Hi all, I've got a stock Epic 4G Touch and I've got a strange issue updating Google Maps.
Recently I noticed that the number of apps listed in the "My Apps" section of the play store dropped by a few without my uninstalling any. I no longer see Google Maps in the list, for example.
I'm now trying to update Google Maps from 6.4.0 to 6.5.0, but the update didn't happen automatically, as it should have, it doesn't show as an available update in the Play store, and when I navigate to it in the Play store and try to update manually, I get an error: "Your order is processing, your item will be available in a few minutes." After pressing OK nothing happens.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
I believe it's the Google Play store issue. It happened to lots of people and even I experienced the same thing a couple of days ago but now everything is fine except the 'connection time out' thing to see the all apps instead of installed from my phone.
Uninstall maps I used titanium back up for that. Then I went to the play store on the browser and installed the latest version of maps.
Yea, the play store is acting funny. It will work itself out. Earlier today is showed that I had no apps installed. I went back in a few minutes ago and he were all there. Give it time

Google doesn't have the capability to handle the market or Android users! I hope someone else take over this role!
Run the install from Play on your desktop. Finally worked for me after 2 days of trying on my phone.
this "new" market is one of the most horrible pieces of software to hit the Android community..Google needs to do something to fix it; why they didn't just leave the older market intact is beyond me..this is a horrible DOWNGRADE..
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!!

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
Hi guys,
Lately I've been seeing "google play services has stopped" error pop up loads of times, more when I'm doing heavy network use, like Youtube streaming, 9Gag, Facebook, these apps are constantly pulling data and here is where I see this happen a lot.
What I've done, cleared "Google Play Services" Cache, installed different ROMs, CM12, Bliss, GPE, Stock SkyDragon and my last attempt, SD RedBulled v17, where I had to format all partitions to F2FS and still happening, starting to suspect maybe a bug with the latest update of google play services? I'm I the only one seeing this happen?
Let me know guys if you are having the same issues and any workaround?
Thanks everyone.
UPDATE (SOLVED):
Looking at logcat, notice that every time I got this error, google fit was trying to do something, so uninstalled it for not, don't really need it.
Hope this can help someone having this issue.
As of about two days ago, I've started getting a popup/notification that says "Unknown issue with Google Play services". Anyone else seeing the same / figured out a fix for it?
My Play Services is version 8.3.00 (2353383-036)
Additionally, my battery life has dropped way off (since I started getting this notification), and it seems that anything that needs GPS will take forever to load, and will trigger the "Unknown issue with Google Play services" warning
I don't know what happened but a few days ago Google Play Services stopped working. Now apps like Grab throw the error "Google Play services are updating" and Google Home won't work because the account list is tied to Play services. I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling updates for Play services but nothing is working. On C636 patch.

Was getting something similar, but it's affecting in-app items that depend on google play services, like maps and locatons. Just shows " Google Play Services are updating". Started roughly a week ago. Apparently it's an issue with Maps being affected on Huawei / Honor devices. Seems we'll be getting a fix in a few weeks.
