Google Play Store has stopped - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night I tried to open Google play to download an app and I got this error message "Google Play Store has stopped" I've tried every single solution I could find listed on the internet and I can't fix this issue.
I've cleared cache/data, made sure downloads app was enabled, reset app settings, disabled the play store, installed an earlier version using an apk, I even booted into safe mode and still I can't get Google Play Store to work.
I'm using an S9 G960F with Android version 8.0.0 Samsung Experience version 9.0, 1 June 2018 Security Patch Level
Play Store version is 11.1.30-all
Edit: Just realised that the Google App doesn't work either; when I open it it gives me the error: Google has stopped.

You did not say if Google would give option to log in? Sometimes if you disable Google acct & log back in that gets you back in?

Oh I forgot to mention I was running nano initiationally, so I installed pico & I think that helped too?

If you have any experience in flashing in twrp and stuff...
Then if you are rooted then uninstall all gapps in your rom by searching google in titanium backup....
Then downloads gapps for your android version and flash in recovery....
Not sure but hope this will work

Thanks to everyone that replied. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've just been busy with work and stuff. Anyway, it turns out the issue was caused by Swift Installer a theme app. I updated the theme overlay and it fixed the issues.

Force closing of Google Play Services and connected apps

Hi,
I'm on XtreStoLite 2.4 5.1.1 on my S6 edge for months now. All was working perfectly. Recently, GPS started crashing randomly, but except for the error, services and sync seemed to be working fine. Now ytdy armageddon started and now Google apps connected to GPS (search, keep, music, but not play store for example) will not run and get killed instantly.
What I did based on what ive found:
- deactivated play services, uninstalled updates and restored the account, GPS 9.0.83 (240-121911109)
- wiped cache/dalvik which helped for couple of minutes
appreciate any help!
I've had problems too with the latest play services on LG G4 H815 6.0 v20d. Google Play Services crashes non boot and Google Chrome crash after a few seconds of opening.
Uninstalling updates fixed it but I'm told by many apps that I need the latest version. I didn't wipe cache though.

True, stopped the apps from crashing, but made them unusable, even Inbox which worked just fined on the corrupted (?) version.

Got a fix. Google apps working. No force closes/errors. Root needed to prevent auto-update to latest version.
i) Get to the May 7th (or earlier) Play Services from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/
Look at the notes at the top to see which version you need arm or 64 ect.
In you're case, it's '240' so arm64 + arm android 5.0+ version. Direct download for you link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-9-0-81-240-121617224-android-apk-download//​ii) Enable airplane mode to prevent updates
iii) Then just install the apk on top of your rolled back version. Apks only install if version is newer.
iv) Using a root-enabled file manager like ES File Explorer, open \data\app and create two new, empty folders titled com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. This tricks Google into causing auto updating of your GPS to fail.
v) Reboot (important)
Optional) Set Google Play Services as a device administrator again under security settings for Device Manager features.
If you get an error during install, then follow this guide to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832

Edit: yep. Same here. When I turn internet back on, it updates to latest version. Try installing an older version.
I'll try and find another way to stop auto updates.
Same problem here, uninstalled services by titanium then installed back by apk and flashed open gapps, worked for me
None of those worked for me. Well, I used the opportunity to update XtreStoLite to MM, and problem disappeared, obviously
However, come to think of it, it could have sth to do with Amplify killing processes. Thing is, I didn't manipulate with anything there recently, but after activating xposed module on updated ROM i saw some crashes again. Anyway, I disabled it in any case now, want to see how the battery will last on the updated ROM, but it could be connected

Were you by any chance changing your phones emojis? I was and rebooted and noticed the GPS crash. Undoing emoji changes didn't fit it.

Google play store won't download

Google play won't download:
I recently updated my Android version on my unrooted Nexus 5X to the final release of Android 7.1.1 (I had the beta version before)
Since then my google play store won't download (keeps saying downloading... But never downloads)
I've tried a few things from the internet but none of them helped and the problem still exists:
* Rebooted phone
* Cleard cache and data of play store
* Cleard cache and data of download manager
* Restored play store to factory version (now also the play store fails to update itself)
* Removed my Google account from phone and added it again
As mentioned none of those helpd me and play store still not downloading anything including its own update.
My phone has plenty of free space and problem is also on WiFi (tried different WiFi's) and also on mobile data.
My last option is to do a factory reset to my phone but I'm a worried I will get stuck unable to download any apps so I want to keep it for when all hopes are lost
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the answer.
Did it. So now I have back the latest version of the play store but it still won't download anything.
I could technically stop using the play store and download apk's any now and then but thats not very convenient obviously.
My guess it's a problem with the google download manager that got updated with the system.
I tried looking for an apk for that so I could reinstall it but found nothing (only download managers that replace the browser's download manager)

Went into the play store and found out the system webview is disabled. Pressed enable but nothing happens.
Also through app settings the app shows to be disabled and the "enable" button is greyed out.
I was searching to update the system web view app through apk mirror but then found this thread:
https://www.google.com.ar/amp/forum...8833-android-system-webview-disabled.html?amp
Which in short says it's disabled in purpose by Android since updating to Android N.

