How i can change my IEMI on my phone (nokia 3.1 plus),
Or use another IEMI by some apps like Parallel space.
Note that the other apps has a many problem with google play services, therefore the google fit app dose not count any step, ONLY parallel space and Parallel space lite could open and run google fit and google play services successfully.
i need apps like parallel space work very good and in the same time it changed the IEMI number.

A couple of days ago I phoned Google Play Support to report that several apps were missing from My Apps tab in Google Play (web and app). What they suggested was that I should download the apps again and then they would be showing in the respective tab.
I tried what they suggested but it simply couldn't be performed (Google Play simply doesn't allow it).
Then I sent the following e-mail to them:
I tried downloading again the apps that are no longer showing in My Apps tab and looks like the problem is still there.
My Google Play app version (at least on my smartphone) is 4.3.11 and I'm running AndroidOS 4.3.
I have 4 groups of apps:
1 - Free apps downloaded from Google Play;
2 - Apps purchased from Google Play;
3 - Free apps downloaded from other services (Amazon, etc.);
4 - Apps purchased from other services (Amazon, etc.).
I have 2 devices connected to my google account ([email protected]): a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S III) and a tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1).
These 4 groups can still be divided into 2 groups each: apps that are and that aren't installed in my devices at the moment. So that would total 8 groups.
I tried the solution you suggested earlier: downloading the apps again.
However, I am facing the following problem: at least for apps from groups 1 and 2, that are still installed in my devices, Google play won't let me download them again (neither from the site nor from the app) because looks like they're already installed in my device(s). For instance, the app "Plague Inc.". I installed it a few days ago. Then I bought the in-app ad-free key. It's installed only on my tablet. If I try to install it again from the app in the device, it simply won't let me because it's already installed in it. If I try to install it again from the Google Play site the device will be greyed out (not available) because the app is already installed in the device.
This happens for all apps in groups 1 and 2 that are still installed in the devices.
Looks like the solution would be to uninstall and re-install it. However, I don't want to run the risk of losing all my data (progress).
Because the apps don't show in My Apps tab of the Google Play (app or site) a consequence (for the games only) is that they don't show in the Google Play Games app.
This is my main concern: the games. The Google Play Games app, intended to the a hub for android games, can't show the games I own (installed or not) because they are no longer in my Google Play history (My Apps tab). And, as a consequence, the data (progress, achievements, multiplayer gaming possibility, etc.) won't be available for me.
This is my first problem.
A second problem is: how does Google Play and Google Play Games handle the apps (especially games) from groups 3 and 4? They're not showing too.
This is really upsetting me.
How can we sort it out?
Thank you for listening to me and thank you in advance.
Well, friends, I guess you're my last resort. I've tried Google Play Support Team and their suggestion was to uninstall all my apps and then install them again.
I really don't think this is very intelligent... Do you have any suggestions?

Any suggestions?
We have a survey GPS at work that runs android on the data collector handheld. Android has been customized by the manufacturer and none of the google apps or much else are on there except their software. I tried copying apk files for google play and some other programs and installing them from download folder but after installing them they either open and immediately close or say they require google play services. The unit is running 4.4.2. Is there a way i can get google play to work on this so i can install some other apps? Thanks
I have Samsung galaxy a50 ( a505f). I disable or removed all possible google products. I only use google play services and google play store. I do not use any google product. No gmail,youtube calender or sync android. If i also disable google play services and google play store + remove my google account from phone and instal apps from Amazon, appstore,appgalery or as apk from my browser. How will this affect my phone? And i do not know if apps i downloaded not from playstore gonna work normal and stabil. Notifications will work normal??? Are there any apps do not work without google play services? I know google cloud messaging is important. It looks like i only need google cloud messasing for now. How to replace gcm?? Without root.
Installing apps from outside of Google Play Store is a surefire way to put yourself in danger. By installing apps from third-party stores, you're bypassing security measures put in place to vet apps for malware threats, making it much easier for a hacker to infiltrate your device with an infected app .
Here on xda many people using root or open source apps. Let's say i bought a new phone and i did not add google account. I removed all possible google apps. I disabled all other google services i can not remove. I downloaded apps as apk files. Will apps update or send push notifications normally? That is all i need to learn. The apps i use are outlook,twitter,signal,telegram,duckduckgo,yandex navi,onedrive and samsung cloud for sync and back up. I do not use any google apps or facebook,whatsapp,instagram, messenger. I just do not know what will be effected with removing google account from phone and disabling google play services. I just need few apps keep sending notifications.

