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.

Have you fix this problem? I can't access my gmail and receiving the same error message after the android version is updated to kitkat 4.4.2
same error fixed in my case
android - 4.2.2 gmail version - 5.0.1 , google play services version - 6.7.76 phone -huawei y 511 u 10
I had the same errror . I've fixed it by 1)reinstaling it from root explorer 2)synced account
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 working on Android 4.3
Suddenly problem has erupted with Google Play Services.
Most of the apps are asking for Google Play Services, like Maps, Gmail, Google Plus etc
and on updating it says that "The user id shared with other apps is incompatible with Google Play Services"
It is not clear which Apps are not compatible. I do not use any special Apps, but commonly used Apps like Facebook, WhatsApp etc.,
Any help is most appreciated.
Hangouts and play store don't work + constant 'Google Play services have stopped".
Hello,
I am running CM12.1-20150604-NIGHTLY-m7 and I edited my build.prop and I messed up in it and it was stuck in a boot loop. So I reinstalled CM12.1 from TWRP and none of my GAPPS worked so I downloaded the lastest version and flashed it. After that still none of my apps worked so I went into Apps>All and disabled Google Services Framework. This allowed me to use every google app except for Hangouts which just crashed whenever I launch it, the Play Store which just says 'Check your connection and try again' and it always says 'Google Play Services has stopped'. I am able to use the Play store when I re-enable the Google Services Framework but every other google app says it has stopped working. I have cleared the cache several times and it never worked.
I hope I have provided enough info for you amazing people to help me fix my problem, thanks!
I rebooted my Nexus 9 and now all google apps are error on google play services. I try to open google play and it flashes and disappears. I tried to disable, re-enable google play, cleared app cache etc. Nothing has worked anyone have a work around? Is there a new APK somewhere to send side load?
Hello,
is it possible that Google Play Services crash the Phone Setting application.
After I flash open_gapps-arm64-6.0 -pico-20170521 to my Android phone (Android 6.0.1), I was not able to running Phone Settings. I managed to run Google Store. But Google Play Services stop working and resume working.
I touch Setting, it crashes with error message saying "Unfortunately Settings stop working."
Because Setting is not working, I am not able to clean cache of Google Play Services as most of what the trouble shooting suggests.
Did anyone experience the same thing as I did? Is there a fix?
thanks
