Google Play Services GPS Crash - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I'm running OCT-M 6.0.1. Every time google apps try to access location services, I get play services crashing. This does not happen with non-google apps such as waze or GPS Test.
I've tried reinstalling play services to the latest, reinstalled google maps, and cleared data for services and framework (backed up beforehand of course).
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm unsure where to find a crash log.

Just in case anyone's curious, I managed to figure it out myself. Disabling and re-enabling play services through privacy guard (OCT-M is based on CM13) fixed it. GPS now works and I no longer get any play service crashes.

Google Location Services

Not not for nothing but turning off google location reporting in "Accounts & sync" turned my phone from a one day phone to a two day phone. Anyone else try this?
I already disable google play location reporting with android tuner. BTW, I did the same for google analytics and ads.

Google Play Services - Version Request

I updated my Google Play Services and I recently started getting a message in Google Fit that Activity Detection is off. I click on it and it acts like it will take me somewhere and it never does. Same when I try and view the Google Maps Time line. When I go into location settings Location Services is missing.
Any ideas?
Can I reinstall Location Services somehow?
Can I downgrade back to whatever version of Google Play Services that came on the phone?
I got it fixed renaming the com.google.android.gms-8.1.15_(2250156-240)-8115240-minAPI21.apk to GmsCore.apk and replacing the one in /system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk
And of course changing the permissions to match the one that was I there. I then rebooted and then it let me install the com.google.android.gms-8.1.15_(2250156-240)-8115240-minAPI21.apk
That restored my Google Location Services!
Make sure to install Google Play Service apk's that are meant for your device!

Google Play services has stopped, all the time

Starting yesterday, I am getting this error on my phone every 10min. No matter what app I'm in. It has killed the use of most Google apps especially Hangouts, as texts no longer send etc. I was out at PAX so I didn't make any changes to my phone. Any ideas why this happened and how to fix it?
Phone: LG G2, v5.0.2
Here's what I've tried so far with no luck:
Rebooting
Cleared cache for Google Play services
Cleared cache for Google Services Framework
Ensured Google Play services has no pending updates

Greenifying google play service

hi
I have been using my Note 4 N910 h for more than one year and everything was perfect despite this annoying google service battery draining issue that i believe many are facing as well ..... it drains cellphone's battery as hell no matter what you do .
i installed Greenify and activated experimental features to be able to greenify system application including this bloody one , but i wasn't able to find it among them ..... why
any idea how to find and greenify it ? is there any other way to prevent it from draining the battery
thanks in advance
This is total guesswork, but I think "Greenifying" Google Play Services might F up your phone.
That's why it's not included on the list.
You could "App Settings" (Xposed app) and stop Google Play Services from starting up when your phone starts, but just have Nandroid backup ready.
If you look at the battery usage settings for Google Play Services, it shows the following as included packages:
Google Services Framework, Google Backup Transport, Google Account Manager and Google Play Services.
Some of those can be selected in Greenify. I'm not sure would happen if you selected them though.
Again more guesswork, are you syncing (lots of) data frequently via your Google account?
i.e. contacts, calendar, apps etc
This might fall under Google Backup Transport or Google Account Manager, which in turn falls under Google Play Services.
I denied all the stupid permissions it needed. There's an xposed module called Xprivacy, you can deny many permissions using that like keep awake and stuff. Helps, but don't mess with it that much. I don't. The guy up me is making a good point. Have a nandroid backup.

settings> accounts>Google crashes

I've just noticed this a few days ago. Anyone else having this problem. Going to Google accounts in settings crashes it. A bit of research had 2 work arounds..
1. Go to gallery, settings, accounts...and access it from there
2. Downgrade Google play services or Google play and settings will work. However, it'll keep bugging you to upgrade Google play services or else maps won't work (but it does)
Anyone else fixed this permanently?
