[Q] Google Play Services has Stopped - constantly - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since about a month ago, I've been getting a "Google Play Services has Stopped" error. Nothing seems broken, but this message pops up constantly throughout the day. Happens to me on stock, and on custom roms (Currently on FireKat v11). Happens on both Note 4 devices that I've owned.

Did you ever instal the asop rom before ? if yes ? before installing touchwiz did you properly flash not dirty flash

I've only ever used TouchWiz roms on this device. After I got my new Note 4, I rooted it then followed the flash instructions in my Rom's post.

Have you tried going to google play and play servicing clearing cache, data, and restart it ? If not the only way i can think is going to the odin

Try this and see if this one will work by any chance. If not try installing gapps( from cm or PA Gappa ) if that works. If not the best way is odin to everything normal

Uninstall updates and should clear right up. I had them like 2 weeks ago and I saw play services updated so I unupdated it lol. No issues
BAD ASS NOTE 4

I used rom tool box and force removed Google plus. They seem to have stopped.

[Q] Google Play Services not Available

I just made the leap from the latest stock AT&T ROM to the latest Holics ROM. I'm really liking it so far... everything is working really smoothly, with two exceptions. Google+ and Google Keep do not work. Google+ simply will not open and freezes my phone for several seconds. Google Keep opens and immediately closes with the error "Google Play Services are not available". These are the only 2 apps that appear to be affected. I have done the following...
Cleared data from both apps
Uninstalled and re-installed both apps
Cleared data from Google Play Services
Uninstalled and re-installed Google Play Services <--- I don't recommend this step to anyone. It completely screwed all my Google apps.
Factory reset
Re-flashed the ROM - Step-by-step to make sure I did it right
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

I have no problem here (not holics rom) Maybe try a different ROM?
Resolved - Sort of...
I discovered that the problem was not present when I would initially flash the ROM. I could install all kinds of apps and make all kinds of tweaks and changes. It wasn't until I powered off the phone AND pulled the battery that the problem would present itself.
Here's the kicker. What I found was if I simply went in and uninstalled the updates from Google Play and then opened Google Play and let it re-install the latest update the problem would go away.
So, while it's not a resolution per se... it is an easy 5 minute work around. The phone works perfectly as long as I don't pull the battery. I've tested this work around 3 times and every time the problem went away.
At least now I won't have to worry about flashing another ROM until the call volume issues with the Jelly Bean ROMs gets resolved.
:good:
same problem, resolution not working

I tried your trick, after the 3rd time it work for me. This problem also affects the YouTube and Foursquare apps as far as I can tell.
However the problem returns each time the phone is restarted. Is there any other permanent fixs? Any similar ROM suggestions? (S-ON HTC Vivid)
You've had a bad flash. Wipe all partitions and start fresh. This happened to me before as well. Only way to fix it was to wipe all partitions and reflash

Same here. Been running Banancakes ROM for over a year, and loving every minute of it... But this issue with Google Keep is driving me up the walls. Thanks for your workaround, it saves the day for now, but this is one annoying bug. I don't use YouTube so wouldn't know, but I'll give it a look see to find out if the same applies.

I don't know. I have wiped and flashed quite a few times to try other ROMs and that behaviour is pretty consistent...

I had this same issue with keep and google plus using codefire desensed Rom on my vivid. I was able to fix it by wiping everything and reflashing the Rom but I also flashed ics gapps right away after. Don't know if that was necessary or not but now I no longer get that play services error. Also my play store app updated automatically to 4.0 right away where before it did not update.
Just a thought, but reflashing fixed my issue.

I'll probably give it another try, but I flashed it again recently and did exactly that : full wipe, gapps right away and I have the same issue as OP. I did restore a bunch of stuff via TB, so maybe that's where I screwed up...

[Q] Google play services will not be silenced

Whenever I load any Google type app, from hangouts to gmail, I always get an "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped" error. Always.
I've tried the following:
1) Getting a different Nexus 6
2) Factory reset
3) Flash the stock 5.0 AND 5.0.1 images downloaded fresh from google
To make this more interesting, I just tried using my friends google account and his works!
Is this something on the server side that needs to be fixed? If so, where do I start to try to contact google?

It only happens when I install a new ROM . don't know of its bad Gapps, but I've tried a number of them and they are all the same. When flash stock ROM, the issue goes away.

