[Help] No apps installed in Play Store - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My Play store stopped auto-updating my apps for some reason and I thought cleaning the cache (and eventually the data) will fix it. It didn't, it only made things worse.
Now under Installed there aren't any apps and in Library are only the apps that are not installed on this device.
I tried to logout and log back in my Google account, but nothing changed.. Any ideas how to sync the installed apps with Play Store?

Anyone?

Unknown issue with Google Play services - Gmail 5.0

Hi all,
I have this weird issue with the new Gmail 5.0 (updated directly from Play Store) and it keeps brining this message up and FC: Unknown issue with Google Play services. All the other Google apps work perfectly fine, it's just the new Gmail and Inbox that don't work.
Deleting the GmsCore.apk and re-installing via Play Store is not an option as it wouldn't let me in the Store then. I am running LegacyXperia CM11 on my Xperia Ray. I should mention that I side-loaded an updated services apk from apkmirror.com, perhaps, someone can upload their Google Play services apk?
Help will be appreciated. :good:
Gee Mail
Just received the update and get the same issue. Now can't use GMail at all.
I have the same issue too.
But I was using the ART, and I can open the gmail app after switched back to dalvik VM.
I will stop using ART in (4.4)m which has many compatibility issue (even with google!) , fallback to dalvik VM and wait until Lollipop.

I'm on stock rom 4.3 so it's not an ART issue.
Do you suffer from space insufficiency?
Are you trying to cure that thing by moving applications that get updated from /data/app to /system/app?
If yes then this might be your problem. Here is what I had.
With latest Google play services update all Google apps (Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Inbox by gmail) were working fine.
Then I needed space so I took the updated Google services apk which took a lot of space in my data partition and moved it to my system partition where its predecessor used to be. I did it completely well using root explorer and checking all tricky parts. I should mention that I study computer engineering and I've been into android more than 5 years so I know my way around.
Immediately after the transfer:
YouTube didn't load anything.
Gmail showed me the same message as you.
Maps force closed.
Inbox by gmail showed me a message of "oops something went wrong please try again later".
It is now my understanding that Google play services has become a very sensitive application that sadly should not be messed with. Especially with a completely redesigned and revamped app such as gmail 5.0 or inbox by gmail. They are just not THAT compatible yet to be able to keep working together after they've been moved around inside partitions.
My suggestion find the latest .zip of "pa gapps" flash it, update the apps that need updating and leave them as they are. They should work like that.
That aint it either

I'm afraid not. This is just an standard install of stock rom no root and certainly not moving files in system areas. All that's happened is I allowed to install the Gmail update then EPIC FAIL.
I have Gmail 5.0 (1569867) and Google Play Services 6.1.88 (1557022-036)
Guys, any update on this? It's getting really annoying to constantly reflash my rom from time to time... Is it possible that Google failed this much?
remove and reinstall the Google play services solved problem.
I've the same issue here but in a very custom rom, thought was my fault
Gee Music
Now after receiving an update of Google Music I now get a permanent notification saying "Unknown issue with Google Play services. Requested by Google Play Music'
So folks what do we do? Uninstall updates? Disable? Will rolling back break the rest of Android?
We have lift off!
Well what do you know? Suddenly my Gmail & Google Play Music now works. Hang on I didn't get any update notifications on these two apps.
Wait a minute, my Google Play Services has been stealthily updated to 6.5.87 (1599771-036)
Thanks Google. Sneaky.
Had the same issue
I had the same issue this two days Gmail wasn't working at all and Hangout was working but for every action i was taking it was giving me the error Unknown issue with Google Play Services and i found out the in my case the problem was Link2SD so what i did was unlinking Google Play Store and Google Play Services than i uninstalled Google Play Services and installed it againn but didn't linked them and error was gone.
The conclusion on my case was linking the app to sd card was causing the error.
Thanks

In may case turns out that I had a version of "google play services" for Android 5.0+ instead of for Android 2.3+.
I did install "google play services" with "System app unistaller" and install the recommended version at gappsandroid.blogspot.com/2015/01/download-google-play-services-apks.html.
Note: In order to uninstall "google play services" "Adndroid devide manager" must be off in System -> Security -> Device administrators. Re-enabled it after install the correct "google play services" version.
Hope that helps

