Hi all.
A few weeks ago my HTC One X+ running Viper Rom (latest) started giving me errors from Google play services which stopped all my Google apps running, Gmail, play store etc.
I wiped the phone and reinstalled the Rom and kernals a few times but nothing worked.
I found a simple fix though but it's not completely permanent.
1. Download this Google play services version:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-3-29-1866531-030-android-apk-download/
The last 3 digits (030) are defined by the device it's installing to. The play store automatically installs 036 ( 0= android version < 5, 3 is the processor, 6 is 320 DPI), which is causing me problems. The last digit 0 is for universal.
2. In settings> apps find Google play services, clear cache, clear data then uninstall, in that order.
3. Go to your download location in your file browser and select the 030 app and install.
This should fix any Google play services errors. However, it automatically updates from the store every now and again.
How can I stop the auto update of Google play services? Auto updates are off in my play store.
Hope this helps someone and hopefully someone can help me

I had to fight this on 2 tablets now. The play store gives connection problems. I've tracked the issue down to the newer versions of Google Play Services.
Google Play services v 8.7.03 worked fine, such that Play Store never had issues. Then one tablet updated to Google Play services v 9.0.83 end of May, and another one just updated a week ago to Google Play services v 9.2.56. This screwed up the Play Store, which started to display the connection error. What's interesting is that if I manually re-install 8.7.03, the Play Store is still unstable, requiring me to sign in here and there.
Today I've installed a patched version of Play Store, the one that should not update itself (google for "patched google play store", select the link that also has the smiley app). Then I re-installed the 8.7.03 version of Play services. Regardless, within minutes, the Play Services got updated back to 9.2.56 (apparently, the patched Play Store does not prevent updates to Google Play Services). Yet for some reason this latest permutation seems to work, and I am finally able to get apps from the Play Store again.
There is no way to block the Google Play Services updates as we could do on FireOS 4.5.x ... The old trick with the directories named as apk does not work ...
Anyway, what the situation out there ? I am not seeing many reports, but the issues must be happening ! Please, chime in!
I'm using a Chinese Huawei Honor 6 H60-L02 with Android 4.4.2 (rooted) that originally didn't have any Google Apps on it. I have successfully installed Google Play Services and Google Play Store. When Google Play Store is installed, everything works perfectly, including other Google Apps with my Google Account, except install. Every time I try to install an app the phone turns off and restarts (no matter if it's from Google Play Store, a separate APK, or Aptoide). I have tried uninstalling Google Play Store, then everything installs just fine. As soon as I install it again, the same problem returns. I have tried deleting cache and data, but to no avail. I can't find anything on the internet, any ideas!?
The ROM itself may be behind some of the issues as Play is not allowed in China.
Dears, the problem that broachs this query to forum is related to a kind of virus called google play services. But let's start the tale from the very beginning: It popped I in about a year ago or so on my faithful full stock Alcatel Android 4.2.2 (running finest & fastest with around 270 apps and heavy duty since near 3 years) It began with lags and a pop window saying: ''this app won't work until you update google play services'' also in the attempt to open several apps non related to creepy google. Innocently I joined the message and did so. Once updated, the phone gone almost blocked and overheated, leaving room enough as to go settings (reaching there after several minutes) and press uninstall updates button and the problem vanished.This happened thrice in a year because of my doubts about, finally never again I updated the crappy play services and it never ever SELF UPDATE as follows.....:
Now....To make my Alcatel company I bought a brand new 4.4.2, slotted a copy of my SD and installed my APKs. All right for a short while until the same problem appeared again. Again I uninstalled the play services update and fixed BUT...Now the play services along with the play store self update constantly, even self turning the Wi-Fi on. First I tried all the simple tricks (disabling auto sync, disabling google now, etc and etc) but they both leaped every barrier.Then I disabled play services but even apps non google crashed completely......
Finally I rooted and run 3C toolbox. In app management > services I unchecked the two autoupdate boxes of play store BUT....the boxes self re check and there smily came the play store update.... I set the linux firewall for both playstore and play services but all seems to be useless.
This morning through 3C toolbox I flushed away to the gutter most of google crap user apps, then guessing by the sequence of their auto updating (always first play store) I disabled play store suspecting it enables the play services auto update and no news of self updates until now, but the keyboard still lags, a film online still winks and a couple of apps and the settings page opened by itself.
The question is: the 4.4.2 play services version is 6.1.83. Is it possible to replace it by installing an APK of the version 4.0.34 that my 4.2.2 runs ? If so, how is to perform a safe replacing ? Compatibility ?I dare to guess first step disabling play services, second installing the APK and check behaviour..... If not I'll acknowledge any suggestion or alternative. I'm just a half advanced and curious user
I wish the disabling of the play store keeps the situation stable and the only matter here is replacing goggle play store with something similar
Thanks in advance.
I've been moving my updates into the system for years now but have yet to be able to move play services in Android 5.1 without issues ( vanishes ) so I started using Open Gapps to handle this problem but this morning I noticed a new app installed play servives for instant apps and the play services app was only 130mb. So I moved the new app to the system play servicrs FIA and play store update and thought I'd try to move play services again ( using link2sd ) which hasn't worked yet after rebooting no errors like past attempts but play store wouldn't open it just did nothing, checking into things with link2sd everything appeared to move properly except play services which had vanished again. Now this is were things got weird, I already had Open Gapps downloaded from 5/28 ( full ) so I thought I'd just flash that and fix it instead of using recovery, it didn't work, play services was still missing on the phone and play store still wouldn't open.
Anyone have a clue as to why flashing open gapps didn't fix it? Never seen that before.
Also if anyone with the ooen gapps project is listening it sure would help to have a package with just play services since so far that's the only update I can't seem to move to the system without issue.
I'd really like to be able to move play services to the system easier.
I recently got a black shark 3 pro CN version from Giztop (2 days ago). Device is great and I absolutely love it. However I noticed an issue whilst using Google maps or any app that requires maps access. In Google maps, my location never gets pinpointed as nothing happens when I ask the app to access my location. Similarly, an app requiring Google maps service to work functions. I get an error saying 'google play services updating'.
Another issue I've noticed is if I use the Google play games app to launch a game, nothing happens. Which led me to the conclusion that my Google play services are not installed properly. And yes I've given permissions to all Google apps.
I've tried deleting my gapps and re-installing them using Google installer but that still hasn't fixed the issue. Please help me solve this issue, thank you.

Edit: I have solved the problem, using the steps in this link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/dkdwie/guide_how_to_fix_gps_and_notification_issues_for/
Now Google maps and Google pay + Google play games have started responding normally!
This is not the solution.
The solution is enable all permissions and autostart in all google services and also permit no restrictions in miui battery optimization.
And the last and most important stage, Enter Locations by clicking long press on the button in the status bar, enter app permissions, choose "google play services" and click "always allow".
Thats it, you don't need to touch the supl server.
There is only one problem I found out. The Google services framework service "No restrictions" always return to "Miui battery saver" after restart and need to set it again. That make the compass on google maps to not work properly if you leave it in battery saver mode.
Hope it will help.
I'm having the same issue (Google services are updating) and did everything all Google apps & services have full permissions and still not solved.
