steps again.

Here is the link to enroll in the beta.

Have you tried the Google Play Services Beta? This resolved this issue for some people during the Oreo beta program for the Essential PH-1. Google Play Services

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Look for beta sign up in there.. once you sign up for beta, it should be a few minutes, go to play store under the my apps and games, you should see a beta category.. Click update on Google play services

UPDATE! I win!!!! All working now!

What I did: 1. Delete all Google accounts on device 2. Delete Play Games application 3. Delete Google Services application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms) 4. Reboot 5. Update Google Services 6. Install Dissidia, then open it 7. When game ask, install Play Games, then login in it. 8. Now all work!

The update for Google Play Services intended to resolve that network flooding problem hasn't necessarily rolled out to your phone yet. The press jumped the gun a bit.

If you choose "Become a beta tester" for Google Play Services that'll get you there faster if you need to. Here's a link to the store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Try this,

Make sure Google Play service & Google app both are updated to the latest version.
Change your device's language to English (US). Navigate to Settings > Language & Input > Change it to English (US).
Clear your Google App data & Google play service. [To do this , Go to settings > Apps > Find the Google app in the list. Click on it. there will be something like storage. Click on it. > Now click clear data. You can also do it by going to app info ] This will clear all the previous settings on your Google App. Also, make sure your Google App language is set to English (US).
Once done, just tap and hold the Home Button of your device and you will see a message pop from the bottom asking you get started with 'Google Assistant'. Enjoy!

I just went through this... it requires Google Assistant on the phone. If you don't have the assistant, it's possible to install, with a little bit of effort. I'm not sure it'll work on 5.1 but it does work on 6.0+. here goes:

Go the google play services page in the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
scroll to the bottom and click the button to enroll in the beta program.
repeat the process with the 'google' app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en
wait a few minutes for the beta process to complete and install the updated versions of the apps.
set your phone language to US English (the Home should also be set to US English, it just works better that way)

you should now have the option to link the account

Whoops. Thought I was replying to the Android Preview sub, not the pixel sub.

I'm on the Android beta O build. The battery stats display like that natively in Android O.

As for the long battery life the only thing I'm really a stickler for is app permissions. I have about 130 apps installed and every single one of them I checked and denied permissions. While I have never verified if it helps or not, apps like Capital One or Amazon don't need access to my location, contacts, messages, microphone, camera, storage, ect, ect.

While it may not seem like much if an app uses 1% of your battery, what if I had 75 apps that "only" used a half percent. Individually that's nothing, collectively that's over half your battery for the day for nothing.

Now that I said all that. The Android O build has been an improvement with how long the phone lasts and how much SOT I get. Previous to the O build I would last about 16 hours a day with about 3.5-4 SOT.

I am completely stock and have only done updates OTA. I have seen some people resolve your issue with updating the Google play services to the beta channel. You can do that in the Google play store here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

But it's still running in the background, collecting data, phoning home to Google, all of that fun stuff. I mean, just look at all the permissions Google Play Services "needs". It gets that access regardless of whether you "sign in" to your google accounts.

Wait is that the same as the Google app? I can't find a separate Play Services package.

EDIT: Here it is for anyone else looking. No idea why it didn't show up in the store search, had to go through google in the browser.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

>This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services. >Google Play services also enhances your app experience. It speeds up offline searches, provides more immersive maps, and improves gaming experiences. Apps may not work if you uninstall Google Play services.

>Also, haha bookmarks? I guess people don't switch to iPhone or Android because they font want to lose their precious bookmarks? Please

Chrome is available on iphone and android, so your bookmarks go with you:

https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/chrome-web-browser-by-google/id535886823?mt=8

Things like that absolutely do matter. It's all about ecosystems these days. I'm heavily invested in both the MS and Google ones - I use OneDrive, Drive, Gmail, Outlook, Onenote, etc - so if a platform doesn't have them, I won't use it. Some people are like that with things like autofill forms and bookmarks, as hard as that might be for you to believe.

Yes. I received it today I opted in for the google app and google play services beta program and an update for google app arrived today which activates the google assistant. But first you need to update the google play services beta. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&ah=9w81Fo12YHs_oh7JZBejabeSXpA

Permission details can be found here.

It lists the microphone as being used to "record audio".

There is probably no benefit from disabling it.

All you will be doing is limiting what your phone can do.

Play Services

The is no separate so for Chrome Webview. The Chrome app installs the Webview and disables the old Android System Webview app.

cm13 has google play services available? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en The app uses it widly, especially for localization, so it wouldn't work without it

edit I see that there are some known issues with cm13 and google play services :/ https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/119106-cm-13-update-error-unfortunately-google-play-services-stopped/

try to update it if you can, or I'm not sure what else to suggest you at the moment

Try updating Google Play Services to the latest version (9.something) and make sure you don't have background data restricted for it. I was having the same problem and this solved it.

Let me know if that works.

I updated mine today and have 9.6.83, you might try seeing if it will let you update. I had trouble finding it in the app store on my phone, you might try clicking this link on your phone. If it gives you the option to update then do it.

Otherwise you can try the app recommended in this thread to check and see if Safety Net is working. That's about all I can think of.

Try updating Google Play Services to the latest version (9.something) and make sure you don't have background data restricted for it. I just did this and it fixed the problem for me.

Let me know if that works.

I've had the same issues got awhile now. I did a search and found a thread that eventually linked me to the Google play services page in the play store, seems it wasn't auto updating. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Edit: I just now noticed this so I'm unsure if this will help or not, but I remembered your thread and thought you might want to check

Edit 2: I also came across a thread that says to disable the 5ghz wifi frequency.

I would try clearing Play Store cache and then click on this link to attempt a reinstall\

This is really strange, I've never had an issue with Google Play Services like this. It would always auto-update, on my Galaxy Nexus, S3, and G4, all rooted

Sometimes updates roll out for different devices at different times to avoid server overload. Try going to the Play Services page in the Store an seeing if it'll let you manually update.

It's probably for their autocorrect/prediction algorithm. I think it's a bit nonsensical to be worried about Google's own keyboard for permissions really when you're using Google's operating system. Google Play Services pretty much has access to absolutely everything on your phone anyway. Don't think a keyboard to change your visual style is gonna make much of a difference.

Have a look at the permissions here. Don't take my word for it though, you can find plenty of information about GPS all over the internet and what it has access to.

Weird, does the play store, gmail, youtube e.t.c work? Did you flash the 5.1 ROM (shouldn't be a problem, but it'll help me find the cause). Check the date and time is correct, and whether you can update the services from the play store

Edit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms is the link for the google services

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

That should link to the google play services app. If it has an update button click update.

If it does not then reboot your phone and check for app updates.

what happens when you try to install an app? force stop play store, clear cache and reboot phone and try again (long press on the shortcut, hit my apps and update all to ensure Play services are up to date). make sure play services is up to date.

if that doesn't work, you'll need to clear storage on play store.

The Proximity sensor should only be enabled when a call is being made from the earpiece.

