Hello Guys,
it's been at least a Month that the PlayStore don't auto-update the apps, even when the Phone is in charge. I have to update the Apps manually.
I recognize that the PlayStore app has optimization enabled for battery but when i go Setting->Battery->Optimization it don't appear in the list and i can't deactivate the optimization.
Anyone else is facing the problem? Any fix?
Do you happen to have YouTube Vanced installed and the detach feature enabled. Quite a lot of users here reported the the detach feature caused these kind of issues with the Play Store. I've had it myself...
For me, it was enough to turn if the detach feature and uninstall updates for the Play Store.

Once i tried it, but then uninstalled. I don't know what "Detach feature" is. So i can try to uninstall updates for the Play Store.

If you installed it as a Magisk module, it used to detach YouTube from the Play Store automatically. Because of this issue, it no longer does it automatically...
I'd try uninstalling updates (it's a good way to completely reset the Play Store) and see if things start working again.

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?

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.

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:

I just forced an update of the play store to version 4.6.17 with the latest buggy play services installed. Play store now working fine, can update and install software like before. Need to test some of the other bugs but at least I have a working Play store now on the latest version of the Fire OS.
Google Maps still not working for me now, just clocks trying to load location like before. My guess is they need to update the apps that have dependencies on the Play services to fix these bugs. Maybe the fix cant all be done in Play services.
Just an update. So far it seems that this version of the Play Store does not force an update to Play services when opened. I deleted the latest version of Play services and reinstalled the older version, and after several hours of going back into the Play store it has not updated. Now Maps and Pandora are back to working fine. So far everything is working and back to normal for me.

Hi Xyth,
Thanks for the information and partial fix!
I currently have apparently the lalest Google-Play-Store v5.4.12 installed in both of my Fire Phones, and you said:
"I just forced an update of the play store to version 4.6.17 with the latest buggy play services installed"
Do you men, that we have to use the latest "buggy" Google-Play-Services v7.3.29 with the Google-Play-Store v4.6.17 an older version?
Please Could you post, if available, the download links of both files?
Sorry for the confusion. I found that using an older version of the Play Store (4.6.17) and the older version of Play Services (7.0.99) together seems stable and is not auto updating either version when using the Play Store. In the past, it always seemed to update both the Play store and the services when I used the store.
Sorry, i do not have an account to link the files, but they are linked in other threads on this forum.
Have u restarted ur phone to see if that did anything?
I have not rebooted if that's what you mean. I wanted to see if it remained stable for at least a day. I will reboot tomorrow and report.

This combination survived a reboot
I rebooted and waited a while to see if anything was auto updated. No updates happened so it seems this combination is stable across reboots. Play Store can be used to install and update applications without Play services being updated.
At this point I don't have any issue with any applications I use not working properly, but I don't use Hangouts and others that might not like this combination. At least for now, The upgrade the android 4.4.4 is complete and stable. If anything changes I will post.
Again, the files used are:
1. com.google.android.gms version 7.0.99 (7099036) aka Google Play services
2. Google Play Store.apk version 4.6.17
Both should be available on this forum as that's where I got them. After work I can see if I can located them. I hope others can replicate this on their phone.
Hangouts is the one probably
Hi,
I have tried to not start Hangouts, and this keeps the play services from being updated.
Even though the play store got updated to the latest version it seems to work fine to install all new apps or update apps
The play services seems to stay at 7.0.99.
I tried to play with it .. if I open hangouts that is when the play services get updated and have to redo the uninstall install to get things working again.
IMO hangouts is the one which needs the updated play services and forces the update.
May be someone else can try and confirm this.

