[Q] Play Store v. 5.1.1 crashes immediately upon opening, HELP! - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This issue has just started happening to me over the past 2-3 days, and I cannot figure out a permanent fix for it! Let me start by saying that my OPO is not rooted, and the only updates to the ROM have been the official ones that have been released (I'm currently on CM version 11.0-XNPH44S). Every time I attempt to open the Play Store, it crashes immediately afterward with the "unfortunately google play store has stopped" error. I looked at the error report and it states : [CRASH] com.android.vending threw java.lang.IllegalArguementException as the subject then the first line of the content reads: "java.lang.illegalarguementexception: view android.widget.listview{41ab7730 VFED.VC. .F...... 0,0-1080,1845 #7f0a02dd app:id/play_drawer_list} is not a drawer".
I know nothing about Java, so I have no idea what this means, and there are 18 lines of equally incomprehensible text after that. I've tried clearing the data, cache, etc. from the app with no change. The only thing that works is when I uninstall the updates, taking the Play Store back to v. 4.9.13. However, in almost all cases it auto-updates immediately back to 5.1.1, so I'm still not able to use it. I read somewhere about disabling the background data usage in settings, but then you're not allowed to download anything from the store.
Is anyone else having the same issue, or can you suggest an idea as to how to fix it without my rooting the device and having to back up the nearly 700 apps I have on it? TYSM in advance!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Y Google Play Issue

I've had a good hunt around both the xda forums, and the internet, hoping I could solve this problem without troubling anyone else, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Y running 2.3.6 and rooted. I was recently having some issues where I'd get an alert saying "Insufficient Internal Memory", I cleared just about every app out, and was still getting the error, so, in a last ditch effort, did a factory reset. The reset went fine, but for one problem.
The Google Marketplace app wouldn't update to Google Play, and I was unable to download or update apps. After trying all the usual solutions, such as clearing the cache and simply waiting, I got a friend to upload the .apk for their Play Store, which was the latest version and running without an issue. I then installed this .apk, rebooted, and found that the app had technically installed, but the icon was completely blank, the only evidence of it was in Settings>Apps. After three reboots it eventually showed an icon for the Play Store in my app drawer. However when tap it, it starts to open, freezes, quickly flashes an error message, and then closes. The error message isn't on screen long enough to read, but I think I can get the words "Sorry!" and "Procedure".
I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Anyone out there who knows the ins and outs of Android better than me, have any idea?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
What do u really need update to Google play from market?
I always uninstall the update of market to play,. Market is better...
So let mobile on its own upload the martket,dont do manually if u need play...
Then it may be solved,i think...

Unable to fix "Google play services has stopped"

Recently I have started getting an error saying Google Play Services has stopped, I have tried clearing the cache of both play services and the play store with no luck.
I have also tried clearing data, rolling back to the previous version & even as a last resort I did factory reset. Nothing seems to be working, now I'm thinking it may be related to another app?
Model: 6+ PE-TL10
Build PE-TL10V100R001C900B141
Play services: 7.5.71(1955121-038)
Play Store:5.5.1.2
Anyone else had this problem? or have any other possible solutions? it's happening every few mins now

Try deleting hosts file from system/etc and fixing it with ad away after that.