At the very least scan any apks you intend to side load online with Virustotal. Just downloading them onto an Android without installing them isn't without risk. I side load only 2 or 3 apks from trusted sources.
You can download from Playstore then disable it, all apps will still function. I do this all the time.
Google Play Services* is needed for Playstore to run as well as some none Google apps.
You can then use ApkExport to copy your apps so you don't need to use Playstore next time you need to reload the OS. You save system apk updates as well so a full reload is possible with little or no internet connection. I store these on my SD card but a PC can be used.
Use Karma Firewall to block all the Google junk.
You can easily enable apks if needed.
It's freeware and uses very little battery.
*block Google Play Services with Karma Firewall when not using Playstore. A reboot will be needed after it's enabled for Playstore to work. GPS will waste battery by constantly connecting to the internet (4 times @ minute) if not firewall blocked.
After debloating the N20U (unlocked, Android 11/One UI 3.0), I removed the Google Play Store and Google Play Services.
I kept Google Services Framework installed because after uninstalling it (Android 10 and up), I noticed losing the function to move apps to external storage.
Since I uninstalled Google Play Services, I no longer can transfer files via bluetooth, Samsung's Quick Share or Wi-Fi Direct.
Bluetooth can connect to other devices (example: bluetooth speaker) and works.
Does anyone know a solution to this other than reinstalling Google Play Services?
What is UnifiedNip? I noticed it listed in my installed F-droid apps when Google Play Services is installed on the phone.
Will it work on an unrooted phone/Android 11 and provide location services?
I tried one of the apps listed in F-droid, but it could not locate the devices (had device discovery on) to transfer files via bluetooth.
After resetting Network settings, I was able to transfer files via bluetooth from the N20U to the N9 by pairing the devices, turning on Nearby device scanning, and Location.
Cannot figure out how to use Samsung's Quick Share w/out Google Play Services installed. Haven't tested Samsung's Private Share yet to see if it will work (both devices require SIM...)
Use a package disabler, enable as needed and/or Karma Firewall to block it as needed.
I leave GPS enabled but firewall block it unless needed. Framework and Google Backup Transport are always disabled (on my 10+ running on Pie this causes no issues).
Running apks from the SD card is counterproductive.
Instead try using the SD card as a data drive and the internal memory for apks and downloads.
Thank you, @blackhawk!
I have used NetGuard (F-droid version) as a firewall, and wondered if it would be okay to use?
I have the Google Services Framework on my device, but uninstalled Google Play Services and the Play Store via adb.
If Google Play Services is installed on a device, can it be disabled using a package disabler without causing issues?
Have the pro version of Package Disabler, but have noticed that people have had problems using it on Android 11.

You're welcome. I would not uninstall Google Play Services. Gmail needs it and likely has other dependencies as well.
Firewall blocking it effectively cuts down its battery usage. Rather than package block it I firewall block it* and enable it as needed.
A package blocker is probably better than using ADB because you can enable/disable on the fly with a reboot being needed at the most.
*I tried it both ways. Package blocking it was overkill.
I am going to follow your much appreciated advice by reinstalling Google Play Services and using NetGuard to block it, @blackhawk .
Does Google collect location information on a device if you do not login w/ your Google account?

I don't trust it at all, one of the reasons I keep it Firewall blocked except when needed.
If you go into your Google account in settings you can tone it down. Go through all it's settings including the online ones, for gmail and gmaps. Disable auto sync for gmail; sync manually as needed.
Disable and firewall block Google Backup Transport and Framework unless you use Google backup. Same for all cloud junk unless you use it. Disable Google, carrier and Samsung feedback as it just wastes your resources and bleds info.
It's a mess...
After installing Dual Space, Ive been able to install and access the Google play store, google photos, youtube, gmail, maps etc
it sets up a virtual machine with GMS and works a treat
It can be found at https://dualspace.en.uptodown.com/android
It does for a period of a few days then you'll find apps just stop working and you constantly have to uninstall and reinstall dual space. You're also giving an amazing amount of access to your phone and data to what is really an unknown company.. Gspace is another very similar app to dual space and look at its classification : https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/339890/0/html
I installed Dual Space and since this i get spam on my google mail.....wtf
Sometimes it's not working, very buggy, you can use GSPACE instead
I am looking for a way to use "DKB Tan2Go Banking App", with Dual Space its working but.....
