Hi everyone,
Thought you may have an idea about the following:
Google automatically disables the Google News app in a few countries (Spain, Denmark). The app can be re-enabled on the play store but always ends up disabling itself after a while.
I have tried many things on my rooted Oneplus 6 w/Magisk:
- made Google News a system app
- tried a workaround for Google Feed as per this XDA Article
- changed my Google and Play Store countries
- locked the app in the multitasker
......
= No dice, Google keeps disabling itself after a while. Weirdly enough, my Google News app works fine on my Essential Phone or Xiaomi Mi Pad 4.
Would anyone haven any idea for a workaround? I was thinking maybe disabling Google News apk signature?
Thank you all
same problem here with my op5t, any update?

Hey there,
if you are still a regular user of the good old GTab 10.1 - like my GF - you might have encountered this issue recently too.
Google has updated and does remotely update your Play Store Service to a version which is not supported anymore by this tablet, or the other way around, the app does not support our hardware anymore and the service keeps crashing and crashing, same with Chrome and Maps as far as I know.
Well I first thought something is wrong with the ROM or Gapps so I looked for a recent unofficial ROM and found the [ROM][Unofficial][AOSP] Android 7.1.1 Nougat and there was stated:
Incompatible apps:
The following apps no longer support the hardware in this tablet. They will not work on any ROM for this device. There is no hack to make them work.
Apps that do not support this tablet:
Chrome 50+
Google Translate
Gboard 6.0.79
Maps 9.45
Google Play services 10.2
Apps based on Unity 5 engine
Last known compatible versions:
Chrome 49.0
Gboard 6.0.69
Maps 9.44
Google Play services 10.0.84

Well I had a backup from 2015 on the GTab and restored it but immediately the service updated itself and it began to crash.
In the Above mentioned thread there was some1 writing
This worked for me (for disabling Google Play Services auto-update) :
- disconnect wifi
- disable auto-update apps in Google Play Store
- in Settings / Apps, GPS, 3-dots menu, Uninstall updates, so back to v10.0.84....
- in App info, Data usage, disable Unrestricted data usage
- reconnect wifi
Now GPS doesn't seem to auto-update anymore.
Best regards

Sadly this does not seem to work for me. I was thinking about Titanium backup to freeze the GPS but I am not sure if this will work.
Also flashed manually a GApps Version which had the older play store in it but also got overwritten immediately
So have you encountered this issue and how did you fix it?
Thanks
Did you make sure to turn off auto update apps in Google Play store? That combined with the other steps listed worked for me and my Galaxy Tab play services has NOT updated... And it works fine, though it still occasionally crashes, but not every ten secons.
Thank you for this information. I've been banging my head on the wall for a few days while searching the cause.
I'm facing exactly the same problem.
I don't have the "Disable unrestricted data usage" option in Google Play Services Data Usage.
There is only "Restrict app background data", but this one doesn't prevent GPS from update.
In the next day GPS updates automatically to version 10.2.* and crushes.
have you tried this ? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832
tl;dr create 2 folders at /data/app : com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk . Done that today, but still need to test on the long run.
I tried this and it worked - for a couple of days. Now some apps are complaining they are unlicensed
Well I was able to disable GPS completely but now, as stated above, apps are complaining and there are now no app updates availible and the complete store is disabled, not really what I was looking for. But I guess Google now really fu:cyclops::cyclops:ed us. So are we done with this tablet or what?

My p4wifi is working fine on the latest 7.1.1 ROM and the older GApps. Disabling automatic updates in the Play Store keeps regular apps from updating when we don't want them to.
Disabling the background data settings in Apps.... Google Play Services... Settings keeps GPS from updating itself.
(I'm not sure that I made the settings change in Developer Options or not.)
It might be worth reading through the posts in the 7.1.1 thread.
I can afford a new tablet, but cannot find anything this size that keeps the ROM current with Google releases.
(I also do not play games or need esoteric applications.)
Don't give up yet.
Is this a solution?

I also deleted cacche from Gps & blocked the internet connection wth Afwall.
Tried the solution of lebaronrouge in 5.1.1 rom topic.
Seems to work.
Anyone got this yet

According to this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-assistant-now-available-for-all-android-6-0-devices/
Yes, but not worldwide yet...
I just tried updating my play services from 10.2.98 to the newest non beta on apkmirror which is 10.2.99 but assistant is not enabled. I then tried the latest beta which is 10.5.37 but still no assistant. I just got the Google app update to 6.13.x earlier via play store so I figured all I needed was play services but apparently not unless root is causing an issue.

