Hey all,
my question is in the topic... the distance in google maps/navigation is in miles, while i'd like it to be in kilometers.
I am running rooted generic ROM, version 2.2
Tried both google maps and google maps [brut], same result.
Any idea?
I have been happily running google services on my phone (fireos 3.6.8). However, Google released an update to Play Services (version 7.3) yesterday (4/15/2015), which crashes. Has anyone else started getting popups saying "Google Play Services has stopped" constantly? Does anyone have a workaround or does anyone know of a way to keep Play Services from updating automatically? I am able to reinstall 7.0.99, which works, but the app immediately downloads the update and installs itself automatically.
I am having the same problem. Installed the previous version but was automatically updated.
I'm also having the same problem and would like to find a workaround or a temp stop too keep these messages from popping up. It makes the phone nearly unusable.
works okay on 4.6.1
I had the same problem, suddenly play services was crashing continually. Just updated to FireOS 4.6.1, and google play services is no longer causing trouble. On the other hand, Google Play Store just hangs. I can downgrade to an older version that works, but it keeps automatically updating. So pick your poison: On 3.6.8 the services will crash, and on 4.6.1 the store will crash. I think the services crash was worse.
No troubles here with newest Services or Store on 4.6.1.
Thanks. I updated to 4.6.1 and everything is much better.

Try deleting all Google services,play store,account manager and framework and reinstall
Also noticed google play store wont load after update
Also Clash of Clans refused to open. Uninstalled everything google, and now clash opens but wont sync to my google+ account because I cant get google services to actually open, so I've lost all my progress.
All in all, happy its not giving me the stopped working message but irritated google services is acting so crazy. Also cant get gmail to open because of all this.

If you uninstall and go back to the older version of google play services, none of the google apps will run. They REQUIRE the danged update.
Lots of folks using many different phones are having issues with the latest version of Google Services. Might not just be the Fire phone having issues then. My services is still 7.0.99 even after updating the OS. Play store still reports that's the latest version for me so maybe they froze the update. I think I may set that file to read only until this is sorted out.
after using my phone with the updated OS for a few days now, I've also experienced some more issues. some apps don't open or stall on opening such as Redfin and some open, but don't seem to work such as Pandora (opens, but music won't load).
anyone else?

Same thing here. I uninstalled play store and installed older version 4.1.10. I can then open up the store and update applications, but the next time I open Google auto updates (despite settings not to) it to the latest version that just spins on a white screen. At least this is a work around to keep other apps updated while we wait for a fix.
It looks like Google Play Services 7.3.29 was just released this morning. I have fireos 4.6.1 installed, my play services auto updated, and Play Store and Gmail now appear to work without hanging! Google hangouts still does not let me send messages.
Well, I spoke too soon. Play Store and Gmail open, but they don't refresh properly. That's frustrating.
I am not very technical, I did manage to sideload the play store with someone from this forum's easy to follow directions a few months back. That being said today I am having the issue with google services crashing non stop, can't load gmail and this phone is virtually useless because I have to keep replying 'ok' to the crash...
I'm on 3.6.8 and it says I'm up to date, no new updates to download ... how can I get the newer version of 4.6.1 so I can solve this crashing issue? I'd appreciate it if someone has easy to follow directions for the somewhat technically challenged... (me!)
I'm running it with T-Mobile's network and I'm in the USA.
I don't know what version google play services I use (or how to check for that matter).
Thanks!!

Updating wont help the google play store not working at lest for long.
same issue. don't see fire os update
Google play services crashing even after multiple uninstalls and updates. I don't see the fire OS update available for me yet, still showing 3.6.8 as the latest. Any ideas to try?

thanks! Are you saying that even if I updated to the latest Fire OS I'd still get these 'Google play services has stopped' errors constantly? Also do you know if Google play store is having issues with other phones and OS's and if they are working on a fix? (it's so annoying.. can't get to gmail and the error is constant)... thanks everyone!
not just us

go look at google play services on the google play store. Everyone is having problems and giving it 1 star (including me). Multiple phones are having the issue:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
OK, I've been playing around with different combinations of Google apps and Play Services. My phone is the unlocked 32 GB version with the AT&T update installed. In order to get everything going, I reverted the Play Services back to 7.0.97. Now my Maps, GMail, Hangouts, Google Now, etc. all are working for me. Until it updates.
http://www.apk4fun.com/apk/43197/ - I can't vouch for this website BTW.
Just note that the first time I ran Google Settings it hung for about 30 seconds before coming up.
I haven't been able to get the Google Play Services to stick to the an old version. It will generally update itself to the latest version, breaking everything again.
That said, this workaround works until Google Play Services updates itself.

Hmm, I haven't seen that happen yet. I was running older versions of Play Services and Maps, which doesn't auto update (it asks you though). Might be one possible workaround, but it doesn't support Hangouts.
Edit: Spoke too soon, it updated and broke.
It seem that if I don't install the Play Store, Play Services won't update on its own. So I guess I can sideload apps for now.
I installed google with no issues on 4.6.1 att update. Some apps didnt function , such as google keyboard(the keyboard was offscreen)
Here are the apks, that I used to get google play working.
My wife have updated the phone to 10.0.0.185 and got some issues with loading apps related to Google.
Example:
- Google photos won't load/keeps loading
- Google drive won't load/keeps loading
- YouTube won't load/keeps loading
- Google Play sometimes not work correctly
- Backup WhatsApp via Google Drive won't work.
- Sometimes issue with WiFi/mobile internet
It seems I got issue with all Google products..
Someone got these issues?
Kind regards
I don't have these issues on mine. Can't verify the WhatsAppp issue since I don't use this app. The only google issue I have is that I am unable to use Google Assistant via OK google or Hey Google since I can't activate voice match.
I suggest you try to do a Factory Reset.

