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!!

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!

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 everyone,
I followed the instructions to install google play store and was enjoying the fire phone with all my fav google apps for 4 months. But I do not know what happened, I constantly get Google Play Services has stopped. I click OK and it doesn't go and the phone is pretty much unusable. I have also tried to do factory reset and again install. The moment i install the basic 4 apps and open google play store for signing up, it starts updating Google Play services and i have the issue again. When i downgraded google play services to a lower version, I wasn't able to use any Google apps.
Has anyone faced similar problem ?? Any solution ?? Any ideas ??
The Hardware is so worth for $200 .... a nice phone but now its troubling me a lot ...
Update:: :thumbup:
Thanks for all your valuable suggestions... When I installed 7.0.99 the problem was fixed. But then it works get auto updated and cause issues. I used to uninstall and re install manually once every 12 hrs....
But received an update Fire OS 4.6.1 and after that the issue for resolved. Latest Google play store works fine. And new OS version has many new features included.. Quite good..

Update the os to the 4.6.1 update available on xda and install the Google apps on that , it works fine for me
I have a similar problem. I am 3.6.8. Did updating to 4.6.1 resolve the issue?
Same issue here. I have tried upgrading to 4.6.1 and reinstalling all the versions of Play Services, Services Framework, Account Manager, and Play Store that allegedly are working for other people, and still broken. Hangouts no longer works (a deal breaker for me), not even Play Store is working correctly. I'm currently stuck in "version hell" with these services. One version of this breaks this version of that, etc etc etc.
Can anyone who still has a functioning Fire Phone please post the point release of all of their services?:
Google Account Manager
Google Play Services
Google Services Framework
Google Play Store
Hangouts
Thank you!!

Thanks all. I have installed the apks for those versions, and for a brief while everything worked, even hangouts. Then Google Play Services AUTOMATICALLY updated itself to 7.3. Now everything is broken again. I have "Do not auto update apps" picked in Google Play. Is no one else having this issue?

Mine just updated to the new services version and Play store now just opens to a blank whitescreen. Hope google fixes this soon.
playstore 5.3.6 on fire os 4.6.1

Just updated and got the wonderful White screen. Grrrrrr... Did the Fire update to see if I could finally get Android Wear and now this. Hopefully a giant brain here will fix it. No pressure.

Sideload the latest wear app and it should work, Google services seem to work fine just playstore having problems, other Google apps should run Android wear apk http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-wear/
I loaded it and when I launch it I get, "Update the Google app on the Play Store. Then open Android Wear again.". If I click Cancel it closes. If I click Ok it opens amazon appstore. Can't get past the message box. Did I miss something?
Thanks again Giant Brains

Hangouts is also not working. I get to my list of conversations and can open one, but the text box at the bottom is missing.
As of this morning I have the same issues. Play Store 5.4.12 sits on the white screen, hangouts shows groups but no conversations in them. All other Google apps that i have seem to work so far.

Ok I downloaded the 1.0.4 version dated December third then downloaded and installed the latest upload 1.0.5.1785466 (501785466 from apk mirror and installed over the December 3rd version and it ran fine but I don't have an Android wear watch to pair with it so I can't tell if it works fully

Got wear side loaded and did the 7.0.99 fix to make play store work. But when I launch wear application it says:
"Update the Google app on the Play Store. Then open Android Wear again."
If I choose Cancel the app closes
If I choose ok the Amazon store loads. I click cancel on it.
Then I have a blue box that I can't get to go away that says,
"To ensure the best voice experience on the Android Wear, please update your Google App" and then a button that says, "Update Your Google App" that will never go away.

My brain is only medium sized so I can only offer half-measures. I get the white screen all the time. But, if I deinstall Play Store then reinstall it, it opens fine...but for only that session. As soon as you close it and try to reopen, white screen is there. So, I now have everything set up the way I want and have deleted Play Store. When I need it again will reinstall. It's an acceptable work-around until Amazon loosens the reigns a bit and learns to play nice with the kids from the Google neighborhood.

Do you happen to have an Android wear device? I want to buy one but if my fire phone won't work with it then I need to get a new phone prior to buying an Android Watch.
Yes. Updating OS solved the issue. :thumbup:
Sent from my SD4930UR using XDA Free mobile app
Any ideas what this could mean¿?
I've been getting that all day today as well, wonder if it means theres a bug with the date or something?
I m guessing it has something to do with an update of Google App. I get the same error when opening it.
OMG, this has been happening to me all day as well and it's been driving me nuts. I've tried everything to fix it; reverted to the non-beta Google app, cleared the Google app cache/data, cleared Google Play Services data, and eventually reset my watch (twice). The Google app starts working again (though no feed cards) but then the watch installs "Your feed" and the problems begin again.
I'm on a Pixel with Oreo, for what it's worth.
Facing the exact same problem, reset twice as well, once the "your feed" is installed on the watch, i keep getting the error, i think the your feed is the app that pushes the google card to the watch? coz i don't see any of the google card appearing on the watch after getting those error, and i don't know how to disable the app as well
I have the same problem! for 3 days in a row this notification is appearing every minute! any solution?
I'm having this too...
Someone has to get a logat to see what app is doing this...