I would try this:

Long press on phone app shortcut, hit app info. Force Stop. Clear Storage. Enable all permissions (including under Advanced: Display over other apps and Modify system settings).

Now long press on play store, my apps, update all. Then update play services by opening this link and checking to see if there is an update option, here.

Restart phone. Then call your voicemail and test the phone. Just holding it, when you put your hand over the top of the phone, the screen should go off. If it doesn't, you could uninstall the updates for the phone app (just search for phone in play store) and try again.

I found out the issue on mine and I helped out others. It was google play services. I just Uninstalled the update and my connected app showed up. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Let me know if it works for you. You may need to restart your phone.

Ok :) Great, could you check back with me in a few more sessions to see if it sticks? I do wonder why it would have such a big impact though, could you also please check if theres an update available to the google play services for you? As always, Ill see what I can dig up in the meantime!

Go to Play Store settings, in about check for certified device, if it says its certified its all good, then try updating Play Services https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US

Are you experiencing any other issues with apps crashing or being buggy?

If it's just the google camera app, long press on the shortcut, app info, clear storage. then search for it in the goolag store and hit uninstall (it just reverts the version to the default one the phone came with). then test it, make sure it works. then long press on play store, my apps, update all. update goolag play services by clicking this link. reboot. test

When you are on a Duo call, the front video preview that shows your face, what do you see - a blank screen? Can you update all of your apps (long press on play store, my apps, update all), also update Google Play Services by clicking this link (if there's no update option they are up to date). wait 40 seconds, then check settings, security - and update both options there. restart device and try again.

"Google Play services" serves for authentication in this case, it's not the same as the Google Play app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US

> This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services.

Additional background. Google has spent the past few years breaking up parts of the Android into distinct services and apps so that if your device manufacturer stops offering updates with new versions of Android or security patches, Google can still update parts of Android's core functionality. This means that even if you are stuck with Android 10\11 with no security patches now or in the near future, Google can still offer you some protection with updates to those separated apps and services.

I did make sure the Google Play Store and Google Play Services were up to date during my attempts to fix the problem, both had updates available. I think it would be worth it to check if either of those have updates and then try again if they do.

Or maybe that won't fix anything because Google sucks, I don't know.

alright. weird. just make sure location is enabled and your phone isn't in battery saver mode. update all apps (long press on play store, my apps, update all) and check for an update for play services herehere.

have you updated all your apps and play services (along with OS update)? Long-press on the play store shortcut, hit my apps, then update all. Then click this link and open it in Chrome (it'll open the hidden update to google play services, takes about 45 seconds to update in the background). Then go to settings, security and update both options there. When its done, restart your phone and try again.

I get this things are important to you but they are small software bugs (or user error, sorry) that can be resolved.

After you restart your phone, try searching for the app again, the play store might take some time to get used to.

just long press on the map shortcut, app info, turn off picture in picture. works for any app that has pip.

while you're there, to fix your lockup issues, clear storage and cache, then enable all permissions.

then long press on the Play store icon hitting my apps and update all. last thing is to update your Play services by clicking this link on your phone, hit update. let it update in the background for 1 minute, and restart your phone.

you're saying that your phone like locks up like freezes or just goes to the lock screen while the maps is on?

Thank you very much, you pointed me to the right direction!!

I did clear the data, but could (at first) not remove the updates (was not allowed). Then I followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-2XJdhkvsE but without the last step (installing APK) because that did not work at first but while I was trying to figure out how to find the correct APK I just tried again to remove the updates and then it worked.

This somehow reset a lot, I got emails from Google welcoming me to my S10, and Samsung started some sort of setup where it would ask me to install a lot of apps (such as Spotify). I checked all these off, but in the process it also installed Google apps and then I could use this direct link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms to go to the app store. This had not worked before (all browsers would close immediately), but now it did. I had to then stop the installation that had started automatically, then start it again, and then I was "back".

Wow. I'm never going to update Android again on this phone (don't need the new stuff anyway). Thanks again for helping me!

update all your apps (which will include different google apps and services), and play services by clicking this link. There are a few apps (twitter and reddit) that still need to be updated. Try reinstalling them to see if the issue gets resolved. You aren't experiencing a hardware issue. This next February update will be pretty big (on Tuesday) and most of the bugs are now resolved, but (I know nobody wants to hear this) some people will need to do a factory reset to fix some of the glitches. I did after January Update and it fixed 3 main issues I was having.

Also, check Settings, Accessibility - and turn those apps off to test any other pausing or glitches you might experience. That issue should also be fixed on Tuesday.

clearing app data probably won't do anything. worth a try but, let's look at other possibilities.

Turn wifi off when testing (so you can see your mobile connectivity). Then open Messages app, go to settings and Chat Features, is everything ok?

Is this a new phone? If it is, did you turn off chat features (RCS) before switching?

Update all your apps (force stop play store, right click on it, update all). Let all apps and services update.

Then click this link to update Play Services hidden update. Needs to be opened or pasted into your default browser.

takes about a full minute to update in the background (sometimes more). just leave phone for a few minutes. then restart phone and test it.

hmmm bizarre.

I wonder if it's a glitch on your phone specifically or something Changed for everybody. Maybe you can make another post asking if others on Fi have the same bug, then you can quickly reflash Android and wipe using the Android Flash Tool.

Yeah this sucks but isn't Mint Mobile Cheap? I'm in CA so we don't have cheap pricing like you guys do. and I know it sucks switching .... shit never works out right.

Android has two different mobility reset options, one in Settings, System, Reset, Mobile reset. The other in Settings, Internet, top right you'll see arrow and wrench.

also at the bottom of the SIM options, Do you have "Access Point Names" where you can reset that default? it's quick and easy to do but I forget if Google Fi gives you access to that or not. they might remove that entire setting (Settings, Internet, SIMs --> at the bottom you'll APN).

can you try one last thing four stop the Play Store then long press on the shortcut and hit my apps and then update all.

then open this link in Google Chrome or your default browser and it'll show the hidden update for Play Services, join the beta and update. it'll take up to 2 minutes to install in the background

Search for carrier services in the Play Store and join the beta update also for that, takes 3 mins and you'll need to force stop the Play Store to update it again and enforce the data.

last thing is to go to settings security and update both options there. so that's four separate updates including Play Services, apps, play system and system security.

reboot phone and try again. it's important to update these anyhow and it seems that carrier services is fixing a lot of weird issues with mobility.

It has so much to do with the "AI" processing. everything now in Google camera is about what it "thinks" it sees".

I would clear storage, uninstall the camera update, then update all your apps and play services (the latter is hidden, use this link). restart phone and try again?

I did this after I couldn't get any "top shots" to appear. then right away, it worked (6 Pro)

and unrestricted battery usage is on for the app and you've restarted your phone? ok.... in that case can you force stop Play store shortcut, Long press, my apps, update all. then click this link or paste it into chrome (it opens the hidden play services update). it takes about a minute (90 full seconds) to update in the background. restart phone then try.

do other media apps appear in the notification shade at all? or just this app? you can try reinstalling it also

this was a bug that appeared in the summer and was resolved for most.

try this: force stopping play store, right click on the shortcut, my apps, update all. then click this link in Chrome Browser to update Play Services. That takes 40 secs to update in the background. then check both updates in Android Settings, Security.

