Google Play Services automatic update - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a reliable way to disable/deactivate google play services from being automatically updated? The phone is rooted. I neither mean automatic app update nor disabling play services.
Thanks in advance.

Use app called disable services from play store.
And turn off Google services
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...
This would break google services right? So no more sync gmail and such?
No I m using it for a very long time and it doesn't affect any functionality for Gmail or play store.
Don't know about Google now.
If you use that just check after you disable a particular service.
Don't disable network location and fused location service they are needed for maps to work.

Disabling a critical service can have negative impact. I would recommend Greenify donation package for this since it only hibernates the service and it can start when needed. You will need xposed for Greenify's experimental feature to work

I don't know if this is related but I tried that app to disable services and disabled all the services in google play services.
Gmail and others didn't work, so I enabled them again just like it was before, but now I'm getting a "can't sync contacts" problem in the google account sync panel in preferences...
Seems only contacts is having problems when syncing. Everything else syncs perfectly.
What should I do?
I tried deleting my google account and then adding it again, but no luck.

[Q] Google play services crashing when i sign in to my google account. [lollipop]

For a while now, I've been having a problem with google services where hangouts doesn't work. To try to fix this, i signed out of my google account and tried to sign in again. But after i write my email and password, it closes, and it says that google play services has stopped working. I can now no longer use gmail, youtube, hangouts or any app i signed in with google for that matter. Aside from doing a factory reset, is there any way i can stop google play services from crashing when i sign in?

I had this kind of problem some time ago, i fixed it by uninstalling all play services updates (so only stock playservices remain) and then manually updated to the latest version (should be this one now http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-5-69-1954844-438-android-apk-download/ ). Worked for me at the time.

Clear data of Google Play Services.

[Q] Should Google Play services be greenified?

Google Play services start constantly, is greenifying safe? I don't use the app auto-update feature, but account syncing (contacts) is important. I won't remove the wake-up path yet.
I also greenified Google Play Store.
I was unable to make in-app purchases (I had to degreenify), so some issues appear.

It's useless, there are many wakelocks attached to it, when you try to cut it, Google play force close

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.
