Did I just damage "Device Health Services"? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I was debloating my newly arrived LG G8 with ADB, and all is fine.
Only thing, I have noticed that "Device Health Services" is not to be found among the apps in the App Drawer, and very strangely when I search it in Google Play I can't find it.
I was able to find a thread in another forum which had a link to the App in Google Play, and with that link I could find the app and see that there is no "open" option. Only "uninstall".
So I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and just for one second after the reinstall I saw the "open" button there in Google Play, but then again only Uninstall.
When I go in Settings and then in Apps, Device Health Services is not disabled.
Did I disable some service which was connected to this one, and that's why the app is not accessible?
Or is it meant to be like this?
In the Settings I seem to have all what I need to manage the battery, but at the bottom it says "battery usage data not available".
Any idea?

[Q] Missing "Automatic Restore" option

I wanted to install Google Music but since I am in Portugal I could not download the app from the market. Therefore I read every single post from the following thread to solve the problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655&page=27
After installing a google music .apk file (which did not sync with my google account) I found that the solution relied on using market enabler to fake my market ID and download google music app, which I did after uninstalling the previous google music app. The "options" menu in the google music apk did not appear as well.
From the thread I mentioned above (by PieP), I understood that I should also disable "Automatic Restore" from the settings/privacy menu. The problem arises here because this option is missing in my android and I am not able disable it.
I have a LG-P500 Android 2.2. I have been searching in the forums and I could not find a thread regarding this issue.
Does anyone know how to disable "Automatic Restore" of applications? Make it appear in my settings menu for me to disable it? Is there any other way for me to fix my Google Music app (make it sync with my google account)?
Thank you for your help!!!
In fact I don't know if the problem is due to the "Automatic Restore" thing, but everytime I install Google Music App it has not the "options" menu for me to associate my google account...
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? This is haunting me for 1 month =( Please help!!!

Google Play Store stopped working

So I moved from WP7 to Android.
While setting up the phone, I enter the gmail account details and while "Signing-in", a popup appears saying "Google Play Store has stopped working". I clicked OK and completed the setup.
When I try opening the play store from the app drawer, the same message appears and I have also tried signing-in to another gmail account, same message.
I tried this in Viper ROM and CM10.1 for Rezound.
Can some help with this?
Thanks

three guesses just try them:
1. clear data and cahe of google play store.
2. goto /data/system and delete accounts.db
3. if the above of the two not helps then reflash the rom
Hit thanks if i helped u
Did all the above. After flashing another ROM, the Stopped working message is not popping up anymore but the Play store cannot connect. It says "No Connection", although the internet is working fine in the browser, news etc.
I flashed another ROM, but still the same thing.

Try going to the same menu and hitting clear data and clear cache? Might do the trick, thats all I can think of. If you're rooted, you can try freezing it and unfreezing.
Did you deactivate any apps in application manager of the Android system settings, like the apps Download, Google Play Services, etc?

(I got it working with reenabling them again after deleting app data and uninstalling the updates for Google Play and Services, Google Hangout. Then the preinstalled Play Store reappeared and everything got updated again including the Play Store.)
Also I did deinstall a manual Play Store update I could not open after installation. Anyway Play Store was no more visible in application manager but I used some other tool to get to the screen allowing to uninstall, I think this was the tool "Uninstall APK" in "Android Assistant".

Unknown issue with Google Play services - Gmail 5.0

Hi all,
I have this weird issue with the new Gmail 5.0 (updated directly from Play Store) and it keeps brining this message up and FC: Unknown issue with Google Play services. All the other Google apps work perfectly fine, it's just the new Gmail and Inbox that don't work.
Deleting the GmsCore.apk and re-installing via Play Store is not an option as it wouldn't let me in the Store then. I am running LegacyXperia CM11 on my Xperia Ray. I should mention that I side-loaded an updated services apk from apkmirror.com, perhaps, someone can upload their Google Play services apk?
Help will be appreciated. :good:
Gee Mail
Just received the update and get the same issue. Now can't use GMail at all.
I have the same issue too.
But I was using the ART, and I can open the gmail app after switched back to dalvik VM.
I will stop using ART in (4.4)m which has many compatibility issue (even with google!) , fallback to dalvik VM and wait until Lollipop.