thanks for the reply. just had a look at that file. Need root to delete though, maybe thats something to look at next..
Hey,
Did you manage to get this fixed? I've got the same versions as you and I'm having the same issue, its gradually getting worse. Message has gone from being occasional to once every few seconds. It's driving me nuts. :silly:
I've tried the normal tips suggested for other phones (wipe cache, un-install updates, shout at it).
Currently looking at one of the update files from needrom incase its an issue with 4.4.2. Failing that will try rooting and failing that i guess its a factory reset and fingers crossed unless anyone has a brain wave.
I assumed it was Play Services itself, which you can't delete to roll back (and test) but it seems to be an app, which I'd uninstall if I knew which one.
I saw someone else with a 6+ at an event recently who had the exact same version of Google Play services and he's not had the problem once. I get it all the time.
Honor is aware of it, although it's been a few weeks now.
I just went thru same problem, different device, but i went thru two hours of hell, until i finally figured it out..... Similarly i went thru same problem last week on my rooted Lenovo ideapad... And today i couldn't remember what the f¥¢k i did to fix it! Finally, with the error "unfortunately the process gapps has stopped" every two seconds and constant notification about Google play service needing update.... But damn device freezing cause button needs hit ok.... Finally i went and managed to between error message ; get into settings - application mgr - all - Google play services.... Clear cache data manage data force stop.... Them Playstore wipe cache +data, uninstall update....
Then back to main settings page, accounts - Google - uninstall all accts. Reboot....
Then i tried (soon as booted) to go play but it was stuck on weird error - no service (?? Was on wifi - wtf??) so Google search and said i need update and that took me to Google account set up... Reinstall account and you get the Google accept play messages and backup /restore checkbox.... After that all was good to go.... Yeehaw!! * Yipee!!!
Sure that there is probably a beer way to do it but i was cussing up a storm and ready to smash it into the wall! Thankfully i was patient and figured out a solution
I had the same problem twice, and i solve it by :
Uninstall the update of play service in app manager. (Clear cache mayby)
Reboot.
Let playstore reinstall the update.
That's all.
No need to delete Google acount.

I experienced same issue on my Honor 6 plus and it drove me mad. 100 times per day the same message popped up in different situations but I could not see any correlation between the appearance of the message and any specific activity on the phone. I only noticed that the message appeared more often when I used any map application like Google Maps or Nokia Here. I tried to fix it with all above mentioned solutions, deactivated most of the Play apps, cleared the app cash of play services and all GApps, cleared the system cash from stock recovery and nothing helped for more than 10 min. Finally I deactivated Google Now (via Google Settings) and suddenly the popping up of this message stopped. No single error message re-appeared since that (48 hours ago). So in my case the issue seems to be solved for now and finally I'm fully happy with the phone.

I am also getting this error since I got lollipop update on my honor 4 x and now on Android 6 on same devices.

One Plus One phone won't start after trying to solve 'Google play services' error

Hi everybody.
I'm new here, and haven't helped anyone yet. Still I hope somebody wants and actually can help me. Thanks in advance.
First & foremost: I searched for the problem before posting this and everywhere it says that Cyanogen fixed the 'Google Play Service' error. However, something is definately wrong with my phone as it won't boot anymore.
I'll try to keep it as short as possible:
Phone: One Plus One w Cyanogen mod. 64gb model.
I was on holiday last month and got a notification of an update. I installed it. After that I was experiencing the problem everybody seemed to have. Popups every 30 seconds (or less) saying the Google Play Services have stopped. As I was on holiday and didn't have Wifi at the time I was just irritated by the errors. I needed my phone for navigation (I was doing a roadtrip) and although Google Maps wasn't working anymore, Nokia Here maps was still operating and so I thought to solve the problem when I return home. However, a few weeks ago another update appeared on my phone and I was thinking this might be the fix for the problem so I installed it. Unfortunately the errors still appeared.
Then I found a workaround to stop the errors, I uninstalled the updates for Google Play Services. This stopped the errors, and still some apps were not working (GPS based apps) but at least the errors were gone.
Yesterday I tried to solve the problem. I read a lot online and decided to install the newest Google Play Services file. Unfortunately it didn't work. Errors returned but now I could also not enter the Google play store anymore. This should have been the moment to back up important files... but I didn't. Stupid me forgetting about lesson 1, logic 101... so stupid.
Ok, so this morning I stumbled upon a page from problogbooster.com and decided to follow Solution 1, which says:
Go to Settings >> Select Security >> Device administrators >> Deactivate Android Device Manager
Uninstall Google Play services update
Go to Settings >> Application Manager >> All >> Google Play services >> Select Uninstall Updates
If you use an app that requires the latest Google Play services, you’ll get an update prompt and the update may immediately be reinstalled.
Now again go to Settings >> Select Security >> Device administrators >> ACTIVATE Android Device Manager
Reboot your device.
After this reboot my phone doesn't start anymore. I'm sick of it. All my pics from my holiday are on there... and I would love to be able to back them up.
Does anybody have an idea on what to try next? Hooking it up through USB hasn't given me access to my files unfortunately.
Thanks in advance for anything that can help. Cheers.
Peter.
Update: every now and then it will try to boot, updating my apps (as if I just did an update) but when it's finished it just reboots again... and again.
The Cyanogen MOD ready screen is showing but nothing.
As there are no responses yet, let me narrow down the question:
Is there a possibility to access my photo's on the phone from the recovery menu? Or through ADB connection? Or through Fastboot? I don't care about the phone. The data matters to me. If it was the other way around I would just go back to factory settings and continue using and take the loss... but I don't want to accept that (yet...)
Pretty please, can someone help me with this?
Cheers
Peter.

