Is anyone having issues with google services? I can't connect to the Play store, gmail, anything, this just started about an hour ago
I don't know if you're still having problems, but it appears to be working here on the Central Coast.
Thanks, it's working here again too
I have been reading about Google play and different issues with Google services. I will be receiving the phone tomorrow. Google voice (for the voice-mail and transcribed messages) and Gmail are the only 2 apps from google I care about. Anyone have Google Voice working ?
If so how did you enable it.
Thanks!!
It works ok with play services uninstalled. It never was totally reliable though. About 60% of the time it works, the rest of my calls just go out through the cell provider directly. Also you have to keep it open either manually or with an app as it closes down after a while. On my last android phone it worked at least 90% and it didn't have to be watched constantly.
If you rely on anything google, I would just forget this phone though. It is nearly 2 weeks since the play services update and no word or update from google. Without constant fiddling, my gmail, hangouts, and play store are always broken.
Depends
Depends on your setup. If you are using Gvoice with hangouts, be prepared to be frustrated! If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it will work after a few tries.
Hangouts:
Had it working fine with play services 7.0.9 and Fire OS 3.6.8. I did the manual update to 4.6.1 and it all went to hell.. I gained a bunch of functionality but because I use Gvoice integrated in Hangouts I am constantly having issues. Issues ranging from play services updating all the time and causing notifications, sync and reply to all not work, making it useless.
If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it took me a few tires to get outgoing calls to route through Gvoice.. Download and install the Gvoice app, set it for the call settings you want. I had to do this a couple times before those settings stuck.
Until the play services are fixed this is going to be frustrating. I don't see an end in sight right now seeing as it has been this long and I see no official talk about it.

Well the problem here will be that play services is causing us a lot of problems since the update. Other than that I can't imagine it being a problem. I don't install the Google voice app anymore since I forward the calls and Hangouts does work to make calls from voice number. I can vouch for that.
I got the phone, was able to get google voice installed (had to remove the store afterwards) But it will only show new messages when I open the app, there are no notification.
Is it possible to get notifications ?
Working !!!
Had to re-associate phone with Google voice and then notifications would pop up

So, I got the new 4.6.1 update, and I've installed all the Google Play apks. Things seem to be working fine overall. However, I can't seem to get location services to act right. I had Location Services and Enhanced Location Services turned on with only a select few apps turned on to utilize those services. However, every time I go back to make sure everything is working properly, all of the apps are turned back on. I specifically chose to only allow certain apps that I know need those services (maps, weather, etc.) in order to save battery life. My suspicion is that Google Play Services keeps turning everything back on. This wasn't happening before I installed Google Play Store/Services. Granted, this could also be the result of the new 4.6.1 update, but I'm thinking that this is more of a Google Play Services issue. Now I have to choose between having location services on altogether or off altogether which is less than ideal.
Anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to get Google Play Services to stop messing with things on my phone? I'll uninstall the Google Play Store/Services if I have to , but I'm trying to determine if there is a less extreme way out of this.
So, I may have at least partially answered my own question. The last time I tried to get location services preferences to stick, I had still allowed Google Play Services and Play Store to access it. Well, this time I turned both of those off. Now my location services preferences appear to be holding. The only exception seems to be when I reboot my phone. Then everything goes back to being on which is annoying, but this is acceptable for now. I don't reboot my phone very often. So, as long as my location preferences stay otherwise locked in then I think I'm okay. I'll update if anything changes.
I'm not sure what's going on now. The location services for all of the apps turned back on without my having rebooted my phone. If anyone wants to chime in with suggestions or theories, feel free to do so, because I'm honestly not sure how to stop this from happening short of just uninstalling the Google Play Store/Services.
Has anyone been getting errors with your apps saying " * has stopped unexpectedly"? YouTube, Google Play service and about 3 or 4 more. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens enough.
Anyone else?
I'm having problems with google play services not launching. I've tried uninstalling any updates and that causes a crash. I'm wondering if there is a way to update or anything without bing able to log into google.
