The google play services is of around 91mb and is to much for my
ROOTED samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830i.
I have deleted this app hundreds of time but it keeps reappearing.
I have done this as suggested in some of the threads in this forum
1 I had disabled the auto update from google play store.
2 there is no PreloadInstaller.apk in my /system/app folder to delete as suggested by someone in this forum
also the google play store only works after i delete the google play services, from the settings > Applications > Manage applications.
also the apps work faster the phone book loads faster and i can type faster on the keypad. Only for sometime, untill this app gets reinstall again.

4 years back when i bought this handset i deleated some apps and also this app the "google play services" app ( which was then just some 10 or 15 mb) and it never appear back ( the phone was not rooted then) and this handset performed smoothly until now. then i wanted to delete the old default gmail account and add a new one. so i factory reset it from pressing volume up + home + start button and selecting reset. and this "google play services" app came back and not REMANING uninstalled. I even Rooted the phone to delete it from /system/app but there is nothing like googleplayservices.apk

Hey everyone,
I hope this is in the right section. But just recently i noticed my phone acting weird. Seems when i open google play store and do a search, Most recently i did "Weather Widgets"
It will return with like 6000 app results. Normally when you click the apps bar it takes you to the app results, When you scroll down and you reach the end of the list it will auto load the next group of apps.
Well now when that happens it no longer loads anymore results and it stays stuck on the first 10~15.BUT this is the weird part.. IT ONLY DOES IT FOR APPS and GAMES.
Music and Books the list loads as usual.
So far i have wiped the cache / data and just tried uninstalling the recent update and took it back to version 3.7.15 but google play auto updates itself back to 3.8
This really sucks. Anyone know how to stop google play from auto updating? soon as i wipe it back to 3.7 it auto updates back to 3.8
Nevermind - Resolved.
I guess somewhere along the line when gapps updates to 3.8... it no longer likes the device ID. I checked it and its DROIX but 3/4 of the apps on the market dont show.
So i downloaded Device spoofer and setup gapps as a Nex S. works like a charm
Recently, meaning in the past two days, when I open the Play Store this is what appears:
(first attachment, or which ever is named razrmaxx)
When I go to My Apps, and look under the Installed tab, only four apps show up, all preloaded Verizon apps. When I go to all associated with my account, it shows that they are installed. I can only install a new app if it's a popular app and the Play Store comes up with the completed search where it has the app icon. All other Google services work, gmail, youtube, Chrome tab, bookmark shares. I've reset my phone to factory defaults, I've completely closed the Play Store, deleted data, deleted cache, forced stop, and reopened. The other day I was trying to install an app (AirDroid), and it said it wasn't available in my country, I live in the United States. I'm completely baffled because on my Note 10.1, this is the screen that appears when I open the play store:
(second attachment, the one named note)
(just in case this is related to that), and it also will not show any of the "installed" apps, but will say that it's installed under the "all" tab. I've completely erased all data, force stopped Play Store on my Note too, and it still shows up like that, and it also can't search. The fact that there's only one app on my phone that shows up makes me think it's a virus, I've scanned my phone completely with Avast, I don't download anything except from the play store (although I know even there it can be a virus). Recent apps I've installed to my phone are: AirDroid, AndSMB, App Cache Cleaner (although this is after it started), and Avast. I originally thought the Samsung Apps app on my Note was causing the issue on my tablet, and Samsung Apps works, but even after I disabled it, the issue persisted. I even tried the Amazon App store, and that works. The only app that I have in common with my phone and tablet is Avast. Any help is much appreciated, and thank you in advanced. I might go to a Verizon store in the next few days and ask them about it, maybe get a new phone and stay away from my current gmail accounts and only use apps I trust, (amazon, newegg, doubletwist). Anyone know how to fix this and ways to stop it from happening in the future?
Hi, today arrived my Moto E. I turned it on, and then I went to playstore so I can update all my apps. I went to subsection My apps and Installed. It were loading for several minutes, but nothing appeared. I decided to delete data and cache from the playstore and reboot phone to see if the problem was solved, but it remained the same way. Then I search in the google play store for motorola and I was able to update each app one by one. My question is why doesn't the apps appear as installed apps on the playstore, and how can I solve this problem.
Thanks.
Sometimes apps don't appear when the google play services or google play store is updating. The update can range between 35-0 MB. This might be the case ass your device is just out-of-the-box.
It can also happen because your account isn't properly synced. To verify, go to Settings>Google>Sync now (from the 3 dot menu on the right side)
Hope this solves the issue for you
So after an update some things started failing pretty badly. The first thing I noticed was all my desktop icons had disappeared, then the Google Play Store wouldn't donwload apps, whenever I clicked to download something, it would just shut the app down. Then today I could finally update my apps, opened YouTube and a sign came up saying that I needed to update Google Play Services to launch the app. When I clicked to update Google Play Services, the app store would just shut down again. Also if I try to open Settings, it opens for half a second and then closes. Any help will be much appreciated!
Yep... I also noticed some issues
after watching some Rio streams
-Window manager.. not starting app fullscreen ( settings/remix option/window looked good)
-links to stream started to fail..
-IP 10.* /mac all zeros
-after leaving stream app all the open apps where scrabled looking
Rebooted a few times... remixos crashed a few times
Then.. I decided to emty ''Cache'' under Settings/storage (it showed 380mb )
Now everthing seems fine again
---I have been thinking.. perhaps make a ramdisk for ''cache'' as I have lots of Ram free
--But It might cause problems with OTA updates... if Update uses Cache??
Another..
If you use advancedsettings.xml (setting cache bigger) inside kodi.. it can crash RemixOs
`System updater` doesnt work if you installed on ext4 (using INSTALL=1)(aka no ota updates)
Googleplay doesnt work on the 32bit version
Anyway.. just try emtying cache.. fabzombie

i also hav the same problem with google play store, everytime i tried to install app from play store it closed automaticlly. please anyone help
the same goes for me
It has many flaws
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.