Clear Google play services data. Update play store and Google play services. If any apps are disabled then enable them. Go to Google account and click sync now. Check your Android date and time.
Go to apps and clear download manager data.

So now I definitely think it is due to the update
I suggest you to again degrade it back to older version and wait until the newer version produced is completely stable

Problem just solved mysteriously and accidentally: my phone died (battery got to 0%) and after charging it and starting it again the problem was gone.
I have tried restarting the phone a few times (together with cache, data, account, etc cleaning) when the problem appeared but maybe letting the phone run out of battery has a different affect on the system than just restarting it?
Anyway problem solved.

Donation Package Features Greyed Out

I have installed both Greenify and Donation from Play Store on Lineage15.1 . It was working before. I did a clean install of the ROM and now it wont work.
In about, Donation Pack is recognized. In settings without installing Donation Pack, it prompts to purchase and now it is greyed out which means it does recognize the donation but wont work.
Using latest Magisk and Gapps. And it has nothing to do with startup at boot becuase it did not prompt me to do so as it does on OxygenOS.
I do not have the smiley face modding app installed. It also did not work when i installed Xposed. But, before all this it did work. Other apps with donations are working fine.
I dont know why this keeps on happening to all the people who actaully paid for it and not to the pirated copy users.

If you restored Greenify through TiBU or a similar app, this issue is likely. Sometimes even when it is installed from PlayStore, this happens.
Wipe the data and cache of the Donation app and then uninstall it. Then reinstall the Donation app from PlayStore and check.

Done that wont work. Did not use Titanium. This is clean install LOS with NanoOpenGapps and Magisk. I had cleared Dalvik, System, Cache, Data, Internal.
This is i guess a weird case of license verification fail. But then again it does recognize the donation just the features are greyed out. I have tried restarting and clearing cache of Store as well as Greenify packages.
@oasisfeng Need a little bit of help here.
Same problem here, just cleaned flashed rom.

I had the same issue. Installing an older version of the Google Play Store fixed it for me. There seems to be an issue with licensing in the current one. Version 10.6.30-all [0] [PR] 201585272 and older did the trick for me.

How do you do that? Becuase i flashed the lastest GApps so uninstalling updates would only take me back to 10.7.x
If you try to sideload, it wont let you and again for downloading Greenify you need Internet connection which also means Play Store will update itself.
Edit: I actually tried a Nandroid Backup one month old where the Pro features were already activated but now no incall sound for me ( This was not a bug in the build-worked when i created backup ). When the Play Store upgraded, the features were still available because Greenify stores a local key saying that this device is good to go.
ditto... same problem!! Hopefully Google address the bug soon and update Play Store. Rather than hunt around to install an old version I'm just gonna wait it out
Google has addressed the broken LVL issue. The latest OpenGapps releases are now bundled with version 10.6
Will be flashing it now an hope it solves the issue.
Edit : Works like a charm on version 10.6.
Thanks for the info on broken Play Store @Mo72

Do i need to root my TB-7304N tablet?

Hi,
I recently bought a tablet from china but i wasn't told that the google play store wasn't install. I tried to download them from their apps as well through some site but none of them works. The google play store just crash. So i've decided to root it but i couldn't find any roms/firmware which i can use to root the tablet. The tablet current version is 7.
Do i really need to root my tablet or there is a way i can get my google play store running?
I notice that there is some thread for tb-7304i or something, will i be able to use them? If not, where can i get details to root tb-7304n?
can anyone help me with this?

An Android device must NOT be rooted to install Google Play Store on it. Use Google Installer v3 to install Google Play Store. The Google Installer v3 comes as an APK which you can directly download and install on your device. Fortunately, this app doesn’t void warranty as it isn’t performing root or modifying the system files. Once the Google apps have been installed, you can uninstall this app.

So when the Google Services Framework keeps stopping then you know there is something wrong with one of the Google Apps you have installed on your phone. Either Google Services Framework, Google Play Services or Google PlayStore. Picking out the particular app responsible might be tasking so it might be best to just clear the data and cache of ALL three apps and also remove or log out of your Google Account and log back in and finally re-boot device.

Tried any times already and still can't figure out which apps is having problem. Is it due to the software version having PRC?