Help Needed

I am getting a strange error on my phone. Until a week ago Google play store was working perfectly on my phone but now suddenly whenever I try to use it, it says unfortunately stopped all the time.
The only way I can use it by uninstalling updates but whenever I do that, the play store automatically updates, I have performed a clean wipe and reinstalled the rom, still no luck.
I am using chroma rom, 5.0.2 build, the final version
Any help is appreciated.

How about your google play services, does that need to be updated? My version is 7.0.99 and I am on version 5.4.10 of the play store
Maybe try a different gapps zip?

Have you tried a different rom/gapps combo? It may make sense to do a nandroid backup and then try a different 5.0.x rom/gapps. If that helps you can probably narrow it down to which software is causing the error.
Thanks for the help guys, I solved the issue, it turned out a layer was causing the problem, I removed it and everything is back to normal.

Great news. Would you mind using a more descriptive thread title next time please? As this is a Q&A forum, "help" is implied

Apps disappearing after flashing custom roms

I've successfully flashed and tried out several custom roms for the HTC Mini One 2 (Nostromo, CarbonRom, Cyanogen 12, gapps flashed using both arms and aroma) and have encountered one problem repeatedly: After restoring several installed apps (whatsapp, a few games, a dictionary and a translation app) they are all visible and working after the reboot. However, after rebooting again they all disappear from the trebuchet app list (which I really like, btw) along with a number of other apps. In addition, apps like google play force close the moment I open them.
Any ideas about how to rectify this problem?
PS: Quick props to Soenisti. I really like the look and feel of the Nostromo rom. It feels like the fastest of the roms I've tried so far.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do that religiously after flashing. Tried that and it didn't seem to work. Hmmm... might try it again when I have the phone.

#Normaly would be before the flashing.
If doesn't work a full flash /restore might be needed as something went wrong.

Cannot install or update applications from the Play Store since upgrading to N

I enrolled on the beta program on my Nexus 6 and allowed it to update to Android N (June build) and now I cannot install anything from the Play Store or update applications through it. I get an error every time.
I have tried:
Turning it off and on.
Disabling Play Store and clearing the cache (cannot see anywhere to uninstall updates).
What should I try next? Should I try and uninstall the Play Store and reinstall it through apk?
Clear data of Google Play Services and Play Store then try installing/updating apps.
This did not work. It still just shows "Downloading" constantly and yet nothing happens. The bar just goes across endlessly til I stop it.
It is error code 495 if that helps, I will try Googling it now...

It still has not worked. I also turned off the data saver built into Android 7 and also turned off Opera Max in case they were affecting it.
I really don't want to flash it but I might just wait until the final launch of Android 7 in August and flash it.

Max does not route Google Play requests through compression servers as it's HTTPS. Also we're testing if it works properly before each release .

I have the same problem, but what I have found that works is: starting the download.. force stopping the play store app. Tap playstore app again, then download will finish. I have to do that every download. Keeps me from switching back to MM.
no clue why anyone wants N at this point; very few things actually work on it, and MM has so many fantastic roms/tweaks/features right now..
Its only another month or so until its officially out; especially if you are N00B, you should really wait until then

I got bored and didn't have access to a PC so I thought I'd try it. Surely access to the play store and the ability to install apps is one of the most basic and prioritised functions and given it's the 3rd Android N beta release I thought it would be fine.

Actually DevPreviews have been what I would consider fine for me. Very few problems that would cause me to return to mm. 99% of the stuff I use works, so I'm good with it. I am encrypted and I manually flash different partitions when updating. I've had very few problems.

Truth be told I don't know a great deal about Android yet. I can do some basic stuff that average phone owners can't like installing apks but I've never flashed anything. I'm not scared to try with a step by step guide though so I might try one later. I will see what version of CM is newest - does CM automatically update now? So when Android N is launched it will update? Or I'd have to flash it again?
Just restart the device and then try. Or force stop playstore and run it again. i'm using android N beta (NPD56N) since 7 days and i found no bugs yet! its working perfect on my nexus 6

I was the same way when I started with my Evo. I've come a long way since then( only less fear lol). I've learned a lot from searching first, then if I can't figure it out, there's someone on here willing to help. Trial and error is a great teacher. I don't use CM anymore. I use pureNexus.. When it comes out for N, I'm going back to it. Beanz is a great developer. Make a rom back up and start flashing.
