Since the revised google apps for lollipop started arriving just over a month ago I've been having problems on my Nexus 7 (wifi only), especially with play newsstand and youtube over WIFI but also with lollipop itself. Newsstand will occasionally show headlines but will fail if I follow a link (problems connecting to network please retry). Youtube won't show anything further than the startup screens. Older versions of both newsstand and youtube work fine, but occasionally FC as does the latest google calendar. And when I tried installing lollipop I just could not get it to log into my google account (various errors, cannot connect to network, network is busy...). I've tried several OS variants including stock 4.4 and carried out several factory resets. My phone uses the same google account and works fine over WIFI (so I know my account is not corrupted), but I did notice that some apps didn't work properly until I'd used them for a bit over mobile data instead of wifi.
Does anyone else have similar problems? Ive seen lots of discussion about WIFI problems with lollipop, but not so much with the apps.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

up until 2 weeks ago my Desire was working perfectly. In the mean time I have travelled from the UK to Greece where I disabled the data roaming (I mention this as this is the only thing that has changed in the settings). On returning to the UK I now cannot download any new apps, or update any existing ones from the Android Market.
All that happens is I get a graphic which shows the commencement of the download, no progress bar movement and not actual download, irrespective of how long I leave the download going.
I have tried on wi-fi and over 3G, no luck.
When I switch the phone on I get an error message stating that it cannot verify the google talk account - which may be connected to the problem, however I cannot find any setting or app in the phone which has anything to do with the google talk app. The HTC desire online guide tells me how to access the 'talk' app, but following the very simple instructions does not reveal the app on the phone.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem or who has a solution?

I've had same problem and not solved it yet!
Hey all,
I finally made the jump to the One M8 from my iPhone a few weeks ago, and I quickly unlocked, S-OFF'd, rooted, and flashed MaximusHD. I had to switch back to my iPhone for a couple of weeks for work reasons, and yesterday decided to switch back to the One. When I booted it up, I saw that an OTA was available for MaximusHD 7.1, so I installed it and realized that I was missing LTE and stuck on HSPA. A quick phone call to AT&T resolved my issue when I realized that it was simply a provisioning problem (since the 4S I had been using is LTE-less). Now for the strange part - after being on WiFi all day at home, I come to work and try to fire up the Google search app (while connected to LTE), no dice. The app throws a "Can't reach Google at the moment." So I fire up Chrome, and try google.com - after a painstaking few seconds, I get "Timed out". I navigated to a different site (CNN), just to test connectivity and voila! - the page loads immediately. I retried google.com, and the site still times out. Also, the Play Store has no connectivity over LTE, also throwing "Connection timed out." All other apps (Instagram, Speedtest, even GMaps/G-mail) work while on LTE. If I force the phone to drop to HSPA (by choosing GSM/WCDMA only in Mobile Network settings), then magically all the forementioned apps and google.com work properly. It seems that all the Google services are "blocked" while connected to LTE. So far I've tried:
- Airplane mode on/off
- Rebooting
- Clearing defaults and wiping all the application caches (as well as the Play frameworks)
- Factory resetting/Wipe Cache
- Flashing a different ROM (VenomOne) and starting fresh
- Confirmed that APN settings are correct (other sites other than google.com work fine)
- Deauthorized my phone in my Google account settings
- Created a new Google account
None of these worked. I also tethered my MacBook to the phone, and was able to access google.com via Safari perfectly fine while the phone was sharing it's LTE connection. I installed Firefox on the phone, and strangely google.com works fine as well. It seems as though any Google services that rely on my login fail to work on LTE, but work perfectly fine over HSPA. Google searches work, the GSearch app works fine, and the Play store loads immediately. Switch back to LTE, all other apps and sites load properly, Google services fail again (now including Sync).
Sorry for the lengthy post guys, but I'm out of ideas. I'm going to (unfortunately) flash the phone back to stock and see if that works, and if it doesn't, I'll drop by the AT&T store tomorrow and see if a new device makes a difference. It doesn't quite add up, unless its a weird provisioning problem. Hopefully you guys can help or might have an idea? Thanks!
Hey man, I'm jumping on board with you on this issue. I've been battling this same exact issue for the last month or so. I've literally tried everything in the book and can't seem to figure it out. Not hijacking your thread, but I was going to create a thread here as well since I'm out of ideas. Here's my experience, hopefully we can knock something out here to fix this plague of a problem.
I've flashed multiple different versions of firmware, multiple different ROMs, cleared every kind of cache you could imagine, etc. Often I can get the issue to disappear for a short while, but it always returns.
I did restore the phone to stock using the factory RUU. That actually did work for a short period of time, but then I started receiving a message that said "Restricted Access Changed - Data Service is Blocked".
That message led me to this site: Nexus 5 Restricted Access Changed Issue - Solved
After being 100% stock, I uninstalled updates for Google Play Services. That worked for 3 days. After 3 days, I connected to wifi for the first time, after I turned wifi off - no connection to the Play Store again.
That was last night. Flashed newest firmware (2.22.401.5) and Insert Coin 4.0.9 this morning... still no good. Google Search and the Play Store time out with "No Connection" messages.
The one thing I believe differs from me to you, is that HSPA+ (GSM/WCDMA) does not work either. I believe you said that worked for you?
Certain little things seem to randomly make it work for a short period of time. Once I flashed cache/dalvik and did a fastboot erase cache - magically worked after that. Though, that only lasted for a day or two.
Think I'm going to jump on Support Chat with AT&T to see if they can provide any help, though I doubt it. I'll update here as I go along so hopefully we can get this figured out. Sorry for the lengthy response.
Same issue, also from CT
Just responding to the OP, I am having the EXACT same issue as you with my Google Services not always connecting while I am on LTE. I wonder if it's a geographic thing as I am in Southeast CT Groton to be exactly although I have also had the same issues in Niantic at work. I also have AT&T service but my device is a HTC One M8 Developer edition. I sometimes can connect to Google services over LTE but it seems to be hit or miss. Services that I have been having trouble with include gouge search accessed through chrome, google now/voice search, Play store and Wallet. I have not had any issues streaming music over Google Play music, even when my other services were not functional over LTE for some reason. I have tried all the suggested trouble shooting steps such as uninstalling Google updates, clearing google play services cache and app data, verifying my date and time setting, etc. I even unlocked and rooted just to delete the hosts.txt file as was suggested in the system/etc folder. So far nothing I have done has completely fixed my LTE issue, it was the exact same behavior on kk 4.4.3 and after I applied the kk 4.4.4 OTA update. I have not tried S-off or installing any custom ROMs. As I type this my Google services ARE working over LTE but I'm not expecting that to remain constant based on past experiences.

