Hi
Google Play Services suddenly started to drain my battery. 100->87%, 18 minutes SOT 2 hours standby.
I found out, that I have an outdated version of Google Play Services and I have tried Google, but can't seem to find a way to manually update it and since it don't update itself, how do I update it?
Thanks in advance
Download it from APKMirror and install using your favourite file manager

Thanks. APKMirror is a legit site? I just find it weird Google Play Services suddenly wants to get access to route my call and text messages. (New permissions from the app from APKMirror).
Download it directly from Google Play if you are concerned. I just did it this morning myself from Google Play using this process and got version 7.8.93.

APKMirror is run by Android Police, and is very much legit
I also read about a trick over on Reddit to get your phone to update Google Play Services itself. Simply load Google's Android Wear app then launching it and trying to set up will initiate the Google Play Services update since Android Wear needs version 7.8.93. Even though I downloaded it from the pay store using APK Downloader, I tried this and was able to get the phone to self update to the latest update to 7.8.95 now. Interesting trick.
Has any one trying to locate Mate 9 using Android device manager? in my case the app is installed but is showing my old device instead, neither works if I use Lookout app.

You have to enable it in device administrators setting, it's disabled by default on my phone.

Mines enabled already, I never enabled it.
Could be because of Chinese firmware as it comes without Google stuff in stock?

I believe so, I got HiCloud settings where you have Google ones.
I have mate 9,
Model number MHA-AL00
Build number MHA-AL00C00B231
EMUI version 5.0.1
I'm in Japan, using mate 9 with my home wifi.
I've already installed Play Store and Find my device on my Mate 9, but,
-Even though I can download Apps from Play store on mate 9, when I access Play store from PC, mate 9 doesn't show on the device list, even in Settings menu.
-When I access Google device manager from PC, mate 9 doesn't show on the device list.
How can I find my mate 9 on Google device manager from my PC, and install app into mate 9 via Play store on PC?
I installed GMS packages below using "gmsinstaller.apk"
Google Services Framework
Google Account Manager
Google Play service
Google Play Store
and installed Find my device via Play store on mate 9.
Gave permissions to each app as follows
Google Services Framework
-Contacts
-Phone
Google Account Manager
-Contacts
-Phone
Google Play service
All of the list include
-Contacts
-Storage
-Your location
Google Play Store
-Contacts
-Phone
-SMS
-Your location
Find my device
-Your location
-Trust this app
-App auto-launch
About the Settings matter,
on Settings menu, there is no "Google" following "Do not disturb", not like pic posted by ante0.
Settings > advanced settings > Location access > Access my location has been already enabled.
Settings > advanced settings > Security > Find my phone > Find my phone can not be enabled 'caz of an error "Unable to connect to the server.(31)"
How can I do?
is you device showing certified in google play store app? I had same device and all you mention worked for me, I can even install from web without any issues.

1. Make sure that you have accessed the Google Play Store app on your device with the same email account as you signed in Google Play from your computer.
2. Make sure that you've actually installed at least one app on your mate 9 from Google Play Store. Only after you've installed an app, your phone or tablet will be linked to your Google Account.
1. Off course YES I did.
2. from Play store on mate 9, I have already installed several apps.

On Setting of Play Store on my mate 9, it's already certified.
Is the size of my system partition correct? I can't flash GApps or anything else with this small free space.
It is normal. I have only 16 MB remaining...

But the problem is, EMUI 8.0 comes with AppGallery instead of HiApp which doesn't contain the Google Play Store. So, when I had upgraded to Oreo, I wanted to flash OpenGapps and I encountered two errors:
1. I couldn't get the twrp working (the one that came from Huawei Multi Tool bricked my device)
2. Even If I could get twrp and flashed OpenGapps, it would show me insufficient storage error.

Strange. When I upgraded to Oreo I was able to easily download Google Play Store and get it working.

Ikr. The AppGallery on my phone contained absolutely no Google apps except Youtube. And, even if it had Play Store, installing it from AppGallery would install it as a normal app, not a system app. Wouldn't that cause problems?
I noticed that Play Store,Gmail,Youtube doesn't do works in background For example, when I choose to update all the apps of Play Store and my phone goes to sleep the updates stop running in the background. Gmail only shows me notifications of new e-mail when I actually open the app itself. Could these be because the apps are not system apps?

