the version of Android is 2.3.4
Model is LGL55C
I don't have service with this phone at the moment, but when I did in the past it wouldn't let me install apps from Amazon - the file I was instructed to download to make this work didn't appear to be on there (but when I plugged it into the PC, it was showing up in the folder.)
Its as if the manufacturer or whatever didn't want me to install apps outside of Google Play or something... (yes, I did check the option to allow it to install from places other than Google Play)

Hello guys!
Does anyone have a car with MyLink system and can't use the BringGO GPS System because your smartphone is incompatible with the app?
So here is my history... my girlfriend have a Onyx with MyLink and she bought a LG Optimus G and was sad because the app isn't compatible with her smartphone.
Today I bought and installed it (BringGo Brazil) on my Motorola Atrix and showed her its working on her car.
Then she asked me why my old phone works and her new one not.
I told her that's because the compatibility thing and etc... then she say: make it work on my phone and just laugh.
Then I have the idea: get the .apk file from my Atrix and install on her Optimus G.
I downloaded the App Backup & Restore and backed up the bringgo apk.
Sent it to Optimus G and installed.
Then the first surprise: it told me I can't download the resources because I didn't bought the application (with her gmail account).
That's fine, I would need to buy that app from Google Play, but... HOW? it doesn't appear on Google Play in her Optimus G.
Then I had the second idea: put her gmail account on my Atrix and buy the BringGo Brazil with her account. Note: I just added her account on my Atrix, but I bought the APP from Google Play on computer, because it was already installed on Atrix.
On computer, I bought the app BringGo Brazil and choose my Motorola Atrix to install.
Then I back to her Optimus G and opened the BringGo Brazil again.
Second surprise: it works!!! It was working and I create an account for her and everything was okay... until...
Third surprise: while downloading the map files, when decompressing, it gave me a lot of errors, then I downloaded it again and again... and again... and again... if I remember, it was about 10 times. Every time it downloaded and tried to decompress, the progress bar was increasing, showing that it will work...
Fourth surprise: it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, if you read everything, you don't need another guide, right?
If you don't, here we go:
GUIDE:
1 - Get a smartphone that you can download the BringGo you will use (there is alot of versions, USA & CAN, 2 Europes, AU & NZ, Korea, China, Brazil, etc...)
2 - In this smartphone you will need to add you gmail account that you USE in your main smartphone. (Note: if you plan to remove your account from that smartphone, you should backup the current rom because your account can't be removed until factory reseted.)
3 - Buy, download and install the BringGo you want.
4 - Download and install the app "App Backup & Restore".
5 - Open the App Backup & Restore and backup the BringGo apk.
6 - With a file manager or whatever, copy that backup .apk and send it to your MAIN Smartphone.
7 - Install in your Main smartphone the BringGo app and create an account.
8 - Install the map files and PROFIT. (if you have problem to decompress the map files, redownload the maps again and again, it will works, believe me!)
Hope you guys will like the guide and will be happy again with your MyLink working with GPS now
Not bad for the first thread, uh?
NOTE: who try the trick, please report if it worked for you!

I did this before I saw your guide.
I confirm that it works, I used "device spoofer" on my Samsung Galaxy S4 to be able to download is directly from the play store. It worked fine. however, once installed the app still recognizes the device not to be a "compatible one" and restricts some of the functions such as latest map download etc...
But it is acceptable for now. Until they provide more device support. If ever.
Hi everyone,
I used the following way to connect my Lg Optimus G with my Cruze Mylink System (although the bring go guys informed me that my device isn't supported from technical point of view).
You have to:
- root your device (following tutorials wide available via internet)
- use an apk which changes your device name on the google market - I used Device Spoofer - none other apk worked for me from what I tried (I tried with Market Helper but without success)
- after you choose a compatible device (I chose the Samsung Galaxy S2), you can go to google play from your desktop/laptop, press install on the supported device and after paying the apk it will be downloaded to your phone
I got an update on the phone after the application was downloaded (so, it should auto update without problems).
I also checked after installation the app on the car, and I tried to go on my home city in Romania on a street in which the drive signs were recently changed (2-3 weeks ago) and the update included it as well - so, I think it can help everyone on this issue.
Good luck.
If you need some support on the same or similar hardware as mine, give me an email. I will be glad to help you out

please can any one attached the apk?