Hipstreet Flare 2 HS-9DTB7 - App Crashes, Odd Behaviour, Deleted App Return, More.

After many long attempts to fix this I have come up empty handed. I believe the Hardware is either corrupted or damaged but need an expert to help confirm. (it doesnt even seem worth it at this point to fix, but i want to try anyways, its my kids tablet) I will add as much detail as possible.
First the tablet would get stuck in booting (A9 screen) found that this is due to a corrupted firmware. I flashed a firmware onto the device and it was able to boot up, however still with a few issues. google play store when updated would instantly crash "google play store has stopped" the second you clicked to use it. the only fix i found for this was to uninstalled the google play store update back to factory and it would worked, with the problem of some apps had to be downloaded over and over until it decided to complete, often finishing with a package file invalid. but i managed to get a few games and whatever and gave it back to my daughter.
after about a week everything crashed at once on boot up. process.google.gapps would crash over and over and over as soon as you click ok, many other apps crashing as well and just repeating google account manager, Key chain, RS OTA, and others i cant remember at this time (the problem is currently not occurring or i would go get this information.) mostly the gapps process was crashed over and over making the tablet unusable due to constantly trying to click these errors.
Odd behaviour, during that i managed to click and quickly select settings, and went in and deleted a bunch of apps or uninstalled updates on ones that were crashing, i could uninstalled enough to stop all the errors.. then i rebooted the tablet.. and all the errors were back, and everything i uninstalled was back too, how the f**k?! lol.
i attempted such things as going into recovery and deleting all the cache and media, nothing. so i flashed it again.
the above error return after some time. and i flashed it again (my daughter wanted it working this seems to be my only quick and temporary fix, i have disabled many apps and stopped it from automatically updating, however i still found some settings after being changed, to be undone back to the way it was before i changed it after rebooting the tablet. again it always crashes when google play store updates. this time i rebooted the tablet and went to update the store, and now the app can NOT be found in the store. there does not even seen like a way to update the tablet like "here is your only buggy version, have fun"
CORRECTION: Google Play Store could not be updated because after restarting the tablet the updates were back, as if i had never uninstalled them. i didnt bother checking the first time because this is very unusual.
I am willing to root, change, hack, smash, throw out the window, put it in the hydraulic press at work...i dont care lol
i believe the hard drive has damage.
(i didnt run thru all the attempts i have made to fix things, cause i could write a novel. Thank you for reading.

Google Play Store Issues - "Download Pending"

Researching online, I have read that this has been a common problem reported for years. After my May Security update, Google Play Store has been acting up. I haven't seen if it does it when downloading new apps, but it constantly gets stuck at "download pending" when updating existing apps. The only workaround I have found is to "clear storage" and wait like 20 minutes for it reset and find updates again. Then it works for a little while (~1 day) and then stuck again. I've also tried removing my Google account from the phone, and then reinstalling it...didn't work. Does anyone know how I can permanently fix Play Store so I don't have to clear storage every day?

I have had that issue as well as missing .01 MB and just sitting there for hours. I try to update 1 app then reboot the update another. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This was on my oneplus5t stock rom 9.0 as soon as I installed LineageOS 16 all issues with updating cleared up. just restored back to 100% stock and issues again.
