Google Play Store Issues - No Connection

All,
I had some issues with the Google Play Store force closing upon opening.. So i went ahead and un-installed all 4 apk's and re-installed them manually.
Now i get the No Connection Error after i enter my google credentials. I ve done this twice already, cleared cache but still no luck. What am i missing here
guys ?
I am using the v4.6.17 PlayStore, is there a latest version that works with Fire TV.

I know it says a different version then what I listed, but that is what I installed. Maybe it updates, not sure.
I am getting it's number from the Settings -> Apps listing. Check yours, see if it's the same.
Can't explain the number difference, seeing as I don't have any other google apk's any where else, so I know for sure I installed those from that how to.

I have the same pbl with play store. Pls guys I need a permanent fix for this error. I have already cleared the cache and data but its not working. I am using the latest version of playstore
5.0.32. Pls I need a solution for this...
Thnx in advance

Did you install the Xposed Installer? Pretty sure that is needed for the google store to work. Otherwise, sorry, don't know why you wouldn't be connecting.

Drove me crazy.. but i still haven't figured what the prob was.. but i un-installed and installed the play store (manually via adb) couple of times and it worked

Don't you love it when stuff does that?

Great discussion. Thank you all for your efforts. My problem is I can't get past the log in screen it says the account on this "phone" all ready exists??? Not sure how I can clear the cube other than a total factory reset. Rather not.

[Q] Installing Google Play Store

I received a version of the zenfone 2 ZE551ML without the google play store. Can someone help me figure out how to install it?

From where did you buy it? Does your phone have other google apps like gmail, g+, google maps etc?
You can download the latest playstore (Version 5.4.12) from the attachment provided below..Transfer it to the phone and enable unknown sources...Install apk normally..
The apk/file provided by @a76vna is google installer...It will help you download all the apps made by google (Only google apps ; No third party apps can be downloaded from it)\
Please tell us how did it brick..Is it stuck on bootloop??...You can revive the phone by downloading and flashing the stock rom from official Asus website...

Sorry for the short post.
The phone was stuck in a boot loop. It would show the ASUS logo, then the spinning wheel.
Turns out the problem was that I was trying to flash the .11 version of the pre root image instead of the .13
Flashing the .13 version fixed the boot loop and also installed all the google apps! So both problems are solved now.

I was able to install all the gapps using this method.
I found the google installer for the miui and than it worked flawlessly.

Any changes you know where I can get the correct Google Play Services for the zenfone 2? I tried all sorts different version and nothing works. Every time I install it I just keep getting the message "Unfortunately google play store has stopped". I tried all sorts of different things to get it to work but its still not working. Right now I have it uninstalled by factory data resetting the phone. I downloaded the attachment you had and every time I open it it just close back and no errors. If anyone has any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Will do. Some of you might already know this trick but ill tell you what I did. You need to uninstall google play store and google play services I could not do it from the phones options so I had to factory data reset my phone. To do so go to settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset Note : This will erase all your data on your phone. I did not back up my data or turn on any of the options in the backup & reset. Ones you are done with the factory data reset check if you any google apps installed on the phone. If you do then try to find a way to uninstall them I don't know how. If you don't have them installed then go to settings > security > tun on unknown sources. Then go to your browser on the phone and go to m.app.mi.com then click on the green button at the top right hand side it will start downing Xiaomi market. When you have the app installed on to your phone open it and search google. You should get a button that says "search other markets" if you do click it. You need to find the right now I can't post pics so do a search for Xiaomi google installer in google images and you see it . This should install google installer, ones its done installing open google installer and install google play store you should know and see the icon for it. You will get a prompt saying install google services framework click ok. Then you should see "Google Services Framework" ,"Google Account Manager" , and two different google play icons. On the bottom there is a install all button click it. You will get another prompt just click continue and just keep hitting next and install ones you get prompted. That it you should have everything working now hope that helps.
PS: I know this is a long away to do it. You can just download for the 4 apps and transferring them to your phone internal drive and installing them. You could do that but that's not what I did.

