Unknown issue with Google Play services - Gmail 5.0 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have this weird issue with the new Gmail 5.0 (updated directly from Play Store) and it keeps brining this message up and FC: Unknown issue with Google Play services. All the other Google apps work perfectly fine, it's just the new Gmail and Inbox that don't work.
Deleting the GmsCore.apk and re-installing via Play Store is not an option as it wouldn't let me in the Store then. I am running LegacyXperia CM11 on my Xperia Ray. I should mention that I side-loaded an updated services apk from apkmirror.com, perhaps, someone can upload their Google Play services apk?
Help will be appreciated. :good:

Gee Mail
Just received the update and get the same issue. Now can't use GMail at all.

I have the same issue too.
But I was using the ART, and I can open the gmail app after switched back to dalvik VM.
I will stop using ART in (4.4)m which has many compatibility issue (even with google!) , fallback to dalvik VM and wait until Lollipop.

I'm on stock rom 4.3 so it's not an ART issue.

Do you suffer from space insufficiency?
Are you trying to cure that thing by moving applications that get updated from /data/app to /system/app?
If yes then this might be your problem. Here is what I had.
With latest Google play services update all Google apps (Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Inbox by gmail) were working fine.
Then I needed space so I took the updated Google services apk which took a lot of space in my data partition and moved it to my system partition where its predecessor used to be. I did it completely well using root explorer and checking all tricky parts. I should mention that I study computer engineering and I've been into android more than 5 years so I know my way around.
Immediately after the transfer:
YouTube didn't load anything.
Gmail showed me the same message as you.
Maps force closed.
Inbox by gmail showed me a message of "oops something went wrong please try again later".
It is now my understanding that Google play services has become a very sensitive application that sadly should not be messed with. Especially with a completely redesigned and revamped app such as gmail 5.0 or inbox by gmail. They are just not THAT compatible yet to be able to keep working together after they've been moved around inside partitions.
My suggestion find the latest .zip of "pa gapps" flash it, update the apps that need updating and leave them as they are. They should work like that.

That aint it either

I'm afraid not. This is just an standard install of stock rom no root and certainly not moving files in system areas. All that's happened is I allowed to install the Gmail update then EPIC FAIL.
I have Gmail 5.0 (1569867) and Google Play Services 6.1.88 (1557022-036)

Guys, any update on this? It's getting really annoying to constantly reflash my rom from time to time... Is it possible that Google failed this much?

remove and reinstall the Google play services solved problem.

I've the same issue here but in a very custom rom, thought was my fault

Gee Music
Now after receiving an update of Google Music I now get a permanent notification saying "Unknown issue with Google Play services. Requested by Google Play Music'
So folks what do we do? Uninstall updates? Disable? Will rolling back break the rest of Android?

We have lift off!
Well what do you know? Suddenly my Gmail & Google Play Music now works. Hang on I didn't get any update notifications on these two apps.
Wait a minute, my Google Play Services has been stealthily updated to 6.5.87 (1599771-036)
Thanks Google. Sneaky.

Had the same issue
I had the same issue this two days Gmail wasn't working at all and Hangout was working but for every action i was taking it was giving me the error Unknown issue with Google Play Services and i found out the in my case the problem was Link2SD so what i did was unlinking Google Play Store and Google Play Services than i uninstalled Google Play Services and installed it againn but didn't linked them and error was gone.
The conclusion on my case was linking the app to sd card was causing the error.

Thanks

In may case turns out that I had a version of "google play services" for Android 5.0+ instead of for Android 2.3+.
I did install "google play services" with "System app unistaller" and install the recommended version at gappsandroid.blogspot.com/2015/01/download-google-play-services-apks.html.
Note: In order to uninstall "google play services" "Adndroid devide manager" must be off in System -> Security -> Device administrators. Re-enabled it after install the correct "google play services" version.
Hope that helps

I have the same issue .
what unlinking means?