Sent from my HUAWEI EVR-AL00 using XDA Labs
I used to have the same issues after doing a factory reset. Before factory reset, everything worked on EMUI 10. I'm on TL00. Now I'm back on 9.0.0.200.
I have the exact same problems - haven't tried factory reset yet. Seems that some (mostly Google) services cannot reach their servers, or only on mobile data, not on wifi...
I'll probably try the factory reset later today...
SOLVED
OK, I've done a factory reset, restored my backup and it seems to have worked - at least Photos seem to be uploading.
Have .APKs ready for Google Play Store, Chrome, things like SwiftKey keyboard...
EDIT: Yep, everything's working fine after factory reset.
Have you managed to solve this? I'm on 10.0.0.148 and I'm experiencing exact same issues. The phone came preinstalled with Android Pie and I had Google Play Store installed via GMS Installer 1.2.
I have upgraded to Android 10 and received build 10.0.0.188 and this rendered Play Store unusable. The app stopped to initialize. I couldn't login into my Google account anymore, and Play Store started to show that it is being installing some update.
I did a full reset, and everything gone wild. I noticed that if I install Google Play Store APK, some Google apps like Google GMail, Google Maps, Google Drive and Google Photos begin to work. I can even open Google profile properties from within these apps.
However, Google Books never works, it shows whore screen after being started indicating that it cannot connect to Google Servers. Also, news feed in Google Chrome works until you enable bookmark synchronization. Once you do that, the feed disappears and Chrome begins to indicate it will gonna show the news sometime later. Of course, this later time never comes.
At the same time, if you open Google account synchronization settings, you'll notice Chrome synchronization indicates that it works, however GMail and Contacts fall to synchronize.
Also Contracts are listed twice in synchronization status as if there were two Contacts apps on the phone. I only have Huawei contacts, I did no install Google Contacts.
If I install Google Contacts, or Google Framework Services, or Google Play Services, or Google Books, then immediately after installing these apps Google contact synchronization brakes. All Google apps stop seeing internet connection. Opening profile shows the phone is offline. Also, if I logout from Google account, I'm never able to login any of the Google app into the account. None of the apps is able to connect to Google contact services anymore. I even tried to install Google Contact Sync APK, but this didn't help. Nothing but reset helps.
Do I have to revert to PIE to make Google Services sync work?
Howdy,
I've got a AL-00, and it has built-in Google Play Services version 20.04.14 (120408-294335909). I've grabbed an APK of Google Play Market version 16.2.25-all [0] [PR] 263465627 from ApkMirror. That's a 32-bit universal architecture image listed as armeabi + armeabi-v7a + mips + mips64 + x86 + x86_64.
I know, that's quite an old version, but it the only I've tried that worked stable. For some reason, all other packages that I've tried over at ApkMirror were classified by package installer as not having passed verification in Huawei Appgallery. Could it be that these packages were tampered with? Or does it only mean that their checksums (or root root certificate?) were not present in ApkGallery?
My internet and my cell provider are having problems with Google services. If I open Google.com from any of my devices, Google.com raises CAPTCHA test which I have to pass before I'm able to access Google search.
All Google apps that I've installed by using the Google Play Store that was installed from the APK dl'ed from ApkMirror are having problems connecting to Google Services. Some apps like Google Pay are having problems to start, others, like Google Chrome or Google Maps are having issues with synchronization of my Google account. If I open account profile, from any of the Google apps, I get the cloud icon shown indicating that Google services or servers are not reachable.
However. These connectivity issues I only experience when connecting though one specific mobile provider. If I route the Huawei EVR-AL00 phone via shared connection from another cellular provider, I can open Google.com in the browser without having to solve CAPTCHAsl tests, and I don't experience connectivity and synchronization issues with Google apps on Huawei EVR-AL00.
So far I see it so I could've solved my synchronization issues by simply switching from my current cell provider that get filtered by Google to another one. Meanwhile, it looks like I could've stayed with my current blacklisted provider if I could find a proper untouched APK of Google Play Store that fully matches version of Google Play Services shipped with EVR-AL00. Where do I get the properly signed APK of Google Play Store with version and architecture matching those used in built-in Google Play Services and Google Services Framework?
Why do I feel that using non-genuine Google Play Store may be the root cause? If I use one of my non-Huawei phones and connect through this my blacklisted provider, I DON'T EVER get a CAPTCHA from Google if I type search requests right in the Chrome address bar without opening Google.com first. Quite the contrary, if I open Google.com first, I ALWAYS get CAPTCHA test from Google before I can do my searches. It looks like requests sent from the Google device (that's a device with a clean Android) are somehow signed by Google components before they get sent to Google.
Since I'm using non-genuine Google Pay Store (installed from unsigned? self-signed? APK), I suppose that Google treats every connection request
to Google servers issues from my Huawei EVR-AL00 phone as untrusted. That renders my Google apps to fail to connect and as a result I get account synchronization issues.
I expect if I could a proper signed Google Play Store APK that matches Google Play Services shipped with the Huawei phone, this would've solved connectivity issues and fix sync problems for me.
Thank you in advance.
But can you still ude playstore in L29 version?
