Google play services needed?? - Asus ZenWatch 2

My phone is a LG G3 T-Mobile, running on 5.0.1 LP OTA updates.
After setting up my zenwatch2 with my phone, the watch pop up the
"Get google play services Android Wear won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone“
On my phone I am running Android Wear ver. 1.3.0.2369832
Google play services ver. 8.3.00
I have done multiple factory reset on the watch but still pop up after synchronising with my phone.
What could be the issue? Watch seems to work fine. Text and notifications shows up fine.

Try to restart the google play services on phone

I've disable it on the phone then it said it will revert to old version. But it didn't. No option under google play for uninstall update. Its greyed out. Once I disable on the phone, well I tried, I reboot and then factory reset zenwatch. Then repeat the entire pairing process all over again. Still nothing. So, I don't know.

When i started the first time, and after I FDR'd I got the message. It went away quickly though.

I've had this message on my SWR50, too, when BT connection to the phone (Edge+) got lost. Android Wear app on phone showed a "connecting" message, while the watch was complaining about missing services. I've rebooted both phone and watch, now it's fine. Hope this does not happen again with the ZW2, which will arrive in 14 days.

I tried everything. It still pop up once in awhile. I am running Blisspop ROM for my lg g3 T-Mobile. Everything is up to date. So, I don't know. Both watch and phone running on lp 5.1.1 ... So, j can't see the conflict there. Both play services updated to current version.

I've had it show up briefly once or twice, but it quickly goes away. Seems like just a minor bug.

You need Google search to fix the problem.. Make sure Google search is not disable. Clear the cache on Google search in app settings. Then don't open Google search. Because that will be a battery drain.

Thanks.
I've updated all the gapps. So far it hasn't pop up on the watch, yet!
Been working fine lately.
It would been nice if the connection range is further. Seem pretty short distance, then it will get disconnected.

It would make this watch 10x better if the issues get hammered out.
Look forward to your work.

This is happening on Moto 360 (1st gen) too. Been using the watch fine on my Moto X '13, then today factory reset it paired it with my new phone (moto x pure) and it works fine for a bit, then this notification comes on my watch screen and the watch disconnects. All play services and such are up to date

Every time I factory reset it and re pair it with android wear it will appear once or twice then disappears

It is normal across all Android wear devices. Android Wear requires that Google Search is installed and enabled (not disabled, lol). I have a tendency to disable this feature when I am going through disabling apps on a fresh boot. Just make sure Google Now is able to launch. You don't have to accept to use Google Now, but you should be able to swipe up on home to launch search.

The real reason for that to pop up. Is when the device gets disconnected from the phone. And you are right about Google search.

Google play services has stopped.

Yesterday my phone starting giving me a google play services has stopped pop up. Seems to happen when I change from WiFi to cell network or vice versa.

Mine started that yesterday too, but only when i restart the phone. A symbol also popped up on the notification bar that looked like a sim card with a question mark in it. Had to do a battery pull to make that go away.
im on sprint, and mine did the same thing yesterday evening. i get 2-3 pop ups immediately after reboot and then another 2-3 within 2 minutes of the reboot.
Yup me too. Says location services has stopped a few times then Google play services has stopped a few times. Happened randomly yesterday and the syncing icon was stuck in the status bar. The error messages pop up a few times after reboot as well but then don't see them again. Just a minute ago had the phone start locking up real bad and was lagging like crazy. Rebooted and it started up and after about 20 seconds it rebooted again on it's own. Back to normal for now *knock on wood* but that's the first "problem" I've had with this phone. Think Google pushed an update that our G3's do not like.
I was thinking the same thing.... Google play services must have had an update pushed out and it's not playing nice for us. I didn't read anything about a play update though.

I've had the SIM with question mark since day 1. Think it's because not on Verizon. My Google play store stopped working until I restored. This happened about a week ago though.

Add me to the list. Both Google Play Services and Google Location Services are going screwy ever since about 10am PST.
It's starting to become unusable. I'm ready to go back to my Loki'd S4 and give this thing a factory reset. It's popped up 3 times just typing this message..... 4 now

I had location consent module for x posed and Google play store fixes module. I deleted both and so far no more pop ups.

Same here. Deleted the location consent module from xposed and all was good.
*If I have helped you please hit the thanks ?*
Apparently there was an update to Google Play Services from what I've been reading on Nexus forums and it hasn't played nice with certain apps...
- Tapatalked from the G3 -
That worked for me. I deleted that location concent module and haven't had a notification since.
Ever since the play services update on the 23rd, and including with all of the more recent updates, I continuously get play services has stopped errors and can not use google location services at all. These issues continue even after several factory wipes. After each wipe, the issue returns as soon as play services is updated and if for any reason the phone restarts, it gets stuck in a bootloop. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any tips that might help?

