I had the same issue. Took me a while to figure out that it's Chrome.
But since I used one account on this phone I didn't know about that problem until some magisk module f*d up my encryption keys and I could boot by phone, so I had to format in TWRP.
It gave me an error during Setup wizard, I managed to bypass it by deleting setup wizard but still my phone was useless.
My guess is that Google uses Chrome's WebView implementation for logging in.
In developer options you can't switch to default android WebView, option is grayed out, so unfortunately Chrome must be kept.

Did you try to log in in a different Google account after you removed those apps?

[Q] Cannot save Google+ settings

I'm not quite sure what I did, but Google+'s settings are not saving. Every time I open the app, it asks me if I want to sync contacts and have it backup my images. Every time. Every time I take a picture, I get a notification that it can backup my images, even though I told it no! I have a theory as to how this broke (I think it was when I tried to "integrate" the Google Play Services update into my ROM), but I cannot figure out how to fix it.
I have an LG Optimus F3 (rooted). I was using Titanium Backup to "integrate updates into ROM", when I accidentally told it to integrate the "Google Play Services" update into the ROM. This caused Google Play Services to immediately crash. I waited like 20 minutes, but Titanium Backup never progressed. I rebooted.
Google Play Services is crashing whenever I try to do anything. I managed to get into Titanium Backup to uninstall it. This stopped it from crashing. After a reboot, I opened Google+ and it asked me to update Google Play Services. I let the Play Store download and re-install Google Play Services.
This let Google+ open, and it wasn't crashing anymore, but now Google+ is unable to save its settings. I tried to convert the newly re-installed Google Play Services to a system app, but that didn't fix anything.
I have not yet tried to re-install Google+ because it's a system app, and I don't wanna break anything even more.
How can I get Google+'s settings to stick? How can I fix Google Play Services?
P.S. Is there an LG Optimus F3 forum? I couldn't find it.

[Q] Google Play - how to link apps?

I had to change the user on the phone without resetting it.
So I added another google account and ended up with 2 accounts. Then removed the old account. Some of the apps got uninstalled and some of the data in other apps dissapeared, which is ok.
Phone works fine. Everything functions but there's one problem.
If I open "installed apps" in GooglePlay I get nothing. No apps installed. I can install a new app and it'll show up there. but all the basic stuff is gone. So Maps, Gmail, Chrome etc are not showing up there. So obviously they won't get updated ever. I understand that I can uninstall and reinstall them and they'll appear, but
Is there a way to link all the existing apps on the phone to the Play Store so they can get updates?
The phone is rooted.

Clear Play store / services : data/cache/dalvik and you shoule be fine again.
I forgot to mention - I tried to clear data on google play services, play store and google services framework yesterday.
After a reboot opened playStore and it asked to accept the terms and still didn't show anything.

Outdated google play installed with accounts manager

Hi,
So i was searching for methods to atleast help me login to some apps including taking a backup of my whatsapp chats to google drive.
I came across this :
Run snapchat without google services and without rooting
(1) Download and install snapchat from www.mediafire.com/download/00hbnrp11bmq6jk/Snapchat_9.7.2.0.apk (can download latest version from other places too but i have tested on this version)
(2)download google framework from https://sourceforge.net/projects/se...2.A.0.42/GoogleServicesFramework.apk/download
(3)download google Account Manager from www.mediafire.com/download/lho1jmw49k1gpqq/Google+Account+Manager_4.4.2-940549.apk
(4) download google play services from www.mediafire.com/download/ounh79r7av7da71/Google+Play+services_7.3.29+(1866531-036).apk
(5) Now install first google firmware than google manager and in the end google play service
(6) Restart your mobile (note your mobile may give error that google play service stopped ignore that and click cancel)
(7) now download and install google play store from www.mediafire.com/download/n2z2smxttttt7m7/Google+Play+Store_5.4.12.apk
(8) open playstore and login your account than close play store
(7) Now open snapchat and login your account you would be loged in but app will stop working
(8) After that go to application manager in your mobile and delete google play service, google playstore and google firmware
(9) Run snapchat and you are done
(10) Update your snapchat from any market you use after that if you want
Tested on Nokia X X2 and XL.
After following all this with exactly the same apk's i could manage to login to a gmail ID on the phone via the google accounts manager but every time i open an app that needs services, it would ask me to update the google play services.
So experimentally i updated the play store and services apk's and snapchat still refused to let me login but a different error this time(I feel it comes under their "against tweak" parameters.
Also whatsapp detects the google account but goes on forever authenticating the account, so im sure there is an issue communicating with google serves here.
Let me know if this thread makes any sense, or else it can be deleted. Thanks.

here, but i doubt as much as we try, it wont work, because theres something related to tencent thats blocking google play services from communicating or even running because it keeps crashing.

Why We need to have GMS?

Hello,
I would like to open some discussion regarding the GMS and all workarounds and restoring unknown backups! if you check the info.xml file within any of these backups you would find model, build, identification, and serials different from what you have!! and running some Chinese application that has devices administrator with all privileges on your devices!
I know that vanced youtube is using microg project for adding google account. is it possible to have something similar for chrome and maps? I mean microg-chrome or microg-maps?
Thanks
Edge , Firefox , opera .
Here navigation. Magic earth .
Ratio launcher.
I was having issues with some location based apps. For instance google maps and a dating/hookup app. Google Maps would open and then immediately force close. The dating app would say that this app cant run without google play services which your device is not eligible for. What I did: Factory reset phone-install GMS-Made sure all of my accounts were logged into-Installed all apps that I wanted from play store-Then I used an app to freeze google play services and Google services framework-uninstalled the play store.
I then opened my dating app and bam it worked where as before it couldnt detect my location. All was good with that. As far as Google Maps it would still immediately force close, so I uninstalled it. I installed an earler version of Google Maps before my mate 30 pro 5g was released and bam. It worked. My account is logged into and Maps works perfectly with no force closes. I tested it twice now as far as navigation goes. I also had a problem with the Google Voice app. It said having problems retrieving your accounts. This was before I used an app to freeze Google services framework and play services. When I opened Google voice after the freeze, everything went perfect and it recognized my accounts.
As far as apps goes I use petal search to find any apps or apkpure.
Hope this helped!
By the way here is the freeze app that I used. Just follow the instructions to install and then freeze those two Google apps:

Cannot login in the apps with google services on phone

I have google play working on my phone (or at least I think so ) and the google maps stopped working a while ago, they were working before, the app closes.
But I can still get in to the playstore and download apps there, the problem is when I go to the app downloaded I have to login or create account and it says that I don't have google play services and I can't login or create accounts ( so I cannot use the app).
Any ideas or tips in what I should do? I love this phone and I would like to love it more! Any comments are really useful thanks:laugh:.

you can put a picture ?
Looks like you simply blocked those annoying notifications from Google Play services. Redo the process of gms installation. This time make it properly, you shouldn't see notifications from past services.
You don't need to start from scratch, use Googlefier and Fix option.
