Google Play Store won't open

Good day
I bought this phone 3 months ago, and this just happened awhile ago. My Google Play Store won't open. I have the version 4.1.10 installed.

Go to settings, application manager/All scroll down to Google Play services then clear data. Then go to Google Play Store then there clear data also. Now reboot your phone. See if that works.:thumbup:

I have tried clearing out the cache and data of my Google Play Store but no luck. I haven't tried it to reboot though.
I've read somewhere that I need to update my Google Play Store? If so, what's the latest version? Thank you!

Your on 4.1.10 that's the latest version I think, Google Play updates itself when newer version's are out. Here try this last version for JB 4.1.2. http://d-h.st/DxV. this is Google Play 4.1.6

Try some of these tips.
Clear dalvik-cache and reboot (doesn't have to be all of the dalvik-cache, you can just delete "/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]" and "/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected] ").Clear the Play Store's data and reboot.Clear Google Services Framework's data and reboot.Delete PS and GSF's ODEX files ("/system/app/Phonesky.odex" and "/system/GoogleServicesFramework.odex") and reboot.Uninstall updates either via Settings->Applications (or whatever it's called in the Android version on your phone/tablet) or manually delete "/data/app/com.android.vending.apk" and "/data/app/com.google.android.gsf.apk" and reboot.Delete your Google account from your phone/tablet, readd it, and reboot.Edit: I forgot to include clearing GSF's data.

Did you get Google Play to work at all after using them tips above. Some find deleting your Google account, reboot phone then relogin again helps.

Yes, I cleared the data off my Google Play Store and restarted the phone. It is working now!
Thank you!

Also one of the possible reasons why it is not working is brcause they were running a maintenance in the time when it was night in the us and day in the rest of the world.

[Q] Any workaround for Google play services battery bug?

Hey guys,
Is there any known effective workaround for the battery drain issue on 4.4 with google play services?
I have installed the newly released Google play services 5.0 but this is still an issue and causes the phone to get VERY hot during charging

Did you clear cache after installing new Google play services? If you didn't, clear cache and reboot your phone.

Cleared cache and so far seems to be working with v5.0! Thank you!

This is actually something I was trying to find a work around today.
Mind linking me the Play Services 5.0 you're using? I'd really like to try this.

Here you go

if that doesnt work I believe you will have to be rooted, use exposed and wakelock terminator.

Thanks for that. Gave it a go, got a result similar to the thread maker's. Was a dream come true, really.
Then it came back again. Didn't do anything different, just eventually came back into play on next reboot.
Uninstalled updates from Play Services entirely and rebooted, got the same effect. I don't think it's 5.0 fixing it, just the other play(s) causing it. Still running as 'uninstall updates' version (whatever it is-- lemme check... 4.0.33) and I've not had an issue with it coming back on. If it doesn't last then I have no clue how to fix this.

Sorry to be a pest and bump / double post.
But I havn't had it come back since I did an 'Uninstall Updates' from Settings > Apps > All
I don't know why this would be so darned weird... But for anyone who hasn't tried it... I guess, sadly try it - and the link that Androidtweaker gave.
When I installed the Play Store that Androidtweaker linked, I did nothing but play games for like 2 hours on my phone - No issues. Kept playing, 4 hours later popped back up. I play Puzzles & Dragon's and link it to my Google+, so I thought they might have triggered all the play services since it is Google Games.
However I uninstalled updates and now it's the 1st of July where I am (3 days later), with Uninstall Updates and playing P&D with G+, I don't have any Play Service Issues.
Sorry I couldn't be of help to anyone who comes to this thread via google searching. Perhaps installing the latest Play Store then deleting cache/dalvik helped cut out some issue hidden within somewhere?...

In settings/location, set to device only. Its google location reporting causing the issue. Setting it to device only utilises just GPS for location.

Google Play Services is absent on your device

So I got this little msg display on my phone today. Been trying to listen to iHeartRadio and it kept disconnecting. After I rebooted my N6, a msg popped up saying I will need Google Play Services, which apparently is not installed on my phone, in order to continue using apps. I have it installed and up to date. Anyone else experience this?

I went to the play store but didn't see an option of how to upgrade to the latest. How else can I do this?

