Google play services isn't working

My phone has stopped working all of a sudden. I can't make calls and I can't go into google play services to update anything. This just happened today. All I get across my screen is "google services has stopped". Can someone please tell me what's going on and help me solve this? Thanks!
So, no one has any idea on how to fix this?
Are you on stock rom?

Issue when texting with Google android messages (Or whatever it's called today)..

So I have another bug that MAY have started after the Nougat update.
I use Google Android Messages for sms and GBoard for my keyboard...
Lately when i'm texting to someone, when I go to reply to a text (maybe when the text thread is already open?) my keyboard doesn't work and I have to hit the back button which makes the keyboard go away then click on the message box to activate it again so it will work.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any fixes found?
I've tried clearing cache on both apps, this didn't fix the issue for me.

Facebook notification problem Samsung S8

Hello Lads Looking for some advice and help if possible please.
I have a problem that I cant find an answer to. I have an S8 with facebook installed and I dont get a notification sound or a popup on the lock screen showing I have a notification? I do get a red number on the apk shortcut showing how many notifications I have.
I've deleted cache and data, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, logged in and out. changed settings within the apk and on my desktop facebook within my browser. still nothing. Ive tried default facebook sound and custom facebook sound and still get nothing.
I need to get this working as I use it daily and Im missing out on some important group messages
Is it a S8 problem or a facebook problem. Phone on latest firmware (EE) and latest facebook apk installed
Can anyone help me please.
Thank you.
Hey did you find a fix?
No Pal still the same problem. No notification sounds , no notification icon on lock screen although I get the red 1 or another number depending on how many new notications I have on facebook apk shortcut, But thats it. NO sounds. Uninstalled reinstalled, cleared data and cache, Logged in an out , restarted phone. checked all settings on desktop
Ah well cheers for the reply mate, been through all those steps myself too. Here's hoping they actually fix this in an update!
I am having the same issues. Not much help but you are not alone.
still no fix for this.? Can anyone help?
Same problem
I'm having this same problem on my S8+. It's super annoying. No sounds, no pop up notifications, just the little red badge number on the app icon to let me know there are notifications. I've done all of the stuff you guys have done. Has anyone seen a way to fix this yet?
No fix yet hopefully when we get oreo it wlll sort it?
Have you attempted to install an older version of Facebook. Maybe it's the Apk itself and not your phone. A recent update probably caused a bug.
Here is what I recommend
Uninstall your current Facebook app
Download and install this version of Facebook
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/faceb...1-0-0-44-205-4-android-apk-download/download/
If not then try to download the latest beta.
Tell me if it solved your issue.

Uninstall Facebook? ?
In all seriousness the Facebook is a bloated battery hogging mobile privacy violation. There are several 3rd party apps that do a great job at Facebook while being efficient and not beaming your every move to Facebook hq for ad analysis
Dont think its the apk as it hasnt worked for months and there have been numerous updates to facebook , ive installed reinstalled etc loads of times but Ill try again later, Thanks on way out

voice dictation not working?

Hey everyone
I have a fossil Gen 4 and having some issues. Regular google assistant seems to work but when I go to reply via voice on a text (using Google messages app) I tap the mix icon to reply and it tries to open but then immediately closes and goes back to the previous screen.
Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve?
I'm in the process of doing a factory reset on the watch.
Previously I have tried clearing cache for messages, google. I tried uninstalling messages. Making sure all permissions are set correctly. I even rolled google back and nothing.
Anyone else encounter this?
Update.
Factory reset on the watch did not make any difference. Still doing it
Try open your phone and launch a web page (and refresh), after try the mic for dictation on watch to see what happen (when phone screen still on) ?

No, phone use is just to ensure all is right for internet connection. You must use your normal voice reply on watch but after you are sure that phone is connected to internet at this time.

Like I said assistant works fine on the watch. If I swipe to open assistant it will detect my voice just fine.
As per my OP I was saying that in the messages app when I go to voice reply and tap the mic icon it will open for a split select then close and go back to the options on how I want to reply

you have to do it through Play Store
Edit: Go to Play Store, swipe down, choose my applications option, Google...
Just want to chime in and say I have the same problem. Removing the update for the Google app by selecting uninstall through Google Play worked.
Unfortunately, I'm also unable to setup Google Pay on my watch. After opening Google Pay I tap "Set it up," it spins saying, "Getting your cards" then fails with "Something went wrong please try again." Works just fine on the phone app, any suggestions for the watch?
This latest update is a real doozy!

Now I have also this issue in my LG-W7 and Ticwatch Pro.
Solution is effectively to remove update for the "Google app". And like we have no option to remove update, we must uninstall the "Google App". "Google" is a System app, so uninstall do not uninstall but remove all update and now Voice command works again (and bonus it seem that battery life is better now..... )
