Since I have updated to 4.2.2 OTA (all Stock) installing Apps using the Google Play website does not seem to really work.
When I click install on play.google.com nothing happens on the phone until I open the Google Play App. Seems like that the service that used to connect to google play regulary does no longer run?
Anyone else seen this?
Related note ... I did the google framework service thing to get it to show the OTA after installing the update my phone did not show up in play.google.com at all until I have installed a random app using the google play app.
Open Play Store and check your auto update settings. Probably you need to enable it.
The autoupdate setting has nothing to do with it; I'm experiensing the same issue, the download starts, but it takes 1 minutes before it starts, even if I have Google Play opened on my phone

It is enabled but not sure how this is related ... I am talking about install / remove didn't test update yet.
OK I have fixed it.
Did Settings -> Apps -> All and Cleared the Data for Google Play and Google Play Services.
Rebooted the phone. Opened Play Store once and now thinks work like as expected.

This is what worked for me:
Go into your device's app manager. Select Google Play app. Click on uninstall updates. This will take it back to the factory setup state. I then had to reboot the device as I initially got a message that Google Play has stopped working when I tried to open the app. After reboot, open Google Play and accept the terms and conditions. This got the install from website issue fixed.
I purchased an app off the market to use on my phone. Does anyone know a way to install a paid app on the nexus player running lolirock?
My phone isn't rooted so I can't pull the apk from my phone.... =/
Of course you can, use APK Share from KN Inc (Play Store).

Oh wow, that's awesome! I didn't realize I could get an apk of a purchased app without root.
Thanks brandogg!
Just trying to do my part. I have Google Drive on my ADT-1, I just use "share" on the KN app and it's available within a few seconds or so. Bear in mind there will still be a handful of apps that don't work.
Also, you're probably already aware of this, but in your web browser (even on Chrome on the Nexus Player or ADT-1) you can go to play.google.com/store and search for apps then choose which device to send it to from there. There are quite a few apps that are completely compatible with the Android TV devices, they just don't show up in the Play Store app (probably because they don't have all the appropriate icon packs, etc). Saves a little bit of time that way.
I just recently brought a Fire HD 8 this past Black Friday 2016 and after some searching I found I could install Google Play and it's required services. I was surprised that the Play Store could install new apps even after I turned off "unknown sources" in Settings > Security. Why is this possible without root and without Google Play being installed to the /system partition like it is on all the other devices I have? Is this only limited to the Fire OS? Seems like a security issue if a non-root and a non-system app is able to install new apps.
Maybe Google Inc. is set default to be a trusted source (probably with a trusted certificate?).

Maybe but I haven't found anything online suggesting this.
Maybe Google planned on this being done from the very start when they let Amazon use a modified Android
all it does is download the apk. the install is done by the android system. same as with f-droid. or if you used the browser to download the apk. try clicking on a .apk file in your file manager
The play store is the only "known source", so disabling unknown sources will still allow the play store to install things.

So I guess Amazon only bothered to enable their store in the code then, leaving the rest of the Google stuff intact?

I'd assume they didn't touch the Google stuff, as you put it
They probably just added in their code.
Anyway to fix this? I fear more apps might not be working. Thanks!

Want to fix Google Cloud Messaging ports(GCM):
-> Removing any all Amazon's bloatware.
-> Using Xposed or Magisk modules to fix GCM ports.
-> Install a custom ROM to your Fire tablet like LineageOS.
-> Install a full Google API services APKs (Google API services' version is same as Android version).

I used the fire tools in XDA to remove most Amazons bloatware, except for Amazon shop and the app store to update Play store uninstallable apps like Netflix, Disney+, etc..
I installed the Play Store and Google Assistant, etc.. using the same tool. Where can I find the full google API services? Thanks!

Can you see the apps with Google Cloud Messaging API. Check the GCM's permissions.

soo..I just got an unusual notification on my 2019 fire hd10...that the play services wont run until updated? I didn't catch the entire message.
I went into the play store and the notification disappeared.
help?
I had the same thing. I cleared the notification and so far it hasn't appeared again. Everything still works.
Others have reported it, and the popular theory is that it's a harmless bug in the latest version of Google Play Services.

Playstore is not a trusted app
Always make installable copies of all your apps and current updates. The less Playstore the better... it never runs on my 10+ unless I need it.
I trust no one...but my cat. with my cat? I know EXACTLY where I stand at all times with her.

word.
....currently getting groomed by my cat, apparently I need it?
anywho..got the notification AGAIN today, and this time I was actually able to initiate an update.
fortuitous given my tablet just updated the OS today.
I'm seeing this as well on my Fire HD 8 (2020), and it's very concerning.
I've also uninstalled Google Play Services and reinstalled the latest version of Google Play Services from APKStore (you cannot do an in-place upgrade, there's only a "deactivate" button which doesn't work).
The error goes away temporarily, but eventually returns a week or so later.
And we're not alone -- hundreds of complaints on this issue in the Reviews section of Google Play Services on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US
Is this just a temporary bug? Or is it an indication that the little "secret" of sideloading Google Play Store is over, at least if you want to use your Fire to play games requiring Google Play? Wonder if Google and Amazon are finally saying "no more?" I hope not.
...I think the fact most of us are running the play store in manual update only mode is the problem. it cant auto update the play services, and thus coughs up this error?

Playstore will let you know when you go to Playstore if it needs updating. I've package block and run Playwhore on manual update only for over 1.5 years with no problem.
All it's parent apps need to be running at boot up ie Google play Services. You may need to delete and recreate your Google account if it really goes off the rails. Reboot, reboot, reboot...

Thank you. I thought the same thing, so I reset Fire and set Store to auto update everything (except Kindle and Alexa).
Still getting error.
My App Details for Google Play Services shows:
App installed from Google Play Store
version 21.33.13 (100300-393339024)

it was a thought, that said after I was FINALLY presented the option to update the service its not done it again.
also..I've owned FOUR samsung tablets over the years and every single last one of them, without fail, whenever playstore has had an update, I've had to manually initiate the update, it patently REFUSES to do so on its own, and thats AFTER running every troubleshooting known to man AND consulting samsung support.
its an android thing apparently ^^;

did you manually install everything? or use the fire toolbox thingy app?
I ran this guide for my tablet. https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/06/21/install-play-store-amazon-fire-tablet/
I have Google Play Services 21.30.16, so it seems mine hasn't updated since I installed it a few months ago.
How are you getting it to update?

I rarely use Playstore. Updates there are set to wifi only, and wifi is always disabled.
Samsung tech support is useless.
Try googling the error codes.
I use ApkExport to make installable copies of my apps so on a reload no Playstore needed.
You can also use those copies to load other devices... if you want.
I was able to go into the play store and tap on 'update' on the play services.
-shrugs- it worked, thats all I cared about.
Play Store is telling me 21.30.16 is the latest version of Google Play Services and I'm up to date. APK Mirror is showing newer versions, though. Weird.

Thank you! It's Google Play Services, not Google Play Store, that needs updating, right?
I manually installed all four APKs - using the Android Police instructions, too.
