Error with Google Play Services and the Play Store - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I just upgraded to Lollipop using a pre-rooted zip. It seems to be working well however I have hit a significant road block. When I first booted I had a notification instructing me to update Google Play services, however no progress was being made within the Play Store app. I have other pending updates that will not update as well. I have tried manually downloading the correct Play Services and Play Store apps however I continue to have issues (updates are hanging at "downloading"). I have noticed some wonky behavior in general which I believe is related to Play services not working correctly. I have attempted to Force close them and wipe the cache and data for each, including Framework and the Download manager, but this doesn't seem to have fixed anything. I also attempted to remove my Google account and re-enter it.
Does anyone have an advice before I factory reset? I am really trying to avoid this. Thanks in advance.
Update: Welp. I couldn't figure it out and so I thought a factory reset would fix it. WRONG. I have no idea what is going on but I have factory reset the phone and I am still having this issue. I am seriously at a loss.

Play store force closing, can not sign into google no matter what rom

So as the title says, the Play Store force closes. Now I bet your thinking "This idiot. Why doesn't he just look around! The answer is somewhere!", but its a bit more complicated than that. The issue started after I applied the 2.17 ruu, flashed 4ext recovery then I flashed Wild for the night cm10. I was able to sign into my google account at that point in time, but the Play Store kept force closing. I tried clearing cache and data, I checked the download manager and it was enabled. I disabled it for the heck of it, got an immediate foce close of the play store then re-enabled it. Still no luck. So I figured maybe it was just the rom. I flashed MIUI v5. Same issue. I thought is was a JB issue. So I tried MIUI v4. Still same issue. So with no more ideas I ran the latest RUU. Guess what. It STILL FORCE CLOSES!!! I tried clearing data&cache for the play store again, no luck. So I figured if I go back to gingerbread and now I cant even sign into my google account for gmail!!!
I am at a COMPLETE loss. I even called google and they couldn't give anymore than basic advice. So if anyone has any ideas on what to do, please help!!!
Thank you for taking the time to read my jibberish.
EDIT: Well I let the phone update itself and now I can sign into google and also open the play store. NOW, the issue is error 912. I removed my account and resigned in, clear everything again and nothng.
you may have the wrong gaps flashed. if you know you have the right ones, try to download them and flash them again
Why dont you try the cracked play store installer??

Google Play Services Stopped etc.

Randomly today, I keep getting persistent popups that say Google Play services has stopped and another one involving com.google something about location I believe.
I have not touched my phone hardly at all today, haven't installed anything or changed any settings etc. Have tried rebooting phone, to no avail. Any help? Thanks
I think there was a update to google play services taking it to version 5 in the past day or two, maybe you got a dodgy update or it is conflicting with another app. Maybe try clearing data for play services then reboot the phone.
Thanks for the reply. Tried that to no avail. This is maddening.

Same thing happens to me as well, i can't figure out the cause. the other one is com.google.something.location.service
I am also getting this randomly since the latest Play services update 2-3 days back, mostly for the Dash app.
I been having Google+ force close even if cache and data clear
Having exact same problems. It also removes your Gmail account in back up and reset in settings. Only thing I did to make it stop was uninstall the update and reboot and won't update until google fixs the problem, idiots! I don't understand why they haven't pulled the update or updated the update by now.
Mine pops up every 2-3 seconds. I can't even make calls or text without wanting to throw my Z2 into the East River. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped, appears to be location related

I keep getting this error and it seems to only happen when accessing location. I have a Tasker rule to have location turned off and it only turns on for certain apps that require it (Maps, Google Now, Espn apps, etc), every time I open those apps and the rule gets executed this error pops up. I've searched this problem and tried every suggestion, wipe cache/data, uninstall updates, factory reset, reset app defaults, install previous version, nothing seems to work. Version 5.2 seems to not give me the error, but certain Google apps won't function without the updated version, and even if I live without them, Play Services just updates itself (despite turning Auto-Updates off and detaching it from the Market in TB). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it's an irritating error to frequently receive.
Same problem
I have this exact problem and like the OP have tried everything. Nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated!

I finally figured out what was causing it, I had a Location Consent Disabler mod that was causing it. The new version of Play Services lets you select not to show the pop up again making the mod obsolete. If you have that mod, uninstall and it should go away
Hey I too had the same mod. thanks for point it out.

[Q] Problem with play store. FC + No connection.

Hello people!
I've been through alot of solutions and i still couldn't fix it. Hence this thread.
An hour ago i started my regular update run, updating 6 apps. After updating the first app, play store force closed. This didn't happen to me for ages, so i thought let's start by clearing the cache of download manager and google play store. This didn't work, so i tried uninstalling the updates. and rebooting the phone.
At this point play store worked again, so i tried updating another app. But after this updating, the fc was back. So i repeated the cache clearing and found somewhere that if i did that with google framework, play would probably come back. But it didn't.
So after this i rebooted again and started google play. And it started. But now things got worse. Google play gives me a no connection retry since then. Even after clearing dalvik and rebooting again.
So i guess my question is clear. How do i get play working again on my phone?
Thanks in advance for answering!
P.s. I also found a solution which said to remove and add the google account, but on my xperia z1 with 4.4.4 i can't seem to find that option?

Google Play Services stopped responding

Ok so I have been having this issue since I got on 5.1.1 removed my google account (forget the exact reason why) and when I go and try to add it again I keep getting a ”Google pay services has stopped responding” I have cleared data on google services framework, google account manager, google play store, google play service and also google play games just for good measure. When I click add account it goes to a screen and says "Checking info" with a bar going across the screen. Then it stops less then 5 seconds later saying google play services stopped responding. Occasionally when I clear the data on the programs above I will get to a screen that says "just one sec" after the checking info one however it still doesn't work.
I have already tried a factory reset, have cleared everything through fast boot and then reinstalled 5.1.1 its been doing it since I've gotten on 5.1.1 never did this on a custom ROM as well as 5.0.1/5.0.2. Anybody have any idea how to fix this? A lot of things are unusable without a account set up. I'm pretty stumped honestly. Have also tried reinstalling google play services and the play store. I am rooted, custom kernel, TWRP. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
