[Q] Google play wont run

Running [email protected] #6 on my evo shift. Android version: 2.3.7
Downloaded Google play. When I run it. It says" You must add an account to the device to continue, Do you want to add one now? "
Yes or no Play just goes off the screen. Help?
I have setup a gmail account and that doesn't help. Sign into google account fine with my browser that doesn't help. Can't setup email. Because it is asking for Exchange setting. Not using Exchange. Help? Ohh Noob here too.

I rip everything I can of Google out of my phone. At this point, I have maps, contacts, the market, and the respective libraries. Nothing else.
The reason is that Google is an evil corporation that plays the nice guy act, in order to harvest all of our data. I would rather pay for my services than bend over for Google.
The way I look at it, Apple does not give you control, and makes you pay for that service. Google gives you a false sense of control over your phone, all the while tightening the shackles on their new data slave.

Issues with Google calendar sync

Hi everyone,
I have been having issues with my calendar sync on my XTZ 311. It has been happening over the past three months and it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as classes are starting again soon and I use my tablet as my primary organizer. I had been using Google Calendar from the play store, but I had noticed that in no monger was syncing and I couldn't troubleshoot it myself, so I factory reset my tablet to see it that would help. Long story short, it didn't, and not whenever I try to open it, it just force closes. The stock calendar is only slightly better as it will at least sync facebook birthdays. Now yes, I could get away with just using this but I like to have everything synced with my phone and laptop as well. Attached are some screenshots of the problem, if anyone could help that'd be great.

Have you found anything elsewhere on the issue? Its kind of beginning to be a major issue for me.

I had that and what I did was to remove the Google account and insert it again. For now it's working...
Sent from my Xperia Z

Had same issue. For me solution was simple... Instal another calendar app, sync google calendar there, let it work for a while and voila... That somehow made it work again. You can delete that new calendar afterwards.
Google knows about this and investigate it.

might help
open google calendar on PC browser. Try checking the calendar you use. I guess multiple calendars kinda force close sony calendars app. After unchecking resync your calendar. And the check it back and sync again.

This may help. I couldn't sync calendar at all with service.
Get GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, install it llike an app, and calendar will sync with g account.
I have android CM 4.4.2, not sure if this can help all, but this is link I dwnloaded from:
goo.im , site wont let me to put link here, but google GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, get it and install it.
Hope it helps.

That's AMAZING can't wait to get home lol

Got it mine, you can see a lot more apps now, still very few useful ones but lots of games. I even spotted ES File Explorer which I know some people have said they had a issue installing after a recent update.

Tested it a bit yesterday, very very nice improvement IMO. I could be wrong but I think it's still missing a few compatible apps..
It's getting somewhere at least, we might see more over the next couple of days

can this be installed on cm12.1 with gapps-lpmr1-x86-leanback-20150524-signed.zip or is it only for factory os?

I posted a comment about this in the official CM 12.1 thread. You can install the APK without doing anything special on CM 12.1 from within the OS. There is no need to boot into recovery to flash this.

I installed the apk and now the Play Store won't load anything. Just spinning. Anyone else have this issue? On a side note anyone know how to rollback to the previous version?

Goto your app settings and clear the cache and data. See if that helps

I'm having the same problem, but I didn't side-load. I just got the player today and in the apps it shows this version, but the store won't load. I factory reset it about a half hour before this post
edit: factory reset and letting it sit fixed it. Must have been queued to update the app and was just waiting until it was installed. Took like an hour of sitting overall.

Finally....
This update was long overdue. Google should have done this when the Nexus Player was released.

Phone deleting apps and Google Play Services by itself

So I've never seen this happen before but my phone started to delete random apps. At first they were ones I didn't really need so it didn't bother me but then a lot more went missing and when I went to use Paypal it told me that it couldn't work because Google Play Services wasn't on the phone. I had a (soon to be justified) panic attack/flashback to when my friend and I accidentally deleted Google Play Services by mistake and the ****storm we dealt with for two days straight until we were able to track down the correct odin version of her phone's firmware (she had a rare version of Sprint's S3, the Triband one and it was nigh impossible to track down her correct firmware). Any apps that get "deleted" show up in the app drawer/homescreens as having a generic grayed out picture with an "SD" logo on the bottom as if they were sent to SD...but they aren't in the Applications list in settings so I think it's the OS not understanding they're gone and the links still being stuck there.
Questions to you all:
A) Have any of you experienced this random app deleting? Is it a sign my phone's NAND is going bad?
B) Should I just odin the firmware back on and reroot or is there a way to simply to reinsert the correct version of Google Play Store/Services if one of you would kindly provide them (I'm on QG5, newest for G930T)
Thank you!

Bump, nobody else have this issue?

Not here. The only thing I have seen that is similar is when I restarted in safe mode, so all my user apps were disabled. In this case, are the apps deleted or just disabled?

No they were deleted, it was so weird. Again, I wouldn't really be that concerned if it didn't delete something as important as Google Play Services which limited a lot of functionality. I found some Play Services version to have it kind of work while I was in Ireland but things like Location/GPS and many apps wouldn't work right or not at all. It's a real pain in the ass how reliant so many things are on that one service.
I'm doing a full re-image on it now, just hope this was one time thing :-/

Facebook services, is pre-installed. Just go into Settings> Apps & notifications > See All apps > (top right side hit 3 dots > show system) Click and disable (can't uninstall unfortunately) all facebook apps you see. I had three already in place, "Facebook app installer" "Facebook App manager" & " Facebook Services"
Oh and you can probably remove over ADB, I haven't yet but probably will attempt in the future.

I'm pretty sure none of these apps are needed to run the Facebook app, but I do not use Facebook so I'm not sure. I am pretty sure though, that regardless if these are uninstalled/disabled when installing the official Facebook app, it will do the same thing as those apps and monitor stuff on your phone. I highly recommend if you want Facebook either go through a browser or look through the XDA apps & games section and there a few custom facebook apps that sandbox it and don't allow it to collect data from the phone.

This newer thread (below) shows how to REMOVE all of the facebook apps:
