I've had a problem with Google play services before, but never to this caliber. This isn't the phone, but on my primary S7 whenever connected to WiFi or using data I'll get the occasional "Unfortunately, Google play services has stopped" popup. But the thing is, it keeps popping up. Again, again, and again, and it's definitely getting to be a problem. I'll also get an notification saying something along the lines of a Google related app not being able to update or it's not working properly, even when going to the Play store to check updates, it's not there. And even sometimes when trying to open something like Gmail, I get this: "Gmail is having trouble with Google Play Store, if the problem persists, please contact the developer for assistance." Not sure how the heck this all started in the first place.

Tried both, didn't work. I can't even disable or force stop Google play services, and Google Services Framework isn't even its on thing for me, it's under the Google play services, and data usage. Now apparently I messed it up even more possibly cause some actual apps are popping up with a similar message.
When I had my android phone unfortunately google play services has stopped several times before I found a simple solution to it. I downloaded hotspot shield on my mobile and whenever I turned it on, it was always a success.

Full disclosure, I have already asked this in the Galaxy Nexus section of the site. But I noticed that some other people across other devices have had very similar issues. So hopefully someone, at some point has been able to solve this conundrum.
Here is my current situation:
About a week ago, I noticed that I had stopped receiving notifications from Gmail. I could still open the Gmail app and read my emails, so I didn't think much about it. Then 3 days later, I noticed that none of my email was showing up, and when I would try and refresh or sync from within Gmail, I got a message that there was no network connection. After that, I went into my Account Settings to verify that I had not somehow accidentally turned off Gmail sync. It was, in fact, still checked. However, it showed that it had not been able to sync since 2/13. Additionally, my Google Calendar, Google Play Music, People Details, and one or two other services are not able to sync. There is a message at the bottom of this screen that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Like I stated, this has been the case for 5 days.
I will also list what I've done to try and fix it so far, just so I don't get a bunch of suggestions that I've already tried.
- Clear cache for affected applications. No Change.
- Clear DATA for affected applications. No Change.
- Turn off, then turn on Sync for my Google account several times, with and without rebooting in between. No Change.
- Wipe the Rom, then install a new Rom and kernel. Upon doing this, I could not even get past the registration, as the phone repeatedly said that it was unable to contact Google servers. This was attempted both on LTE and WiFi. I eventually had to Restore via CWM.
The device is a VZW Galaxy Nexus, running the FML fork of CM11 and has the Mpokang 1080p kernel. I have been running this setup for a few months with no issues at all. Gmail still syncs and functions fine on my Xperia Play and Kindle Fire when on WiFi, so it doesn't seem to be an overall problem with my Google account.
Any other ideas as to what I might try?
I've also attached screenshots of the issue. Two of the images show what my Google Account Sync looks like, and one image shows all I can see when I go into the Gmail app. I did black out my account name, but that is all.

Last night, my Google Play Store stopped working. So I did a little more research, and was able to resolve the problem. If anyone runs into this issue in the future, it was simply a matter of having a somehow corrupted hosts file. If you use ES File Explorer (or other similar app), navigate to your root directory, go to /system/etc and find the file called "hosts" without a file extension. You have to mount r/w, then rename, move, or delete the hosts file. Once this is done, reboot the device. It took a bit longer to fully reboot, but once it did, all functionality returned.
Every time I click on google play I get a grey bar at the top of the Play Store Home page without the 3 line menu option on the top left and a No Connection error or connection time out. Searching the Internet for these yielded options from messing with date/Time to a factory set. I have done all of these things, but I did find 2 work arounds. This is where things get weird. Please let me know if there is a perma fix.

1) Wait for an update notification:
When I get a notification that an app need to be updated and I click on it the Play stores opens and works normally. I get the green header and 3 line menu option on the top left with google play normally.

2) Here is the work around I have to use:
Open the Play Store from the app menu
Click the search and type anything
Click on see all apps
You should see the green header and 3 line menu option on the top left with google play normally.