Installing as non-system app won't cause any problems with Play Store. There's a reason Huawei served it through its App Store to ensure it is installed correctly. The rest of Google Services are already included in EMUI 8.
About your apps getting killed in background, that's obviously because they are non-system apps. That's how Huawei power management works. But you have the option to set apps to not close even if your screen is locked. The option is in Settings so find it

What if I were to make them system app (App Systemizer module from Magisk) instead of changing that settings?
Hi guys, I am go to Google Mobile Service Settings on newest Fire HD 2018.
So just I'm going to Android Settings and find the Google Settings is not there. I'm using the Activity Launcher.
1. Download the Activity Launcher from Google Play Store
2. After install. Open the Activity Launcher and select the drop-down All Activities on the top screen.
3. Scroll down and select Google Play Services, find the activity and start com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsLink or com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsIALink
See screenshot below:
Did you install the Google Play Store required apps first?
What you are saying is not clear, so I don't know if you tried installing the Google Play Services and Store on the tablet or not. But, there are no Google apps or settings on the Fire tablet at all coming straight from Amazon. So, by default, there is no Google Settings to find.

I think he's trying to explain how he gets into Google settings after installing the services and apps as unlike other Android devices the link to the Google settings isn't in the settings menu.

Can you use launch the Google Settings activity using Activity Launcher
Find the activities in Google Play services:
com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsLink
com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsIALink
I know I am late but there is a apk for the google settings app you could add.
Update: I made the tutorial as simple as possible.
*Remove sim card or turn on airplane mode*
1. Go to Settings > System > Google Play Services
2. Turn on Google Play Services
3. Install latest Google Play Store from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
4. Install other Google Apps
5. To install Google Chrome, you MUST update "Android System Webview" first
6. Install your other apps.
*Disable first the stock Moto dialer, contacts, Lenovo Appcenter and LeCloud (as these apps will mess up your Google contacts).
7. Install Google sync contacts app attached to sync contacts.
8. Default Motorola Contactt app will sync your Google contacts (no need to install Google Contacts)
9. Default Motorola Calendar app will sync your Google calendar (no need to install Google Calendar)
Done.

How to enable notifications in Motorola Edge S (phone will not kill the apps in background)
1. Go to Device Shield app
2. Go to Background Processing
3. Click the app one-by-one and update (as well as any app you installed that you want to receive notifications on time) to "Allow app running in background".
4. Go to Auto Start apps and enable your Google apps to auto start. I also do this with my other non-Google apps.
DONE. Your phone is now ready to use.
By going through this process, the play store will work with no issues after? Able to download whatever app you want or will it generate an error?

Yes. No Playstore issue whatsoever. Google will be the default app store to download, install and update all your apps. You can disable the default Lenovo App Center app.
Google assistant works too (of course you need to download the assistant app from Playstore as well).

Awesome, that's good to know. do you think it will survive a factory reset or you have to go through these steps for each factory reset?

You need to go through everything again
For those who do not need the Google suite, but only Play services dependent apps such as Play Store, Line, and GCam, enabling Google Services under "System" settings (>Advanced) works reliably and will update/install all your apps, too.
Loving the moto UI on Android 11, which lets you disable/uninstall almost anything including the built-in app store.
These steps work great so far with the 8gb/256gb variant. Only thing that needs troubleshooting from my end is the 5G band.

Yes
Chrome can be installed from the Lenovo Apps Centre if it doesn't install through Google Play Store.
Can verify NFC and Google Pay also works no problem.
I want to get the moto edge s from AliExpress, but found out that the device is not on the list to receive android 12 update.

You could considered the Moto Edge X30. It's available now on Aliexpress. It comes with Android 12 built in. It has much better specs than the Edge S, including a 50M OIS camera and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 cpu. But of course, it more expensive.

But G100 is on that list. So you will still be able to install its Android 12`s Global Rom on Edge S.

This means that the edge S pro does not receive android 12 in official ways, the only way for it to receive android 12 and unlocking the device's bootload. (China won't give even one kind of OTA support)
Hello, I put the Chinese rom at 20 pro. but I can't get android auto to work, because I need to install android auto stub to the system folder so it recognizes it for me. but with root explore like other apk they don't let me install it. I have root with magisk 25.
