Google Play Services. I messed up, need help - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I manually updated Play Services......
I got this apk right here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-8-92-2098262-440-android-apk-download/
Made sure the one I had matches the "440" at the end of the version number, which is relevant to Android version > 5.0, ARM64, and universal DPI.
Now that I installed it, a lot of my apps are crashing and won't even load.
I tried installing an older version of Play Services but it won't let me.
Any suggestions please?
I'm not happy to do a factory reset for this.

Wipe data from play services? That should reset it all. If you use Android wear you will have to reset the watch and wipe the wear app tho. Too much of wear is tied into play services to work. Also, have you just rebooted first? Updating play services like a normal app interrupts the normal flow and may just need to clear the triangles and reboot then wipe the app if that doesn't do it.

Yes I did reboot the phone
I also wiped the data from Play Services and the apps that were crashing but nothing changed...

Can you go to Settings > Apps > All, scroll to Google Play Services, and Uninstall Updates?

It won't let me do that. The button is grayed out.
I've been doing some research and there's quite a few people in that situation with no answer...
I suppose I'll do a backup and Reset Factory Settings this weekend if nothing comes up

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES... Now everything is crashing
Uninstalled updates then I let it it update itself, and reboot. Did another Clear Data for Play Services.
The Play Services is back to its correct version before my manual update.
But I'm still getting all the same crashes. What the hell... ><
I'll format it tonight. It's getting on my nerves.

Reset factory settings worked out well.
And for the record, LG Backup is a damn good option.
3 apps out of 100+ didn't restore properly, they were all moved to external sd before the backup.

Google Play keeps FC'ing

Anyone have this happening on their glide?
I tried all of the following:
- clear data
- clear cache
- wipe cache on boot screen
- delete and reinstall the apk.
- 3G only instead of Wifi.
When I reset everything, all works fine until I try to update an app and that's when the FC's begin
The google play apk I have is v3.5.15
Is this what you guys have as well?
I'm seeing few other posts on other forums, but no solutions yet.

Try reselecting your Language in Settings > Language and Keyboard, after re-selecting, a media scan should occur, then try launching Market Play Store
no luck.
Damn that sucks bro. I had 3 updates and i updated with no problem. On both my KF and Evo 4G.
What rom are you using?

okay last one that i think worked on me before:

I'm using Stock Rogers ROM but the phone is rooted.
I've had quite a few calls missed recently (doesn't even ring), so i think i think i think I'm gonna give it a factory reset.
maybe take a gander and some of the new custom roms out there now as well.
Wow that was painful...
Did a factory reset and GPlay still FC's
Did a full factory reset + Wipe USB and SDCard storage and GPlay still FC's (v3.5.15)
I now have found a tool that allows me to download APK's from Gplay web site and load them manually onto my phone, until Google can fix their latest version of Gplay which has affected others as well.

I flashed back to Rogers Stock a few days back to replicate your issue, but until now, my Play Store is still at v3.4.7 and no FCs. I am still investigating for I got this one before but solved it with just uninstalling updates and re-updating...

Cool how do you do this? I have a cousin of mine that has the HP touch pad with Cynagen Mod installed on it but when he goes to the store a lot of apps say not available for you're device. So then he asks me to get them and backup my app with Astro and then send him the apk. If he used the tool you use he would not need my help.

Well if not working try reseting the phone
I had the same problem yesterday, and I tried to check the My Apps menu in Playstore, it happened that all apps in "Installed" tab are downloading updates all at the same time. So I cancelled all the process and everything is back to normal.
Update Error
Hi! I'm having the very same problem. Any advice please?
Are the apps you are trying to update on the micro sd. If so try moving them to the device storage before you update.