Now Force stop on messaging app and clear storage (won't delete your messages). then go back and to that section and give all permissions (including Advanced) for messages app. restart it and test again.

restart into safe mode, enable wifi (because it turns it off) and disable bluetooth. Force stop on play store, right-click on the icon and hit my apps, update all. Then go to Android Settings, Security, update both. last thing is to update play services by opening this link in chrome: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

if you search on this sup for "recovery factory reset" or something close to that, you will see a ton of people had this issue (I did also) and this fixed it. remember updating play services takes 45 seconds in the background.

let me know if it works

so it only happens when you're charging? really odd behavior, never heard of this one... you should have to use a different keyboard and it's important to kind of figure out what's going on here.

can you update all your apps and then your Google Play store and system updates.. first thing is long press on the Google Play store, Hit my apps and then update all. sometimes you got to force stop and search for them after you've done so. then go to Android settings and security and update both of those options. last thing you want to do is update Play Services with this link:: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

give it 30 seconds to install and then restart and check again.

if that doesn't work, try typing in safe mode. bring up the power menu and long press on the restart option and test to see if it still happens then.

try this:
login to Android. Open the Power Menu. Long press on the "Restart" icon. it will now restart into Safe Mode.
Enable Wifi (it gets disabled in Safe Mode. Now long press on the play store icon. hit my apps, and update all. wait until they are all updated.
Update Google Play Services: Copy this link to chrome (it will automatically open the Play Store)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
give it 1 minute to update in the background.
then open Android Settings, Security and update the two options Security/System Options.
restart your phone and should be good to go. let me know if this worked

try this:

login to Android. Open the Power Menu. Long press on the "Restart" icon. it will now restart into Safe Mode.

Enable Wifi (it gets disabled in Safe Mode. Now long press on the play store icon. hit my apps, and update all. wait until they are all updated.

Update Google Play Services: Copy this link to chrome (it will automatically open the Play Store)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
give it 1 minute to update in the background.

then open Android Settings, Security and update the two options Security/System Options.

restart your phone and should be back up..

restart into safe mode and turn off Bluetooth. enable wifi (it gets disabled in safe mode). then long press on play store icon, go to my apps and update all.

then update Play Services using this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

that takes about a minute in the background. after that, go to Android Settings, Security and update both options (System and Security).

restart phone. check now...

it's a known issue with Android 12 - and has come back again in the past few days. all you can do is update all your apps and system security (like the other comment stated). Check all your apps are updated, long-press on play store, my apps, update all. then update Play Store App by clicking on the link below - wait 45 secs for it to update in the background and restart your phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

this is happening on some Pixels with the December update.

start the phone, as soon as it boots, hold down power button to see the power menu - hold down on the restart option. it will restart to safe mode.

enable wifi (because it disables). make sure Bluetooth is off. now long press on the Play Store icon, hit my apps and then update all. Make sure they're all updated.

Then go to Android settings, security and update both the system and security updates.

last thing is to check the Google Play services update opening up the Play Store and then going to settings, About, update play store or clicking on the link below. restart and it should be fixed.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Yes. Google Play Services is "just" another app in the play store, and gets updated the same way as other apps - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

For anyone else experiencing this particular issue, try updating your Google Play Services version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Google Play Services is very different from Google Play. Its main purpose is providing the Google login functionality, and, therefore, the G Drive synchronization. However, it also integrates important APIs used by other apps, which effectively require those permissions. If you revoke them from Play Services, apps which rely on these APIs will become unusable or some of the features unavailable / restricted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play_Services

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

You can update Google Play Services from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

If you want to check the status of your Google Play Services, you can use this 3rd party app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weberdo.apps.serviceinfo

To turn on background data, follow this guide: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1663315?hl=en

Make sure your Google Play Services is up to date

Try updating your Google Play Services version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

In addition to what was already said, here are some random things I might try:

Make sure you're connected to the correct account in Google Play Games. There's a setting in there about which account to automatically connect with; usually, this is the account it's trying to connect you with.
Force close Magium and open it again.
Verify your internet connection, and check to see if there's a Google outage. The Eastern US and Japan had Google troubles today, for example. https://downdetector.com/status/google/map/. If there is an outage in your area, there's nothing to do but wait until it's over. Usually, they recover within a few hours.
Clear the app cache of Magium and Google Play Games. If that doesn't work, clear their app data — you may need to log back in after either of these things. It'll also remove all local saves from Magium, so be careful.
Update Google Play services.

Try updating your Google Play Services version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

I've tried bluestack,andy and cheap tablet all stuck on intro. Use Droid4x, install Google Play Services and Google Play Games if you want to use google's account and then manually install Kai-ri-Sei APK or use Market Helper to change your device type to something that the game will recognize on Play Store. This emulator will work, no black screen.
Tutorial with pictures
Kai-ri-Sei Million Arthur APK
Market Helper
Google Play Services
Droid4x
Use web browser to install GooglePlayServices directly to the emulator since the emulator's Play Store app were unable to find it

Just wait a bit and the play store will update itself. Also check if you can update the play services: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms (open this on the phone)

Update google services

The latest version of Reddit might not be compatible on your phone. Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) is quite old (Android 12 is the latest with Android 13 on it's way in Aug/Sept). Here are some things I would suggest you to try:

Go to your settings > about device > updates and check for updates. If you don't find any, then your phone might be maxed at Android 5.1.1.
If you are using **Galaxy J3 (2016)**, I think you might be able to get an upgrade to 7.1.1 (Nougat). However, as u/DianeDesRivieres has said, I also don't see any Firmware for South Africa higher than Android 5 for your device in your region.

Check for updates/install Reddit form the Play Store website on a PC by signing in to the same google account you use on your phone.

If your are not finding the update on Play Store, if might be that due to the factory reset, **Play Store** and **Google Play services** rolled back to their factory versions and that is what's causing the error. Usually, Google Play services should start updating itself and the Play Store automatically. If not, see if there's an update for Google Play services.
You might not find **Google Play services** on the Play Store; however, you can access it by searching it via your browser which will then redirect and open the page on Play Store.
**Google Play services**: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

You can try installing apk files for the Reddit app but the latest version of the app might not work. If you remember the version of the Reddit app you used before the factory rest; download the apk file for that version and install. If you don't then you might have to do a trial and error method to find a version of the app that works.

Alternately, you can try 3rd part reddit clients like **Infinity**, **Boost**, etc. Even then you might have the same problem I mentioned above with the latest app version not being compatible with your device. So, might have to do a trial and error method to find a version of the app that works.
A good place to find apk files are **APKMirror**: https://www.apkmirror.com

Here is the APKMirror page for the latest Reddit version: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/redditinc/reddit/#variants from here try the variants that have *Minimum Version* Android 4.4+ or Android 5.0+

To install apk files, you have to allow installation of apps from unknow sources. Got to Settings > Security (Lock screen & security) > Unknow Sources. Enable that and install the apk file you downloaded.