Google play store download throttling

So loving the phone so far but my download speeds seem to be throttled when downloading on the Play store. <500kb/s consistently. other apps that require additional files download fine and streaming content is unaffected. It seems to be a common problem but i cant find a solution anyone else experiencing this ?
At first i thought it was my internet was going through a slow moment, but then i noticed the speeds never got better, I also have my note 5 which downloads from the play store at 10 mb/s so.

i know what u talking about my friend ! I got same issue with my mi5 pro. And I didn't fix that. It just some apps downloading good and some super slow...and it doesn't matter how speedy your wifi. Also chase bank is not working and some other apps will not. US and China is fighting with each other or what ever it is sir. The other roms will not help too.....until Cyanogen maybe. Damn I was about to pay 1.5k for the device and you remind all that sh!t I was faced to.
Best Regards

Seem to remember my wives note pro doing the same thing, then found out it had a vendor rom, once I took the chance and flashed genuine rom all was good. Where did you download playstore from? I had better results using Xiaomi google installer from their own store.

Yah the eBay seller installed the global rom for me including the play store. Maybe I should try installing it myself.

Mine does the same thing, and I'm pretty sure I have a vendor Rom on it as well. I figured it had to do with the Locale setting as it defaults to China and there is no United States listed.
But now that I have all my apps moved over its not as much of an issue, but it is pretty strange.
Is it the Play Store throttling? or something else on the phone maybe?

I installed the latest EU Rom and it has worked very well for me. No download issues in Play Store and actually being able to set wallpapers and lock screen compared to when I was on the China Rom. Plus, I can set locale to US with the EU.

I was having problems with slow downloads as well and it went away when I disabled the download accelerator in the MI APP STORE (which seems to try to point to some server in China which doesn't work well from the USA).
APP STORE, Account, Downloads, click on the to right (3 dots), settings and shut off "Xunlei download engine) and set "downloading using mobile data is" to unlimited.
Once I did this, it fixed my problems with the Google Play Store (as well as an updates from the MI app store).
Not sure if this will help but you can give it a try

Sorry - I have the original CN rom on the phone

I have the original China rom too, and turning off the MI app setting didn't help me at all.
What version of google play services are you running?

I didn't have the Mi App Store installed at all on whatever rom I had on this phone, But I find it odd that only Google Play gets throttled, and not all the time either. I even tried installing the Mi App Store separately, but unfortunately it won't even launch on my phone.
So can we assume that there is some sort of redirect in the phone somewhere for just the Play Store? Or is the Play Store picking up our locale and redirecting itself?
Just trying to get some more info to track this down, I hope nothing else is being routed through Chinese servers.

So I finally installed the EU Stable rom. Got rooted, disabled everything Xiaomi related, nothing in my running tasks is different from standard android.
Google Play is still being throttled to around 500K/s. But not all the time..
Could this be something on Googles end? Is there any sort of network monitor that might show it using some sort of proxy? Nothing else on the phone is slow, just the Play Store...

It's never googles end. freeze the download manager or disable it from apps, long time since I used xiaomi, thats about to change.

I tried this too, Didn't seem to work either, the older DownloadProviders may not be compatible with MIUI 8...
http://en.miui.com/thread-326830-1-1.html

Google play is slow also in my country between 16:00 GMT up to 01:00
I have tried it on many different phones it is the same, my connection speed is avereged at 50 Mbs d/l, so your phone is ok don't panic

It's starting to look like the issue is in the DownloadProvider.apk. It sounds like people with the EU Dev rom don't have this issue.
If someone on the EU Dev rom could post their DownloadProvider.apk that would be awesome. /system/priv-app/DownloadProvider is the location...

Google Assistant

I had the google assistant the other day and now its gone again, anyone's else had this?
I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.

For now, google assistant is not avaible everywhere, because it was made especially for google pixel, so maybe there was an update for your phone, but you disabled Google Assistant, try checking your Google settings on phone, if everything is as it should be.

Try installing the latest beta version of Google play services.

I installed version 10.5.37 beta and Google assistant activated. I'm from the Philippines so I'm not supposed to receive it yet.

Change your phones language to English US. Then clear Play Services and Google app cache.
Assistant should appear after a restart and a few minutes.

It's re-appeared again now let's hope it stays