Have you used the LG Flash Tool to reflash the .TOT? If not I would try that. If there was some kind of system change you made the factory reset would only do so much. Such as when my build.prop got borked before it was known the build.prop for the G3 was too big to open on (most) mobile text editors a factory reset didn't help me and had to use the flash tool. Factory reset is the equivalent of wiping data and cache so if the error messages persist, and especially if your bootlooping, try the flash tool and .TOT.
I have actually been trying to use the flash tool to do just that, but can not seem to get the phone to go into download mode. Is it possible that only the cable that came with the phone will work for that? I have been trying using one that came with my old d2vzw.

I've actually had similar problems since Play Services updated, yesterday no matter what I tried to do I couldn't get the Play Store to connect. . and I tried all sorts of things trust me.
Only thing that fixed it for me was doing a factory reset, which obviously Sux but that's what did it. Hopefully you get it going!

Ok, so I think I've figured this out.
I'm on a T-Mobile note 3 running darthstalker 7,
I started getting this pop up about a week or 2 ago. Initially it would only happen upon enabling or disabling GPS.
Once I started trouble shooting it started happening much more frequently, and began to include a pop-up about location services.
I used titanium to roll back to a previous version of google play services and it seemed to stop. Then it auto updated and here come the pop ups.
I took a previous poster's advice and disabled the location confirmation module in xposed.
Then I restored an older version of google play services from titanium back up.
I let it auto update, upon update I got a notification [with the triangle exclamation point icon] about the service needing my permission.
Once I clicked the notification, yet another pop-up, but this one was different. It was Google play services asking for permission to allow apps access to my location. The interesting bit is that there was a check box for "do not ask me this again" which I checked.
Since I did this, no more force closes on Google play services or location.
Hoping someone else can confirm this works for them.
Hope this helps, hit thanks of it does.

Pokemon Go? No GPS Found

Hi all. Running 5.3.1 unrooted. Installed the xda-labs app to run pokemon go and wifi tether off of my phone with wifi location on. "GPS not found" is at the top of the screen. So here's where it gets interesting. I have 3 fire hd6s for my girls. I installed G-apps (services, store, vending, and one other one) and ran Pokemon Go again. It worked! On one of the Fires... the other two not so much. For some reason the one that worked would bring up a google prompt to turn on location services with a different screen than you would not find within fire os. There must be two location services. One for Google and one for Amazon. Anyone know of a way (without root) to force google location services instead of amazon? Anyone else in this weird Pokeboat? Thx! SL0
UPDATE: Went to get the new 0.31 version from xda labs, but it wasn't posted. When I opened up 0.293, it asked to update the app and sent me to the play store to do the update. Previously the play store said the app was incompatible, so that was a nice change to know I had a legit version. I started up the app and still got No GPS found. I also noticed that google log in was not available from the log in screen... will try Play Games... maybe the log in will force the new location service...

Nope... well yes, on two now... the ones I wasn't busy installing and uninstalling. It could be because I loaded the google play stuff though APK instead of an ADB push. Regardless, the two that work are problematic because the location is based off of the tower where your phone is using the hotspot from. If that happens to have a pokestop there you're in luck. Walking around connected to a mobile hotspot doesn't really seem to be all that great. The juice really isn't worth the squeeze. If anybody figures out a better way to use a mobile hotspot let us know

And I figured out how to get it to work, at least on my Amazon Fire Phone!
I too was getting the dreaded GPS Not Found error in Pokemon Go. I even downloaded a GPS app from the Amazon App Store just to make sure that my GPS was indeed working, and maybe even to force Pokemon Go to see the GPS. Yes, the GPS was working, but it didn't force Pokemon Go to start seeing the GPS. I even did a factory reset on my Fire Phone and reinstalled G-Apps because of the other issues with the Google Play Store which came along with this error for those of us on the Amazon Fire Phone. I redownloaded Pokemon Go, and....... I still had the darned GPS Not Found error!
So I restarted my Fire Phone, hoping that might help, reran Pokemon Go, and I suddenly got the pop-up asking me to verify location services, even though I had just enabled them when resetting the phone! Now, when I first got the error after the full reset and reinstall of G-Apps and Pokemon Go, I had checked my location services and they were set to the highest and most precise level. When I got the pop-up and allowed location services, it set the location services on my Fire Phone to the lowest possible resolution, GPS Only. Guess what? Pokemon Go now works!
My best guess is that the latest Google Play Store update which broke the Play Store for those of us using Fire Phones, broke something in the highest accuracy settings of our Amazon Fire devices, and by switching to the lowest level of accuracy, GPS Only, Pokemon Go was able to find our onboard GPS (In your case the tethered GPS) and run correctly. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the two Kindle Fire's you own which ARE working are now set at the lowest GPS accuracy setting, and the one which isn't is still set at the highest level of accuracy.
Anyways, I hope this helps!
Enable Google Location Services

It will prompt you to enable Google Location Services. Hit "Yes".