Did you contacted your carrier about this LTE and Google services issues? Cause I can use all Google services on LTE. Its kinda a bummer that you cant use something that you are paying for tho.

This guy has the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/lte-connection-issues-3-28-401-7-t2913168
He thought it was caused by flashing firmware. But based on your experience, it might just be a carrier issue.
Is anyone else having issues getting a GPS lock on the fire phone? I recently was gifted one after the fire sale and I have been having issues ever since. When it actually works, the GPS has significant drift, and it often has trouble catching up with me when I am walking around. It also takes forever to acquire a GPS lock, if it can at all. I have waited 10 minutes, inside an open park with no trees within 50 meters of me for a lock with no luck. I can't even get a lock inside my own home after trying to acquire a GPS lock for well over a half hour. Sometimes it acquires a lock after 5 minutes, most of the time it doesn't--draining my battery significantly in the process
This has been happening with Ingress, Google Maps, Chrome, the Silk Browser, the built in Maps app, and Waze, so I doubt it is an issue with a specific app not being compatible with the FireOS. I am running stock, unrooted FireOS 4.6.4 with Google services framework, Google play store, Google play services, as well as the Google account manager installed (I need it for Maps, hangouts, and ingress). I am also wondering if the Google Play services apps are somehow interfering with GPS services, but I am very reluctant to uninstall them as I would have to reinstall the delicate setup of old Google apps that allow vital apps like Hangouts, Google Account manager, and Ingress to function in at least a usable state. However, it is with noting that I have tried to see if uninstalling Google Maps would help to no effect.
Does anyone experience issues like this? Is this a common issue? If not, does anyone have any advice on how to resolve the issue? Because if not, I am probably just going to buy a new phone.
GPS works fine on mine with stock 4.6.3 (rooted), try a GPS tester (GPS Test is one) and see if it gets an accurate lock.
GPS disconnects for like 30 second every 2 minutes on mine. 4.6.3 rooted. No Google services. It was previously on AT&T 4.6.4.
Happens on the stock Maps app, Waze, and SatStat.
EDIT:
I tried flashing 4.6.5 and leaving it unrooted. Re-enabled almost all the Amazon apps and its still giving me issues. Maps just says "Searching for GPS..." all the time while trying to navigate to an address. I think this might be hardware issue. Trying to troubleshoot with Mayday.
UPDATE:
In case anyone lands here looking for answers...
After a couple weeks of dealing with Amazon's tech support, they decided to give me a new phone. The new phone's GPS works as expected! It's an AT&T model on 4.6.5 not rooted.
I got strange GPS behaviour with my new OnePlus 3.
Symptoms:
1. Google Apps (like Maps or Fit) won't use GPS to determine the position. This is checked by GPS Status & Toolbox. If I start GPS Status & Toolbox by itself it directly hits up GPS. Same with non Google apps like HERE or EXIF Location Tags in photoapps.
2. When I start navigation on Google Maps it starts using GPS. When I stop it, GPS usage stops too.
3. When I force Google Play Services to stop everything works flawless. Maps and Fit start using GPS as it should be. After restarting the phone, Google Play Services is back up and same issues occur as stated above.
Tried with newest CB, 3.2.4 and Resurrection Remix (BJRR). My Google Play Services is 9.8.77 but I already tried older versions without success. I googled this problem, found something similar in google product forums (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/maps/l-YG1DB8jyQ) without solution.
Somebody know this problem or has any suggestions?
I know I have had a similar issue with my phone (Stock updated OOS rooted w/TWRP and Xposed) rebooting all the time during navigation, random loss of GPS-based location and being forced to reboot to bring it back, etc. I've had no issue with the rest of Google Apps, though.
Hi all.
I have an H815, bought (unlocked) two years ago in Switzerland when I worked at the UN, now back with me in Toronto.
(Carrier in Switzerland was "Yallo", in Canada it's "Public Mobile")
For the past few months, I have a "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped" that occurs under a very specific circumstance and (as far as I can tell) nowhere else.
It happens when I am in Google Hangouts and try to send my location. Consistently and repeatedly.
Yet I have downloaded a GPS testing app; it appears to work fine, as do my map apps (Google Maps, Waze and Nokia Here).
I've tried everything: cleared cache and default apps, uninstalled and reinstalled apps and Services, and finally a hard wipe/reset. Still happens.
Any suggestions? Right now my only route left is to wait for the Nougat update and hope for the best.
(That is, assuming I get it; my phone has never been attached to a carrier, so I'd need to get my OTA directly from LG)
try flashing a new rom of same android version again?