I have the same issue .
what unlinking means?
This is also just happened to me this morning. Suddenly my calendar and GMail stop working and prompting the error "Unknown error in Google Play Services".
I tried to remove and re-add the Google account but no success. Clearing cache and application data also no luck for me.
I tried to Google this case and one of the guy suggesting to do these following steps and it works for me:
1. Untick the Android Device Manager from Setting - Security - Device Administrator
2. Go to Setting - Apps then look for Google Play Services. Click on Uninstall updates.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open HangOut and it will prompt to update Google Play Services.
5. Update the google play services.
6. Done.
Now everything is working again for me.
Maybe you guys can try it. Hopefully it will helps.

Hangouts and play store don't work + constant 'Google Play services have stopped".

Hangouts and play store don't work + constant 'Google Play services have stopped".
Hello,
I am running CM12.1-20150604-NIGHTLY-m7 and I edited my build.prop and I messed up in it and it was stuck in a boot loop. So I reinstalled CM12.1 from TWRP and none of my GAPPS worked so I downloaded the lastest version and flashed it. After that still none of my apps worked so I went into Apps>All and disabled Google Services Framework. This allowed me to use every google app except for Hangouts which just crashed whenever I launch it, the Play Store which just says 'Check your connection and try again' and it always says 'Google Play Services has stopped'. I am able to use the Play store when I re-enable the Google Services Framework but every other google app says it has stopped working. I have cleared the cache several times and it never worked.
I hope I have provided enough info for you amazing people to help me fix my problem, thanks!

I keep getting 'Unfortunately xxx-app has stopped' errors

Yesterday I rebooted my phone to recovery mode to perform a new nandroid backup. Everything was fine but after having booted my phone again, I get a lot of "Unfortunately xxx-app has stopped" errors. Most of the time the apps are Gmail and Google Play Services but sometimes also Google Play Store and the app just named Google. For now it has never been Calendar, Hangouts, Drive or other Google apps.
Apart from the never-ending errors I have to click away, everything seems to be fine. I get e-mail notifications, I can update my apps etc. The errors seems to appear when the phone is syncing. For example when a new e-mail is received or when I'm writing and sending an e-mail. Also when I'm updating my apps, the errors are appearing. If I put the phone into flight mode there are no errors.
Of course I've tried to reboot my phone. I've also deleted cache and data from different Google apps like Gmail, Google Play Store, Google Play Services and the Google app. I've tried to uninstall the updates from the same Google apps and update again. I've booted to recovery mode and deleted cache and dalvik cache.
On Monday evening just before I went to bed, I rebooted my phone and there were no problems, and from the reboot on Monday evening to the reboot and nandroid backup yesterday I didn't install or update any apps so I haven't changed anything on my phone. Even though I've removed all my newest apps just to be sure it isn't related to a new app or an updated app.
Now I din't have more ideas... Please help me!

Either u accidentally deleted a system app or something is stopping Google play service apps wakelock Icing.
Is only google play app r crashing?

Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped.

Reset the phone. Connected to WiFi. Added my Google account. I let the phone update whatever apps that were necessary through Google Play store.
There is no Google Play Store listed in the apps so the suggestion of uninstall its updates won't work and clearing the data.
Tried deleting my Google account and re-adding it. Made no difference.
Any other ideas? Thanks for any help.

Rooted Lenovo z5 - google problem

Hi guys,
I have a huge problem with my rooted lenovo z5 (model L78011) with android 9 and ZUI 10.5.254.
I cant use any google app's - simply log in button doesn't work, or it's minimalizing all the time. Probably the reason is Google play services (when i uninstall it apps works, but i cant log in). Also there is a problem with creating google account in my phone.
I've tried to clear data, cache of google play services, framework and other google apps. Also restarted phone, used factory settings few times - still nothing. I used different versions of google play services and apps - still nothing. There is no any pop ups with error number etc.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Which version of google play services is recomennded for lenovo z5? Maybe i missed something.