Possible solution
@reaf
A factory reset should work. However, I disabled my downloads app and the downloads provider and the play store refused to open.
I think that you should try to disable both of them; wipe any data or cache.
Then reboot and enable them and reboot again.
This should solve the problem.
Nexus 7 2013 Marshmallow not play store joy...
My Nexus 7 2013 updated with latest OTA Marshmallow some time ago, have rebooted a couple of times since then, suddenly stopped doing any app updates even though it seemed to think it needed to do so. The downloading progress bar would just go on forever. I finally got fed up and reset cache and data, rebooted and nothing. Then I did a factory reset, but let it try to re-add all my apps, that was taking forever as well and never actually getting anything to complete the installation. Then I did a factory reset without restoring any apps. The tablet runs, I can surf the web, lots of other things, but when I start the play store it apparently is the older version of the play store and it never wants to update itself. When I click the play store build(5.12.7) within play store settings, it says there is a newer version available and will be installed. That hasn't happened for 2 solid days now. I can't get any apps to install at all and the play store is stuck on the older version.
Advice?
P.S. Yes, I have a good WiFi connection.
I am having this issue now on Zenfone 2 version 4.168. Somehow, this started happening after my friends wifi went down. When it came back I still couldn't use it effectively. I could not connect to games or google play store. I tried clear cache and data from services and play store one by one but no solution. I booted to recovery and wiped cache from there still no difference. Factory reset was only solution that worked and that was my last resort. I thought the wifi I was on got hacked or ddosed because thats when issues started. So it has happened again after I did the factory reset. I synced my apps from gmail after I reset and it was fine for at least 4 hours till now I can't connect to game of war and when I go to play store and my apps, I get can't connect to play store.

Cannot perform any action related to my google account

I rooted my device with the help of kingroot I have tab s 10.5 wifi + cellular and at the beginning thing we're okay but slowly every app of mine like play store and youtube stopped working says check your connection and sometimes say unknown issue with Google play services guys pls help me have I broken my precious toy

Just do an factory reset from the settings menu, backup your stuff first.
John.
Or download the correct version for your device and try reinstalling it:

Problem with Google Play store app - insta-quiting all the time.

I have a problem with Google Play store app - every time I click on icon it starts and quit instantly with message "Google Play has been closed" (no other info what was wrong). It's newest version available.
I've tried many things:
- reinstalling the app (turning off to uninstall any updates) and reapplying update.
- clearing cache of app
- clearing cache for Google Play services for Instant Apps and Google Play Services
- clearing Data of store app.
Only two (first and last) gave temporary results for the first start - after that I can use app normally, but just after quitting problem is always back until I don't clean Data in Settings/Apps/Memory. I don't want to do factory reset, but it's kinda annoying. Something is loading/changing in app data after the initial start, that results in problem with starting again. Thanks for help in advance...
Uninstall Play store updates, clear data of Google play services for instant apps and perform a wipe cache after that.
Open the app and try if it works.

Can you precise "and perform a wipe cache" - did you mean wiping cache in the 'Google Play' store app or 'Google play Services for instant apps' app or device cache in recovery mode?

First uninstall playstore updates then clear cache of the app "Playservices instant apps" and then perform wipe cache via recovery.
Didnt helped - first start, with "old" version is ok, after closing the app and reopening its quit again ?
Could be problem with Google play app. Couple of days ago, I've noticed that sometimes is not showing updates for installed apps. Force stopping usually helps.

Baronik, please check if you are using latest google play service, 8.1.29 at least. I had the same issue last week. I made even factory reset without lack. Then I found this suggestion on Lenovo forum for Moto Z and verified that I used outdated version 8.0.X. When I tried update it I received notification I use latest version. I was singed to google play service beta program so I unsubscribe it, and done factory reset one more time. After restart 8.1.31 version has been installed. You can try to uninstall updates for google play store first.

I'm not sure about app you're talking about - I got 3 apps "connected" with store:
- Google Play store - version 8.0.73
- Google Play Services - version 11.3.02
- Google Play services for Instant Apps - version 1.19
I've been uninstalling store few times with a hope, that phone will update to newest version. Looks like 8.0.73 is newest my phone can install automatically. Any trustful source for 8.1.29 version to manually install? I really don't want to do factory reset...
Problem SOLVED - I've just installed 8.1.29 version of Google Play store app from APK-mirror and everything is ok for now. I can start app, close it and start again with no problems. Thanks for suggestion about version - I was more than sure, that phone will always install newest store app, but that wasn't true.

Play store not showing downloaded apps under My apps section

My play store app is not showing downloaded apps under My apps section. I am unable to check updates and apps.
My phone is rooted with Magisk.

Please let me know how to fix.
I have already cleared data and cache from settings.

Looks like your Play Store is uncertified. Clear data and cache for Play Store and try hiding Play Store in Magisk then reboot. Hopefully that solves the issue.
Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Clearing cache/data didn't work. What did work was disabling the app (it uninstalls updates and reverts it back to the factory version), then re-enable and you should be good to go.
I've hidden it in Magisk but I still get uncertified; doesn't bother me though since everything seems to be working normally as far as I can tell.

You sir are a saviour! i was facing the same issue and had tried a lot of stuff like deleting cache/data of the play store, removing and adding the Google account but nothing worked. I disabled and reenabled the Play store and its perfect now (on Android P DP4)!