[Help] Updated to 9.5.2.0 - Google keeps on crashing

So I got my Mix 2 for a while now, it's not rooted.
An update notification popped up 2 days ago and I decided to update today.
Since the update, I get pop ups "Google has crashed", "Google keeps crashing", "Google Play Services crashed" etc.
As I said, my phone isn't rooted.
Is there anything I can do without going through restore and stuff like that?
Thanks !

By the sounds of it, you have a chinese version, that must have had an unlocked bootloader and you must have been running Oreo beta to be able to get that update.
If you have the MIUI forum app, check it out, because people with the chinese 9.5.2.0 are having google problems.
I think the only way of fixing this is to flash the Global rom, or wait until they fix the chinese rom. Check out the MIUI forum app though, you might find help on there.
Good luck pal

Google Assistant force closes constantly. Still getting the "Google Services has stopped" message infrequently but everything else seems to work. I hope they fix it soon because the Oreo update has no extra Chinese bloatware any longer.

If you're using the China rom on Oreo it applies to you.
As you're installing each Google app it should ask you if you want to allow unknown sources.

The Mix 2s is virtually identical to the Mix 2 so it will work. This is a software issue with the MIUI China Oreo rom and applies to all Xiaomi phones since they all run the same basic software.
Read through that thread from the beginning and you'll find where someone solved his parse error. One solution is to uninstall all the Google apps and download the latest versions from Apkmirror or the Xiaomi forum.

Google Apps problem on China Oreo Rom Solution

I've stayed on the China rom since I bought my phone and everything was fine with the Google apps until the update to Oreo 9.5.2. Problems encountered were constant crashing and popups, battery drain and Google Assistant stopped working. Here's how I solved the issues:
1) Go to this link and install the updated Google apps for Oreo http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
2) I tried several Assistant apps on the play store but all crash immediately just like Google Assistant. So I've switched to Cortana (until Xiaomi fix the bug) and it works perfectly.
Hope this helps anyone that decided to stay on the China rom like me.
P.S. Before anyone asks. No, I don't want the Global rom or a custom rom. No I don't want to flash, mod, magisk or anything else. Just posting a tip. Thanks.

Bump, I also have the problem and it's fustrated to know my Google assistant and Google app not working.

I tried to solve it with this solution, but still have the problems.
Also 4/6 apps it didnt install, because I have a newer version.
Are there any other solutions?

Uninstall your other Google apps and install these. Make sure you follow the instructions exactly. Install but don't open and make sure you use the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Reboot your device and log back into Google. You also have to enable all the permissions, autostart, background, don't kill, no restrictions etc just like a regular app since they're not treated like a system apps by MIUI. If Google Play Services starts draining the battery just force stop it. Opening any other Google app will restart it in normal mode.
All this works for me so far and I'm also getting about an extra hour of battery life along with the major ram management improvements on Oreo.

Another thing. If Google Play Services is causing battery drain, disable Modify System Settings in permissions. I've been getting the battery drain issue once in a while and found a possible solution in the Oneplus forums. So far it seems to be working.

Here's the solution to the Google app problem. Google Assistant won't show up as the default Voice Assistant so you'll have to just use voice on the normal app.

Make sure you uninstalled your original Google Account Manager and then try again. If that doesn't work uninstall everything and try this method:

I only added the Google Partner Setup apk from that link to mine and disabled Modify System Settings in permissions and everything seems ok so far. You can also try force stopping Google Play Services and opening the Play Store. That worked for me too but it doesn't solve all the problems.
I'm presuming you followed the original instructions to the letter and installed the apps in order without opening anything and then rebooting?

I've installed all gapps through Xiaomi store. Eveything is working now. Let's see if the battery drain problem is still there tomorrow.
Before my clock also didnt work, but today it works suddenly......

Good to hear. Disabling the Modify System Settings permission solved my battery drain issue. Everything works so I'm not exactly sure what that permission does.

I got parse error when tried to install the google account manager. Not sure how you guys solved the issue?

