New Google play services 4.4.48

New google play services has been released. Some features listed below along with the mirrored .apk file
Google Maps Street View API
First off in Play Services 4.4,*we have a brand new API for Google Maps Street View. This will allow application developers to embed Street View imagery into any Android application activity.*Doing so, your users will then be able to have the same in-app experience as what’s currently possible through Street View in Google Maps, including 360 degree panning, zooming, and so on.
Activity Recognition
Next up, we have Activity Recognition. No, this isn’t regarding Android application activities. Rather, a new feature in Google’s Location API is able to detect whether you are*running or walking, given sensor data. This is in addition to the API’s previous ability to tell if you’re driving, biking, on foot, still, or actively tilting. This functionality can also be combined with the new Street View API for highly immersive mapping-based apps.
Game Services Update
You may recall that Google Play Services 4.3 brought Game Gift functionality. Today’s update changes the sending UI to allow users to select multiple game gift recipients for added collaboration and social engagement.
Wallet Fragments
Play Services 4.4 refines the preexisting Instant Buy API to reduce the amount of work involved in placing a “Buy With Google” buttin in your app. This is all thanks to the new*WalletFragment API, which allows you to simply configure the provided*fragments and add them to your app.
Mobile Ads
Finally, there’s a new set of APIs for app developers to display in-app promo ads. These new promo ads allow developers to target particular subsets of users, and only send the ads to users who may be interested in purchasing.

yea, i had to go back into location settings after updating the google play services manually, and go into location reporting, then had to redisable location reporting and location history(again).

also seem to change my status icon in hangout from green to orange when I am driving.
(a friend tell me that)

I suddenly lost the SYSTEM UPDATES menu under the ABOUT PHONE section. Anyone else seeing the same thing? Nexus 5.

Noticed that uninstalling this release will remove the System Updates menu. If I reinstall 4.4.48, it comes back. Don't want to run this release as there is a huge battery draining issue. Back to 4.3 and no System Update menu.

yep, go to xda portal, download and install

The only thing I have had go wrong with the newest version is Swiftkey doesn't make the key press sounds anymore. Other than that its all good

I still get NLPCollector Wake locks with this, even with location history/reporting off, which sucks.

For the first time in months I have Play Services draining my battery. Also Google Search service is running and wasn't before.
Edit: fixed both by adjusting settings in Google Search.

Is there any way to update the google play services without manually installing the new apk? OTA?

Lost ability to Chromecast

After the February patch updates I can no longer see my nexus player to cast to. I've tried switching from 5ghz to 2.4. Tried rebooting the nexus player as well
Anyone else experience this? Google cast is updated and running

Force stop, clear data and uninstall the update, reboot the NP and let it update Google Cast again. Also, if you have more than one NP give the players a unique name in the About section within Settings.

I did all of this and I'm still unable to cast to my Nexus Player. Doesn't make any sense...

It's so weird. It works fine on mine. They're both updated with the latest Android updates. I also have the Chromecast app installed on my phone, I don't know if it even makes a difference but I am just trying to think of things that I have done.
You have the casting app updated? From Reddit: The problem didn't have to do with either Marshmallow or the most recent APK update (though the timing was understandably suspicious), but we're pushing an updated APK that resolves the actual issue.
You should see version 1.16.45911 (Settings > Google Cast) once you've updated.
You could try to downgrade the app if it still doesn't work: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ast-receiver-1-12-28389-android-apk-download/

That's the Chromecast receiver version I have. I read on reddit and here and some people has the same issues but no fixes apparently. I'm not saying its MM, just that it's not working.
I might do a factory reset this weekend (thus losing root) to see if it gets fixed. Either that or just live without Casting...

I just had to reboot my router

Hi,
I have the same issue, as soon is I type on "google" in the account tab, the parameters application is crashing.
I cannot anymore remove a google account from my phone.

Update google framework and make sure you have no screen filter/dimmer running. If stil, try clearing cache and dalvik cache and reboot your device

Hi
thanks for info
I wiped both cache and my phone is up to date (don't know how I could update google framework out of google play) but still same issue.
what do you mean by screen filter dimmer ?

Some screen filters dissable on-screen buttons or over-use the RAM, so you wouldn't be able to open some functions. Try disable any filter.

Also worth checking: google "sync options google" and go to your device, tap on sync all and retry.

Hi
Thanks again. I don't have any screen filters. I removed almost all programs.
I cannot go into google account setting to check what is synched or not because it's crashing as soon as I click on it on parameters.
I think last solution would be a total wipe but I would like to avoid.
any other idea ?
Kind regards
Fred

I confirm that problem too. It's on all Note 3 and S4 I have under my hand (8 devices). Both not rootet latest official firmware. Problem is with Google Play Services 9.0.83. They have a bug or incompatybility with Samsung Firmware!

same problem here
same thing is here ... but i saw work around in another thread throw the gallery
i need to know how to fix this problem :crying:

Yeah, trick with go thru the settings of stocks gallery works ok. But its not a solution.

I went through the Google Settings in the Google folder in the App Drawer and that worked for me.

Yep. Stock Note 3 here and same issue... But even when I can go to the account settings through the gallery app, my contacts keep disappearing now and then... so annoying!! Does that happen to you as well? It's fixed changing the contacts to show... sometimes. Or rebooting the phone.

@up its other issue in my opinion.

Any news or solution? ??

Google settings does not bring to sync options like the OP problem which is the same as what i am facing. The gallery method does. I think i will try to downgrade to OF1 and see whether it is due to the BOK3

it is the google play services that is at fault
try downloading a newer version like this google-play-services-9-2-56-release/google-play-services-9-2-56-238-124593566-android-apk
worked for me

Problem solved. Yesterday got 71MB security patch update from samsung, which solve the problem.

Can't turn off 'ok google'

This has been causing me problems for weeks now.
In the Google settings I have all voice settings turned off but the Google search bar still pops up with 'say ok google' and it still works even on other pages.
It's as though it's completely ignoring the settings and stuck on the from any page setting.
Anyone have any possible ideas for fixes?

Try to clear data of Google Now if possible.
Otherwise try to uninstall Google Now and re-install the latest version

I've tried both of those as a first step and it still happens.
Really quite annoying as I'm pretty sure it's causing considerable battery drain.
Only thing I can do for now is deny the microphone permission for google now but this also prevents android auto from using voice commands. And it still says it's activated on the search bar

Paid apps Google Play Store not sync? x727 US ver

Question for x727 US ver:
Anyone got a problem that the Play Store Google account apps didn't not sync issue (All the purchased apps reset and needs to buy again when I tried to install) for this phone? Stock room, no root. s21 version
Tried with 2 different x727 phones, tried clear cache, clear Play store data....no help

Need to run the Le Eco setup app for some reason. You can also try to wipe data on play services I think. This was a huge compliant on launch week in USA. I forget the exact fix but many had this issue new out of box. Including me.

Also might want to amend your post in unlocking thread that you insinuate the unlocking broke your play store. Totally separate issue and misleading for new users will scare them about unlocking.

I rooted it and installed LineageOS. Problem solved. A bit worked to downgrade to S19 ver to unlock bootloader.... However, everythign is ok now

If you go back to EUI, just go into app settings and wipe Playstore data. Then relaunch it. Once you hit Accept to PlayStore terms/conditions, it'll sync you app data to it.

This usually happens to me when I start my phone clean. It takes about 30 minutes before my apps seem to sync up and show as being purchased after putting in my Google credentials. You just have to be patient.