Hi,
I don't know what apk you are talking about. You need to use 2 apks.
The one for spoofing the device is free on Play store.
The Bring Go application is 1$ on Play Store. I can't help you with this apk file. I tried downloading it from the Play store but without success.
There are some apk versions on the internet but I haven't managed to download them.
Cheers

What is the first apk you need
I was able to get my Google account sync'd and Gapps installed. Now the issue I'm having is installing some apps on Bluestacks. For instance the 'Call of Duty' app says that it's not compatible with my device. When I go to the Play store from a browser it shows that the 'device' is being listed as a T-Mobile Samsung GT-I9100 which isn't compatible. So do I need to change the device type within Bluestacks to get it to allow these sorts of apps to be installed and if I do this will it make some things unstable? Is there another way that I can install this? I assume I can locate an APK and load it that way but there was an update yesterday and I'm not able to find the most recent version (1.1.300) of that app. The ideal solution would be to install from the store to make updates cleaner.
Thoughts?
Hello all! Please help!!! I have a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7" that I have successfully used each and every day until yesterday. All of a sudden I kept getting the "Google Play Store has stopped" error message. I went back into ES File Explorer and hit the "Google Play services_4.4.52" file and installed hoping that this might help and now when I click on the "Google Play Games" app I get the "Update Google Play Services - This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services" Update message. Also nothing shows up inside the "Google Play Store" app as well.
WHAT DO I DO & HOW DO I DO IT?!?!?!?! I use this Kindle ALL the time and love it, but don't want to mess anything up any further without taking the proper steps from the experts!
Don't know if this is all the information you might need (my Google Play Store Build Version is 5.3.6). If I can provide anything further to troubleshoot, please let me know.
THANK YOU MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!!
I'm leaving town late this afternoon and hope to fix beforehand.
My 8.9 HDX is doing this too. I was wondering what changed.
My kindle fire 7" is doing the same. Was working fine yesterday and then today error after error. Now google play store shows "check your connection and try again" no joy there either. "Google Play services has stopped" repeatedly popping up.
Happening to my hdx too. Hopefully someone finds out what's going on soon.

Google Play services 7.3.x began rolling out last week and will silently update existing installations without notification/permission. Believe the prior version was 7.0.
Best guess is 7.3.x introduces an incompatibility with Fire OS 3.2.6 (likely all 3.x Mojito variants). Hopefully someone can identify a fix. Rolling back to v7.0 or earlier won't help as it will quickly auto update.
Google Play Services and Google Play Store are separate entities. The latter is currently at v5.3.x transitioning to v5.4.x. The two services can and often do update independently (and silently).

That's what I was thinking.
Those affected should downgrade Google Play Services to a previous version and prevent it from auto-updating.
Unfortunately, this prohibits the use of GApps on their latest versions or so, such as YouTube 5.0+
Try this
Go into your file browser that has root permissions I recommend es file manager.
Navigate to device press etc folder
Scroll to file named hosts open it with a text editor like the one in es file manager.
Delete the # sign or if still not working the whole text in it.
Once done reboot it may solve the issue. Worked for me on multiple devices.
This fix is for those who get the no connection error with retry button below it on play store or youtube.. This also applies to the your device may not be provisioned for data services error on sign in to Google account.
How do I know which magic 3 letter extension to get when I go to the repository for older versions? In particular I have the 7" Kindle Fire HDX. Secondly, assuming that I get the correct version, how do I install it? I assume that the standard click on a apk file won't work because its a lower version than what's currently installed?

Hey.
How to find correct version:
1. You need an installed version on your tablet (doesnt matter if its the non working new one or the one you had from beginning).
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> all apps and browse to "google play services"
3. click it
4. below the name of the app (here "google play services") is the version of the installed app. The last 3 letters are the one you need. I have a "german" Kindle Fire HDX 7 (codename Thor) and i have version 036
Beside from that:
I managed to keep my kindle "unupdated" for 3 days now.. dont know if it stays this way. You need root and a root browser like ES File Explorer.
0. have root and install ES File Explorer of amazon store or play store or APK
1. download the 7.0.99 Version of "google play services" (last version that worked here) from any source you think is ok^^
2. uninstall "google play services" (in app menu see above)
3. disconnect from internet
4. install the downloaded 7.0.99 version
5. open ES File Explorer
6. go to /data/app and look for "com.google.android.gms-1.apk" this should be the 7.0.99 you just installed.
7. create a file (in /data/app) and name it "com.google.android.gms-2.apk"
8. Youre done.
Like this youtube, twitch, etc which stopped working with the 4.x version work and as the OS "thinks" that the ...-2.apk is the correct one, it tries to update this (which doesnt work as its an empty file).
All here is at your own risk!!!

