Hi,
I have Android 6.0.1 on my Samsung S5 Neo (sm-903F) and for few days now, Google play stucks while downloading or installing apps.
Moreover, some apps like call recorder stopped to record any call.
I initialize my phone (so back to factory setting - hard reset) and at this time the same app (call recorder pro) works perfectly.
I found that immediately after hard reset android 6.0.1 launched a couple f system updates and if these updates do no stop/hand applications.
For example Google play is 6.8 after hard reset and once updates are installed, it is version 8.5 AFAIK
I would like to understand what makes google play stucks and why working apps (for several years now) stopped to work (like call recorder pro) without any reason.
Is there a rom i could try ? AFAIK nougat is not available for SM-903F.
Maybe a google tool update could help.
thx

Hello,
I just upgraded from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop 5.0.1 via Kies. The phone was rooted and became unrooted, of course. Everything went fine with the upgrade and re-rooting after some trouble shooting.
However, I noticed, that after auto-update of Google Play services, that those would always stop working after reboot. Before that update, everything was fine. So I did a factory reset, and even flashed the unrooted version again, but this did not help for long since Google Play services would start crashing again after the next update.
My Lolipop 5.0.1 version is I9505XXUHOB7, the working stock version of Google Play services is 6.5.something, while the version that I got via auto-update is the newest 7.0.99. After some backup restoring and factory resetting I finally figured out that I could revert Google Play services to stock version after removing the device admin setting, and flash any version from apkmirror.com. Now I know that all versions of Google Play services above 7.x and newer definitely *will* crash on my S4 with the new Lollipop.
Does anybody know about this? As I wrote, this happens on a clean unrooted install after factory reset as well. The last working version of Google Play services for me is com.google.android.gms-6.7.76_(1745988-438)-6776438-minAPI21. Older versions will not crash, but I will keep messages that Maps, Gmail or such things require a newer version. Now I am wondering which update of those apps will break my phone again...
Google will automatically restore settings related to your device when you sign in to your Google Play account, thus a factory reset does nothing here. You need to wipe Google Play Services' data, preferably after the update to the latest version. Then reboot and see if anything changes.
Thx for the reply, but I when the phone asks, I always deny to store anything on Google servers. I have my own backups. And, it worked with the initial install and only stopped working after the Google Play services update. Would that not mean that every user must be affected? I read a lot that Google Play services stop working recently, but no apparent explanation.
Edit: I just noticed that, without me doing anything, Google Play services got auto-updated to the faulty new version again, crashing again. Very annoying. I tried the solution with deleting all data, but that helped noting. I reverted to the last functioning version manually.
Is there a way to prevent this auto-update?
Just had a chat with Samsung Support (there seems to be no way to officially address this issue with Google directly). They were not aware of the problem until now and walked me through a couple of steps. Unfortunatelly, nothing helped. They promised to address the issue to Samsung development. Hope this helps, but small hope it is...
I have a YU Yureka running Android 5.1.1 ( cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO338-tomato.zip build) with TWRP Recovery (V 2.8.6.0) and OpenGApps (open_gapps-arm64-5.1-micro-20151102.zip build).
A couple of days back I got a notification saying that I have a OTA update to my ROM (cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-tomato.zip build). After i gave it the command, it automatically downloaded and installed my update (Just like CM Updater). However, when my phone rebooted, instead the Google Now Launcher, it reverted back to Trebuchet. When I tried to install the launcher, i found that my Play Store was missing. I went to the home area (not the app list) and tapped on the Google Search Bar(which remained intact) to check for solutions when i got a message saying Google Play Services is incompatible with your device. Contact Device manufacturer for help.
I tried to boot to recovery and flash the Open GApps zip file (the same as aforementioned) but it did not flash and it gave me Error Code : 30. In the end, I formatted my device and reverted to my previous CM build.
Please help. I need to know whether i can update my phone's software without having this issue.
Does anybody else have this problem????
Yes me too ! The Google Play Services demands update as half the apps are not working and ehen updated, the 'Play Services unfortunately stops' . The pop up irritating msg does not allow to proceed with any action till the update is uninstalled ! What damn irritating ! Can anybody help !
Hi,
I have Note 3 SM-N9005 International Qualcomm.
Long ago my phone has updated to Android Lolipop 5.0 (from KitKat 4.4) - OTA update with stock
Used my phone for year and a half, and few weeks ago phone gets lag from time to time.
I decide to go to FACTORY RESET (firstly try backup and reset). All go well. Phone goes like new. No lag. Good performance
BUT: one thing, one little error broke my all google apps
When android goes to automatically update google apps like GMAIL, Google Now(google), hangouts, maps and many others, system says that first have to update google play services and then this ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
I try to reset phone without backup. Same thing
Then I go very angry and decide to read more about custom ROMS and how they install
I installed TWRP 2.8.4 first. Then I download AryaMod V8.3 TW Lollipop Official BOJ6 and follow all steps to intallation (A) : Coming from any official TW 5.0
All installation goes well and the ROM work perfect.
There is no hangouts app(I know that is old and bla bla), gmail work properly, but google(now) and other software (like STRAVA) wants to update and still wants google play services to update first. AND SAME ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
Tried to go application manager> google play store> uninstall updates
application manager>google play services> clear cache
remove google account and re-login
same error !!!
PLEASE HELP
and sorry for my ENGLISH

Hi !
I have the same problem as OP. I was on AryMod MM 6.0 v6 but GPS was a little problematic so I decided to go back to a stock rom. After a successful restore I couldn't access my google apps after update. I tried another stock firmware but got the same results. Older apks with .438 install correctly but the problem persists. I tried installing the latest apk from apkmirror but I get an error.
There are 27 variants of app on apkmirror, which one to download for n9005?

Hello, I have my j500fn (GALAXY J5 2015) rooted, I installed several ROMs of this web and xdevelopers, without any problem, but from good to first, I constantly get the message "google has stopped". I have used all possible options, erase data, cache, etc, restart, and it works for me until the play is updated. The only way to use it is to uninstall the play updates, but as soon as it updates it stops working. The most surprising thing is that I have made completely clean installations, several ROMs, and even the official ROM that the factory mobile brings, without rooting, (as if it were fresh out of the store) and it keeps happening.
PLEASE KNOW SOMEONE THAT I CAN DO TO YOU ??

OEM lock is off.
Have you tried getting the updated version and sideloading it?
