I think they are system app and auto updated when u connect to wifi. So dont need to worry.

i dont think so, infoprovided installed again and cleanmaster says its virus
also malwarebytes finds system upgrade app as a malware

Before you noticed the apps installed, had you installed any other apps from google play or from apk files?
I've had apps in past that showed ads and when i tried to click out of them they auto installed other apps in background.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried uninstalling them? and if yes did they come back?
And I maybe wrong on this but I think google play checks the apps on it's store for virus's, so see if the apps you mentioned are on the play store, if they are not, then it being downloaded from another source.
If thats the case, you really need to backtrack to when you first noticed them and what you had installed up to 3 or more days before you noticed them.

its not from playstore, its from a diffrent source, i uninstalled infoprovided before and return after a few days
and i found the culprit, its the FWupgradeprovider, it can install or update app without the users consent, but my device is not rooted so i cant remove it. maybe there is another way to remove it?

[Q] Play Store stopped working

All of a sudden Google Play Store stopped working. When I try to start it up, I get a screen "Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account." and a [Retry] button. When I press the button, I get the same screen again.
I've checked that there's no firewall, my Google Account is working (checked from the PC), I've cleaned the Play Store data, all to no avail. I tried removing the account but that is not allowed, I need to do a factory reset for that -- something that I'm not particularly looking forward to.
Any idea what is going wrong and how I can recover?

clear data for google services framework, and force close it and reboot, or idk, downgrade the play store, also its odd that u cant remove ur acc, it should let you remove it if u go in settings accounts and as far as i can remember long press your account, hope i helped

When I try this, it asks for confirmation, I press 'Remove account' and then comes a dialog similar to "this account is required by some applications, you can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (...)".

im not sure if u can, but if u installed the market using the froyo gapps installer in a thread from here you should be able to go to settings->applications->manage apps and find play store and click on it and downgrade, a button where uninstall would normally be, also u could tell me ur device and android version and where u installed gpps from, thatd really help me at helping you out

My button reads [Uninstall updates]. After doing so, I get the old Market application again. However, when I start it, I get "Error: Authentication required. Please log into your Google account."
I tried uninstall Market and restore (from TitanumBackup) - no difference.

Actually, I have the feeling that Market (and Play) try to start some authentication service, that fails or is missing.

hmm............try using the program u used to install market again, but first try after uninstalling updates to clear cache and data for google services framework and market, and also try to force stop them, otherwise try to reuse the app u used to install market
I removed the google apps and reinstalled them (several times, several ways). Finally success after reinstall using ArcTools. Now I can start Google Play. I asks me to create an account and it seems to work again.
Thanks for the assistance!
Again, I lost Google Play. Same symptoms: it says I need to sign in or create an account first, but doesn't give me the opportunity to do so.
I removed everything Google related. Re-installed Market (using ArcTools) but Market just doesn't get installed. Similar when trying to install Play using ArcTools: all tools get installed but there's no Play.
When restoring Market or Play from backup I have the same problems decribed in the beginning of the message.
Really puzzling - and frustrating.

[Q] Mistakenly Uninstalled Google service Framework

While installiing "google play services" I got some error 919 "Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID", for which i googled for solutions which said to uninstall Google service framework(GSF) then, install play services and then again install GSF.
when i tried to uninstall the GSF via "titanium backup" i was unable to do so. Hence i thought of converting it to an user app ,then take a backup of apk file and then uninstall it. While doing so, it was taking very much time, so i rebooted my phone, after which i did not found GSF in my apps list.
Now i'm not able to have an access to play store.
Please help ASAP
My GSF version was 4.0.1- 212031
What phone? What update? Custom rom? It's best to pull the app from something for your phone just to make sure there are no other issues.

Please see the attached file
Its not a custom ROM,but a rooted phone
sorry for noob question but, what do u mean by what update?
If, android version, then it is 4.0.4 and I have no idea why it shows 4.1.1
Now is there any way to access Play Store..or is there any alternative to GSF..??

Google play services constantly being removed

Got an iDeaUSA CT740K tablet with missing Google play services. I wasnt even able to sing into any google account because of the missing google play services. However, I found an APK version of the services for the tab and installed it. It fixed the problem, well, for a while. Whenever i install the apk it fixes the problem and i am able to download stuff from google play, however, google play services remove from itself after about 10-20min and i cant download anything from google play again. I tried to move the apk into root/system/apps but it didnt help (the device is rooted). I wanted to flash gapps but i dont have a custom recovery (cant do it with the stock one, as it seems) to do it so, because there isnt any available yet. Also, there isnt a stock firmware available so cant re-flash it over the current one. I tried factory reset and erased internal memory but didnt help. I even removed rood (unrooted the device), same.
There are 3 games from fox which appear on the tab even after being uninstalled. I assume that the tablet cough some viruses and they are the reason for this happening.
If someone has a solution, feel free to share it
Thanks!

Honor 7 play - how to install google play

I have honor 7 play dua-al00. I want to install google play. After doing all the procedure google play fails
I have the same problems. Up till now I still cannot find a resolution. Can anyone here please advise? I downloaded and installed the latest suitable Google Service and Google Play Store. I ran the Google Play APP and it just crashed and closed. Urgent. Thank you.
Did u find a solution i have same peoblem
i have the same problem but i think its worth adding that i'm on android 8.1
and the issue isnt that google play doesnt install its thats once installed it wont download (and therefore not install) other apps.
i think the issue is that the system doesnt come up with the authorisation box to let playstore install apps (so doesnt recognise it as a store?).
if you install amazon store and try installing something from there, it asks if you want to let amazon store install apps, you click yes and it works. for some reason it doesnt do that with playstore. you either get stuck on app downloading but doesnt download or playstore shuts down.
play services, are updated manually from apkmirror otherwise you constantly get that gmail wont run without updating services first for example. update it manually and it works for a while.
sorry, probably also worth adding i'm on (and assume we all are who have this issue) on the chinese rom (messed up at purchase!) and an alternate fix would be if we could install a non chinese rom or a custom but doesnt look like these are available?
we still need a solution to this....

An Android device must NOT be rooted to install Google Play Store on it. Use Google Installer v3 to install Google Play Store. The Google Installer v3 comes as an APK which you can directly download and install on your device. Fortunately, this app doesn’t void warranty as it isn’t performing root or modifying the system files. Once the Google apps have been installed, you can uninstall this app.

So when the Google Services Framework keeps stopping then you know there is something wrong with one of the Google Apps you have installed on your phone. Either Google Services Framework, Google Play Services or Google PlayStore. Picking out the particular app responsible might be tasking so it might be best to just clear the data and cache of ALL three apps and also remove or log out of your Google Account and log back in and finally re-boot device.

Tried any times already and still can't figure out which apps is having problem. Is it due to the software version having PRC?
