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')

I'm having problem with my T989 using maybe with the latest Google Plus update from November 1.
I have tested many roms, and in everyone it keeps doing the same. I have use AoCP, Hellybean, PsiRom, PRO-Bam, IOKP.
I flash the roms using TWRP 2.6.1.0, I rm the preload, and I format everything else, the only thing I don't format is the micro sd. Next I reboot the twrp and I install su binary. Next I wipe again the already mentioned partitions, and I install the rom and gapps(if they are requiered).
Google plus is not updated to the latest version in the latest gapps package, neither google play services, neither play store. It happens when that three apps are updated.
I enter my google account, update google plus and I sign in, by some time both play services and play store are updated. Next to that I use the phone normal, move from here to here, reboot it, search apps, etc, and in a random time the phone reboot, it keeps rebooting, and before 30 seconds of the next complete boot, it keeps doing the same time over and over again. I wipe the cache and dalvik to see if something is wrong, and it still doing the same thing.
I don't know exactly if the problem is with Google Plus, Google play services, or with the latest Play Store version 4.4.21. But it gets annoying, I have use before google plus with 4.3, and now happen this. Is like google is making something in that latest version to make they don't work in our phones, or is a bug. I don't have any more phone, I can't test if it is my device, or that official latest versions.
Searching for this problem I test other things. I always use supersu(free and paid) as root manager, so I download it, install it, next I download system app remover and sd maid(free and paid). I remove google plus and other apps that I don’t use. I reboot. Next I configure sd maid in the corpsfinder options and I remove the things that remains of google plus and use the other cleaners and I reboot again. By this time the play store and play services was updated.
I proceed downloading google plus, it install, I enter my account, and before 3 minutes, it happen the same problem all over again.
Finally I found a way to use our phones without this happening. I do all the things that I already mention, I clean my phone with sd maid, reboot, but this time I have don't install google plus, now my phone works perfect in AoCP.
Any user that happen something like this?, there is a way to fix it?, my phone is almost dying? or we just need wait for an update of google?
Thanks! (btw sorry for my bad english).
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.
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.
I have a problem with Google Play store app - every time I click on icon it starts and quit instantly with message "Google Play has been closed" (no other info what was wrong). It's newest version available.
I've tried many things:
- reinstalling the app (turning off to uninstall any updates) and reapplying update.
- clearing cache of app
- clearing cache for Google Play services for Instant Apps and Google Play Services
- clearing Data of store app.
Only two (first and last) gave temporary results for the first start - after that I can use app normally, but just after quitting problem is always back until I don't clean Data in Settings/Apps/Memory. I don't want to do factory reset, but it's kinda annoying. Something is loading/changing in app data after the initial start, that results in problem with starting again. Thanks for help in advance...
Uninstall Play store updates, clear data of Google play services for instant apps and perform a wipe cache after that.
Open the app and try if it works.

Can you precise "and perform a wipe cache" - did you mean wiping cache in the 'Google Play' store app or 'Google play Services for instant apps' app or device cache in recovery mode?

First uninstall playstore updates then clear cache of the app "Playservices instant apps" and then perform wipe cache via recovery.
Didnt helped - first start, with "old" version is ok, after closing the app and reopening its quit again ?
Could be problem with Google play app. Couple of days ago, I've noticed that sometimes is not showing updates for installed apps. Force stopping usually helps.

Not for me - force stopping didn't changed anything - still quitting all the time.

Baronik, please check if you are using latest google play service, 8.1.29 at least. I had the same issue last week. I made even factory reset without lack. Then I found this suggestion on Lenovo forum for Moto Z and verified that I used outdated version 8.0.X. When I tried update it I received notification I use latest version. I was singed to google play service beta program so I unsubscribe it, and done factory reset one more time. After restart 8.1.31 version has been installed. You can try to uninstall updates for google play store first.

I'm not sure about app you're talking about - I got 3 apps "connected" with store:
- Google Play store - version 8.0.73
- Google Play Services - version 11.3.02
- Google Play services for Instant Apps - version 1.19
I've been uninstalling store few times with a hope, that phone will update to newest version. Looks like 8.0.73 is newest my phone can install automatically. Any trustful source for 8.1.29 version to manually install? I really don't want to do factory reset...
Problem SOLVED - I've just installed 8.1.29 version of Google Play store app from APK-mirror and everything is ok for now. I can start app, close it and start again with no problems. Thanks for suggestion about version - I was more than sure, that phone will always install newest store app, but that wasn't true.
I am using k30i chinese rom handset. Recently i have updated android 10 to android 11. After updating i cant use google play, play service, youtube, gmail etc(all of the google service).

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
