Hey guys, just wanna ask, what is Google Play Service, it just installed itself after rebooting my phone. What does it do? I checked it on the Play Store but all the reviews' talking about a game, I can't even open it and it's not on my drawer. Can someone please explain? Thanks
Google developers said:
Google Play services is a platform delivered by the Google Play Store that offers integration with Google products, such as Google+, in Android apps. The Google Play services platform consists of a services component that runs on the device and a thin client library that you package with your app.

So basically, it's a component to let apps access your google+ easily.

Well, I have no idea why they are talking like as if it's a game with levels or something... But the description of the app clearly states:
Google Play services - Google services for Android apps
Google Play services lets Android apps from the Google Play Store integrate with Google+ and Google Accounts. To work correctly, some apps may require Google Play services to be present and up to date.
Google Play services is usually updated automatically on Android devices. You can also install or update it manually from the Google Play Store.

So, idk why they're all spouting nonsense about that.
I guess Google Play Service is responsible for making fast updates to installed apps. Now you don't need to download the whole app again in order to update. It just takes only the updated part and not whole app. This is especially helpful when updating big games. Anyways its just my assumption, though I'm not sure about it.

After the recent update to google search, it has become incompatible with our galaxy mini. Youtube has the same problem. But there is a separate thread for youtube here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846009 . If some one has the last working version, please post here. I recently switched back to stock rom from cm10 (great rom anyway!) by TheWhisp and now as I had to wipe data and cache, I am having a very old version. If someone has the last working version please post it here. Any help will be appreciated and thanked.

Yeah I agree with you. But maybe they will resume support if we do a mass protest .

What is 1mobile market?
they are supported no need to protest
Google play include many criteria in determining app compatibility and sometimes one or two thing don't meet the requirement and server thinks that mobile is compatible but in actual they works
1mobile market is another app store for android like amazon.com which only contains free apps, it do not check for compatible so no problem in downloading

Thanks......:good:
I have my ouya rooted. I downloaded an app called usb otg helper which works nice mounting all my harddrive in different formats. But the free version wont auto mount only the paid version. I tried using the paid version but I get an error message saying it cant connect to server. Hope theres some trick to get this to work. I just sideloaded the app through es file manager.
If it's an app that was paid for on the play store, the developer can build in drm to authenticate with Google that it's been paid for by the currently logged in Google account. Currently it's not possible to install Google services on the Ouya, you're out of luck till that happens.... Sadly a pirated version of the paid app may have that drm stripped.

Not that I would discuss on an upstanding forum such as this one.

I actually thought about not asking this but there's a thread on trying to hack google play store on this so I figured it would be ok.

They're not really "hacking" the play store if you actually read the thread. They are trying to get the play store to work on the ouya so you could use paid apps like the one you asked about here

I ran it from the play store with no issues. One thing I have is from my wifes Xiaomi phone, there is an app called Google Installer, it allows you to install all the google related framworks as apps. You could try that. Apk is attached. Don't know i it will work. Its designed to install Google services on phones that do not have it preinstalled. Give it a whirl and let me know if it works.

I noticed that too on mine, seems to be standard... unless you overclocked the Gear as I did......
Why is it that a 3rd app store tells me that there's updates available for certain apps on my phone, yet when I check the Google play store the apps in question are up to date!??
Confused! ?

Aptoide is let by stores, that said, that means that aptoide is basically based in people, who edit apps and modify them, so it maybe not licened or signed to be used in the gpl.
Which is the best site to download Google play service
APK Mirror is run by the organization called "Android Police", this does not prevent malware such as advertising and tracking on your phone, but is the most trusted site to have the exact APK the same as is or was in Google Play Store, unaltered by anyone except for the original author(s) who wrote the program.