Hope you find a solution :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

try this, it's fixing most. just need to boot safe mode (Long press the restart button in the power menu) when your phone restarts, clear cache and data on bluetooth app. then enable wifi, update all your google service apps. do that by long pressing on play store, my apps, update all. you might have a ton needing to be updated. then also check for latest "Play Services update" clicking this link.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/rfzz6j/comment/hoj82gn/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

its a glitch. Netflix has a ton of shitty checks that sometimes fail. had this happen a few times in CA.

update all your apps (long press on play store, my apps update all). then check if Play Services is up to date (link at the bottom). clear cache and restart.

if that still doesn't work, download it from apkmirror - it's safe (unlike other apk sites).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-8-10-0-build-11-40089-release/

use the apk file, if that doesn't work use the bundle (install using the free/open source app called SAI).

if this still doesn't work you'll have to clear storage on play store and play services apps

I finally found play services and can see that it auto-updated for me on December 8th, so I think I the update has likely broken the Vance cast option.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

It's the only change I can work out, as I haven't updated vanced itself.

It might be that your Moto Xoom would work. I think the whole notification 2FA system is handled by Google Play Services, so it could just be out of date.

Update to latest Play Services by opening this Play Store link on the tablet's browser - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Then tap open in play store, and then in Play Store, hit the update button. Once it's finished, try the authentication system again.

is this a new phone or using a new cell provider? check chat features in text messages app, if it's acting up disable it.

then like the. other comment said, check updates for all your apps and device. first clear storage on the messages app (long press on the icon, app info, clear storage). for updates, open play store, hit the profile icon, then manage apps. then check play services update by clicking here. after, go to settings security and check both updates there. restart phone, and ask someone to text you.

hopefully the update next week will fix it. make sure you send feedback to Google in the About Section.

one last thing, just make sure all your google services and apps are up to date. in the play store, under the profile icon, hit 'manage apps' and also check and update play services. pretty serious bug, seeing how it's persisting even after a restart.

you could also sideload the ota, steps are pretty simple.

which apps? a few things, on the most important apps, long press on the app , then app info, then give it unrestricted battery usage. do that for gmail, phone, and a few other apps that are important for notifications.

also, sometimes Adaptive battery can cause notifications delays so turn that off. keep your apps updated. every few days, Google is rolling out a ton of fixes to its apps and Services. so best way to long-press on Play Store icon, my apps, update all. and also check play services separately.

do a restart after making these changes.

just keep updating all your apps and eventually the survey option will be able to turn off

you sure your apps are up to date? long press on play store icon, hit my apps, then update all the click this link to update play services.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

the toggles glitched for me also but eventually worked after a few days

make sure to send feedback about this to Google by going to Settings, About, Feedback

don't return it. its the upgrade from Android 9--10 --11 --12. Android has a ton if issues upgrading.

try clearing storage on the Google app, then update all the apps and play services. long press on play store app, my apps, update all. then update play services. restart phone. if that doesn't work, or you want a better, glitch free experience - back everything up, and do a factory reset ... its shocking how well the 3 series runs after a factory reset. if you need help just let me know/

Check make sure Google Play Services is upto date.

Usually when you reset, this becomes such an older version, some things don't work til it's updated.

it should appear (on the newer versions of the Phone app) even if you don't have Duo installed (at least on Pixel 3 series and newer.

Do you have all your apps updated (including play services?) long-press on the play store app, hit my apps, then update all. then on your phone click this link to update services. restart and see if it appears. make sure all permissions are on for the phone app.

you probably would have noticed it right away if this happened at the start. do all your emails/sms notifications appear within a decent amount of time? like when your phone is idle (locked), and you send an email from another device (tablet/pc etc) do they come in without you touching your phone?

clearing cache isn't really going to help a situation like this. its more of a clear storage situation (instead of cache in an app or service) but that resets all settings in that app, so for example if you did Google App, you'd have to repair your watch etc. updating widgets are tied to google services and the google app (which is like it's own operating system just on its own at almost 1GB).

are all your apps and play services updated? long press on the play store app, click "my apps" and update all. then click here (on your phone) to make sure services is updated. and restart phone after.

so personalize app data in privacy is enabled, and you have location always on (for the at a glance widget to update). when you use a music widget like music or spotify, it doesn't change at all on the widget or lock screen? make sure you give unrestricted battery to all these apps you use (including google and bluetooth app).

try removing the account and re-adding it, or add a secondary account to see if that account gets any notifications. update all your apps and Google Play Services. try to give us an update on your situation, a ton of people have the issue but never upstate the thread

ok so you haven't had the corruption msg on the 6, ok that's fine. random restarts can be tricky. all I can suggest is removing all apps that could cause issues (its a good time to really clean house) and remove the malwarebytes app now that you've done a scan (because it just slows things down). update play services and all apps (long press on play store shortcut, hit my apps to update)

the only thing again I would suggest is factory reset and again don't restore apps, and only install like 3 or 4 third part apps a day. its really the only way to get to the bottom of it, and that's what I would do personally (I would also download the full image and flash it after wiping in recovery mode - flash both slots A/B separately) and limit third party app installs to 3 or 4 a day. this is the way I've always resolved issues, trying to find out if its hardware or software. and the quicker you do it, the more likely you'll get a new phone if it is hardware (which I don't think it is)

yeah something seems wrong with your messages app. all I can suggest is to clear storage for messages app (it won't delete your messages), force stop, give it all permissions, and update all apps (which will include other services) and play services. then restart. if it still doesn't work, last thing is uninstall updates in google messages app from the play store (search for messages in play store) it will revert back to original version that came installed with your phone (or close to it)

it can be hard to pinpoint it but it's a lot easier to reset than to get a new phone. consider a reset and when doing a restore, just pick the most important apps you need. that's really all I can suggest (and currently making sure Play Services and all your apps are updated)

which phone? make sure you update Play Services and all your apps, including the camera app. portrait mode will be very slow (along with HDR++ in regular camera mode)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_GB&gl=US

Check it's installed, up to date, and has the permissions it needs.

try this: first make sure all your apps and play services are updated (it sounds like you did apps but check for services) first. search for chrome in the play store, hit uninstall updates, then try updating again .... if that still doesn't work, update chrome from apkmirror, I can help you grab the right version if you want. .... long press on play store shortcut, hit My Apps, its the best way to quickly check for app updates.

That's play System. Play services is here (open it in chrome browser or go here for a quick guide)

Then long press on the play store, click my apps and update all your apps.

Does Gmail have unrestricted battery usage? Long press and go to app info, force stop/clear cache/unrestrictive battery. Restart phone. Should fix it. Make sure Google Play Service and all apps are updated in play store. After a few days if it still has an issue remove and re-add Google account

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Happens when u update Google play services to the latest version.

Only workaround is to uninstall the update for the time being.

Uninstall updates to both digital well being and google play services

U can simply search for digital well being app on play store and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Happens when u update Google play services to the latest version.

Only workaround is to uninstall the update for the time being.

It will come automatically ... eventually. This is separate from the main System update that others are referring to. Sometimes it can be 3 months behind. Not much you can do, except make sure your Google Play Services (another type of update!) is also updated, which is important and can help with "Play System" updates.

The delay of the Play System update goes back almost 2 years now. Not much you can do (sometimes a factory reset doesn't even fix it). Just make sure Google Play Services are updated, which is almost as important, and can sometimes help initiate the update for play system. Click this link in Chrome and it should open Google Play to check if play services is updated.

Here you go, download the stock rom for your tablet and flash it - https://developers.google.com/android/images#nakasi

Instructions are on the site.

Once you have that flashed, if you're fine on 5.1, you can stay on it, you don't necessarily need a custom ROM if it's enough for the app you need. Ultimately, an older version of Android is going to be a bit faster than a new version.

Anyway, once you have that flashed to latest 5.1, Sign into the Play Store, and then update your Google Play Services by opening this link on the tablet, and then selecting open in play store. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US Then hit update and let it install.

You can manually update Google Play Services this way, which seems to be a necessity now for freshly setup Android 5. I think the existing version preinstalled on Android 5 is too old to update itself.

Next you can update the Play Store too, by going into settings, and tapping play Store version. It will tell you that a new version of Play Store will be downloaded and installed. You can then go back to the desktop and leave the tablet for a bit while connected to the internet, and it will update the Play Store.

Now you can proceed to use it as normal, and the Play Store should work normally too.

Is this app updated? Google Play Services

> Questo non è open source: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=it&gl=US

Vero ma anche per i Google Play Services esiste una versione (client) di terze parti completamente open source al netto di qualche parziale implementazione: microG.

Copying my comment for another thread, but this solved it for me. After uninstalling it, I was able to reinstall Google Play services from Apkmirror using this link and then update it to the latest version. Just note this is the beta version as I'm enrolled in the beta program. Over 24H and I haven't had the issue come back yet.

I'm having this exact same issue on the Pixel 5 and it's driving me nuts. It just started a few days ago and the only solution is to reboot the phone and then it works for a bit.

Edit: I uninstalled Google Play Services from the Play Store earlier and rebooted the phone. Its been a few hours but haven't seen it hang up yet. I do see in my App List but when I go back to the Play Store, I don't see an option to install it anymore. I haven't ran into any other issues yet.

Here's the link to the Play Services in the store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US

Just out of curiosity, what version of Google Play Services do you have?

> And the point is you're still using a version of the Gpay app. You don't need to manually install one, but you DO need an app to operate the NFC chip - it doesn't know what to do on it's own.

The reason I'm pointing this out is because I don't want people to believe they're not using Gpay just because they're using the integrated version. That's all

The disconnect I think we are having here is that the new GPay apk isn't for NFC tasks. It links back to the UI for this app to perform those GPay NFC functions: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

> Google Play services is used to update Google apps and apps from Google Play. This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services. Google Play services also enhances your app experience. It speeds up offline searches, provides more immersive maps, and improves gaming experiences.

It is not simply a version of Gpay as you put it.

The new GPay is basically an apk for Send, and the future Plex accounts (Google's wannabe clone of Chime).

The old Google Pay apk in Android 10 and higher also doesn't provide the task necessary to make GPay NFC work.

That's why both of the pay apps can be removed and deleted whilst NFC contactless continues to work

> Yeah and your ears and eyes are the apps that drive the brain. Without either one the brain can't complete it's function. Do you want to continue proving my point?

Let me try again. I think you may be lacking somewhat intellectually.

In Android 10 or higher, the apk you are referring to no longer is a program that provides the specific task for the hardware (NFC) in question. It is no longer necessary to even have it installed.

This is the apk that provides the specific task for the hardware in question: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

> This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services. Google Play services also enhances your app experience. It speeds up offline searches, provides more immersive maps, and improves gaming experiences.

Those two apks are not the same. The Play Services apk is not just a renamed Pay apk. It is also not a new apk created just for the NFC task.

Its not that hard to understand. Two different apk files, one depreciated, obsolete, and no longer used to provide the task in the newer OS.

The Google Play Services. The stuff that microG is made to replace. I certainly did not make it up. It's pre-installed on almost every Android phone on earth.

If you don't know what the thing that microG exists to replace even is, why are you even here?

Update your Play Services; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_GB&gl=US

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Here, install from here.

Btw, which gapps are you flashing?

I would suggest you factory reset your phone again, Aptoide isn't exactly the most trustworthy source out there. After you reset the phone, connect to wifi and sign into your Google account, open chrome, and go to this link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

That is a link to Google Play Services on the Play Store. Hit open in Play Store button, and when the play store loads, tap update, and wait for the play services update to complete. then close the Play Store, and let the phone sit for a while. Eventually, the Play Store should update itself to the most recent version. Open the Play Store, go to settings, and tap Play Store version. It will tell you if the Play Store is up to date. Now try installing your apps. It should work fine.

Nearby share appeared and went through Google play services so even old phones from 2017 and earlier that haven't been "updated" in years got this feature

Guess I ruined the circle jerk, woops

How is Nearby Share suddenly available on most android devices? The common thought would be an Android operating system firmware update, but it’s actually simpler than that. Nearby Share is part of Google Play Services, a required component of Android devices that ships with the Google Play Store. Play Services is updated through the Play Store, making it much easier for Google to add Nearby Share to many devices. Google To use Nearby Share, you need to find a device that is nearby, has the screen unlocked, and has Bluetooth and location services turned on. A notification will appear on the receiving device asking to become visible to the sender. The sender then selects the receiving device and off it goes. As a security precaution, the receiver must choose to become visible and accept the transfer every time. This means you will never receive something without your consent.

Play Services: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_GB

See if there is an updated. Second option is to go through your purchase history and View on the Tasker purchase.

Click on the link below, open it in Play Store, then scroll down a little and click on leave beta

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

I've been having this same issue and I just fixed it. I installed Google Play Services Beta, then left the beta and it worked for me!

Go to this link and scroll down and click on "Early Access."

For everyone on the play services beta and not receiving the update: Here is the link to the Play Services app. You can't find it manually anymore. Check for an update manually. It did not update automatically for me even tho there was an update 2 days ago. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Could be because of an old Google Play version, what version do you have? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

API-Fehler 17 heißt, dass die API nicht verbunden werden konnte. Hast du Android 6 oder höher? Bist du im Google-Account angemeldet? Hast du die neuste Version der Google Play Dienste installiert? D.h., unter System-Einstellungen → Google, siehst du dort den Menüpunkt zu COVID-19? Wenn nicht, versuch mal, über Google Play die neusten Google Play Services zu installieren.

click to check available update for Google Play services

Also open Play store and tap on play store version once or multiple times to check if there any update available .

Chrome should work fine, update to the latest version possible (supported by 4.4) by grabbing it from apkmirror. Do the same for YouTube. Now, if YouTube still doesn't work, it's most likely because of Google Play Services not being updated. Open this link on the tablet (App listing in Play Store for Play Services) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Hit open in Play Store if the website doesn't automatically take you to the Play Store. Then hit update.

