Android Device Manager not working on 7.0 Nougat - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Since updating to Nougat (Flashed Marshmallow image then sideloaded OTA), Android Device Manager does not work. I've tried updating Google Play Services, installing ADM, deactivating and reactivating ADM, and checking to make sure my 6P was set to visible in my Google Play account settings.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I've had the exact same problem. Didn't know if it was my phone or computer, factory reset both, rooted my phone reinstalled Android studio, and the problem persists.

Google Play services no longer working

Hello,
I just upgraded from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop 5.0.1 via Kies. The phone was rooted and became unrooted, of course. Everything went fine with the upgrade and re-rooting after some trouble shooting.
However, I noticed, that after auto-update of Google Play services, that those would always stop working after reboot. Before that update, everything was fine. So I did a factory reset, and even flashed the unrooted version again, but this did not help for long since Google Play services would start crashing again after the next update.
My Lolipop 5.0.1 version is I9505XXUHOB7, the working stock version of Google Play services is 6.5.something, while the version that I got via auto-update is the newest 7.0.99. After some backup restoring and factory resetting I finally figured out that I could revert Google Play services to stock version after removing the device admin setting, and flash any version from apkmirror.com. Now I know that all versions of Google Play services above 7.x and newer definitely *will* crash on my S4 with the new Lollipop.
Does anybody know about this? As I wrote, this happens on a clean unrooted install after factory reset as well. The last working version of Google Play services for me is com.google.android.gms-6.7.76_(1745988-438)-6776438-minAPI21. Older versions will not crash, but I will keep messages that Maps, Gmail or such things require a newer version. Now I am wondering which update of those apps will break my phone again...
Google will automatically restore settings related to your device when you sign in to your Google Play account, thus a factory reset does nothing here. You need to wipe Google Play Services' data, preferably after the update to the latest version. Then reboot and see if anything changes.
Thx for the reply, but I when the phone asks, I always deny to store anything on Google servers. I have my own backups. And, it worked with the initial install and only stopped working after the Google Play services update. Would that not mean that every user must be affected? I read a lot that Google Play services stop working recently, but no apparent explanation.
Edit: I just noticed that, without me doing anything, Google Play services got auto-updated to the faulty new version again, crashing again. Very annoying. I tried the solution with deleting all data, but that helped noting. I reverted to the last functioning version manually.
Is there a way to prevent this auto-update?
Just had a chat with Samsung Support (there seems to be no way to officially address this issue with Google directly). They were not aware of the problem until now and walked me through a couple of steps. Unfortunatelly, nothing helped. They promised to address the issue to Samsung development. Hope this helps, but small hope it is...

Google Play Services is incompatible with your device issue

I have a YU Yureka running Android 5.1.1 ( cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO338-tomato.zip build) with TWRP Recovery (V 2.8.6.0) and OpenGApps (open_gapps-arm64-5.1-micro-20151102.zip build).
A couple of days back I got a notification saying that I have a OTA update to my ROM (cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-tomato.zip build). After i gave it the command, it automatically downloaded and installed my update (Just like CM Updater). However, when my phone rebooted, instead the Google Now Launcher, it reverted back to Trebuchet. When I tried to install the launcher, i found that my Play Store was missing. I went to the home area (not the app list) and tapped on the Google Search Bar(which remained intact) to check for solutions when i got a message saying Google Play Services is incompatible with your device. Contact Device manufacturer for help.
I tried to boot to recovery and flash the Open GApps zip file (the same as aforementioned) but it did not flash and it gave me Error Code : 30. In the end, I formatted my device and reverted to my previous CM build.
Please help. I need to know whether i can update my phone's software without having this issue.
Does anybody else have this problem????
Yes me too ! The Google Play Services demands update as half the apps are not working and ehen updated, the 'Play Services unfortunately stops' . The pop up irritating msg does not allow to proceed with any action till the update is uninstalled ! What damn irritating ! Can anybody help !

Android 7.0 OTA Google Play Services crashing

Hey guys,
Wanted to try and find out whether anyone else is experiencing issues with Google Play Services (9.4.52) crashing after upgrading to Nougat OTA?
I thought I may have a botched install so tried the following:
- Cleared cache
- Reset and didn't restore from backup
- Reset and only installed stock apps
- Safe mode
- Cleared Google Play Services data
- Unsubscribed from all Google beta testing apps
I still can't figure this one out, even after a hard reset back to stock it still kicks up a play services crash about once ever 10-20 minutes... very weird... and frustrating
Anyone else had this issue? Or got any suggestions?
I had the exact same problem after accepting OTA yesterday via the beta program. I was on 6.0.1 on my 6P (no root, no custom rom, locked boot-loader). All Google Apps and Services crash including Messenger (SMS). I performed a hard reset with no luck. I flashed OTA with no luck. Only solution was to unlock boot-loader, flash recovery, and go back to stock. I will try again today.

Will try that method instead, the crashes have died down again but I can't find any correlation between specific apps and what's causing the crashes! If I find a solution I'll post.
I think there may be a problem with the final release. It seems Google pulled 7.0 from their factory images site. I downloaded 7.0 for nexus 6, 6P and 9 earlier today and only the download for the Nexus 9 is still available. I don't know which version is giving you a problem but on the Nexus 6P Google earlier posted version MTC20F. I was going to flash it this evening but I think I'll wait and see what version they post back to the factory image site.
Google has finally posted the OTA and Full ROM images for 7.0. Both have the exact same problem on my 6P. All Google Services and Apps crash and the phone reboots randomly (often). I am at a loss. Obviously issues exist with 7.0 and 6P. Google seriously needs to address this non-sense.

Play store and Phone update messing with each other - Waiting for Wifi issue

I setup my Mi A1. I updated the phone to latest security update. But after that, I couldn't update or download any app from play store. Then I factory reset the phone, and updated the apps first. Then tried updating the phone and it showed 'Waiting for Wifi' error. I factory reset it again. Then updated the phone first and then tried updating apps. But again can't update or download any apps. Clearly Updating phone and Updating apps is messing with each other. Any solutions for this?
Just to be sure: Didn't you clear your google-framework services data to force the update?
If yes, then read three posts from this and that article too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...blem-mi-a1-t3720842/post74890876#post74890876
