It mainly happens when I reboot the phone. "Google play services has stopped working" followed by "com.google.process.location has stopped working", sometimes twice in a row. It's been happening for a couple of days now. The only adverse effect I've noticed, besides it being annoying and frustrating, is that my zooper weather widget hasn't updated in two days. I've even tried to force update it. I tried a websearch and it only turned up a gapps error message. Has this been happening to anyone else or might anyone have some insight as to what is causing the problem?
Try to clear data and cache on google play service.
If it still heppens, reflash your GApps

Clearing app data won't change anything. I fixed it with a clean flash.
"Are you rooted? If so are you using xposed with the Disable Location Consent module? The new Play Services update is causing a conflict with that module; try disabling it and see if that resolves the issue. If that's the culprit you should be fine without the module, there's now a checkbox to no longer show a prompt when switching between Location modes."
I found this solution on reddit.
@Penetrator18 : thanks for the tip mate, it solved my problem

A couple of weeks ago I started getting error popups, always at least two (dismiss the first then the same exact error pops up again) in a row, then usually a short pause followed by another two popups. It seems to mainly happen when I start on the move, particularily when driving, but then after the first one, or two sets, it won't happen again for a while. Every now and then it will happen at home when I'm on WiFi, but it's less than once a day that I see that. In case you can't see my sig, I'm running stock Kitkat 4.4.4 with Xposed & Gravitybox.
Steps I've taken to try to resolve this is, freezing various apps that I'd recently updated right before this started, installing both older and newer versions of Google Play Services (currently have 6.1.83), updated Google Play Store (5.0.32), cleared the data and cache of Google Play Store, uninstalled GPS updates (4.8.20), and updated to the latest Franco kernel version (r63).
Still the errors come up. Anything else I can try short of a factory reset? I'd rather not have to do that right before Lollipop, when I'll just be flashing over it again anyway.
the very first thing that you should have tried is completely remove xposed and anything that has to do with xposed. whenever you have an issue, and xposed installed, you cant really check anything else without removing xposed completely. xposed comes with many undocumented issues, it can break just about anything. so, if you have an issue, the very first thing is remove xposed.
I thought about that, but absolutely nothing was changed before the issue and after the issue. Earlier today I updated Gravitybox and a couple of other modules, but that didn't solve the issue. I suppose I'll try completely removing it, although I doubt that will fix anything since as I said, nothing in my Xposed framework had changed when I started having this issue.
Edit: Well slap my mouth and call me Sally. It's definitley an Xposed issue. Now I just need to narrow it down to which module is causing the problem. Thankfully it's not GB.
Thanks, simms22. I guess some change on a Google Services side must have had an issue with one or more of my installed modules. If I had to guess it is probably the "Disable Location Consent" module.
Simply reflash stock 4.4.4. Should end the issue. A fresh start. ?

its always what i ask ppl to do when i help, uninstall xposed first. if the problem still persists, then we try something else. and i swear to you, about 80% of the time its the xposed
Installed this morning Google Play Services 7.5.62 and every few minutes, during normal use, it FC'c with message "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped".
I have COS12 not rooted.
I was on Google Play Services 7.3.x and never had a problem.
Anyone else?
Just started constantly yesterday.. I've upgraded to latest 7.5.66 (1939950-438) I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Try clearing app's cache and then wipe cache also from recovery: no FC's for me after that
Have this problem too. Tried clearing data from the app, then clearing cache and dalvik. It resolves the issue for a few minutes, but then the FCs return. The only way to stop it is to turn location to "device only".

Confirmed - No more annoying popup! Thanks for the heads up! I'm about to go away for the weekend and I just need it to work.. I'll deal with it when I get back sunday.
Anyone with a solution yet?
Solution. Flash older version, wait for Google to fix this
I'm now on 7.5.71 and am not experiencing any issues.
You guys applied any wakelock fixes to Google Play Services in Privacy Guard? See if it still crashes if you revert the changes
I am on 7.5.71 at the moment and I kerp on getting very often the msg that it has stopped working.
It seems that the cuplrit is privacy guard: if I enable wake up e keep awake then all is OK, but if I deny the error comes back.
Someone suggested to put location to device only, so maybe it' a combination on causes.
We are discussing this in the official opo forum and many support this.
I am on 7.5.71 too and I found out this:
- if I disable wake up, keep awake and automatic start (in privacy settings) I always get the fc problem, but if I go on gps settings and choose "device only" then the are no more fc's
- with default settings in privacy guard (all enabled) and with high precision in gps settings, I'm not getting fc's
Exactly, same for me.
So it is a combination of privacy guard and GPS localization.
Same problem here. So what then drains less battery? GPS location oder Google Play Services not being limited?
At the moment I have all enabled in privacy guard (so nothing is blicked)/and localization set to maximum, no FC's and overnight in 7 houd lost only 3%
This is weird.
I'm on CM12S, YU Yureka and play services 7.5.71 and even I face the exact same problems
Who here has Amplify?
The problem has gone away once I've undelayed the UrlDispatching Wakelock.

I disabled Xposed (and therefore Amplify) to check and the crashes still occured.

Thank you! I have a droid maxx, but I had the same problem it seems. I suspected it was something with amplify, but I thought it was more likely to be the location alarm/service. would never have figured this out. I tested this by turning the urldispatching wakelock from default to delayed by just 240 seconds. when delayed, the GP services where FCing every few seconds while running gps navigation. remove the delay and the FCing immediately goes away.
My note 12 keeps crashing and instantly exiting apps (going back to home screen). I often lose my work because of this. I don't know what's the cause. I tried uninstalling a lot of apps. My system keeps crashing to the home screen.
I noticed this on my tablet and found out it was an update to the Google Now app that caused crashing. I removed the Google Now widget from my home screen and that resolved the problem. Google released an update yesterday that seems to have fixed the crashing.

I'll check if you're right.
I don't have the google now widget on the homescreen.
If that doesn't help, try troubleshooting step 1: Factory reset.
Not only does mine crash constantly, but web pages constantly reload/refresh while you are reading them and it is driving me crazy!
And, yes, I've tried factory resetting.....
Recently, as I install an app, I'm finding it to take a long time...several minutes.
I just selected Truecaller from the Play Store to install. It's a small app. It moved from the downloading stage to installing, maybe 5 minutes before I started this thread, and is still in installing mode now. Another interesting thing, it does NOT show it installing in the notifications bar.
I've had this happen with other apps as well.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Try clearing cache and data of the play store, in Settings - Apps. Sometimes it just 'hangs'. Canceling and Install again can fix it too.

Thanks. I'll give it a try,
This isn't my phone. It's my wife's. Her phone was working fine until a couple of hours ago. Now she has five apps that are crashing. There is an install notification in the notification area. When she taps it, it goes nowhere. Clear and swipe don't get rid of it. She goes into the update area and checks for an update and there were no updates available. Nothing was done to the phone before this all started happening. It was just sitting on a table.
I know nothing about these phone and how they work but I know that you all do. She's tried restarting the phone multiple times and it's made no difference. She's also uninstalled and reinstalled the apps. Any suggestions on how I might help her out?
Actually, we might have found and fixed the issue.
PSA: If your Android apps keep crashing, update 'WebView' and Chrome [Permanent fix]
Android users seeing constant app crashing can update the Android System WebView component and Google Chrome to fix the problem...
