Google Apps Cannot Connect To Server - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At around 23:00 last night, after installing a bunch of updates from Google Play onto my (Previously Unrooted) Samsung SM-G360F (Android Lollipop), all of my Google apps stopped connecting. Youtube, Gmail, Play, Maps, all cant connect. 'Cant Connect To The Server', 'No Internet Connection', 'Sync Error'. I tried to do some fixes and then got fed up. These are the steps I have taken to try and fix this problem:
1. Search online (Scarce and unhelpful)
2. Default accounts to factory (No Fix)
3. Remove accounts from device (No Fix)
4. Wipe app cache and data (No Fix)
5. Change Gmail/Google account settings\allow access\2-step verification\ect (No Fix)
6. NFC Sign-In (No Fix)
7. Use data instead of wifi (Connected one account, wont sync anything, NO FIX)
8. Delete "Hosts" File (No Fix)
9. Factory Reset/Wipe local cache (No Fix)
10. System Update (Crashes Device? Battery removal required)
11. Root Phone and use Thrid-Party software (No Fix)
12. System update after unrooting (Download fails at start)
13. Changed DNS settings (No Fix)
14. Changed Home WiFi settings\Updated Drivers\Updated Router\Reset BTHub\Reset BTHome Settings\Changed Ethernet Sockets (No Fix)
15. Modded Google Services with Third-Party Software (No Fix)
16. Install Custom Kernel (Temporary Fix, see 6. )
17. Reinstall Original Kernel (No Fix)
18. Call support (Useless)
19. Install an app on the device from google play via Desktop. (Weird reaction. Tried to download app, phone notified it couldn't be installed [ERROR CODE 920]. Desktop site now shows the app is already installed and keeps making me sign in again. Same result for each app tested. (No Fix)
20. Unmount external storage (No Fix)
Pretty much given up now. Online support for this issue is useless, but apparrently a lot of people had this issue in the past. I can't afford a new phone and this is just another stupid bug in a long running string of glitchy crap I've had to put up with using these goddamn Android phones. Android has gotten so s**t since Jellybean, and before KitKat I never even had problems like this to fix. It's almost enough to drive me to get an iPhone.
Help?

Deleted apps appear after reboot

Greetings.
Sorry for my grammar, I'm not a native english speaker, still learning.
I've got an unexplainable trouble, kind of frustraiting.
Phone: Galaxy Tab 10.1 P-5100 model.
Android: ver. 4.0.4
Stock ROM: official russian P5100XXLF2
The problem is, when I turn off and then turn on my device (or simply restart it) system is restored to some earlier state, this include:
1. Apps I've deleted are still installed.
2. Widgets or app shortcuts on 'home' pages are still on their old place though I've rearranged them.
3. Same with wallpapers.
4. Same with settings.
What I've tried:
1. Factory reset + cache clean. Even though it is supposed to be a full system wipe, it doesn't work.
2. Reinstalling Stock ROM via ODIN. Doesn't work either. Weird thing is, when I've done it before, it was done in about 5 minutes, but this time I've waited for about 1 hour.
Also there is a notice in android recovery, which states:
did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/feature.xml' (no data available)
Device wasn't rooted (whatever it is, at least I haven't done anything).
Yeah, I've used google search, It's a known issue but nothing useful was found.
Would appreciate any ideas how to fix it.
Added: also
1. I connect my device to pc via usb
2. I remove my music from device via PC OS
3. I disconnect the usb cord.
4. I reboot the device
5. Voila, music is still there.
did you fix this problem i have the same issue

Android 6.0 - Google Play Services are not working

Hi everyone,
I have a rooted Doogee X3 running on Android 6.0 and I have an issue with the Google Play Services which are constantly crashing. I know I am not the only one, as I read a lot of posts on the topic, but I haven't still succeeded to fix the issue. What worked at the beginning was : 1. Stop the app, 2. empty cache, 3. disable the app -> factory reset for the app, 4. reboot phone, 5. enable the app, 6. reboot phone, 7. update the app, 8. reboot phone. The first time the issue appeared was after an update from Google beginning of November (the 2nd, if I recall correctly). With this, I didn't have the issue during a short month, was quite happy, but it came back yesterday, and this process didn't solve it.
Why update the app, as it seems the issue shows up after an update ? Because if I don't do it, a lot of other apps is not working either...
Current version is 11.7.46 (434-175121617).
Thank you very much for your help !

Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 & Lineage 14.1 problems and questions …

Hi,
is there a pissibility to install TouchWiz launcher on Lineage 14.1 SGS2 ?
I ask, because i have many problems and missing features on LA 14.1, and i think this might be a problem of the Trebuchet launcher.
1. Missing Samsung Driving Mode
2. USB-PC connection is always at "charging" (doesn't stay at MTP)
3. GPS doesn't show the status, if it is on or off, or searching for a singnal (it only shows up when requested by an app)
4. Menue Button shows launcher settings instead of System settings
5. Changing / swiping home sites stops at the first and the last site. (no endless search-change in one direction possible)
6. there is no "nerby" connection possible. DNLA, Chromecast, NAS, and BT doesn't appear in the OS native media players. (like it was in OS 4.12)
7. The OS integrated screensharing doesn't work. It just connects for a second to the chromecast device and then it closes.
8. Email attachements (e.g. WAV) doesn't open. Error message: "no app installed to open" And there is no choice to choose an app manually. But i have many apps installed that can play WAVE.
I think this is related to the Trebuchet launcher?
Is there another launcher possible that fixed all these issues?
Tasker command Problems (E-Robot):
9. Can't unlock display via Tasker
10. Some events doesn't work, e.g. "App started / App opened / App get in focus / App closed" etc.
Other:
11. When i try to overwrite some app-setting files in root directory, the app says "no such file", or "permission denied". But the file has the same permissions as the orig file before.
(in one of 50 trials the files where accepted without an error message, but i don't kow why, or what i done right)
12. When I insert the SD card from the phone to the PC, the Win-PC says the SD card is locked. But it isn't! So I must do error-check and correction every time, or sometimes new-format the SD card.
13. Is it possible somehow to change/rename the automatic code names of the internal storage and external Sd card? "4B95-09FD" and "410E-190C" is so ugly, and i can never remind which is what. Why are the developers doing such ugly ****???
14. Since i have installed and deinstalled the "iPlay Music" app (3 Days ago) the playstore always opens itself one time each hour and prompts me to install the player. How can i stopp the playstore to bother me with this installation prompt?
15. When the screen is waked up (e.g. by a call, or message) it keeps awake and does not lock again, sometimes.
16. The soft key bottons in display-off mode are always shining or blinking. Why??
Are there any solutions to any of these issues?
Maybe a Nougat Rom with touchwiz?
My old 4.12 stock rom was really more easy to handle. I miss it :crying:
Best,
Rooster