This is also just happened to me this morning. Suddenly my calendar and GMail stop working and prompting the error "Unknown error in Google Play Services".
I tried to remove and re-add the Google account but no success. Clearing cache and application data also no luck for me.
I tried to Google this case and one of the guy suggesting to do these following steps and it works for me:
1. Untick the Android Device Manager from Setting - Security - Device Administrator
2. Go to Setting - Apps then look for Google Play Services. Click on Uninstall updates.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open HangOut and it will prompt to update Google Play Services.
5. Update the google play services.
6. Done.
Now everything is working again for me.
Maybe you guys can try it. Hopefully it will helps.

Google Play: Anyway of removing Apps from "My Android Apps"?

Hi. I've Just installed a fresh CM9 and synced the phone to my google account. Once it synced it started downloading apps I had previously downloaded which are listed in my Google play account (including a lot of crappy apps listed that I previously messed around with). Is it possible to remove apps from my Google play account? Because I don't want certain apps automatically installed. Cant find an option on the Google play site...
Maybe you can rewrite your post, cause I have no idea what you want.
You installed CM9 and all your apps etc. are gone? And you are missing the market app?
For now I don't think there is any way of doing this.
Looky here...
yeah i was talking gibberish, updated now

Google Play Store stopped working

So I moved from WP7 to Android.
While setting up the phone, I enter the gmail account details and while "Signing-in", a popup appears saying "Google Play Store has stopped working". I clicked OK and completed the setup.
When I try opening the play store from the app drawer, the same message appears and I have also tried signing-in to another gmail account, same message.
I tried this in Viper ROM and CM10.1 for Rezound.
Can some help with this?
Thanks

1. clear data and cahe of google play store.
2. goto /data/system and delete accounts.db
3. if the above of the two not helps then reflash the rom
Hit thanks if i helped u
Did all the above. After flashing another ROM, the Stopped working message is not popping up anymore but the Play store cannot connect. It says "No Connection", although the internet is working fine in the browser, news etc.
I flashed another ROM, but still the same thing.

Try going to the same menu and hitting clear data and clear cache? Might do the trick, thats all I can think of. If you're rooted, you can try freezing it and unfreezing.
Did you deactivate any apps in application manager of the Android system settings, like the apps Download, Google Play Services, etc?

(I got it working with reenabling them again after deleting app data and uninstalling the updates for Google Play and Services, Google Hangout. Then the preinstalled Play Store reappeared and everything got updated again including the Play Store.)
Also I did deinstall a manual Play Store update I could not open after installation. Anyway Play Store was no more visible in application manager but I used some other tool to get to the screen allowing to uninstall, I think this was the tool "Uninstall APK" in "Android Assistant".

[Q] Problems with google services (hangouts, calendar, Chrome, login error nag)

Hi
I just got a new phone (Xperia Z Ultra), but whenever i try to login to my google account, the following happen.
The login works.
Hangouts fail with the following: "Couldnt sign in possible because theres a problem with google account permissions"
Chrome fail with: "Unable to sign in"
Calendar, music widget and information about people doesn't sync.
Google Now fails: "Network error"
Google+ fails: Could not connect to server
Google Play Games just close when opening.
and i keep having a yellow triangle in my notification shade: "Login error for --email--"
I have tried both stock, CM and PA.
I would be really really grateful if someone could come up with a fix!
Thanks
Just remove your Google account and sign in again I hope it helps

i usually have to let google services update after flashing and then re-installing the apps from the store.
Did you get the issue resolved? I'm having the same issues on my toroplus, after updating to official 4.3, have tried reflashing back to 4.2, factory reset... but no joy here.
have also tried removing and re-adding my google account
possible cause and fix
I had a hunch that it was something to do with my account security settings
Go to your Google account on the web, click on Security on the left menu, and look at the "Connected applications and sites" section (click on "review permissions")
I had an epic number of entries in there - so I started revoking access for a lot of duplicates, including about a dozen entries for Android Login Service (the downside of repeatedly rooting & ROMing, i guess).
1 reboot of my phone later, was asked to re-enter my password, and...
problems gone bye-bye! everything is syncing again.
I hope this helps others.
After hours of no sleep Thank you dannydpx
Best thread ever
I've been freaking out about this for days ... thank you for the awesome tip. Removed 9 account instances and I'm back in business!