With some exceptions v036 should work for most JellyBean and KitKat installations including those on Kindle HDX. I can confirm 036 works with the Nexus rom; don't have my tablet handy to check CM11. I suspect the same can be said for the gaps hacks on Fire OS which is either JB (Mojito) or KK (Sangria) based.
Got an iDeaUSA CT740K tablet with missing Google play services. I wasnt even able to sing into any google account because of the missing google play services. However, I found an APK version of the services for the tab and installed it. It fixed the problem, well, for a while. Whenever i install the apk it fixes the problem and i am able to download stuff from google play, however, google play services remove from itself after about 10-20min and i cant download anything from google play again. I tried to move the apk into root/system/apps but it didnt help (the device is rooted). I wanted to flash gapps but i dont have a custom recovery (cant do it with the stock one, as it seems) to do it so, because there isnt any available yet. Also, there isnt a stock firmware available so cant re-flash it over the current one. I tried factory reset and erased internal memory but didnt help. I even removed rood (unrooted the device), same.
There are 3 games from fox which appear on the tab even after being uninstalled. I assume that the tablet cough some viruses and they are the reason for this happening.
If someone has a solution, feel free to share it
Thanks!
THIS IS A T95 H616 DUAL BAND MODEL.
As is obvious by now, this box is known for Google Play issues. My box did come with regular Google Play Store as opposed to the TV version but it down right refuses to update to the latest version and if I try to install via APK I always get 'App not installed'. Since the device does have ROOT out of the box I took the opportunity to make things a bit more useable in that department by installing Magisk, and I have been able to manually update the Play Store to the latest version and it works just fine but I don't want to have to do it this way every time. The box can live with the Play Store being completely uninstalled using this method and I thought I'd try installing from scratch. Nope. It still gives me 'App not installed'. I've even tried manually creating the folders and moving the APK to /data/app/, setting the relevant permissions and ownership but still this was a no-go as when I restarted the device every change I'd made in there had been cleared. What else can I try?
android 10 doesn't let you modify the system partition period. the only ways to modify it are via magisk modules, flashing the whole rom with your mods included or maybe via TWRP (which we don't have).
I've noticed on this box that it doesn't like having it's system apps removed either, others have said the changes won't stick or you'll get a bootloop. freezing system apps does work however, I was able to freeze the ATV YouTube and install Vanced.
on the play store front I've not had too many problems other than paid apps not showing as paid for about 24 hours after a factory reset. I haven't checked what version it was on or whether it was latest, I'll go and look now.

It has actually been pretty bulletproof for me with regards to that. I am able to mount the system partition as R/W and swap out the Play Store APK with the latest version and set all the permissions and everything and it works just fine. It's just not an ideal way of doing things. What would cause this? All other APKs install and update just fine. The paid app thing happens only because the Play Store is out of date. Every BETA I am subscribed to is also stuck on 'Removing you from the beta'.
from the little I've read the makers of these boxes don't intend to do any maintenance or updates on their boxes, next year they'll bring out android 11 boxes that'll stay as they are more or less.
I haven't messed around with the two update apps don't want to start again from scratch. I'm thinking maybe one of them covers the play store.

Update apps? Play Store is supposed to update its self but it can't. Can't update via APK, can't install from scratch via APK, 'App not installed', 'Update failed' etc. There is a serious issue with the FW here and it doesn't affect a single other of my Android 10 devices. If you mean Aptoide and APKPure, they just download and execute APK files. Same results.
was thinking about the Local Update and Wireless update apps in the app draw, they can't both for firmware.
I think this is safe to call a forked version of Android, it's pretty much locked down to the way the want it, maybe they never intended the store to be updated independently of the whole rom.

Oh I see. Wireless update is essentially System Update. I'm not sure about the other. Perhaps it's like the old Backup & Restore thing the old boxes had that you needed to boot in to TWRP. I've only ever re-flashed it via PhoenixSuit and PhoenixCard.
I recently purchased the Pendoo T95 all winner box. I can download Pluto Tv via play store but it will not open.

try looking on APK mirror if it's a free app. maybe an older version will get you started. always compare file sizes with files from playstore just to be safe.
