Google Play Services - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I rooted my phone because i wanted full control over it.
I know a bit about android and stuff because im an app developer. But I have ruined my phone because i wanted to go back to the old market. I dont like the new google play so i decided to delete everything associated with google play store. And i know google play services updates the store so i also uninstalled it. When i realized that i couldn't have the market, i decided to revert back to google play. But now all the apps are saying "google play services error" or it needs an update. I have downloaded the latest version off the web (i cant get the play store to work :/) But i have tried lots of versions of both google play and google play services. None work! Any tips? I might have deleted the marketupdater.apk or something. Not sure....
Any help appreciated!

Maybe flashing a matching gapps package with cache/dalvik wipe might help. Though not if your on stock. Though if on stock flashing your stock ROM again with just a cache wipe might help.
Only guessing here though. I'd usually just flash my whole system from fresh if I came across a problem like this because I'm OCD about things like that.

Thanks, I couldn't figure Google Play out, was working fine on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 but got error 941 on my Galaxy Skyrocket when trying to upgrade apps. Uninstalled Play update and working good again. Thanks
Uninstalling Play Store update fixed the issue I was having with facebook on my Desire.

What a strange problem. First time it happened to me today. Play Store notified me of updates but I couldn't update the apps due to errors 941 & 921. Trying to view one of the apps returned an error too (forgot the code). I was going to uninstall Play Store as Mawdo suggested, but then I thought of trying to restore a nandroid backup which I had taken yesterday when everything was working fine. I restored the backup, and Play Store updated and downloaded apps with no errors.
Obviously this is a bit convoluted and time consuming than just uninstalling the Play Store update, but I wanted to share that this works too. Something during the course of the day could have borked Play Store on my phone.
Happen to me to last night. It seem google was working on the store because it works fine now.

The Google Play Store is experiencing some issues, they will be resolved shortly. Sit tight.

How do you update back to Play once you update the apps you need? I guess it doesn't matter THAT much, since it's essentially just a name change, but I'm wondering.

problem with widgets
when i try to put snote widget in the screen, its says dont have space in screen lol??????
cleared google play and everything works fine
try this but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too.
Edit......

App request

Like a newb a downloaded the newest version of play services, thought it was the play store. Needless to say my phone's acting up. Tried reverting to the pre-installed version with no luck. I don't want to do a reset just yet. Can someone possibly pull the services apk for me? Or at least tell me what version our phone's run?
Thanks so much!

Google Play services 8.1.02 messed up my phone - can't roll back

Hi everyone,
I updated my Google Play Services to the file discussed here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/08/30/google-play-services-v8-1-begins-rolling-out-to-prepare-for-android-pay-changes-variant-naming-scheme-for-lollipop-devices-and-more-apk-teardown-download/
It completely messed up my phone and google play services keep crashing. I've tried rolling it back to factory (settings>apps) but one of my device administrators keeps preventing me from doing so - Android Device Manager. I keep trying to deactivate as an admin to no avail - I keep tapping "deactivate" and nothing happens.
I'm totally stuck.
Hopefully this is an easy fix...?
UPDATE - I've managed to uninstall Google Play Service's updates (putting it back to factory) but now I'm getting constant pop-ups saying that it's crashed, and now Google Play Services doesn't show up under Settings>Apps.

Because its getting crashed, you'll have to wait a bit for android device manager become inactive..
You can stay with marshmellow google service(hopefully) with thismethod to prevent crash..
Go to app, clear cache/data all google related app (google service,google play,google keyboard, google contact/calendar sync) for contact and calendar its better to backup 1st as its might get wipe..
Lastly..go to account &sync, delete your google account..
Reboot, try login again with play store.
For some reason when I go to Accounts & Sync>Pick my google account>three dots>remove account nothing happens...?
EDIT - All is well now. Just had to give things time to unsync and reset. Thanks @faizalotai!!

After reboot?? is your google play able to download apps?
Be careful manually updating Google Play Services from some .apk website. There are many different specific versions and if you install the wrong one, you are like OP....in a pickle. Best to just wait on the OTA from google to hit your phone.
Thanks for getting me out of my mess everyone.
I've been running rooted android for a long time (since HTC Desire Z/G2) and I've never had a problem installing a Google Play Services APK until today.
I haven't been having much luck with the G4 so far - I bricked my first one messing with the build.prop, now this - makes me nervous to update to a 10F build.

Google app crash

Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I decided to update Google Play Services on my G4 (android 6, stock rom) and since then, all Google apps (gmail, google keep, google play store,...) keep crashing.
I downloaded Google Play Services 8.7.03 on apkmirror and I chose the variant 440 (arm64 + arm, android 6.0+ and nodpi)
I can't deactivate or uninstall Google Play Services and I wish there is another option than restoring the entire phone...
Try a few different versions of Play Services?
Hi, thanks for your answer.
I've called a friend who also has a G4 (android 6) and asked him what is his version of Google Play Services. He has the 8.7.03 (variant: 440), the exact version I manually installed.
I saw on forums that I could try to delete my google accounts (which I did, but Google apps are still crashing and now I have a notification telling me I have to link the phone to a gmail account, but I can because Google Play Services crashes all the time).
I also tried to reboot, clear the app's data, uninstall all updates and reinstall the right version,... but still crashing.
I'll try one last time everything I've already tried and if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to reset to factory settings...
Can you just reflash the system partition and not touch user data? I think that might work.

Reflash? Do I need root for that? My phone is not rooted (but I was just wondering if there is a way to root the G4 under android 6 without touvhing the bootloader)
Update: I reset to factory settings, now I have to get everything back on the phone.
One advice: never manually install Google Play Services, I've read loads of people commenting that they had the same kind of trouble.
Even if you install the right version (the version I manually installed was the exact same than my friends')

Can you please the version of play services? And if possible please tell me the version of play store, play servises framework. Please please please. And did you upgraded to android 11?
Hello friends,
Try flashing MIUI EU ROM. This will help your phone about Google Play stuff better than installing .apk app manually. Google Play stuff work best in system. Flashing .apk will still cause some glitches and errors.
check this youtube video, you can find some links in the description, download those apps to your phone and install them. THE MOST IMPORTANT is to stop Google play services to auto-update itself, and for that you must block Google Play services to access internet. You must go to Settings/Apps/Manage Apps/ then click on Google Play services, then scroll down and you'll see "Restrict data usage", then uncheck "WLAN" and "Mobile data". I also block Google Play store from accessing the internet, sometimes I will allow it to access Internet to update all apps on my phone, then when it's completed, I turn off WLAN and mobile data for the plays store again. This is a temporary solution until someone comes up with a functioning Google installer...Or install a rom such as xiaomi.eu
