I am also getting this error on ICS icysnap V2.0. I think this error is occurring due to some bug or incompatibility of latest google play service apk with our device. I have submitted the error report to google. I hope they will fix this soon. For the time being i have uninstalled the google play service. By going to Security > Device Administrator then uncheck the google admin. After this you can uninstall the application in usual way.

Previous version of google play services working fine.

I have also experienced this. Mostly happened while Gmail is syncing. Happened on cm-9, cm-10.1.6, and affected apps on cm-7.But Play Services works perfect on official stock gingerbread. So I think it's a combination of causes. Authentication of apps and services running on unofficial roms,and APIs that are built for armv7 devices. But I'm only guessing. Haven't had time to study my logcats yet. May 14 update seems to be a little better. But it's still not fixed.
Edit: May 16 update, still not fixed. Have read and verified that it works better on WiFi. On WiFi, Gmail, after syncing (and caching that sync) will not cause Play Services to close. But on mobile network, it does.

May 19 update to Google Play Services (version 4.4.52):
I think it's fixed
Updated several apps and synced Gmail. Did not get annoying message. Running cm-9.2.0 (hephappy).

Use a file manager and go to / system/app, and look to see if gmscore is still there. Long press on it to select and view properties. Properties should include permissions, which should be set to:
User: rw-
Groups: r--
Others: r--
The binary representation of this is 644
If gmscore is not there, then you may have it in your backups from TiBU.

Managed to fix it but I had to reinstall all the apps I had removed one by one as TB would not do a batch.
Kept throwing an error.
I really need to know what I can and cant remove as I rooted this phone to get rid of some of the apps I dont use they just clutter the whole system

Same bug after reinstallation of the firmware. I think there are some issues on Google's side.

FIXED!!! Finally Found This Fix!
I was unable to listen to my music for 48 hours, which is hell to me as I'm ALWAYS listening to music. This also looks horrible on Google/Android as I just left iOS (which honestly is a better OS than Android, but Android has come a long way so I'm optimistic about its future...and I also love my Moto X and prefer Android to iOS overall (minus these little annoying issues)). Anyway, finally fixed it by Uninstalling the update made on the Google Play Music app.
Go to Settings - Apps - Google Play Music - and select Uninstall Updates. Hope this helps.

This seems to have fixed the issue for me. Uninstalled Play Music, then reinstalled, and has been working fine since. Good thing too, as it was popping up twice in quick succession every 30 seconds almost. Very frustrating!
Anyway, thanks
EDIT: Seems I spoke too soon

im still umable to do it

I also have this problem, using most recent gapps.

Same problem
I've been having the same problem up until a couple of days ago Play Services worked fine but when ever i open the Google Keyboard the message pops up "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped working" and idea what the problem might be. My version is 7.0.97 (1791429-034)
Thanks for the help.

That one is really old, may cause other, but thankfully quieter problems. Would like to downgrade to a 6.6 version if I can find the link, however...

Back to version 7.* and the problem recurs. Need to defeat its auto upgrade, but this is not a normally-listed app on Play. Maybe after the audo-upgrade happens, one can get to its setting from "my-apps" pane, recently upgraded.

Google Play has stopped.

I'm on 33R and already reinstalled play store. This didn't work, so I cleared data and cache of google play services, downloads, download manager and google play. But I still can't use PlayStore
If you know how to fix this without factory resetting my phone, thanks!

Any other ways to do this? Clearch cache and dalvik?

Just clear cache of Google Play Store (not services) again in settings, apps.
Happens to allot of users quite often, including me.
If that doesn't work, you might want to flash Gapps again.
Choose which bundle you want from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

This is a bit old, but it just randomly happened to me, too. Google Play Services stopped and whenever I'd reboot the phone it would stop as soon as the phone fully booted up again. I got in to clear the cache for both google play services and store and then rebooted once more and everything is working now.

4.4.4 Play Store Crashes at Launch

Not sure what's going on, but I've tried multiple Gapps, multiple ROMs, but it's hit or miss whether or not my Play Store will actually launch. I get the "unfortunately, Play Store has stopped" message.
I've cleared both Play's and Services' cache/data, uninstalled/installed manually, but still nothing is working.

Had a problem with the play store crashing even before I changed the DPI, I am using a theme, though, maybe that has something to do with it...let me turn off the theme and see what happens.
Works now, theme issue.

[FIXED] Error 905 when downloading large apps

Recently got the unlocked Galaxy S6 but every time I've tried to download large apps (Asphalt 8 and Monument Valley) from the Play Store I've been getting an error 905. I've erased cache and cleared data from the Play Store but it keeps doing it. Had to refund Monument Valley, in fact. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I've got the 32GB version by the way. I've searched for this error but it seems to only have affected old devices where internal memory was a problem.
Edit: I solved this by keeping the screen on while downloading and installing Asphalt 8 and not using the device till it had finished installing.

Is it the Play Store being FC'd due to RAM being full?

Yeah i think so poor ram management and 5.0 memory leak issues all have summed up hoping a fix soon in 5.1

In my case the Play Store was not force closing, no. But I figured it could be related to memory leak issues since everything worked when I kept the play store on top and did not use the phone. And yes, hopefully it will be fixed with the 5.1 update.
Edit: I am the OP and have just remembered my old account.

Sometimes my Galaxy freezes and reboots when I install or update something from Play Store, I think that is a RAM issue.

i have the same issue...i can't download mortal kombat x!! are you disable screen sleep?