And the link for the version 4.6.17 of Play store can be found here: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=73036323a69e3cf1&id=73036323A69E3CF1!1484&ithint=folder,.apk&authkey=!AIVXLFXAOWDeM0Q
Its been about 18 hours and so far neither Play store nor Play services have auto updated despite using play store 20+ times and a reboot. Seems very stable.
So just to confirm, you had the accounts manager and frameworks already and left them alone...then u uninstalled services and the play store and installed those two files you pointed to. First services and then play store. What Google apps do you currently use? I do use hangouts but I will avoid it to try your process.
Here's what I did to get the only app I cared about, which was Clash of Clans (which was stuck at a black screen upon opening since play store update):
Uninstall all Google stuff: the account manager, services framework, play services, play store, and clash of clans
Go through the usual process:
1. Install Account Manager
2. Framework
3. Play Services
4. Play Store
5. Open Play store, sign in, download clash of clans
6. Open clash of clans, it tells me I need to update play services
7. follow prompt, download and update play services
8. re-open clash of clans, connect to my account, download village
9. go out, uninstall play services, then install the 7.0.99 version from this thread
10. immediately uninstall play store and then when I opened clash, it still works
11. I tried rebooting phone to make sure it would still work. It still does.
12. cross fingers and hope it'll work forever.. I have vowed to not install the play store until it play services gets fixed
13. I have noticed in clash, I'm not connected to google+ or facebook, and I plan on leaving it this way
14. I have bluestacks and clash installed on my pc, and I noticed both pc and firephone villages are linked together and will update/save village everytime I play, which tells me firephone clash is still saving my data to the cloud
Hope this helps, if something breaks, I'll post followup

I used ur files without using hangouts and it still updated. Not sure if it's cuz my phone connected to WiFi at some point...
I haven't had google play services update on me for the day. I'm using the newest play store with the working version of services installed. I was able to log into Google+ for clash of clans and other apps work properly now. I made sure I had hangouts uninstalled before I did any reinstallation because that seems to be the main culprit which updates services.
Don't install hangouts and don't open the play store after reinstalling services and everything should be working, until something forces an update

Did you have play store installed when it updated?
I tried using the older versions of both play services and play store as mentioned in this post but both got updated in spite of having auto updates turned off. Thinking of getting new phones for me and my wife. We can't stand the amazon fire os ecosystem and can't afford to not have Google apps or services. (Feel bad being a hostage but that's the truth)

Well for the most part, once you install Nova Launcher (or launcher of choosing) and Google Apps, it isn't really much different from any other manufacture-skinned Android. But yeah not being able to reliably use Google Apps is pretty terrible. Especially if you're using a Fire Phone on a data-only plan and a GV # with Hangouts. Well I guess forwarding calls to another # like Talkatone might have to work for now.
Not sure if this is the reason my Play Store and Play services don't auto update when I open the play store but I have "allow non Amazon app installation" turned off. Makes sense if the play store made a request for and update that the Fire OS would block it with this option toggled.

Ok I'm 4 hours in running this way and still good. Running hangouts also.
Update... spoke too soon. It's down now.
It happened on July 25th 2018.
I was managing without rooting, with only side loaded Google Apps (Thanks to this forum), managing to get by with pretty much everything I needed in a phone. Occasionally I will hit a bump saying "Your phone doesn't support this app" because the Android is some defunct version. I will either get by without the app, or side load the apk and manage.
But, starting yesterday, WhatsApp is quitting out immediately with no visible error message. It just doesn't run. I think it happened after the latest WhatsApp update which happened on July 25th 2018.
Is this the end of the road?? WhatsApp is something I need in the phone.
What is my way forward.. other than buying a new phone?
For me, wapp sideloaded from play store works good. Some lags from sideloaded apps but is ok. Maybe u have an virus, I recommend to reinstall your rom

I side loaded WhatsApp Messenger version 2.18.217 from apkpure. That is working. Just lost a day's worth of messages. Not too bad. I also disabled auto app updates for Google play store.
But I still have one question. Since this WhatsApp version is side loaded, and not downloaded from Google Play Store, should I still be concerned about auto updates, or can I turn auto updates on, and this will remain undisturbed?
Thanks..
I have disabled some apps and uninstalled some via adb. Then google play store updates and reenables them! Never happened to me before with other Android phones... Facebook, Netflix, one drive are a few that just came back on their own. Anyone have a solution for this?
First, try to disable the auto update setting in playstore, if the problem continues, you can try bk disabler pro, with it you can disable all the update related services
I use GPM on a daily basis. I have uploaded 75k of my own music over the years and do not want to switch services. This morning I got up and went to start playing music as I always do it says "Google Play Music keeps stopping". I cleared the cache, data, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted the phone,installed the apk from an alternate source, etc. I did some digging in CCSWE and there are some services and receivers that are disabled. I reenable them but they go back to disabling themselves. I'm not mega familiar with reinstalling these things via adb but I assume there is a fix that way. Can someone more knowledgable in this please tell me what I need to do to fix this? Thanks in advance. Note10+, Sprint, Snapdragon, November security patch 9.0.
Are you blocking other apps, using CCSWE, and did you make recent changes to apps blocked?