If that doesn't work, you can find the latest APK for Google Play Services for 4.4 on apkmirror and manually install it.

Ok. You can either install the .APK, or try to update from the Google Play Store, assuming it works, so try that first.

Open this link on the tablet (App listing in Play Store for Play Services) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Hit open in Play Store if the website doesn't automatically take you to the Play Store. Then hit update.

Is Google play services installed? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Have you got multiple google accounts on your device? Have you any updates pending in the play store? e.g. for https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_AU

Clear out cache and data for play store. Also check if Google play services is updated - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

interesting...I don't typically use use a disabler, but the package should be com.google.android.gms. if you're truly having trouble and don't have any of the apps II listed before, an additional method to find a package name would be to search the app name in the play store, and look at the url:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Safety net is part of the auto-updating Google Play Services layer. which is a weird app, in that it can't be searched for on Playstore and doesn't appear in 'My apps' on Playstore. Most current version is 20.06.16.

Not sure if it's the solution, but a lot of times, setting up a new phone or restoring your phone from a backup after a factory reset, things don't work quite right until you get the latest Google Play Services app installed.

Try installing directly from the Play Store first with this URL from the phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US

If that still hangs, won't install, etc. you can get the app from here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-20-06-16-release/#downloads then install it manually after downloading it.

Don't bother downloading Play Services from APK Mirror if it does update from the Play Store - it won't make a difference. Plus the Play Store will make sure you're using the right version whereas APK Mirror has a lot of versions to choose from (mostly previous versions, but possibly also meant for different hardware).

I mean Google play SERVICES https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms You can't install it unless you root your Huawei phones.

This is what I got from support -

Hello,

To sign in to the game with your Google Play account:

check for updates and update all Google apps and services on your device;
make sure the game is installed on your device directly from Google Play;
make sure your Internet connection is stable;
after that try to log in manually from the game menu (top left button).

If this doesn't help try the following:

Find "Google Play services" in the app manager in the device's settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
Force stop this app and then activate it again
Reboot your device

Thank you.

I'm posting this comment for anyone passing by who may be dealing with a similar problem.

I realized that I'm a beta user for Google Play Services. I opted out of the beta program. Then, I disabled the app in my phone's settings and enabled it again. That solved the problem.

I'm writing this comment for anyone passing by who may be dealing with a similar problem.

I realized that the Google Play Services

Hi! Can you please try this? Go to Settings->Security->Device Administrators->Uncheck "Find My Device". Now look for "Google Play Services" in Application Settings and UNINSTALL UPDATES. After that is done, open this link to your Google Play Store to manually update it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

*Let me know if it resolves the "Device Incompatibility" pop-up around 3 minutes. Hope it helps!

Find "Google Play Services" in Application Settings and UNINSTALL UPDATES. Then manully update the app via this link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

How about turning off the "Find My Device" (Turns back On every restart) in Device Administrators? You can also try Uninstalling Updates of "Google Play Services" and manually updating it thru here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Make sure your google play services are fully updated and you have Google Play Games downloaded.

Out of curiosity, is the other phone an older Android and maybe either recently reset or not used in a while?

Most of the time when this happens are on newly set-up phones carrying an older version of Google Play Services - AutoApps and friends need a specific version of for the verification to work.

Quickest way of finding out; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Shy of that, reboot that other device.

Click this link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

And update manually,

If doesn't work then use this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weberdo.apps.serviceinfo

If still doesn't work then check your device architecture and update from playservices from apkmirror.

I had this problem and solved it by downloading the beta for Google Play services.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&ah=cGuOvz5xLnwoDc324bg_bx0udDk

I've had the same issue.
* My Workaround*

Login with a parental Google-Account
Make sure that the device is updated to the last possible status that includes Software/Firmware Updates and even manual update tasks for apps like Google Apps: Google Play-Dienste / Google Play Services should be up-to-date too
Additional Google Apps should be installed manually to fix the install issue with a family-link controlled account (Links provided for the Google Playstore in DE) - The most important apps are:
Google Mein Gerät Finden / Google Find my Device (Google Android Device Manager for GPS and Location check)
Google Family Link Manager (wasn't workin for me automatically within the Family Link Wizard (installation proccess failed), like described above/same issue)
Google Family Link für Kinder und Teenager / Google Family Link for Kids (Optional: pretty useful for the kids too to get infos back and can be used to start the initial process without downloading)
parental Google-Account needs to be deleted under Settings > Sync > Google
Add the Google Account from your child - Can be done via Settings / Synchronizing Options or directly through the Google Family Link App for Kids (after manual installation)
Business As usual: configure, manage and control your kids device with Google Family Link

If this shouldn't work out-of-the-box then check the permissions of the several apps that are needed for Google Family Link to run properly (see above), you can find them under Settings > Manage Apps > [chosen app] > App permissions

That's it!
I hope this little tutorial helps everyone with the same issue.

They warned us on social media to update Google Play Services or it won't load. If it's up to date and still stuck for you then contact support.

Fastest way possible, go here and update your Google Play Services...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&rdid=com.google.android.gms

It will say Installed, click the Installed button anyway and it will bring up a list of all of your devices. My Moto360 Gen2 was updated, my Falster was not (which was the only version that didn't match between the two) Pushed the update and voila!

I've seen this issue a lot during my perusal of the many emulators out there trying to find one that worked. The 'Google Play Services' application needs to be updated. It's possible the OP has automatic updates turned off and it simply needs updated. Dresartx please see link below and see if it needs updated on your device. If it does, also try a restart just to make sure the services all come back up anew.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US

Enroll to beta program

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Try opting in Google play services beta that dropping my battery usage to less than 5%

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en...

Yeah, something's going on for sure. Android System is taking too much of your battery, too. But that could be directly related to Play Services. Also, it looks like there's an idle drain?

This is a tricky one. Have you updated Google Play Services ? It doesn't always auto update itself and you can't access it directly on Google Play . On your phone's browser, type in Google's search "Google Play Services", and on the very top you'll see a link to it. Tap it and it should take you to Google Play directly. Or copy/paste this link on your browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

The latest stable update for it was on March 22. Check and confirm that you have the same version and take it from there. Have you ever done a cache wipe ?

Make sure play services are up to-date

Please check if the Play Services app for both phones are up to date:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

I wouldn't touch Google Play Store. What the "Nvidia guy" said is just false. There is no uninstalling updates on GPS.

So uninstall updates from Google Play Services and you can play the game just fine. Without the SHiFT support and such. Also it'll still work if it "auto updates" because it's not downloading the same one you'd find on google chrome (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&rdid=com.google.android.gms)

So I guess the Shield updates with Something to make it work, but if you try downloading that exact version from the play store then it stops working?

Yeah.. Still nothing.

I mean. " Google Play services is used to update Google apps and apps from Google Play "

I can still update things just fine I guess but if I go to download this version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&rdid=com.google.android.gms) from Google Play then the game just stops working again. So.. idk. Nvidia and Google aren't much help.

