[Q] I don't even know what to name this problem...

So.. it all started with google services framework.

It kept crashing every 30 seconds. I tried to clean cache, clean data, force stop, reboot phone, remove google account in "Accounts & Sync", everything you can find on the internet (except for an actual solution, which i still didn't find). I thought re-installing it would help. I found an apk for Android 2.3.4, and installed it. I rebooted the phone. I had the same problem with play store a couple of months earlier, and I thought it would be the same.
Android didn't boot after that. Tried removing battery, rebooting phone, nothing. Had to do a factory reset. Once the phone booted (after factory reset) i got to the part where I get a green android with a message "Touch the android to begin"
I tried factory reset a couple of times, with and without sd and sim cards, no luck. Tried tapping the corners, but nothing. Found some other **** online, same result.

Why did you try to install an OS using an apk? It sounds like what you should have done was reflashed GAPPS which should have overridden the framework you were having a problem with and solved the problem. If your phone is not rooted, the only way you can fix it is to boot into recovery and reset from there. If you do have a rooted phone, it'll probably be easier to go into CWM and reflash your ROM.

Remove and re-add your Google account?

settings/apps. hit option, select refresh app preferences

I have the same problem.
/Dons flame suit
I tried to improve on battery life by converting both Google Play services and Google Play store to user apps with the intention to Greenify them (Don't ask ... I just wanted to try something). From the moment I did that, I got the message "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped". I converted it back to system apps, but this did not solve the issue. Since then I tried a lot of things:
1. Install Google Play Services 4.5.10 fresh
2. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Clearing their cache individually
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe data, force stop
6. Retrieve both from a previous nandroid backup
7. Restore previous nandroid backup
as well as ...

I am at the point now where I can browse the play store without getting the message, but when I:
1. Try to update apps (from device)
2. Install a new app (from device)
3. Install app from Google Play Store on PC/laptop
... I get the stupid message again.
Bottom line, I messed up and would like to get full functionality back.
Please assist
EDIT:
I also downloaded and tried to install the following two APKs
com.google.android.gms-4.1.31(965943-30).apk
PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
...but it does not install

Bump

Just clean flash the rom and gapps again. Or wipe and reinstall stock. Whatever your using.

Beta opt out

Hi, I bought a used pixel 32 GB. Working fine. But the previous owner opted it in to beta. Whenever I try to opt out, the phone does factory reset and I'm stuck at 7.1.2 with the January security patch.
Not even any updates for the beta.

Shall I ask the previous owner to log in with his account and opt out of beta? Would that make a difference?
Thanks.

If that is happening, you will have to factory restore your device by flashing the stock factory image.
Factory images can be downloaded here. Remember that they differ by carrier, so make sure you download the correct one.
https://developers.google.com/android/images
If you are having trouble with flashing, just google "Flash Google Pixel factory image" and you should get some more detailed instructions.
Since you probably removed the previous user of the phone, opting out on his account will do nothing.
Hope that helps!

If it's a normal pixel you can just flash the latest factory image. If it's bootloader locked like VZW or some EU carriers you'll need the original owner to opt out for that device.

I'm the original owner on a Verizon pixel. Opted for Beta, now I want out. Google page says it will send me a reset link to reinstall the non beta, but I should backup the phone before doing so. What does it exactly erase? Entire thing, start from scratch? Does it erase all apps, media, cache, cookies?

Everything. It'll be just like you bought it new in box. You'll have to set everything back up that your Google account didn't restore.

Ugh...I don't like that...not as much because of apps or launcher layout, that's backed up...but cookies for passwords, banks and such...I might just have to wait for the official 712 release.

Pokemon Go no longer working after Android 8.0 Oreo OTA Firmware update

Hello,
I hope someone here is able to help me with this as I've searched Google for days now and haven't found anything that works. I have the S8+ (SM-G955W) and have been playing Pokemon Go since its release. After I received , downloaded and installed Android 8.0 update OTA however, this game no longer allows me to play it. When I open the game, I receive an error message "This device, OS, or software is not compatible with Pokemon Go". It worked perfectly before the Oreo update. This phone has never been modified in any way before; never rooted and uses stock firmware. It passes SafetyNet check with no problems.
Troubleshooting attempted:
I tried lowering my phone's resolution which allowed me to sign in successfully twice, but then the error persisted.
I uninstalled and re-installed the app countless times along with full reboots.
I attempted installing the game from the .apk file from apkmirrors however this does not fix the issue.
App is fully up to date, as is firmware.
It's strange because, as far as I can tell, many users play the game successfully on the S8+ as well as on Android 8.0. I can sign in successfully maybe once (if I'm lucky) after a fresh installation from the apk, but then after about 10 minutes, the app closes itself (App has to close error) then it gives me the Compatibility error once again following that. Please let me know what I can do, I am out of ideas.
Thank you

Hmm...well if that's what it takes, I'll do it. Could you tell me what the best method is to make a backup before I perform the factory reset? Preferably a method that backs up everything (including setting customization, all applications and their save data, etc. if possible)?

Uninstall old apps such as Xposed installer

hello
the only way I found is factory reset
if I restore smart switch backup, pokemon go fail again

just bought an S9 plus and pokemon go does not work on it. Says OS not supported.

Same here. It's start and after 30 sec kicking out... with that message using magisk

Update?
Any updates on this if the wipe actually fixes it permanently or temporarily? I have a SM-G955U1 directly from Samsung, unlocked but software built for Verizon from Samsung.

Hi vgplayer54,
I had the same problem with an Asus Zenfone2 with Android 5.0, This week I have changed my mobile phone to the new One Plus 6 and I'm still having the same issues. Did you solve the problem?
Thx

I found that the issue was app permissions were disabled for storage. Once enabled the app opens and functions correctly.
Apps -> Pokemon Go -> Permissions -> Storage ( if disabled enable)
Permissions for Camera, Contacts, Location, and Storage should all be enabled.

Did you install it?
Make a copy via ApkExport
Scan with online Virustotal. Decide.
If you uninstall it and that doesn't work, factory reset.

i don't know if i installed it. till i know as installation was done on the date i mentioned, at that time pendamic was active. i was not working anymore on that time so as i know about that time i din't installed it but just a hours ago i notice this app in my installed app note as system apps.
>app scan completed.

It looks like a rooting app.
I'm not familiar with that device manufacturer or app. However it looks like a high risk apk to me especially if you're not rooted and can't recall downloading it. It's probably capable of causing a lot of damage.
If running on Android 9 or higher, a factory reset should purge any root kits if present. If you do a factory reset, set a new Google account password (make sure you write it down correctly) after the factory reset. Change any other critical passwords.

Do a scan with Malwarebytes afterwards.
Keep an eye on your download folder and make sure install unknown sources is always disabled unless you need to use it to sideload.
Be careful what you install...
