few days ago i've seen that Google Play Services app runs in background and eats a battery (not much, but still)... so i freezed it with Titanium...
some/they say that Google Play Services is required on the phone, but i don't see any change without it (Google Play works, apps can be updated via store, Gmail app works, etc...)
when i run the Youtube app - it shows a popup message that Play Services must be enabled > jumps to settings/apps/play services > i just closed that and Youtube is working without a problem...
so my question is - why it is needed at all?
2 or 3 weeks ago, I think the time, I installed v6 Google Play Services which has different DPIs
I installed for my Z1 phone, but after that, my phone has got some problem, like the games can not ever connect to Google Play Games, I can't run gmail and sync mails
I uninstalled all Google associates apps and try to install the lower version and also the Google Play Services lower version, but the prob didn't solveĜ and even the Google Play does not run
And my biggest problem is that the phone can't save my Clash of Clans
what should I do? Even I mailed to Supercell, but didn't receive any answers yet
You can try to go settings>apps> find Google Play Services>click unistal update
and do the same for google play games...
After that try to update it from google play not from unknown sources.

Tried a lot before, but didn't help
I'm getting FC on stock rom after updating Google Play Services. I was wondering if anybody have the stock Google Play Services that came with the phone so I can push it to my phone? Thanks.
So, I Recently Accidentally Updated Google Play Service (Not Using Play Store) And After
That I Started Experiencing Problems With My Phone. My Google Play Store Wasnt Working And I Couldn't Log In To Google+ In Games And There Was A Notification Saying
"Unknown Issues With Google Play Services" I Tried Downgrading The Google Play Services And It Did Not Work. I Tried Updating It Again, Some Things Seem To Be Working But The Play Store Is Still Not Working And I Cant Sign In To Games.If Someone Sees This Please Help If U Can
So I have one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I have successfully installed Google Play, Play Services, Account Managements, and Services Framework and gotten everything to work. One of the games my kids enjoy playing is Disney Crossy Road. I know this is in the Amazon App Store, but one of the issues with it being in Amazon is they don't save progress, plus I use my account across my kids devices. If I make each kid a Google account, they have their own cloud save for the game. I got this all working on my daughter's Fire and it syncs with her Google Play account.
We just recently purchased my son one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I tried to do the same thing for him. I used Method #2 found here: lifehacker[dot]com/how-to-get-google-play-on-a-kindle-fire-and-install-any-1790706649 to install Google Play on his Kindle. I have installed 4 games from Google Play on his Kindle including Tiny Tower, Township, and Disney Crossy Road. I have the settings to allow non-Amazon apps to run. Tiny Tower and Township sync up with his Google Play account with no problem. But his Disney Crossy Road does not sync with Google Play. Google Play says it is installed and I can click the Play button from it and it will open the app, but none of the achievements pop, and when I open it on my daughter's Kindle, in the settings, there is a button with the gamepad icon to show it's synced. I cannot get this icon to show on my son's Fire. I have reinstalled the app 4-5 times and rebooted the tablet. I even tried downloading the app from apkmirror.com to see if that would help, but I cannot get it to work.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get Disney Crossy Road to sync with Google Play? Thanks for your help!
"Google Play" is a whole suite of different apps, not all of which are installed by default when you sideload the "Google Play Store".
Open up the Google Play Store, and search for "Google Play Games". Install that, and see if your games start syncing then?

If you can't install Google Play Games from the Play Store (-505 error) grab a copy from APKMirror and sideload.

Wow, I swore I responded yesterday but I also have Google Play Games installed. I am able to see his achievements for other games through this, that is how I know his other games are syncing properly. Any other ideas?

Not at the individual app level - sorry.
So I was playing around with this a little more and went into the Google Settings app. Inside here, there is a link for the Connected Apps section and I noticed Disney Crossy Road is not here. Any ideas if there is a way through here that I can try to enable the connection?
Thanks again!

The app must request access (typically on initial launch)...and you must grant it. There is no mechanism for auto-authorization or forcing a manual request (obvious acuity implications).
So I got it to work last night! I don't know which of the two things did it, but I reinstalled the app again but this time in game, I set his age to 18. Then from Google Play, I said I wanted to record in game footage. After playing the intro level, it synced with Google Play. For my daughter's Fire,I put her actual age and it worked. That's why I'm not sure which change fixed it, but now it works! Thanks for your help and suggestions!