MATE 10 Pro issues with google play store

Got my mate 10 pro with vodafone on Friday. Love the phone. Amazing camera and got a great deal.
Problem is the play store! It stops opening and the only way to fix this is to clear the data on the google play store & google play services.
Is this a known problem? Do I need to wait for an update or should i factory restart. Once it works again after the data is cleared after a very short while it stops opening again. Pressing on the icon simply does nothing.

Hi, this seems to be an individual issue as my Mate 10 Pro works in the Play Store with no problems. Factory reset may be helpful.

try close all wifi and cell data .. then force close the google play store then clear cash and data then disable so it will ask you to reset to old version press yes .
then also do it with google play services .
after that remove your google account email for google , then open the store and re put your google email and i think it will work fine
ended up doing a full reset which was not really fun but hey it worked..

Either you allow the phone to control this automatically, or you can do it manually: the latter possibility is the one I turned on as I wanted to have the control over the apps. Apparently, this was a bad choice as it stopped the apps from getting the information from the internet?
After I switched it back to completely automatic, all apps were working normally again. This is something that Huawei should address as I don't believe this should happen .
This fixed the issue for me.

Yeah. I set Gmail to manual and it stopped receiving emails. Which is weird as it should do the exact same things if you enable all in manual. Switching to manual fixed it.
And another issue is Last pass, it gets killed after a while if Launch is set to auto. I set it to manual and its been kept alive for the whole day.

Force Android Wear Background Colour? Wear 2.8

Hi all,
I sideloaded the Wear 2.8 update on my Asus Zenwatch 3 (which is OLED) and was pretty annoyed that I have no black background!
No idea if it really saves battery but I prefer the black look.
I'd like to modify the apk to have a proper black background but I don't know if it's possible.
Anyone able to help me?
Thanks..
What version of 2.8 is it? I feel like there was maybe one before the black background. I'm on 2.8.0.18. The only things I could suggest would be to manually check for updates in the google play store on your watch and try rebooting if it looks like you are on the latest one. (I had one user say my wear apps background changed after rebooting)
Can you explain how to get 2.8 on my Wear24? lol
Once 2.8 shows up in Play store for your account it will be available for update on your phone and then eventually sync slowly over Bluetooth to the watch to be available for your watch.
It took over a week for the update to be available on my account.

lol i wish I could tell you....my play store stays open for about 5 seconds and then crashes. Can't download anything to my watch or even stay in it long enough to answer your question. I have factory reset multiple times and tried a variety of option toggling. It's quite frustrating

Are you sure it is not just going into ambient mode? When the watch goes to ambient mode in the play store, it will go back to the watch face. You could try continually tapping the screen to see if it eventually loads.

Overheating and LAG in redmi note 2

Hi. has given me a familiar one redmi note 2 which gets too hot on the upper back, and works very slow opening apps and in any action. I installed a global rom fastboot and it works just as slow. I've passed Antutu and it gives me 54,000 points, which makes me doubt if it's a software or hardware problem. What do you think about it?
I have the same problem from Yesterday with redmi note 2 prime
I flash so many roms and the slowliness happend only after gapps install o trying to run google apps.
Today i have the same problem. Its propably bug from google play because i cant open it.
It's google play services bug, find way to reset data of it and get it back to old version, install latest google play store from apk, add your google account back(should be all gone after resting services data) and after google services updates it should be fine. That's more or less how i did it.
Edit: For friend that's also using this old guy it fixed itself after letting phone stay and sync for about 20 minutes.

It happened by itself. Patience is needed and external cooler is an option to reduce the heat.

Thanks for answering. I have the last global rom. It does not let me uninstall play store. How can I uninstall it? And what version should I install and where do I download it from?
Same problem here. After factory reset there is no problem but after I update Google Play Services problems are back. Endless sync, not working Google Play store (stays blank and not showing any apps), Chrome not loading pages, huge battery drain on google play services. Nothing helps for me. Did you guys managed to get normal working phone?
This problem seems to affect only mobile phones with mediatek processor and not just xiaomi, also to other brands.
I have left the phone whole night syncing. Did not help at all...
Keeps forever in notifications: Current syncing item: Google Play services.

Go to Installed apps find Google Play Store and Uninstall updates, then let it sync. It should work that way.
Someone actually found a solution to this issue:
1. Go to Phone Settings
2. Next Accounts
3. Choose Google
4. Then click Manage your Google Account
5. There will be a white screen - here at this step we just wait until the screen comes to life (about 5-10 minutes)
6. Enjoy!

WOW.....It totally worked for me. Thank you very much.
How?
I think I am just being dumb, but I cannot find this in the settings. I am on MIUI 9. Where did you find this?
Yes this works, big thanks!!! But on the new update of Google play services from yesterday I got the same bug. So we will need to do this every time when there is update for Google play services