It's the Google app. Try opening it, you'll get the same error...
I'm hearing this is from the beta version of the Google application. Is everyone here opted into the beta version?
I am, yes. Uninstalling the beta version updates didn't help though, presumably because the watch hadn't synchronised any changes.
Same Story...
I've also had this same error for about three days, ever since the latest Google app update. Did a factory reset, and the error started again once the Google app installed fresh. My wife has a Moto 360 Sport, and the Google app on her watch now has 'Your Feed' by the G logo. I'm wondering if they made some Wear 2.0 specific change that's not compatible with Wear 1.0? I am using a Pixel XL with my SW3, for what it's worth.
Can confirm that the Google app is broken on AW. Everytime I manually start the app out crashes. Looks like Google has some more work to do. But hey, that's what betas are for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Opting out of the Beta program for the Google app, uninstalling the beta version, and then waiting a little while for the changes to sync to my SW3 appears to have fixed this for me and I can now open the Google app on my watch without getting the error. Unfortunately, this has also reset my home screen layouts and removed all my widgets

I'm using the beta as well. Haven't tried downgrading yet.
Finally found people with the same problem!
My Samsung Gear Live has been just permanently on a white screen saying my feed has stopped and the whole thing is literally unusable. It's been like this for about a week, and i've unpaired, resetup, cleared cache, rebooted and even uninstalled as many apps as I could via debugging. I did not uninstall "google search", but if it's not a root app I will try that now!
My ASUS Zenwatch is doing the same thing!

The beta Google app on my Pixel XL updated last night, and since the update the white screen "your feed has stopped" hasn't come back, but if I try and run the Google app on my SW3, it immediately kicks to the error screen. So the Google app still won't run on my watch, but the constant error screen has gone away. Looks like the Wear 1.0 version of the app still needs some polish.
LG G

Same problem. I switched watch faces to something from a company called HuskeyDEV. Prior I had a face that came from Android Wear. Since then it's only happened 1 time. Before it was every few minutes. No idea the switch might work, but it seems to. Just sayin
OK, so the very latest (23rd) Google app update seems to have resolved it for me. I uninstalled the Google app from the watch via adb and it didn't crash, then I let the google update go through and my watch then said that "feed" was installed and it hasn't crashed in 24 hours. Previously it would ONLY display the crash screen and was completely unusable.

Well it crashed again today, in an endless crash loop. I have uninstalled Google Search via adb again and it's fine for now.
Opting out of the Beta for the Google app might be the only permanent solution. I don't mind the bugs that come with beta's, but this one is making the watch useless. =-[
So, with the recent update to Wear OS on my mobile phone I have found that I wasn't receiving notifications any more. I figured it was something to do with app referencing to the old Android wear instead of the newer Wear OS app on my phone. I reset my phone/watch and from that point it all went horribly wrong. I could no longer transfer apps to my watch (Strava, Keep, Spotify, etc) and notifications would not appear on my device.
THE FIX
1) Remove the Wear OS app from your phone and download Android Wear from UpToDown.com.
2) Download the most recently archived version (2.7.0.177669439) and install it (Enable Unknown sources in settings).
3) Open the Play Store app and go to "My Apps and Games" and find the "Wear OS" app update and open the app store page. Select the triple dot menu from the top right of the screen and uncheck "Enable auto-update".
4) Pair your phone and watch again, giving some time for all apps to sync and reinstall.
I've only just completed this myself and so far everything is starting to come back up on my watch like before. You may need to go into settings and tell the app to resync all apps to watch again, but hopefully this has fixed any issues people are having of late like I have been.
Happy trails!
Did you get constant FC messages?
Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ1 using XDA Labs
I wasn't getting any notifications on my watch. So I tried wiping my watch and setting it up again and found it would never sync apps back to the watch. So I rolled back to using Android wear which immediately fixed the issue of the apps not syncing. A positive side effect of doing so allowed me to get notifications again.
I did that and now I have notifications but apps don't syncing. During parring it hangs on ninth app and goes to the main screen. Resync all apps don't work
Same problem here, fresh install and my watch is missing almost all installed apps : keep is present bu not working, google map is missing, ...
Thanks worked for me....not using lates release seem to fix the issue
Doesn´t work for me. Android Wear app FC on XZ1 Compact.
EDIT - IMPORTANT: THE 2.13 UPDATE OF WEAR OS SOLVES THIS PROBLEM
This is what worked for me. It is the combination of two solutions that did not work for me separately.
Restore the watch.
On the phone delete all Google accounts.
Clear cache and data from the App Wear Os. Uninstall App Wear Os. Then remove cache and data from applications Play Store, Google and Google services.
With the phone browser download an old version of the Android Wear application, specifically the 2.8.0.183316206.gms of January 26:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-wear/android-wear-2-8-0-183316206-gms-release/android-wear-smartwatch-2-8-0-183316206-gms-android-apk-download/
Install the apk. Remember to have the installation of unknown sources enabled.
Before opening the Android Wear application you must enable all its permissions.
Then open the App and pair with the watch.
When they are already paired, follow the watch presentation tutorial. At the time of the presentation of the Google voice assistant, you must indicate on the watch that you want to add an account from your phone. If everything went well, the system asks for confirmation of the password.
When the Google account is already added, you must go to the Play Store App of the watch and update the applications indicated by the system.
VERY IMPORTANT: DESEABLE AUTOMATIC UPDATES ON THE PHONE (if Wear Os updates, the problems appear again)
The downside of this solution is that we have to keep an old version of the Android Wear App. Personally I only use this App so that the phone is paired with the phone.
If anyone has any doubts about the method I can try to help him.
Sorry for my Google Translate English.
Thanks work for me
I can not open the link..Can you upload it again please?

Since 2.13 Wear Os App everything works fine.
I have a Huawei Watch V1 and I can't connect to my google account, so google fit, google assistant, android play, market etc. nothing was used. Finally I tried it on my old model xiaomi mi 5s plus (I kept it in the drawer as a spare for a long time) and everything connected as it should. Who knows, maybe it's stuck with google embargo. I hope this information is useful to you. Good luck.
