Google play services stopped working & google contacts not syncing - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone
I am having 2 problems with my recently flashed AOSP android 6 rom on my galaxy s4 gt-i9505..
I keep getting this notification "Unfortunately google play services have stopped working" and I dont know how to get rid of it.. Gapps are flashed so that's not the cause..
The second thing is my contacts that are synced with my google account are not showing up in the contacts after flashing the rom.. It synced everything except for the contacts.. I checked my google account in my PC to see whether i have the contacts or not, and they are still there but just not syncing in my phone.
Appreciate your help.

Hi.So the contact syncing problem i dont know bcs even in lollipop i had the exact problem but i dont care about my google contacts, for the play services when you flashed the gapps did u wipe cache of not wipe it now i think it will solve the problem!

Google apps problem is related to the gapps package flashed.
Your contact sync problems might also be related to this.

Yeah i think ur right I flashed CrDroid ROM with Gapps
Platform: ARM
Android: 6.0
Variant: Full
Size:498.69 Mb
All the apps are working fine I flashed it about a week ago and didnt had any problems.

I flashed the same rom and gapps before. The contacts problem was there too but they synced later some how lol..
This time, I got the phone into a brick I think because of the layers themes.. so I flashed everything and wiped cache.. but these problems dont seem to go away..
So what do you guys suggest? I tried Gapps, the micro and mini variants because I dont want all google apps, and they both got me the same problems.

[Q] No more Google account capability on Nook

First I have to say I like the "similar threads" function, even though it did not help me this time.
Here is my issue:
My nook had CM7 with nightly 118. I had not used it in a while, so I tried to install 7.1 (which failed prob with a bad md5). I also downloaded nightly 153 which also failed...
I booted BACK and downloaded both again, but 7.1 still failed. nightly 153 went through though, but when I rebooted i got a black screen instead of the CM7 spinning logo.
I went back into recovery and installed my old nightly 118 and was able to get back to normal...or so I thought.
I tried to open G+ and it failed to connect, tried to open Market and it told me I needed a google account. I clicked on the yes button to add one and it took me nowhere. I looked under accounts and both my google account were missing. I tried to add them back, but I only had Corporate, Yahoo, and Facebook in the list.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? I assume I will just have to wipe it all and start from scratch, but I would prefer not to have to do that...
Thanks for any suggestions.
DnA
Are you running CM7 off the eMMC or a SD card?
Did you install the gapps?

This used to happen to me a lot, and the only reliable fix that I've found is to reflash gapps.
I don't know why it started, and I don't know why it doesn't happen to me anymore. Sometimes it happened when I reflashed CM7, sometimes it happened in the middle of routine use. It doesn't appear to happen to most people at all, but that might just be under-reporting because the symptoms seem totally random until you realize that anything needing access to your Google account fails.
Reflash just gapps. You'll have to sign in, and probably add your second Google account manually, but your data will be intact.
CM7 off the emmc, gapps already flashed, and I will try that! thanks for the replies!

Reflashing gapps worked like a charm! Thanks for the help!

Any time! If you come up with a better fix, please post it!
I had the same problem after ungrading to 177. Resintalling Gapps with only deleting cache did not work I had to reinstall Gapps deleting Data and Cache.
I don't understand what happened, but it all works fine now, so far.
Ouch, I've never had to wipe data to fix this, just reflash gapps.

ICS on Nexus - Can't configure Google account

Hi all
I've just switched to ICS from the rom uploaded by kwiboo.
everything seems fine except that i can't configure my Google account.
when i try to add an account, i can't see Google account. if i try to add it as a corporate, i always get a message saying "unfortunately, exchange server stopped"
any one faced the same problem ?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Sounds like you've got a bad zip download or flash. Try wiping system, boot, data, cache and re-flash. Post this stuff in Kwiboo's thread for support.
hmm hey ask around the glaxy nexus people might just be a ICCS bug too
ICS wifi issue
Google account works fine with me, 3G is a bit unstable though.
Been flashin all the ICS betas prepared by drew and on none of them my wifi worked.
Flashed newly published AOSP ICS rom but wifi still refuses to work
It doesn't seem to find any of the networks around me. Any suggestions how to correct that?
Also, i've noticed that battery drain is huge with this rom. 12% off in just 23 minutes.
it happened to me too, when i tried my luck flashing ICS on top of CM7 nightly without wiping data.
it works ok when wiping like we should tho
Wipe it! Should work afterward
Thank you all
I wiped the cache first but it didn't work.
then I wiped the whole thing. It's working now.
thanks again.

Yeah, I simply added my Google account like on any other Android release without any issues

[Q] HELP! Galaxy S4 on MF3 | Play Store Crash

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.
New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

[Q] Can't install apps from google play website

The usual problem - I flashed a custom ROM, signed into my gmail account, then restored the backup of my main ROM,
Now I can't install apps from a PC browser on G Play, it works fine on the phone, just not from the PC
I've cleared cache, data of play store and google services from the phone
Remove my account and re-added it
Removed all devices permissions from my account and set them back up
rebooted the phone
Ive run out of ideas, anyone know what's up?
The device shown in my account is saying it's last access was the 26th, which was about when I flashed that custom ROM, so I'm guessing it's still not seeing my current ROM even after all of that
PITA Google, why make things so complicated ?
Anyone know how to remove that old device and force it to see my current one?

I've fixed it, there was no error, it just refused to detect the phone at all, when I pressed INSTALL on the website, it only gave options of my old April 26th ROM, not my current one
Finally after booting to recovery and clearing all caches, then opening Play store app on the phone, it finally (After 20 tries) detected the phone again and works as it should
That's 2 days of using my phone, that the play store web version failed to detect the phone at all
Come on Google, get it sorted, this has been going on for years, I remember the same problem back in 2012 with my tablet

Did this already, no luck! I think there is some kind of app working in background which is stopping fb, or not letting enough space for fb to run.
I started getting the same issue. Also Jasmine, also within the last couple weeks. But I lost mobile network as well. I'm only on wifi now. Troubleshooting has come up empty thus far. Wish I had an answer for both of us....
ROM issue? I have no idea but I as gonna try a different one to see what I could get accomplished. Letus know if you get it workin.

I'm gonna flash again with same or some other Rom, cz I've been looking for a logical reason behind this and i came up with this answer, this rom is using too much of resources leaving no space for other background process resulting in hanging Mobile Apps and services.
Same thing here

Same rom and recovery on Verizon note 3 here, same Facebook issue too
mine is working jasmine rom v6.1 and TWRP no imdb though... however everytime i open fb i get the white "f" logo with the blue background and the little white loading bar. sometimes the loading bar fills up but it just sits there clearing cache fixes the stuck loading bar.
