[Q] What do I need running for Google Play? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I attempted to download an application from the google play site via my PC. I had to use google because the application is not on the Amazon store but have I used google play once before and it worked OK.
Having ordered the app and got confirmation I was surprised that the download did not appear on my phone.
I tried running google play store on the phone and it gave an error message that said it cannot connect.
I stopped the play store and google play services applications, cleared the data etc and tried again, even went back to system application by clearing updates but still not working.
Now the play application just starts and immediately stops when I tap it.
I have as much as possible of the toy applications disabled because I use this phone for business and I wonder if at some time over the past weeks I have disabled an application that the google play store application needs?
Other than google play store and google play services are there any other apps that should be running?
I have google play store running 1 process and 1 service and google play services running 2 processes and 2 services.
Amazon appstore works OK
Regards
Please ignore this, turns out I had logged out of googlemail and this stops playstore.
Cannot find a way to delete this post so can only edit

Has it 2 sim slots, FM and TV? :cyclops: :laugh:
Are you still in China? My work has a plan there and I know in parts of China Google does not work due to the government blocks it. I know this because when we have to go over to support the factory we can not use google there.
nahh he got the phone from someone that came from china (i know oscar) but basically he intends to use the phone in Mexico ..
i have that phone on my hands after a brick, i recently restored to factory default firmware due to a bad Update that happened after he rooted and tried to update... (i think it doesnt have any security measures for the updates :/)
so basically
i want to know how similar is to the nexus 6 and if the phone can be loaded with the normal nexus 6 frimware
or if there is away to add a good set of google apps (like on ROMS) @oscarcorreab
I have the exact same issue. I have tried everything including root techniques, installing google apk via third party to make google services work but the google play services not working pop up annoys me constantly. How does one make the moto x pro work ? I have bought this phone now I need to be able to use google play store on it.

google play services crashing without an error message

hello guys
phone samsung s5830
android version 2.3.5
rooted
link2sd installed
a while ago my phone screen stopped working for no reason it was not even because i dropped my phone , touch screen was fine and you could see the screen lights up but nothing on the screen so i had it changed when i got my phone back i noticed that google play store was missing and also went to the apps list but could not find google play services so i just rebooted the phone and everything was back to normal then after some time the phone started to lag every like ten seconds however after a day or two of monitoring the running services i noticed that google play services ( gmscorestatsservice---indexworkerservice---checkinservice ) was constantly trying to restart but the timers would also remain the same and without getting any error message
to solve the problem i tried the following:
removing all the apps - resetting the phone - did not work
removing all the apps - unrooting - resetting the phone - did not work
rooting the device again - resetting the phone - did not work
note: the phone is almost useless because of this issue
so if anyone can give me an advice i would be so much grateful
thanks

Wouldn't it be updated automatically again?
thread: google play services crashing without an error message
thanks for your efforts guys
but google play services are always updated automatically so is there a way i can downgrade and prevent it from updating again and how can i downgrade
to downgrade uninstall google play services and install the attached file (first you have to unzip the content).
to prevent it from updating automatically I guess it depends on how updated the application you use.

Are you positive? There's been an update out for a while now? Google Play Services has never updated automatically for me. I always get a notification saying that Google Play Services needs to be updated. To downgrade go to your phone's installed apps, find Google Play Services, and press Uninstall Updates. Try this website for updates. Read the instructions on this exact page to find the appropriate Google Play Services for your device. They are for every device, yours included. Like I said though, follow the instructions to find your exact update.

Google play store apps download problem (error code : 497)

I am on android MRA58K and my google play store stopped working for most of the applications including google apps when I am on wifi (works on cellular ). I have removed and re-added my google account. Did not work. Then factory reset the device and no use. And now I can not update most of the application. Cleared cache for google services and play store app as well with no success. Some people suggested changing the DNS to google DNS on the router might work. In my case that did not work. Help is appreciated.
Note: I am on unmodified stock.
Go into settings apps, clear data for Google play store, Google play services and Google services framework. Reboot phone. See if that works.

What he said
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Miraculously everything started working normally this morning without me doing anything. GPS can download and update all the apps as it was doing before. None of the suggested remedies did in the forums did not work yesterday and today everything came back to normal. I guess it is something outside my phone caused this problem. Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Google Play Services Problem - Exhausted Every Solution I know Of.

So just today (June 14th), on my Galaxy Note 5 N920I (Android Marshmallow), a lot of my apps started to crash. Here's a list:
TypeApp
Pocket
Google Opinions
Calendar
Google
Google Play Store
Best Buy
Now, the first thing I did was to wipe the cache and data of Google Play Services, then Services Framework. After that didn't work, I did the same for all the Google Apps.
One that didn't work, I tried to wipe the cache partition, which did not solve the problem.
Then I tried uninstalling Google Play Services Updates and reinstalling via an APK. This also did not work.
I then tried removing my Google Account, which was a huge mistake. I now cannot add my Google Account or even log into the Play Store because, each time, I am hit with the error "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has Stopped".
So now I am locked out of any Google Apps and most of the apps on my phone will no longer work as Google Play Services crashes as soon as they try to load.
I now have no other solutions that I know of. Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

hi ,
you don't say if you are on stock Rom , rooted ,used Package Disabler /or something similar /or disabled any apps .??If you using Xposed Framework etc. ?
( this could have a" knock on" effect re Google Play issues etc )
Have you tried flashing " correct latest stock" Rom for your device ?
good luck
Would you like to try factory reset?
Good luck to you.