I'm not rooted and updated play services and the Google app and also still have no assistant. So, apparently it is a server side switch that we all just need to wait for. Of course I still don't have the dual tab google app layout, so I'm not holding my breath.

That dual tab Google app layout is still a thing? I never got it either and just assumed it was pulled. So for assistant, the Google blog says it's a play services update, naturally that means something else like a server side update too. Silly Google, tricks are for kids.
I have a 6P and 5x both on 7.1.2 beta, no Google Assistant. I have a hunch that apart from having to have the new Google Play Services, that individual accounts have to have the switch thrown on it by Google. Like many of Google's software updates this is liable to take weeks for everyone to see.
I have a 6P, 5X and a 5. Yesterday in an effort to solve another problem, I had clean installed factory 6.0, 7.0, 7.1.1 and 7.1.2(beta) with locked bootloaders and completely stock onto my 6P. None of the phones and none of the factory ROMs had Google Assistant enabled even after updating all stock apps. WTF, Google, after your big announcement that it was available? Aside from the one person in this thread, I haven't heard of anyone having this enabled, even read through over 400 comments in Android Police thread.
Still have not received it. Running stock 7.1.1.

It's a server side switch, so we all have to just wait until google flips the switch.
Here's how I did it:
I enrolled with ALL the permissions with the Google (Google Now) app; i.e., News and weather updates.
Then, I downloaded and enrolled with Google Allo. I gave it ALL of the permissions it requested of me. Then I made a few queries with Allo's Google Assistant bot.
It's important that you turn Location and Search histories ON.
I was greeted by Google Assistant shortly thereafter...
Hope this helps!

Hello, I've got EMUI 10 a month ago, but in the last couple of days, I have a strange issue with the play store. When I try searching for anything I could previously install from play store (facebook, twitter,Viber,Instagram), the search won't return any results... I have tried clearing data and cache for play store and play services, re-adding google account, nothing helped. I have even contacted google support through play store chat platform, and after trying a few steps, they advised me to contact the device manufacturer...
Did anybody else experienced the same issue, could it be fixed somehow?
Couple of possibilities, do you have data access via sim or wifi and is it working. Have you updated play store and Google services? Have you applied customizations? Have you restricted play store access to power and data. What did you do on device before you noticed the glitch?
I've been on 10 for awhile and no isues after updating.

Everything is stock and updated, no restrictions... Nothing was done to the device when this started, that is the main reason I am asking if maybe something is broken in EMUI 10 and Play store compatibility
hi wondering if anyone is able to check if google messages & google camera (both by google LLC) work on s10 lite.
I tried out the phone in store & neither of those apps even showed up in the play store when using the s10 lite. google contacts did & installed no issues so not sure why messages & camera would be an issue. Might be demo software issue but strange it would only affect certain google apps & not them all. Also i tried it in 2 different stores where the demo software would be different & same issue on both.
would appreciate of a screenshot of the search results on play store for both apps if possible. thanks in advance.
Google messages is available, Google camera isn't available for non Google phones.

I recently got a black shark 3 pro CN version from Giztop (2 days ago). Device is great and I absolutely love it. However I noticed an issue whilst using Google maps or any app that requires maps access. In Google maps, my location never gets pinpointed as nothing happens when I ask the app to access my location. Similarly, an app requiring Google maps service to work functions. I get an error saying 'google play services updating'.
Another issue I've noticed is if I use the Google play games app to launch a game, nothing happens. Which led me to the conclusion that my Google play services are not installed properly. And yes I've given permissions to all Google apps.
I've tried deleting my gapps and re-installing them using Google installer but that still hasn't fixed the issue. Please help me solve this issue, thank you.

Edit: I have solved the problem, using the steps in this link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/dkdwie/guide_how_to_fix_gps_and_notification_issues_for/
Now Google maps and Google pay + Google play games have started responding normally!
This is not the solution.
The solution is enable all permissions and autostart in all google services and also permit no restrictions in miui battery optimization.
And the last and most important stage, Enter Locations by clicking long press on the button in the status bar, enter app permissions, choose "google play services" and click "always allow".
Thats it, you don't need to touch the supl server.
There is only one problem I found out. The Google services framework service "No restrictions" always return to "Miui battery saver" after restart and need to set it again. That make the compass on google maps to not work properly if you leave it in battery saver mode.
Hope it will help.
I'm having the same issue (Google services are updating) and did everything all Google apps & services have full permissions and still not solved.
Anyone know how to fix it.