Do you suffer from space insufficiency?
Are you trying to cure that thing by moving applications that get updated from /data/app to /system/app?
If yes then this might be your problem. Here is what I had.
With latest Google play services update all Google apps (Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Inbox by gmail) were working fine.
Then I needed space so I took the updated Google services apk which took a lot of space in my data partition and moved it to my system partition where its predecessor used to be. I did it completely well using root explorer and checking all tricky parts. I should mention that I study computer engineering and I've been into android more than 5 years so I know my way around.
Immediately after the transfer:
YouTube didn't load anything.
Gmail showed me the same message as you.
Maps force closed.
Inbox by gmail showed me a message of "oops something went wrong please try again later".
It is now my understanding that Google play services has become a very sensitive application that sadly should not be messed with. Especially with a completely redesigned and revamped app such as gmail 5.0 or inbox by gmail. They are just not THAT compatible yet to be able to keep working together after they've been moved around inside partitions.
My suggestion find the latest .zip of "pa gapps" flash it, update the apps that need updating and leave them as they are. They should work like that.
That aint it either

I'm afraid not. This is just an standard install of stock rom no root and certainly not moving files in system areas. All that's happened is I allowed to install the Gmail update then EPIC FAIL.
I have Gmail 5.0 (1569867) and Google Play Services 6.1.88 (1557022-036)
Guys, any update on this? It's getting really annoying to constantly reflash my rom from time to time... Is it possible that Google failed this much?
remove and reinstall the Google play services solved problem.
I've the same issue here but in a very custom rom, thought was my fault
Gee Music
Now after receiving an update of Google Music I now get a permanent notification saying "Unknown issue with Google Play services. Requested by Google Play Music'
So folks what do we do? Uninstall updates? Disable? Will rolling back break the rest of Android?
We have lift off!
Well what do you know? Suddenly my Gmail & Google Play Music now works. Hang on I didn't get any update notifications on these two apps.
Wait a minute, my Google Play Services has been stealthily updated to 6.5.87 (1599771-036)
Thanks Google. Sneaky.
Had the same issue
I had the same issue this two days Gmail wasn't working at all and Hangout was working but for every action i was taking it was giving me the error Unknown issue with Google Play Services and i found out the in my case the problem was Link2SD so what i did was unlinking Google Play Store and Google Play Services than i uninstalled Google Play Services and installed it againn but didn't linked them and error was gone.
The conclusion on my case was linking the app to sd card was causing the error.
Thanks

In may case turns out that I had a version of "google play services" for Android 5.0+ instead of for Android 2.3+.
I did install "google play services" with "System app unistaller" and install the recommended version at gappsandroid.blogspot.com/2015/01/download-google-play-services-apks.html.
Note: In order to uninstall "google play services" "Adndroid devide manager" must be off in System -> Security -> Device administrators. Re-enabled it after install the correct "google play services" version.
Hope that helps

I have the same issue .
what unlinking means?
This is also just happened to me this morning. Suddenly my calendar and GMail stop working and prompting the error "Unknown error in Google Play Services".
I tried to remove and re-add the Google account but no success. Clearing cache and application data also no luck for me.
I tried to Google this case and one of the guy suggesting to do these following steps and it works for me:
1. Untick the Android Device Manager from Setting - Security - Device Administrator
2. Go to Setting - Apps then look for Google Play Services. Click on Uninstall updates.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open HangOut and it will prompt to update Google Play Services.
5. Update the google play services.
6. Done.
Now everything is working again for me.
Maybe you guys can try it. Hopefully it will helps.

oneplus 3 - greenify google apps

Hi guys,
I have a rooted oneplus 3 with greenify working in root mode. For some reason greenify will not have the option to greenify any apps made by google such as google drive, google photos, google keep, google music, youtube, etc. They are not even system apps, some aren't even stock apps. Does anyone know why and if there's a solution to this? Thanks.
I think my previous samsung galaxy note 3 greenify was able to greenify "some" of the google apps.

You have to have Greenify paid version and Xposed and enable greenifying system apps in Settings. Plus Greenify has to be enabled in Device Administrators and Accessibility in phone Settings.
What happens when you choose such apps for hibernation? Do you get any message?

Therein lies the problem. These apps don't even show up in the list when I try to choose an app for hibernation. Google Drive, Google music, Google photos, YouTube, they don't appear anywhere for selection.

Probably obvious (sorry) but you have ticked 'show all's under the overflow
(3-dot) menu in 'apps analyzer'? Believe your previous posts indicated paid version with appropriate Xposed based features enabled. Both are needed to expose Google apps on most systems (ie: when installed as system apps).