thanks, this worked great. i wasn't getting hangout convos or gmail. all sorted now. at least i know my fiance isn't ignoring me! :laugh:

			
				
Had a problem with goggle now on my Galaxy tab. Would crash out on starting. So I uninstalled google now, then reinstalled WITHOUT the latest google now update All worked fine! Applied the latest update, again crashing out.
So uninstalled and re-installed again as above, but without the latest update, all working !
had several duplicated entries from my Galaxy S3, and i have removed them all. Also i removed the one from my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013.
Nothing seems to correct the issue with Google Now. Everything else works just fine..
i fixed all accounts by removing them form the permissions in the security area. the only app that does not want to connect at all is Google hangouts. does anyone have any other idea?
Please?! thanks in advance

[Q] Google play services crashing when i sign in to my google account. [lollipop]

For a while now, I've been having a problem with google services where hangouts doesn't work. To try to fix this, i signed out of my google account and tried to sign in again. But after i write my email and password, it closes, and it says that google play services has stopped working. I can now no longer use gmail, youtube, hangouts or any app i signed in with google for that matter. Aside from doing a factory reset, is there any way i can stop google play services from crashing when i sign in?

I had this kind of problem some time ago, i fixed it by uninstalling all play services updates (so only stock playservices remain) and then manually updated to the latest version (should be this one now http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-5-69-1954844-438-android-apk-download/ ). Worked for me at the time.

Configure Google Apps

Install Google Play Store
Update MIUI to latest version
Open the browser (blue planet icon), go to apkmirror.com and install the latest versions of:
Allow installation of unknown sources when asked.
Google Services Framework [9-4832352] (noarch)
Google Account Manager (noarch)
Google Play Services (arm64)
Google Contacts Sync (noarch)
Google Calendar Sync (noarch)
Google Play Store (universal)
Enable Google Contacts / Calendar synchronization
Go to Settings → Manage apps → Google Contacts / Calendar Sync
Enable Autostart and give all possible permissions such as write and read permissions over your contacts / calendar events
Restart your phone
It may take some time to apply.
Configure Google Pay
Download Google Pay
Go to Settings → More and set Default wallet to Use HCE Wallet
Go to Settings → More → Tap & pay and set Payment default to Google Pay
Hope this helps

I tried the Google Installer of the Mi App Store but it did not work.
I encountered this error for most apps: Can't downgrade apps.
That is why I have listed the apps above so you know what to install and you are sure to get the latest versions for each.

Weird because as far as I remember, when typing Google in the App Store, the only result was Google Installer.

Unfortunately I could not see those apps in Mi Store before installing the Google Framework, Services, Sync and Play Store.
But now I can see a lot more apps (Google Translate, AirBnb, ...)
It is weird I have 2 possible results to display.
anyone has else issue setting up card for instore payment with google pay?
miui 10.3.11
Can't complete set up for contactless payment
To resolve this, you'll need to contact your bank. You can still pay with this card on Google and across other apps and sites, just like before.
i have no issue with setting up these cards on another phone though...

I had the problem too and I tried all your steps but none worked. I found a guide on google which actually works. It's here http://en.miui.com/thread-4843639-1-1.html
Basically it says to turn off the MIUI Optimization and get an app from the Play Store called "App Permission Info" to bring back the AOSP style permission UI and set the permission for Contact and ContactSync app from there since MIUI permission doesn't work well on this particular case.
Edit: I just found a way to access AOSP style permission without additional app on MIUI 10. Just search "optimization" in the settings and click on "Battery Optimization". You have to open it from the search list otherwise it won't open the AOSP style app info.
in my quest to install google play i did something wrong.
In notification i get a warning: "Update Google Play services - Google play services wont run unless you update..." but when i press on the notification, google play opens, with Play services and the only option is "Deactivate".
Can anyone point out a solution?
if we already get the google play store, does it mean we don't need to finish downloading the remain apps from google installer? i stuck at google play service. Pls to reply. thanks