Importantly go and report the issue (0 stars) on the play services app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms Make sure you leave a bad review so they fix it.

First, some background. Google Play and Google Play Services are two separate apps. (On Android, apps are uniquely identified by "package name", and the one for Google Play is com.android.vending whereas for Google Play Services is com.google.android.gms.)

It is Play's job to update Play Services. (You can see the Play Services listing here.) It is also Play's job to update itself.

Two guesses as to what might be going on:

Play is crashing, and it can't update or can't finish updating Play Services.
Play is trying to update itself. When it does this, it might be closing and trying to relaunch, which might give it the appearance of crashing. (Eventually you should be able to launch it, though, so maybe this isn't it.)

I'm not sure what the solution is, but here are some things I'd try:

Reboot, keep the phone on, and see if Play runs in the background and auto-updates some apps. If so, it might get Google Play Services updated while it's doing that.
If that doesn't happen after rebooting, launch Play and open the store listing for Google Play services, then see if there is an update button you can press.
If none of that works, go to settings (Settings -> Apps -> See all NNN apps) and go into the details page for both "Google Play Store" and "Google Play services", and choose "uninstall updates" (from the menu) for both. Then launch the Google Play to let it start over from square one updating itself and Google Play Services. When you launch Play, you can check its version in its menu (Settings -> Play Store version). Hopefully you should be able to launch it, see one version listed there, then exit Play, wait a bit, and next time you launch it you should have a new version which you can also launch.

you've gotta click this link and click 'update' if it shows. if not, you've gotta sideload the APK manually

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Try updating Google Play services. May be related to a SafetyNet change.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Did you already check if the Location Permission for PGo has been enabled? You can also try to manually update Google Play Services by opening this link to your Playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Turn Off your GPS. In Application Settings look for "Google Play Services". Look for the UNINSTALL UPDATES option and proceed.
Open this link to your Playstore and manually update Google Play Services: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
Login to PGo as usual.

Try updating your google play services:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_AU

if that link doesnt work due to region, simply go to google and type "google play services" and the app store link should be one of the firs toptions

wow you waited for 4 hours?! It might be faster if you do this:

Remove all your Google accounts from your phone. It can be found in Settings>Accounts. Tap EACH of the Google accounts and on the upper right corner of the screen there is an option to REMOVE ACCOUNT.
Look for "Google Play Services" in Application Settings. Choose UNINSTALL UPDATE (usually located on the upper right corner of the screen).
Restart your phone.
Re-add your Google account/s in Settings>Accounts
Manually update Google Play Services from this link. Open it on Play Store when prompted:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Login to PGo as usual.

Hope it helps.

go HERE from your phone, see if it lets you update. Or, as citizen mentioned, maybe the latest update removed the setting.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

You should bookmark this so next time you enroll it is much more easier to leave the beta program.

well looks like your Google Maps is working properly after you updated it. Maybe try SigningOut/Sign In to PGo? Another troubleshooting step is to look for 'Google Play Services' in Application Settings then 'Uninstall Updates' (Upper right corner of the screen). Then Update it manually thru here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Try this: Application Settings>Google Play Services>Uninstall Updates>Manually update Play Services via this link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Now after updating Play Services, toggle your GPS to High Accuracy then logon to PoGo as usual. *You will be prompted to accept Google's ToS for Location Services to able to use High Accuracy mode. If you select 'Disagree', Location mode will revert to 'Phone Only' until such time you accept the terms.

When people say "the Google apps" or "the GApps", they don't just mean the individual apps like YouTube, etc, but more importantly, the proprietary Google framework (the most visible part of which being known as the Google Play Services to users of the store, or as Google Mobile Services to manufacturers) that those applications, as well as a very large number of third-party applications on Play, and the Play Store itself, use for much of their functionality.

This framework is only licensed by Google to manufacturers of certified devices.

Right now, ZTE is one of Google's certified partners, but presumably, this cannot continue under this ruling.

No :D I'm talking about the Play Services app beta version

here you can sign up for beta then update it

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Hmm, judging from that it seems like your phone isn't going into doze often enough. Even when I use my phone heavily it has way more deep sleep than 300mhz. Your pic reminds me of my beta experience.

It's hard to say whether or not restoring your backup is part of the issue, since there are so many users that say a reset didn't even help... But I honestly think testing anything would be worth the trouble to get that fixed. I'd even go as far as installing the Google play services beta just for the heck of it, as it was another offered solution in the past.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Download this and run. The first three numbers after the bracket will be your version number to find

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

will say update if it still needs to be updated, otherwise it should be good already

Try making sure every Android phone/tablet in the house has this updated. I would even recommend being a beta tester to get the latest version. I have been for a while, but I updated my girlfriends phone yesterday and I did not have the issue last night. This might be a fluke, but it is worth trying.

Google the link for Play Services on the Play Store or here it is if you're lazy, scroll all the way down to the bottom and you'll see the standard Beta signup dialog.

Link to Beta Opt-In: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.gms

Link to update to beta once you are opted-in: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Link to Beta Opt-In: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.gms

Link to update to beta once you are opted-in: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

That's the play store link for GPS, head to the bottom and there'll be a link to join the beta.

I'm guessing you're referring to the Google Play Services app, which isn't the same thing as the Google Play Store app (or even the Play Games app!).

The Play Services, among other things, act as a sort of Android update for devices that don't actually have the latest Android updates installed. For this reason, exactly what it does varies depending on the device you install it onto - it doesn't need to fill in as much functionality on a "current" device.

For whatever reason, on my older phone, the only way to get it to update was to manually use that store link - it never showed up in my regular list of apps that had updates available. So first off, load that up on your Tab and see if it offers an update.

Failing that, you can also try going into your device settings and using the application manager to remove all updates for the Play Services (purely for the sake of testing - you can re-install them all afterwards, and will probably want to). In my experience, MSA runs fine with old versions - even if it likes to throw up a message saying it'll be unable to start without updates immediately before it starts up fine anyways.

Did you try clearing data of "Google play store" and "Google play services"?

To do that,

Go to Settings > Installed apps > Find Google play store in the list & click on it > Manage storage > Clear Data.

Follow same procedure for Google Play services.

After doing this, It should solve "Google play services stopped working" problem. If it doesn't,

Remove all Google accounts from your devices & add them again. (Make sure you know the password of those accounts!!) Adding those accounts again should solve the problem. You can also try deactivate & reactivate Google play services.

WhatsApp data backup:

After Google play service error problem is solved, Backup your WhatsApp data again.

Someone beat me to the punch, but just in case you missed it, here it is.

As a background, Google Play Services is updated every ~6 weeks. Google then does their typical 2-3 week rollout period. The last update was November 30th. That puts us on track for January 11th (or within a week thereof), and then 2-3 weeks worst case if you have bad luck.

Basically, this should all be working again for the vast majority of users in time for the February security update.

First, go here on your web browser - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

Force install it to your watch. Weather won't work at all unless you have a recent version. Sometimes a watch fails to update Play Services on its own for a few days after a reset.

