Google Play Services (att) needed - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I went and downloaded newer versions of Google Play services from apk mirror and now keep getting a permissions notification.
What version are you running on your stock att branded nexus 6 and do you have the apk?
Thanks.

I have the moto version and mine came with 6.1.84. I installed 6.5 but it caused my Google Inbox to stop working along with GPM. I'm just going to wait for it to update on its own

Attached a pic of the updated version I have on my N6 (from T-Mobile). Should be the same across carriers, but someone with an AT&T version can confirm. Also, this version is giving me huge battery drain (either first or second on the list in settings). No other issues besides that though.

Stock. 6.1.88 Att no issues with battery drain. Doesn't even show up on my battery use and all options are on.

Mine is running 6.1.88 -736! Looking at Google's explanation of the - XYY version, this doesn't make any sense! This is a stock ATT N6. I have only unlocked the bootloader.
I really wonder if it is on the 736 version because I bumped my Nexus 4 running lollipop for the initial setup. I have thought about flashing the factory lrx21o image and seeing what happens...
Shouldn't I have 738 or something? A

Updated via the play store or did you manually update it?

Manually updated by downloading the apk
Someone with the stock version, do you think you could download the apk so I can flash the stock one? I want to avoid having to reflash the whole boot image just for the stock version, and I can't find the apk anywhere else.

Disable the play services then downgrade it to the stock version and re-enable it.
Here is a link to the stock one that's on my phone (I didn't post the apk)

Google Voice.

I hope am not duplicating posts ... is there any way one can revert to the old build? The new one 0.4.1.26 is really buggy. Thanks

Are you rooted? If not, then the version of GV which came with your stock ROM is definitely still there. Go to Market and find Google Voice, and it should give you the option to uninstall updates. If you're rooted it may still be there too depending on how you have or haven't modified the phone.
If there is a specific build you want that is newer than the one on your ROM, you may have to hunt for it.
I am rooted. Had disabled the auto update. Flashed with CM 6 and installed froyo apps with it and had the option to uninstall updates. Restored a certain back up from sdcard and that somehow made it pull the update. Now that uninstall updates option is now gone. Will hunt. Thanks.

If you know the release date of the current version, maybe you can try to find a Gapps zip from shortly before that date. Open it up and grab the .apk you want, and replace the one in the system apps directory.

VVM/My Verizon/Flash 10.2 all for GB (Updated 7/20)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.
Good post. Good idea.
My Verizon app not working on my stock T- bolt. Pop up says not supported on this device. Did you mean all *rooted* Verizon based ROMs?
This is great, and I'ma let you finish.... but where's the Hulu+? #kanyeshrug

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

Not on the market for T-Bolt, and sorry...I missed the GB in the thread title (linked here from another thread).
At the risk of being accused of threadjacking, somebody saw my post and sent me a link for a MyVerizon app that works on a stock T-Bolt. (Thanks Zinsko!) So in case somebody makes the same mistake as me and wants the same answer, It's here

I don't trust apps that I don't pull myself. Someone in that thread noted that that apk got flagged by Norton (mine doesnt). Just a heads up.

I had my concerns, but my Lookout Mobile gave it a thumbs-up, and it seems to work as it's supposed to. But thanks for the warning.
Tried installing vvm but no dice...tried installing as a apk tried dropping in system app tried renaming it. all I get is app not installed do I need to change permissions?
Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

And yes, I did change permissions. Would really love to get this working, as I have to use VZW VVM for work. Thanks.
All I do is install it like anything else. Looks like this.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. I'll reupload it when I get home if people are still having issues. I've installed it on every version of bamf that didn't include integrated Vvm and cm7.

Won't install or won't run?
I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero
When I try to launch the My Verizon app on Bamf 3.0 RC3 it says there is an updated version of the My Verizon app in the market. If I select upgrade, it launches the market, but can not find the app. If I select cancel, it closes the My Verizon app. Is anyone else having this problem?

Google Wallet?

