I had the same problem with Google Photos. What I did to solve it was to delete the cache and data of Goggle Play Store. This solved the problem for about two months. Then the issue started again. I deleted all data of Play Store again and everything came to normal. I think it is a glitch Play Store and deleting its data solves the problem.

Thanks a lot for your advise. I'll try it.

Google Play Services Stopped etc.

Randomly today, I keep getting persistent popups that say Google Play services has stopped and another one involving com.google something about location I believe.
I have not touched my phone hardly at all today, haven't installed anything or changed any settings etc. Have tried rebooting phone, to no avail. Any help? Thanks
I think there was a update to google play services taking it to version 5 in the past day or two, maybe you got a dodgy update or it is conflicting with another app. Maybe try clearing data for play services then reboot the phone.
Thanks for the reply. Tried that to no avail. This is maddening.

Same thing happens to me as well, i can't figure out the cause. the other one is com.google.something.location.service
I am also getting this randomly since the latest Play services update 2-3 days back, mostly for the Dash app.
I been having Google+ force close even if cache and data clear
Having exact same problems. It also removes your Gmail account in back up and reset in settings. Only thing I did to make it stop was uninstall the update and reboot and won't update until google fixs the problem, idiots! I don't understand why they haven't pulled the update or updated the update by now.
Mine pops up every 2-3 seconds. I can't even make calls or text without wanting to throw my Z2 into the East River. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

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.
Thanks!

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.

Issues with Google account/apps after update to 145 with magisk

Hello!
Just a few days ago the 145 update hit my device. After installing it and reinstalling twrp plus magisk I am experiencing issues with Google News, Gmail and even with account management.
Gmail shows emails, but doesn't display the content, same for Google News stand. If I remove the Google account entirely, and try to readd it, it gets stuck at 'checking info '. This only seemed to happen after the update and then after I installed magisk (with YouTube vanced as a module) and rebooted, now I can't access emails anymore/read news. Funny thing is, even k9 mail doesn't work and shows the exact same Issue as Gmail. In a browser I can easily access Gmail.
Is anyone having similar issues? I had to reset my device two two times already to get it working again, but as soon as I installed magisk (and YouTube vanced) it broke again.
Later I can add a log cat if somebody could use it.
Did you try to reset device or clear cache?

I updated to 145 to sort the "Okay Google" issue out, now I am experiencing lack of mobile data and Assistant is sporadic....are you sure you are getting mobile data? mine seems to work fine on WIFI.
I did reset the device twice and that helped. I am now thinking it may have to do with webview/Chrome, since all these actions that don't work require these apps. I did install bromite together with magisk, so it may have something to do with it. But deleting bromite and deactivating/reactivation chrome doesn't help either. Actually, Chrome starts up but won't load any website.
I may have to reset again and not install bromite and see if that helps.
And yes, the issue persists on mobile data or wifi.

Ahh Okay just seems a coincidence with the update, I'm on to Vodafone now thinking it may be a network/upgrade issue for me.....

Hi, slightly off topic here, but how did you fix the "Okay Google" issue?
It's greyed out for me and I can't seem to find a solution.

Pocophone stops my downloads in playstore

You see when i download files above 1gb i download it before i sleep. Last night i download 2 games that is above 1.5gb and when i woke up the downloading progress is gone. Theres no notification that theres an error while downloading, its just gone. This happened twice already and i dont think its in the wifi. How do i fix this? Is this something about the phone sleeps during night time to save battery?
maybe its the miui, not the pocophone itself.

It has nothing to do with either Poco or MIUI. Blame it on Google server. I have faced this issue several times on my Nokia 7 plus, Mi A1, Nokia 8.1 and initially had the same reaction like you. Then I did a little research and found out Android has this issue forever. Not everyone faces it everytime. But this issue is very common and data consuming.
I think is something related with the ROM itself. It occurs to me serveral times randomly and after several hours or even days it continues downloading normally.
After a lot of reasearch all over the web I find a way to mitigate this effect, go to Settings, Apps and find Google Play Store and Google Play Services, first wipe cache of both, if it doesn't works try to clear data, but it could have collateral damages, as the Play Store could be innaccesible, in which case you have to reinstall the ROM over.
Hope it helps.
downgrade the playstore , (factory default) and then try updating! or use apkpure store!
i faced same issue and i started using apkpure! ( might be there is fix out there) but then I was too lazy to find

Is apkpure like playstore or is does it only download apks. Guess i'll have to use that for offline games if clearing cache and data wont work.

Question [FIXED - look edited OP] Phone always polling location

Hello everyone. Since yesterday my phone has been polling my location constantly. I didn't find any issues with security (Malwarebytes scan), I'm not using any weird app not from the Play Store, I didn't change any setting and the privacy setting is not showing like any app is asking for location constantly. Are you experiencing anything like this? How would you go about fixing this issue? Thanks.
FIX: Google Play Services 22.45.17 solves the issue. If you didn't get the update you can get it on APKMirror at your own risk.
Same issue here! I guess we should wait for a Google Play services update

I've been digging a bit more and looks like it's not due to Google Play Services. I checked and it polled the location data in the background correctly without triggering the icon in the status bar. There's something else, maybe proprietary to Motorola, that's freaking out and using location all the time.
I don't see the battery being affected though. Did you?

No effect on the battery either here. When did you start seeing this issue? For me it was yesterday.
Last week, then it stopped after disabling and re-enabling all locations setting. Yesterday it happens again
The only new app i installed before it happening was the Google health connect

For me, as of today, it didn't stop disabling and re-enabling the location access. It stopped for a while, but started back showing the location icon after a while. No amount of reboots and checks solved anything.
Have you joined the beta on Google app, Google play services etc? The only thing I didn't try is to unroll from all beta versions

I'm not on the beta Google Play Services app and didn't want to roll back because I think it's gonna mess up something for sure! Also, from what I can see, if you disable and enable the location service and check after a short while the authorizations for the Google Play Services you'll see that it uses location data briefly and correctly in the background without any issues. I think that's not the culprit.

No shot, I don't know what to do about it really. It just happened suddenly one day and doesn't seem it's gonna fix itself anytime soon. Do you any other people experiencing this issue? Other recent posts about this issue?
Brothers, any good news in this issue?

No good news unfortunately. I keep reading online about people having the same issue and nobody knows how to fix it. It's getting ridicolous at this point, really. Someone should get a hold of Google. I tried sending an email through the Play Store, but I got an email back saying that they don't monitor that email address anymore and got sent back to the useless FAQ page.
@dielle27 @Sultan M I got suggested to try to boot the phone in safe mode but it happened again. Wanna try that and let me know?
I received a new update with November system patch, but location icon is still there.

Got the update too but didn't install it because another user with an Edge 20 is on the same patch and they can't make the icon disappear even for just an hour at the time. On their phone it's on ALL the time, no matter what. So I'm holding off the update.
If i disable and then enable again the location setting, the icon disappears for a while, so for me nothing changed with the update

I've seen that on other forums for other phones they suggested a rollback of the Play Services. I tried but it didn't work. Can you try aswell and let me know if it's a solution for you? Thanks!
It didn't work as well. At least battery life isn't affected, but it's pretty annoying as well to not have a resolution after an official update
