Per subject title, Google Play store stopped working after Google Play Services v7.3.29 update
Anyone else seeing this ?
I also had problems with Google Play Services 3.29. Not only did it not work, but it messed up all apps that used location services. Another weird thing was that when I would reboot that after a minute the blue light on the front would start pulsing for around five minutes then stop. To fix this all you have to do is install 7.0.99. I tried downloadin 7.0.99 from the web and it always got parse errors so I just transfed it for my cell. 7.0.99 is the latest version that works properly on the Fire TV. All versions after 7.0.99 did not work correctly for me. I am just gonna keep Google Services updated with the same update from my cell, cause that seems to work for me.
How do you stop v7.0.99 from automatically update to v7.3.29 ?
I uninstalled v7.3.29 and install v7.0.99, it works for a while then auto upgrade it back to v7.3.29. I have auto update disabled and that doesn't seem to be able to stop it
So I uninstalled Google Play Services v7.3.29 and DID NOT replace it any previous version AND
My Play store started working again. I rebooted a few times to make sure it is no fluke and the Play store still works
so the workaround for me is to remove Google Play Services entirely from FireTV

I do not use the Play Store, cause I am not rooted, but I never auto update any apps on any droid device. I actually use 1Mobile Market, Aptoide and Mobogenie to keep as updated n my Fire TV, but I update apps one at a time. They all say I need to update Google Play Services, but I choose not to udate and it doesn't update. You are gonna need to have Play Servics installd or apps like Gmail will no longer work. The lates Gmail requires that you have 7.0.99+ instlled or it will not work.

Wow! I was VERY skeptical but it really was that simple! I just assumed google play services was essential but it works now...Thanks!
Works for me, but now "Market Helper" won't work without the Google Framework. I don't know if that matters.

For me, Market Helper seemed to change what version of the YouTube app was available. (Tablet vs Android TV). However, the Android TV version updated at a certain point and did not want to cooperate as nicely. Needed to downgrade that one.
Off topic but I have been trying to get the playstore installed on my rooted aftv. Have tried several methods including renaming the files with no spaces. Everything seems to install fine but when I try to login under existing I get error that my email or password is incorrect and new login just goes back to choosing existing or new account page
Delete.

So I deleted Google Play Services and that did work, however some of my apps wouldn't work without it installed. So I re-installed Google Play Services and figured out how to keep it from updating.
First thing I did was:
go into the AFTV Settings (the one it came with)
go to APPLICATIONS, then APP STORE, and turn click on AUTOMATIC UPDATES so it says OFF.
(I don't know if that's only for Amazon's Appstore, but it's part of what I did.)
Then, open Google Play and:
Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left.
Tap Settings.
Tap Auto-update apps.
To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps.
So far, Google Play Services has not updated!! I can post the Settings.apk and Google Play Services v7.3.29.apk if anyone needs it.

Yes. That would be helpful if youd post V7.3.29 Thanks
So I checked the AFTV today, and it looks like it did update.
However, my Google Play Store IS working!!
I just realized in my post that I said I would post v7.3.29, which is in fact the updated version. I can give you the same exact one that's on my system if you want to see if that works for you.

I already posted that 7.0.99 is the newest version that works with the fire TV. Any version with a higher version number does not work correctly. 7.3.29, causes problems with apps that use location services and causes the light on the front to start pulsing about a minute after each reboot. My guess is that some of the versions with version numbers higgher than 7.0.99 are made for devices that have much different specs than the Fire TV therefore they do not work as they should. I have tried every version from 7.0.99 on and 7.0.99 is the only version that functions as it should. I got my 7.0.99 version from my Galaxy Note and transfered it to my Fire TV and it works perfectly. Maybe people should check their phone or tablet and see which version of Google Play Services they are running, if its 7.0.99, transfer it to your Fire TV and it should be fine, but do not update past 7.0.99 or it will not function correctly. 7.0.99 and 7.3.29 are actually the same version of Google Play Services, but since Google Play Services is device specific they have different version numbers. 7.0.99 and 7.3.29 are the latest versions of Google play Service for the specific devices they are made for. There are several apps that do this, and a good example is Facebook, depending on the device you have the latest version of Facebook will have a different version number from device to device, cause hardware is different and apps are made differently depending on hardware. To see what I mean just go to the actual Play Store on your browser and look at Google Play Services and it will say latest version followed by saying varies by device, and it says the same for most apps in the play store.