I have a completely different phone (LG Optimus L1 II, Android 4.1.2) and I found this thread while looking for the solution. It could be a problem with the current version of google play, since it happens on different devices with different android versions.
Edit: I found more threads about this by looking at the google results for the error 905 on the last week:
google.c om/search?q=google+play+error+905&tbs=qdr:w
(this is my second post, so I can't add links yet. remove the space on the .com)
I think that doing any system-related thing (installing an application, enabling root for an app, etc) makes the error show up

clear the cache and data of your play store app, and then restart your device. you can find detailed guide and explanation about this on http://technogiga.com/how-to-solve-error-905-in-android/

I've got the same problem on my Note 4 on KitKat... So it's probably something with the Play Store not Android.

In my case this did not work, however, keeping the device awake and staying on the same screen worked. I guess it's a memory problem.

Might be a Samsung problem.

If you read the thread, someone had the problem on their G3. So obviously it's either Android or Play Store causing the problem. I'm guessing it's the Play Store because it's happening across different Android versions.

Error 905
This happens after the new playstore update if we keep the screen on and stay on the play store the download completes
Tried with the old playstore version this problem doesnt arises :crying:

I am on Android 5.0.2 (LG G2) and the same thing happened to me. I followed the advise of keeping the screen on and keeping Play Store in the foreground and it worked.

Ive had this problem since day one, i try everthing, clearing cache, reinstalling the playstore, removing my google account, hard reset the phone, everything and after all that and the tests that i made i came up to notice that the problem was the memory, once the phone reach a high memory usage the playstore will close and the download will fail, if u keep ur phone with out ram consuming apps ull be able to download any apps without the need to keep the screen on and the playstore active.. so this an android problem to me and the memory management on lolipop.

so what's the best solution?

Theres no actual sulotion, u cant just try to clear the memory and then try to download the apps u need or u can just leave the screen on and put the playstore on top of all and dont use the phone at all. untill the app that u need has finish downloading.

same problem here on s6 and z3... so its a playstore issue

i have the same error

unable to download mortal kombat x too

Play store apps "not compatible"

Came across 2 apps today that I get "your device isn't compatible with this version" messages. These are 2 apps I use on my axon 7 with Android 7.0 so I know they work with nougat. I've tried deleting the cache and data for the play store and Google services but still the same. Anyone have this issue or any ideas on how to stop it? Also can anyone else check the "apple music" app and see if they can install it?

Some apps just won't be compatible until the developer(s) make the app compatible specifically for the Mate 9. However, I was able to download the Apple Music app.

Well that's interesting. I'm running the us version of the phone fully stock so what would be preventing me from installing it? My play store version is 7.5.08.M-all Phone software MHA-L29567B138
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk

Are these 2 apps on Play Store the same versions of those you used on your axon 7 with Android 7.0?
As I know, some apps will not work with Android 7.0 until their developers have distributed the latest versions and have made them compatible with nougat.

Yes, in fact I just uninstalled them on my axon 7 and reinstalled them to verify them

Decided to reset the phone this morning and see if that fixed it. Before any updates took I was able to install the 2 apps showing as incompatible, however after about 10 minutes they went back to "your device isn't compatible with this version". I uninstalled the updates to the Google Play Store as well as Google Play Services and they still said "your device isn't compatible with this version" even though I checked the Play store build number and it was the same before the update and after uninstalling the update. Some update somewhere is causing a compatibility issue and I'm not sure what it is. I may have to reset the device again and not update any of the built in apps like Gmail, Youtube, etc. and hopefully catch whats causing it.
Edit: Reset again and everything was fine. Google play store was on version 7.4.12.L.all [0] [pr] 144479971 and remained there. Installed one of the apps I was having trouble with then updated system apps one at a time. After each system app I checked the other incompatible app and everything was good. Then after updating google maps the app went back to "your device isn't compatible with this version" so I uninstalled the maps update and cleared the cache and data and the app remained "your device isn't compatible with this version" . The play store stayed on version 7.4.12.L.all [0] [pr] 144479971 and play services never updated from what I could tell. This and some of the software bugs are becoming a bit aggravating. Really hoping the update comes soon and fixes some of the issues.

It's a DPI issue...You have to set display view to large, then install whatever apps you want, then set back to small or medium. That should fix for you.

Well I was hoping that would fix it but it didn't. I set the display view to large, rebooted. That didn't work so I cleared the play store and play services cache and that didn't do it either. Lastly I cleared the play store and play services data and rebooted and that didn't work either.
I'm not sure what's causing it since both the play store and play services are the exact same versions on my mate 9 and axon 7.
Edit: OK this is just stupid. I put the view back to small and font back to normal (where I've had it this whole time except to try the above fix) and now the app allowed me to install it. I don't know what fixes it but at least it's working lol.

Having this same issue with Amazon Store App. Works fine on my PixelXL and Nexus 6P...but for some strange reason, I cannot install it on my Mate 9. Go figure. It's really the ONLY app I'm having this issue with. All my other play store apps installed fine, and my settings and logins work fine. But for the life of me - I cannot install the Amazon Store app, even thought I have successfully installed the Amazon Kindle app. too strange....

Have you tried changing the display size? That definitely has something to do with it and even though for me it didnt work at first it definitely solved the issue. Change it to large, reboot and try, if no go wipe the play store data and play services data and reboot and try again. Keep changing the display size after that and eventually it will work. For me I had given up and set my device back to small which is where it originally was and out of nowhere it worked.
Now if they could just resolve Hulu without having to contact customer service things would be great.