I was getting the parse error when trying to install the Google Account Manager as well (and yes, I have uninstalled everything else Google related).
I follow the installation guide here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
But the thing is the Miui 9 now needs to give permission to install 3rd party apps for each app, but I do set it up that the Mi File Manager has the right to do that but same thing, still has that Parse error when trying to install the Google Account Manager.
I don't see Xiaomi store has GApps anymore, where did you get it from?

I really don't understand why you're not able to install it successfully. Try uninstalling everything again and follow this method exactly http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
Make sure you install only the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Don't open anything until you have rebooted.
This is the one I used and only added Google Partner Setup from the other method whilst disabling Modify System Settings in the permissions for Google Services Framework.

Thank you twotems; do you remember when you download the zip file, which server you chose? I want to make sure the file is intact after i downloaded it. But to be honest, I don't think the file is corrupted or anything.

I just chose the first one that came up. But if you're suspecting the files are corrupted just download the updated versions directly from Apkmirror.

I downloaded a newer version of google account manager and successfully installed it, i will see whether i can install the rest of the component. I will let you know.

Hi guys, does any of you have this issue with Google Play services automatically update to version 12.2.21 and then puts Google play store in a loop displaying the message "Authentication is required. You need to sign in your Google account" even though I am signed in and press the retry button. I can confirm previous versions of Google play services do not cause this issue, but there is no way to stop the damn thing from automatic updating, even though the app store has autoupdate off.
I tried removing the account and adding it back. Tested with another Google account and same issue.

I had the same issue when I updated to Oreo. Try and Force stop Google Play Services and deny it permission to Modify System Settings. The Force Stop will allow you to access the Play Store temporarily and for some reason denying permission to Modify System Settings permanently solves the battery drain and Play Store issue. I have no idea why but someone posted it on the OnePlus forums and it works.

Kind sir, the solution you offered works. If you can, please thank the user that discovered this workaround.

Google Pay Issue

Google pay is no longer working for me on DP3. Not sure what happened. I've never unlocked the bootloader once on this phone. I didn't even check the option to allow bootloader unlock. But I have run ADB commands for navigation gestures. So today I decided to just factory reset and try to get Google pay working again...right after reset I still get the same error. I'm lost now. Factory reset should have also reset any ADB commands I ran...if those were the issue. I also ran a safety net check and failed. Mind boggling. Anyone know what's up?
Pictures attached.

Happened to me yesterday after factory resetting DP3. Just clear Data and Cache on Google Play Services and Google Play Store, reboot and make sure your device is shown as "Certified" in Play Store settings. Safetynet should pass and Google Pay work normally

It's so nice to have Google pay at my side again ?
Lol

I tried this, but when I checked if it was certified, there wasn't anything there. It just ended with the Play Store version.
Also, after I did a factory reset, I have to re-verify they cards. Why??

Just give it a few minutes. Check the certification status later and you should see where it says Certified once again. You shouldn't have to reset again.

I will check in a few hours to see...
If I had already verified my debit card with my bank, why would I need to re-verify the card since I did a factory reset???

Security. It's better to be too secure than not secure enough.

Thanks a million!! I decided to do a wipe of DP3 and was stuck with this nagging issue for the past few days.
I ended rolling back and forth, wiping, formating...you name it, I've done it all and all a long this simple fix resolved the issue :victory:

Is anyone having problem getting the weather to show on the lockscreen after doing above fix?

I got it to work again by using this ADB command and rebooting:
adb shell "settings put global always_on_display_constants smart_space_enabled=true"

Thanks, Do you need a unlocked bootloader to use the above command

UPDATE: just tried it, seems to be working for now. Thanks

Has anyone received the DP4 today?
I updated via OTA but now the weather widget is gone, I tried the above fix but still nothing
---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------
Update: now its back, didn't do anything other than unlocking my phone and locking it back.

Tried clearing Google Play services and Google Play store data and cache as well as rebooting but Google Pay still not working on DP4...any ideas?

According to topjohnwu (Mr. Magisk) and Nathan Chance (Mr. Flash) there is nothing you can do until google fixes it on DP5.