Anyway to port the Google Wallet App from sprint NS4G to a regular Nexus S for T-Mobile??
yah i was also wondering this too.
Not until kernel.org is back up and running. And even then, you might not want to install it as it could cause your phone to not work with Isis when it launches

If the 2.3.6 update you received today included the "secure elements" portion of the previous Sprint updates, I think the chances are better that the Devs here might make it work. I don't put anything past them...
That being said, heed Rem3Dy's warning that whenever T-mo's system is released, there may be some tweaks necessary (by then ICS should be out anyway....).
I've seen some NFC elements in lib folder on i9020 2.3.6 zip file I extracted, but no Wallet apk.
A port would be cool because i bought the nexus for the sole purpose of replacing my wallet and i was pretty pissed off when sprint got it first...
T-Mobile Nexus s cyanogen mod just got 2.3.7 update. No google wallet included.. but is there anyway to add it? An apk or something I can test and work with?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
maybe you can extract the apk out of the official 2.3.7 from the NS4G?

Just tried that.. doesn't want to install.. I believe because it needs to b placed in google/apps... but I think it needs more permission for the nfc

Verizon Voicemail APK

can someone who still has stock firmware copy over the Verizon voicemail APK and upload it somewhere for me? I'm having major problems getting it to work under Chroma and done a lot of troubleshooting with no results. Verizon tech supp told me the play store app is a little different and I need to get the app that comes with the phone
Thx

it only works properly on the stock ROM. it does not work on custom ROMs. I'm not on Verizon, but I've been reading about Verizon users not getting it to work on custom ROMs, for months.
BTW, the app does not come preinstalled on the phone. it downloads from the play store when you boot up with the Verizon sim in it.
Using the newest versions of BlissPop ROM I've been able to use the Verizon visual voicemail app from the playstore.

Dhacker actually just recently got it working for CM and I assume others have/will start picking it to their roms.
Get from here, on the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.visualvoicemail
Side loading the app won't help. If the play store says incompatible, it won't work. But as others have stated, most recent ROM updates have added this feature. I know cm, octos, aosip, slim, chroma and benzo for sure all have it added.

[Q] OTA Lollipop update throws Play Error message on Moto X 2013

My wife's Moto X (2013) on VZW got the OTA to Lollipop last night, but today it keeps throwing an error "Update Google Play Services. Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services." If she follows the update link, it takes her to a blank page that has a retry button that doesn't do anything. I had her clear the Play cache and reboot, it re-compiled the apps but the phone still throws the same error message with the same result. She's on non-rooted stock (she doesn't like me messing with her gadgets too much ) so re-flashing is out of the question. I did a bit of research and found some suggestions out there that included attempting to side-load the latest Play services. Is this the best route to take or should I try something else instead? I got the newest Play services APK from Open GApps, so I know its safe, but if there is something else I can do to fix it without messing around with that I'd be a happy man.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
It gave me those errors also, but eventually the error messages went away after a few restarts. I also installed the newest Google Play Services downloaded from APKMirror so I can get Android Pay to work properly.

Was it a Moto X or your MAXX that it gave the error? When I get home tonight I'll try the side load to see if that fixes it.

Is anyone else having the problem of NOT receiving OTA on DE VZW..
I'm running stock ROM with xposed I don't see why I wouldn't receive
No, it was immediate after I RSD'd back to stock. Was running AOSP 5.1.1 prior. The first was the small update then the 700mb main file. When I say immediate, it was almost as soon as the phone finished booting up. This is a VZW Moto X DE as well, so maybe try a factory reset.

After getting home, I looked at her phone and couldn't replicate the message. So I dug deeper and found that indeed the Play Services had updated itself to the newest release sometime between when she complained about the error and when I got home. So that solves that one. I did, however, side-load the latest Play Store app, for some reason hers was several versions out of date. While I don't doubt her phone would have automatically updated it eventually it did put my mind at ease. Thanks for your input on this one.

Thread hijack aside...it could be that it is being rolled out in waves and you aren't in one of the waves yet. I would try a reboot followed by going to settings > system > system updates > check for system updates.
