I did try to flash apps and that didn't work. So I tried 're rooting it and flashed a Rom with g apps and still nothing. That's when I Odin back to stock again. Yeah I also tried clearing the app data on both....still nothing....I'm stumped.

Give this a try, download this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196 ,unzip then flash the file with Odin.

Alright so i flashed the file above and now the play store opens but it says "No connection" even though i have 4G and wifi. I tried a fresh factory reset and still stuck at the No connection screen......any ideas?

1) Did you add your google account?
2) Kick start by clear data and cache for playservice and google service framework, reboot phone, once it's up, open your browser to verify internet is working, then reopen play store.

OK,
1) have to try with 4g instead of wifi?
2) so right now your phone is running pure stock ROM with no third party apps on it right? if it's, please try another google account. Remove the old one first, or if you don't have one try to sign into google to see if your account is still good. Do it a few times (login and out).
3)Check the following apps:
google play store 4.5.10
google play service 4.0.34
google sevice framework 4.3.757479
clear cache and data for all of them, then uninstall google play store, reboot phone, wait for it to update, once updated reboot then try again.

Seems like the play store apps are outdated and your phone should update automatically once it's online. You need to side load the apps from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/20hi0n6b2876080/4510 and 4034.rar unzip then try the 4.0.34 first, reboot, see if update the rest, if still not working install the second one 4.5.10. They are apk, so just install like an app.

Do you have the option to uninstall google play store? if you do, clear data, uninstall, stop the service, then open play see if that work. Usually this issue happened to custom rom only, not stock rom, and also with hyper drive rom, where it left residual to the host file.

OK..let take a step back, it's possible that you need to reflash. Do a factory reset, power off, put into download mode then Odin reflash the full stock factory file. Once it boot up let it sit for 5 min before going through the setup.

I think it's been fixed in the new Speedmod. It's got a new kernel.Search on Pg. 158-160 of the original dev page

Google play crash with CM12 on OPO

Hi all,
I updated my OPO to CM12 and the google play services can't be updated leading to the notorius battery drain plus several other issues.
It's all stock, less than 1 month old unit, what can I do?
The previous version, CM11 was great, the current YNG1TAS17L is creating only problems.
Please help.

Head into settings > apps > google play services > clear data.
After that head down to apkmirror.com and download Google Play Services and manually update the app.
This should fix the systemupdate service bug on the older version of Google Play Services

I have gone back to previous version.
Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psvtQB7NizI. I have had to use it several times and still have the trouble. Best case is factory wipe and reload from Google app.

Thanks for your message!
I can't access google play app crashes and I can't upgrade the app via the google play webpage.
I downloaded the latest version of the google play services (it appears to be the same version I already have installed) but I can't clear the data of that app (there is no clear data button just clear cache).
In order to install the apk, all I have to do is select it with a file explorer app (provided I have set the option of allowing the install of non google play apps?
Thanks,
Marc

If Google Play FC, head into settings > apps > Google Play > click clear data and force close
To clear data of Google Play Services, head into settings > apps > Google Play Services > (I think is) manage storage and it'll bring you into Google Play Services app, scroll to the bottom and click clear data. After that, force stop and uninstall any updates you may have for the app.
To manually update/install an app, use a file manager and head into the directory where you downloaded the app and just click on it and package installer will do the job it needs to do

hi all,
**EDIT** 20/10/15
So I wiped my phone again - cache and system. Flashed "cm-12-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YNG4NAO253-bacon" and "gapps-lp-20141212-signed" annnnnd it all works!
I still don't understand the cause of any of my troubles and I haven't tried doing this with CM 12.1 because stagefright is still an issue?
I cannot get Google Play services to function properly on my OnePlus one- have tried Factory resets, installing from a backup, Stock, CWM and TWRP recoveries. installing from apk hosting sites. clearing cache and all data in settings>apps>google blah blah, hoping someone can help me.
- several months ago i flashed TWRP as my new recovery and then flashed SuperSU and I have enjoyed this set up ever since as I love using the app AllStream which requires root access.
- after putting off updating my phone since doing this, I finally decided to update the other day...
- I downloaded the CM12.1 .zip , moved it onto my phone, booted it into recovery and flashed the bastard (figured everything was going smoothly at this point).
- When my phone booted up I figured I would download the Google Play store from the built in browser, and then download all my apps through that, BUT when I logged into my google account the play store said all my apps were already installed???
I downloaded some apps from some apk hosting websites and installed them (allstream,facebook,snapchat and a couple others) they all worked fine.
When I downloaded Google Play services Version: 8.2.99 (8299240) for Android 5.0+ (Lollipop, API 21) from apkmirror.com it installed and then gave me the error "unfortunately google play services has stopped"
every 3 seconds or so.
I have tried flashing Stock, CWM, Philz and TWRP recoveries, doing a factory reset and then flashing the CM12.1.zip. get the error in all cases.
I have tried clearing cache and all app data in phone settings>apps>google PS>clear cache/delete data
I have not had Privacy Guard running ever (some forums have suggested this can cause issues).
**EDIT** 19/10/15
I've realized since posting that I have had Privacy Guard running (i had thought it was a separate app).
I have since experimented with different settings within Privacy guard such as turning the "wake up" and "keep awake" options on or off - no success
No idea what to do now, have I done something obvious? What else can I try? What other information should I provide to help diagnosis?

Google Play services not working

Hi guys,
I searched the forum and I found a thread with "Google Play Services Stops Working" with no fix for this problem and unfortunately this issue started affecting me when I completely wiped the phone with OS (accident) on it and started from scratch.
I tried latest version of play store, not so late, different installation methods and the result is still same. After awhile the google account is deleted and play services are not working.
I forgot to mention when the OS was restored and updated I had to manually install Play services.
It says not supported by my device. Is there any way how to get it permanently fixed again ?
Thanks in advance,
E.

How did you install GAPPS (Google Apps with all the needed services?

I downloaded latest play store .apk and installed it from there. I even tried different versions, different sources ...
It's working for few hours and then it stops working ( I click on play store and it's just about to open, few ms quick white flash and nothing happens) and I have to reinstall it and redo my accounts.

You have flashed all the services and apps google play store need?

Try flashing the latest opengapps package.
Use the following options to generate:
Platform: ARM64
Android: 5.1
Version: you choose

No need. I had the same issue; at some point my stock Play Market just vanished, ran into a bunch of other issues, but solved it by installing a full gapps package generated on opengapps (I use the pico version).

I installed gapps successfully :highfive:
There was some error with MD5 but at the end it was fine.
Let's wait and hope it did what it was supposed to do.
Thank you guys

I flashed CM13 a few times and I never had an issue with downloads. There's something wrong with your setup.
