Hey,
So i sent my Sony Xperia Z3 off for repair, which they refused due to a tiny dink on the side of the phone. They sent me back the phone and it does not have ANY google services on it. I've looked in apps in settings and there is no google service showing there. I have no internet browser on the phone either. I've tried restoring back to factory settings with no luck and cannot install any apps on it. I've tried a few different google play services apk's but all i have tried, install then says google play services stopped working. I may not be installing the correct ones?? There are so many different versions of the APK that i don't know which one that i need. Please can someone help me get the phone sorted so i can install apps onto it.
It is a Sony Xperia Z3 Model number D6603, Processor - Qualcomm MSM8974PRO-AC, Android version - 4.4.4, Baseband Version - 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00005-05, Build number - 23.0.A.2.93
If you need any other info please just ask but i only want to use this phone to put things on for the kids and without the google services i can't!
Thank you in advance

Help, for some reason I can't make google play work on my Z2(l50u).
I bought this phone in china during a holiday and when I come back to the UK, I attempt to make google apps work.
I downloaded the Google Play apk and I also installed Googleservicesframework.apk and Googleloginservice.apk.
But things didn't go well.
First the Google Services app crashes repeatedly (even moving it using system/app mover didn't work.)
I moved the other 2 to system/app and rebooted.
I was able to login into my google account, but there was no sync options.
Google play doesn't have any connection to the internet(I don't think this was a connection issue, as all my other Uk brought devices all work and my router has no issues.)
I have obviously rooted my device using easy root toolkits and I have busybox as well. But I can't find any flash/firmware support for my device at all D:
What I wanted to download CM 11 M9, but there is no support for my L50u, only the D503
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi guys, yesterday I try to pick latest google services and google play store on latest apk website call apkmirror.. And after installing it.. I notice that every rating turn into 1 star
I am using samsung s6 edge
And the version of apk I am installing is 8.2.99 (google service)
What I did wrong.. Is there a solution or I need to do a factory reset? :'(
Hi,
I did one time the same update as you from apkmirror and won't do it anymore. Too many errors from play services even after deleting cache/data/reboot, etc..
From my standpoint, either you reinstall another version to test (like downgrading), either better to do a factoring reset ... and never do it again ;-p
Hello
I´m confused about the following thing:
When opening Google App in Play Store on my z3 device OR with browser on desktop, i got a message that the app is not compatible with my devices!
So what happend?
Can anyone open the play store and search for Google App?
This is the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
On my tablet z4, the newest version is installed but also nothing to see in play store list or after a search for google app...
Is this a normal thing?
Greetings,
SirRobin
It works fine for me.
You may need to let people know if you are rooted and what ROM you are on. This may be a build.prop issue
I´m currently on stock Sony ROM without root or anything else - both for z4 tablet and z3 Smartphone.

Try logging out of google, clear cache on play store, and log back into google.
Google app in play store
I got the same thing today on both phone and tablet. Hope Google fix it
Google app in play store
Signed out of google. Cleared cache and data. Signed back in to google. Seems OK now.
I have a problem with the Google App and the Google Now Launcher.
Both the notification and navigation bars are solid colours (light blue and black respectively). This happened overnight when I switched ROMs and I haven't found a fix yet.
I am having the same problem. My Sony xperia Z3 doesn't have a default search engine and play store or apps store
Hi guys, i just got my mi box a few days a go and i'm struggling to make it work properly.
I seem to be unable to install apps from google play store, it starts downloading and then fails on endless errors, 400/403/920 and so on...
My network is just fine, i have other tv box connected, apple tv, computers, phones, everything works well on all other devices.
The play store tends to through me error that the network is disconnected though its not.
I somehow managed to side load netflix and latest youtube version - they stream 4K without any problem - so i know for sure the network is fine.
Also, i tried updating to latest firmware (beta, from here: https://beebom.com/how-update-mi-box-android-nougat/) - no help either, still the same issues.
I've also tried every procedure out there, clear cache/data of the play services and play store, uninstall account, create a new google account, nothing seems to work.
It seems that play store is not the only issues, i side loaded gmail - same issues there, same for google drive.
I also tried installing latest versions of play services and play store from apk mirror - no help either.
I'm lost, not sure what else i can do to get it work.
Help will be appreciated, i can maybe try to install a new rom but no idea where to get one from.

Hi,
I purchased a new phone a Motorola Edge S (hardware SKU XT2125-4), unfortunately it is a China ROM phone which means it didn't come with Google play store. This was side loaded and I am able to install apps from google. But I have SO many issues with this and I am hoping someone has something helpful to actually use this phone
1. When I try to use Google setup a nearby device (to transfer everything over to this phone), it simply can't find my new phone (despite having bluetooth and location on for both phones
2. I can't restore contacts from google drive even though I can connect
3. I downloaded the MAGISK app, however the file browser is unable to install as the app is not allowed. The toggle to trust the app can not be changed.
I am at a loss as to how to actually use this phone as essentially it's useless at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
It is already running Android Version 11
Baseband version M55_HI20_209.334.01.60R NIO_PVT_SUPERSDS_CUST
Kernel Version 4.19.136-perf+
Build Number RRN31.Q1-20-17-6
I can provide any / all other information if needed
If the solution is to root the phone, I'm ok with that too, but see point 3.
I'm in the same situation. Purchased the XT2125 as well. Got the Google stuff working by side loading the play store, services and framework. However, initially, while everything else was working, the contacts wouldn't sync. After a few hours of searching, finally came across an article which said that I also needed to side load an apk called google contacts sync and give it permission. Contacts started syncing after that. Fast forward a couple of days and a system update later, SMS are delivered with really long delays and outbound ones fail. Google maps crashes constantly and navigation just doesn't work. I don't know what to do with this phone now honestly, since I need Google maps navigation on a regular basis. Have tried reinstalling maps, resetting permissions, clearing cache and data but nothing seems to work. And with the SMS delay, I can't sign on our complete transactions on a lot of apps because the SMS usually arrives after such a delay that the code has expired. Feels like such a waste of money this phone even though it's supposed to be great bang for the buck.
I am hopeful that when they release the Moto G100 (same phone actually), that we will be able to flash it with this ROM to make it usable.

Wait it's like that with motorola too
I thought it's only like that with xiaomi
Seems like even with motorola it doesn't come with google apps if it's a china rom
Though it was only with xiaomi where if it's a china rom it doesn't come with any google apps guess im wrong

Yeah, I think it's being released in a couple of days. Anyway, I did a factory reset and the maps issues sorted out. Had to go through the pain of sideloading google again but the device is being shown as google play certified, but yeah, would be nice to just have the international rom on it.
Were you able to make any headway with your device? I didn't put a sim in mine but the rest of it seems to be working ok, except Youtube Vanced isn't signing in with a google account.