Next, hold the crown and open Google Assistant, then swipe it away. This forces a location update on the watch. Check to see if Weather is working for you.

If that doesn't work, and no other options offered here help you, consider resetting and re-pairing it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Can you "uninstall" from there?

Are you on VZW? You are the second person who's said their options are grayed out. Mine aren't on O DP3 or the June 7.1.2 patch (Google edition Pixel).

may need to uninstall updates from google play as well. Does it just say "google play has stopped"? Try disabling google play services, and re-enabling it.

If so, try logging into google play on your computer.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_GB

Go there ^, and login to the Gmail account linked to your phone. Might be able to push it to your phone that way.

For those who want in on the beta

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Google Play Services was updated 5 days ago: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

If yours is updated, try to clean the data and cache.

> This is pretty fundamentally just how Android works

No, it's not, or else AOSP would come with an open source implementation of GCM..

The issue isn't that Signal uses GCM for transmitting data. The issue is that it requires Google Play Services to be installed on your device. You should read about how many permissions GPS "requires", and you'll understand that if it's installed properly (as a system app), your device is as good as compromised, and using Signal is a moot point since google, if they wanted, could easily and silently keylog you (among other things)

It's insane why people in /r/privacy are still recommending Signal with its shitty "requirement" of having Google Play Services.

Try sending the google play services update from the web store.

Oh wow found it and some of these reviews are great.

Need to find good app store

Can't Change Yahoo Email?

PERMIT PERMIT PERMI$$ONS!!!

Google Violates User Rights

This app is just a way big brother can track and control us

theft imposed

Android was way better before, now google took over

SUCK ON THAT GOOGLE

Go here first. If there isn't an update available, download an apk from here. They just updated it to 9.8.77 today. If you're on a 6P, you'll want the 440 package.

I haven't been able to figure out what's causing this. It doesn't seem to be a widespread issue so i can only assume it's some conflict with specific roms, an Xposed module, or some maybe even some other apps (one with an accessibility service?).

Could people who are experiencing the issue answer these:

Phone Version?
Android Version?
Custom Rom? Version?
Running Xposed modules?
Running some kind of custom theme?

The last update updated Google play services. Make sure yours is up-to-date by checking for an update on the play store. The current version on my devices is 9.6.83. I don't think this is the cause but you never know.

If you running the pro version can you try downloading the free version and see if it happens there too?

Cheers

Dave

Do you have Google Play Services installed and updated? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en What version of android are you running? I'd like to have your phone to investigate :(

very strange, I'll try to look into it on samsung developer test lab. In the while, check if your google play services are up-to-date https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

Try updating Google Play Services to the latest version (9.something) and make sure you don't have background data restricted for it. I was having the same problem and this solved it.

Let me know if that works.

Use the browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

Try this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

hope this would help

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

Try opening this on your phone

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=de

If you're getting 3 days this probably won't help.

1) Go to Settings / Apps. 2) Swipe down until you find Google Play services. Tap on it. Tap on "Uninstall updates". 3) Go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms and update Google Play services. 4) Reboot.

Are your Google Play services up-to-date?

It eventually started working when I updated my android wear app, and updated anything else that needed to be done.

Also check to see if you need this to be updated: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

Other than that, it took a day or two to iron itself out and finally start working, or however long it takes for the watch to sync.

If the top app in battery usage is Google Play Services, then it's likely Android Pay, which recently replaced Google Wallet. The last update caused my battery to drain in 8 hours vs 48ish. You'll need to disable Android Pay as a device administrator, disable the app, uninstall the updates to Google Play Services, and then allow the app store to update it. The updates can't be uninstalled from the app manager, you'll need the link provided to open the Play Store and uninstall from there.

I'm not sure. This is all handled by the play store. You could check if Google play services is up to date.

If the Google Play Services option to uninstall updates is grayed out that sounds to me as though it needs to be re-updated. The Google Apps all rely on that and won't function properly until it's up to date. I'm surprised you aren't being prompted to update it! There's usually a triangle symbol in the notification bar that lets you do so when necessary.

Try going to the link below on your phone. It should ask if you want to open it in the Play Store and from there you can update. I suppose you could try pushing it via a computer's browser as well but I would think it might not work if you're having issues.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Edit: You could also try clearing the cache in that same area. SOmetimes that helps with a stuck app. Unsure if it'll help here but can't hurt to try.

My team mate solved this by installing Google Play Services and re-adding the google account.

Nice, it works for you via bluestacks, join the other people.

However others aren't so fortunate when it doesn't work, so by (re)installing the needed services like so https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en errors like /u/the_importer or OP had should be resolved afterwards.

The reason why one might do so is due to the nature on how bluestacks works. It's irrelevant to say it works for you since that doesn't help other people who have this issue.

Alright. Well I didn't have bluestacks installed initially. After I loaded bluestacks up for the first time. I hit the search button in the top left corner. Typed "Fallout Shelter" into it and hit the 'search Play for Fallout shelter" button. I installed it, it made me login using my google account. I had to enter my password on 2 different google screens. Fallout shelter then required me to update google play services before I could launch fallout shelter. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

Okay... Umm... Download Google play services from here if you still have the play store.

I don't think you can monitor it, you can try opening this link in Google play and seeing if there's an update, or you could try going to settings>apps>Google play services and uninstalling updates

Here's a link to the Google Play services app on the Play Store. Click here.

You need to re apply the play services update. Uninstall google play services and reinstall from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

Interesting... hard to say anything further at this point without being able to see the logs on the phone. The only thing I can say is that the Google API is refusing the connect to the Chromecast for some reason -- even though I have manually spoon-fed it with the name and address of the device.

The most obvious thing at the moment would be to check whether either one of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app is requiring an update.

Can you uninstall it then install it from play store? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_GB

I forgot about that part. Use the link here on your phone to open it in the Play Store and update from there.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Look for 'Google Play Services' in Application Settings and UNINSTALL UPDATES.. Then manually update it from here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

You may update Google Play Services from this link in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

I...I give up. I'm not going to bother talking about this anymore. Maybe for something that has..." no such services", you can start with this non-existing Android "Services" app here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Android works at all.

Other than that, I'm just going to wish you a Happy Holidays and let someone else bother with this. I'm out. Google will deal with T-Mobile down the line.

Judging by all the one-star reviews of Google Play Services you might just wonder

Try clearing the cache of Google play services...

Second try to set back the play services and update them again.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

i think you shouln't worry about that.

You can generate apk file directly from Play store. just copy app/game url (Google Play Service: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en) to search box here and submit. This site will generate Google Play apk for you (apk).

You must accept softwares installed from external sources (Settings -> Apps -> Unknown sources selected area) to install apk, but this won't do any harm to your Kindle.

>the possibilities for new features are huge without a single .apk update.

GPS 7.0 was released in march and as of today they're on 7.3 that's a lot of updating for something you keep saying doesn't need to be updated to add new features.

From where I'm sitting as a Dev google can update their backend with new features as much as they want, but as a user you're not going to see that on the phone unless you A) visit a website to serve you the content, or B)I update my apk to be able to use that new content.