Fire OS 6..3.x and play store (latest Fire HD 8)

Hi Guys,
Just unpacked my new fire hd8.
Did anyone already successfully install the play store on this Android 7 based device?
Would it work to simply try fetching the usual files from Nugat and install them?
Thanks for your help

Google Services Framework and Google Account Manager 7.1.2
Google Play services 14.3.66 64bit nodpi

After starting Google Play the Fire insisted on installing nee Google Play services. I let it do it's job.
So far it worked. I can install apps.

Quite ok, much faster than the older Fire 7 I had, and gave up on.
It is very usable. Downloaded quite a few apps now, and most perform well.
Only my local newspaper app still causes issue when logging in, but this app isn't working well in real live too..

Yep I have a Fire 7, 5th generation. Disabled some bloat and removed lockscreen ads, it performs /okay/ now, but great to hear that the new Fire 8 performs good! Excited to test it out on Saturday.

Quick update. Realised that I was sloppy on the OS version: After the initial update it's 6.3.0.1. A reasonably clean Android 7.something
So far pretty much everything seems to work as wished. I usually install apps from the fire store if available, and then from play if I don't have the choice.
I have now Chrome, hangouts, hangouts meet, both with two accounts (enterprise and personal). Goole Play Music, Canon Camera Remote (Fuji is on the fire store) etc running.
Also my microsoft account works well, no issues with onedrive etc... For Skype I'm using the Kindle version.
One note: don't forget to enable the lock screen if you want to add a google enterprise account. Otherwise it will simply fail to log on, without a direct useful error message!
So I got my new Tablet yesterday, loaded it up today with the exact versions you list above, it lets me log in, but then kicks me out of the play store and asks me to log in again... Hope this isn't anything to do with 2FA or anything, but I can't figure out how to stay logged in and install apps...
Edit: Yeah, it lets me login, accept the terms, then goes right back to Checking info... Which leads to the login page...
Thought I had it with a factory reset, got a few apps installed, but now won't stay logged in again...
Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services
Has anyone run into this on the newest version of the Fire HD 8? I go to update Google Play services and it says it is 'installing' forever (well... it hasn't stopped yet at least... I've forced stopped it a few times, and tried again, but nothing) I've tried the most up to date guide on here (October 4th 2018) and this still sits here waiting on installing services... which stuff like Google Play Books needs... I mostly want GPB because I store a lot of books on Google, and this is a great little reading device.

Strange Google Play Books won't even install unless Google Play Services gets updated. Thanks though.

Did you check which versions are now on your tablet?
Did you try to do an update of all apps on the Amazon Store first, and then on the Google play store? Make sure you are not "updating" any apps that are originally from the Amazon store, like Alexa (causing issues).
Can you log into your google account from the silk webbrowser?
Everything works pretty well on my tablet. I only had to download the Amazon Alexa app again from the Amazon store, after the play store had "updated" the original version, which caused it to crash.
Same issue continuous login loop

I can login to Google in Silk.
All versions are the following:
Google Services Framework and Google Account Manager 7.1.2
Google Play services 14.3.66 64bit nodpi (040400-213742215)
Google Play store 11.9.14-all 214884739
I have dual factor authentication on my Google account which requires me saying yes to an authorization prompt on my phone.
That seems to work though because after that I am prompted in the Google Play app with terms of service. When I accept them, it goes back to the login prompt, requiring me to enter my credentials again. This loop didn't end even after five attempts.

Just checked the Silk Browser and Amazon updates, same problem remains. Checked multiple times that I've got the right versions for this tablet, same result. Login Loop, can't get into the play store anymore and wants to update Play Services, but can't... About ready to return it and get a real Android tablet instead...

If you need something now return it and look elsewhere. Otherwise look for a workaround in the coming weeks. This doesn't feel like a showstopper issue.

Sorry to hear. Looks like something is behaving differently on your Fire.
You could try a complete reset and do it all over again if you are feeling adventurous.. Though I have heard that doing the same thing all over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity
I do not 2FA on my google account, so that could have triggered it.
btw.: Did you also have the message about updating google play service after google play store the first time? Apparently my google play services framework still seems to have the same version number... Just looking for things that went differently on your setup.
Returning sounds like a good plan if an android tablet is what you really want.
According to this article, Google apps are not supposed to work on the newest Amazon devices. It also mentions something called "Yalp Store" which might be interesting.
https://android.gadgethacks.com/new...-amazon-no-more-android-apps-fire-os-0183744/
Also: I am not sure if the Launcher Hijack apk v.3 is working on the new Fire 8, but I found a new launcher called "Flick Launcher" which allows you to set a custom action for the home button. Set the home button to open Flick Launcher (open itself), and it will go to home screen. It will require the pro version which is $2.50. I don't have a Fire 8 8th gen to test it on, but it does work on my Fire 7 7th gen, and my Moto E Play. It's very slow getting to the home screen on the Fire 7, which has Lollipop, but it's a lot faster on my phone, which has Oreo, so it might be faster on Nougat. I am not sure if this is a definite solution, but it could be.