What's your android version?
U move google play store to internal storage or make it a system app
I just found out on the web about enabling the hotword on every screen, but when I go into voice settings there's no audio history, and only the option about in-search app detection.
I'm on a stock 4.4.4 Nexus 5, with Google search 3.9 up date.
I tried everything, deleting cache, enabling / disabling google now, nothing seems to get it to show up.
Anyone with the same problem? What can I do?

It is. Always been :/
Be sure your google play services and search app are updated to the latest versions.
From google play services settings -> search & now -> voice -> audio history turned on. This will allow you to manage your audio history once you start using google now.
To turn on "OK" Google: In the same menu as audio history there is "OK" google detection. Check the "From any screen" once you do it'll have you record you saying "OK google" 3 times. After that a setting will appear under "from any screen" which says "allow from lock screen", check that. Profit.
Hope this helps. I use google now religiously.

I'm using Nova launcher (up to date) for all that matters. Ok Google is enabled there too.
Everything is up to date, I don't get it
That is odd, my explanation works for me. However, others have had your problem, so after looking it up. From google now / google search app, search "Ok Google everywhere" and the settings should come up.

I tried that too multiple times, no use.
I couldn't find anyone with the same problem
I have the exact same problem. It's driving me crazy, and nobody seems to have a clue why this is happening.
If you find a solution, please let me know.
Since a month or so Play Store takes literally hours to download or update apps. This happens on wifi and mobile data, no other app has connection issues, Play Store works fine on my old Samsung and OnePlus phones. I tried restarting my phone to no avail, power and data saving modes are turned off.
Any one got an idea what's causing this?
If they fail with error 92x then you can try clearing the cache and data of playstore and Google framework. Uninstalling the updates for these will do the same. This may not work, but it might.
There may be an issue with the account. Wipe the account from your device and re-add it. This is more than likely going to work.
Failing that it will be a full factory reset and you will need to make plans for backups to reinstate your data. This will definitely work.

I had tried clearing cache and data before, doesn't work.
Now I tried wiping the account from my device, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I go to setting -> accounts & sync tap on my Google account then tap remove account. Although that logged me out on all Google apps, my device somehow still remembers my Google account's email address which I don't use for anything else as you can see in the screenshots.

Yes it does, cause the device gets bound to the Gmail account registered at first boot. It's something like Apple binding a device to the iCloud account first registered with it.
To remove it fully, you have to login to your Google account from a PC, and navigate to the account overview page. There you can got to
Device Activities & Security Events > Last Used Devices > Check Devices
and disconnect the device from your Google account. Once that's done, and you rebooted, the Google account should be gone.
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs
I've got a Unihertz Jelly 2 with T-Mobile service. It's running Android 11. First thing I did when getting it, about two weeks ago, was disable a bunch of Google-ish apps because I'd mostly like Google out of my life. I know from past experience that I can't disable them all because, eg, play store is too useful for me to do without. I'm afraid I may have caused this issue I'm seeing because of my disable frenzy and I'm hoping someone can help me understand what's gone wrong.
Every couple of days I get these messages from number 2903: "We see your phone does have correct settings to access the internet or send MMS. Settings will be sent to your handset."

They are accompanied by notifications from Omacp app:
In Omacp I see requests to install things. When I click the button to do the full install I get a report that the APN installed fine but the "browser" failed:
Afterwards it tells me the browser is "unsupported":
What "browser" is it talking about? I thought it might have been Chrome, which was one of the apps I disabled, but re-enabling Chrome did not resolve this.
Still disabled on my phone: Assistant, Calculator, Calendar, Drive, Duo, Files by Google, Google TV, Keep Notes, Photos, Youtube, Youtube Music.
Not disabled (because I thought it would break stuff, I coudn't, or the warning messages too dire): Android Accessibility Suite, Android Auto, Android System Webview, Carrier Services, Game Mode, Gboard, Gmail, Google, Google Play Store, Maps, Messages, Phone, Settings, Sim Toolkit.
When I get the messages from 2903 for omacp, I need to do the install or MMS messaging does not work. This sort of feels like it should be happening automatically in the background.
I have the same issue. Any resolution on this?
What browser
