[Q] Google Maps Installing Problem

About 2-3 weeks ago I went into the Android Market to do an update on the google maps. I clicked install and left the phone to do its thing.
I only noticed yesterday that the Google Maps update is still showing as installing (3 weeks later)
It won't let me stop the install or do anything with it. I think this is affecting other issues I had downloading other apps as they are also saying installing but nothing is happening. I can stop them but I can't stop the Google Maps update.
Can anyone tell me how I can stop this install!

Google Play Services update

So I updated my Google Play services to 8.1 but I had package disabler (which is now turned off) running on my phone which problem is the culprit. But after updating my phone started heating up, freezing constantly and giving all kinds of google play update errors.
I thought, great I will just uninstall the update and everything will be fixed. Well uninstall and force stop are both greyed out. So I went to the device admin and turned off Android Device Manager but, it just turns right back on and greys out if I restart my phone it goes back to normal but then when I try to disable it does the same thing. I have tried with Android Device Manager both installed and uninstalled same issues.
So I can't disable Android Device Manager, I can't uninstall Google Play Services update... anyone have any ideas short of factory reset?
Thanks in advance...

App installation (from Playstore) causes multiple OS services to crash :(

I've been running Lineage 13 for 6 months, but the phone mysteriously got into a boot loop yesterday, so I had clear the local data and re-install the apps from the Playstore
However I found that every time I installed the nRFToolbox app (by Nordic Semiconductors) (Who are a reputable company), that when the App installed, it crashed a load of internal OS services e.g. PlayServices and all sorts of Google services.
If I rebooted the phone it appeared to work OK, but if I went into the "Apps" in Settings, the phone hung again, and I had to reboot it.
I tried updating to the latest unofficial Lineage 13, but that didnt help, so I've now installed the official Lineage 14, and this seems to have solved the problem.
But I don't quite see how a single app can kill so many core services, and I prefer to stay on Android 6 (Lineage 13), because of XPosed and specifically XPrivacy.
(BTW. I know XPosed is now supposed to work on Android 7, but I didnt think XPrivacy will every get ported to work with the updated version of Xposed - at least according to the developer)
Does anyone have any insight into why this app can hang the phone

I don't know, why this APP makes your phone crash, but i had similar problems when installing greenifys latest app and two days ago, i updated some apps ending in bootloops.... I am using unofficial Lineage 13 with xposed and xprivacy too

I run stock OS but have this same issue when updating any big and heavy apps such as Snapchat, Google app and FB Messenger for the past 6 months at least. The app starts to update but then will crash in the installing phase often giving an error such as "503 can't be updated", at which point multiple Google services will crash endlessly the only way to stop the crash is hold down power to force the phone to reboot.
I have reset the phone several times but after setting up the phone and updating all the apps the first update to one of those apps the issue happens again (the app always installs from scratch ok it's only it's updates that cause it)
A sort of fix I have been using (because it doesn't 100% always work) is when you see an update for the app you know will cause the crash first update all the other apps manually leaving only the problem app, then close all apps go to Settings > Storage & USB > Internal storage and clear the Cached data, then power cycle the phone, let the phone boot and complete all it's background tasks it does after booting, then open Play Store and click Update on the offending app then put the phone down and leave it until the app either updates or causes the crashes. If this doesn't work then waiting 24 hours and doing the same steps seems to work.
I am certain it comes from either an app update (probably from Play services or the Play Store app) or maybe from having the phone encrypted which does make the phone run slower especially over time. (May or may not be related but I've noticed on my phone if I factory reset it then after setting it up and updating all the apps I try to encrypt the phone the phone will 'break' and will boot loop forcing a reset from the boot loader, however if I set up the phone, don't update any apps then encrypt it completes successfully, all the apps will then update ok and the phone then functions as you would expect)
All in all this issue is incredibly frustrating!

Google Apps constantly stop working/ Cellphone often crashing

I have been experiencing a problem with my X4 lately. Suddenly, Google Apps such as Youtube, Google Chrome, Youtube Music, Play Store, even GMAIL started to crash. Out of the blue, they just close, sometimes they close and report that "app x stopped working", and often "Google Play Services stopped working" and this pretty much makes the cellphone unusable, the apps won't open anymore, not even a reboot would solve it. Sometimes apps as Facebook, Instagram, the Native Camera, even SETTINGS will crash. Following this crashes, sometimes the cellphone will just shut off the display and crash, only coming back after a forced reboot (BUT, as strange as it may seem, the long press on the power button works just fine and the display wakes but only showing shut off and reboot options).
I was experiencing this problem with the stock Android 9 ROM. I then removed my google account, wiped it, did a factory reset for a couple times, did not work. I flashed the stock ROM, but the problems only got worse. Then i flashed the Pixel Experience w/ Android 10 using the latest TWRP, same problems happened, with a clean installation, wiped everything. I used it for a couple of months, but the crashes were just increasing over time.
I then installed the Lineage OS 18.1 on Android 11 on my X4; Same thing, clean installation, wiped everything, removed all Google Accounts, flashed the latest GAPPS. Boy oh boy, it was smooth like butter on the beginning (i recommend this ROM very much), one week goes by and the same crashes come back again, every once in a while. I just can't figure what could be causing the crashes, same issues with 4 different roms!
If anyone please has experienced this or know how could i fix it, it would help me very much. Thank y'all for your attention.
Next time it happens i will try and take a screenshot to post here.

Did you ever get a solution to this? I am having the same issue.

Google Play Services acting weird

hello guys,
my OP3T did serve me very well over the last couple years but now im facing some strange behaviours. im running android 11 via ArrowOS in the latest version.
so one day i randomly got a text saying that im about to reach my data limit which is weird, as i barely do anything with my device. i checked the setting and found out that my device downloaded almost 5 GB of a system update i was not aware of or even could find any info about (pic 1 + 2 + A). adding to that another 15 GB when hooked on the wifi. (pic 3),
although pic 7 shows the app having ACTUALLY downloaded only around 200 MB.
through the battery stats i found out that google play services appeard to be active 24/7 and sucking the battery dry, literally >> 99% ????
i cleared the cache of google play services already but completely deactivating is not an option as its linked to every other app there is.
any help you guys could offer? if possible without resetting the device or reflashing.
thx

I normally keep Google play Services disable unless I need it for Gmail or Playstore.
It's a trouble maker.
Google backup Transport runs as a dependency of it as well, that may be your culprit.
Since Pie Google Android has mutated into a even more fat big sister of a hog. Who needs that?!

i tried that but my phone keeps constantly buzzing then as it finds more and more apps that stopped working and i get notification after notification.