Once your AFTV is rebooted, the Google Play Store will stop working, report back if you are seeing something different. Thx
Appreciate if anyone can post Google Play Services v7.0.99.apk here. Thanks.

Thanks for the update. I am not sure why the APKMirror apk did not work for you. Make sure you download the version ending in "036" (the 3 numbers at the end of the file name after the dash). Quoting:
To figure out the right version of Google Play services for your Android device look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses. You'll see something like -XYZ where:
X defines Android version:
0 for Android <5.0
4 and 7 for Android >=5.0
8 for Android TV
Y defines CPU architecture:
1 for armeabi
3 for armeabi-v7a
4 for arm64-v8a
7 for x86
Z defines DPI:
0 for universal
2 for 160
4 for 240
6 for 320
8 for 480

Ahh i see i now went back on the site and i see what you mean by the last 3 numbers, thanks for sharing that.
Hi all,
I have been using this phone for a couple of months. I installed the Google services and Play store using this MIUI 8 Google installer which has been floating around the internet. My Google Play Store is up to date.
I have been quite happy with the phone except for the following issues:
(i) When I install larger files over Google Play Store, it will crash when the download is finishing. It will pop an error message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped", and I am unable to get the downloads to work. The next few attempts at opening the Play Store will show the same message, but it will eventually open, but the download will fail.
(ii) Connectivity - 3G / 4G. My previous phones, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Samsung Note 4 had no such issues. They were able to connect to the network and not get dropped frequently. This affects me when I play games, and I will have lost connectivity time to time (even when in the open). I checked the network bands and my country's bands (Singapore) are compatible.
(iii) GPS - I had been playing Pokemon GO / Ingress. It does get very annoying when the messages "GPS not found" keeps popping up, especially when indoors. One soft fix is to turn Wifi on and off. I am not sure why this fix works, but I had already enabled wifi scanning even when wifi is not on.
Does anyone else here have these issues? If so, do you have any fix for them?
Thank you everyone in advance.
I suggest to you to download playstroe.apk from the internet instead of the installer of the miui..its not install the updated version of the play store..and dont forget to able playstore to run in the background in the assist manager and download google service.apk if you need more help or something talk to me
Thank you for your prompt response!
I can try reinstalling Play Store. I checked the version and it is exactly the same one as my Samsung Note 4 (which had been recently updated). There are also quite a few versions floating around and I am unsure of which one to install. As it stands, I think I will reinstall the exact same version and see how it goes. I had also installed Google Services.
But thank you for the reminder - I had already added the Play Store to my protected list for it to run in the background, but the problem still persists.
Been looking at APK mirror, and there are too many versions of Play Store.
May I check which one should be the version I should be installing?
Edit: I installed the latest versions of Play Store and Play Services from apkmirror, and the large downloads still failed.
I checked, and my Google Play store is updated by the ZTEMarket, so I assume the version is fine.
Has anyone else experienced such issues before?

Yep, I've gotten to 98% before on a 1gb file to have "Playstore has stopped" error... Very frustrating...
Ive finally manbded to install B013 - its loaded fine. Now I have a message saying "To start Android, enter your password".
I've never previously had to enter a password - I bought the phone from Ali Express.
How do you get past this ? Is there a generic password ? HELP PLEASE !!!
I installed my B13 update OTA and didn't experience the password issue, but I see that you already resolved that problem (in another thread).
I still can't get my phone to download larger files over Google Play Store and it's getting very annoying. Anything which requires WiFi to download seems to have this issue.
Anyone knows any solution to this?
EDIT: I found the solution.
Go to Apps > Google Play Store > Permissions. You will see that the Permissions for Storage is UNCHECKED. It looks like when Google Play Store is installed, it comes unchecked by default. Hopefully this will be helpful for anyone experiencing this issue.

Problems Google services, play store Axon 7 version B13
Before I had version B10 and the play store and other GOOGLE applications worked perfect, but after upgrading to version B13, the GOOGLE services that had possibly been installed by the store of aliexpress where I bought, since the google services did not originally come in the smartphones Manufactured in China, have disappeared, and even though I have reinstalled, they do not work, standing in the "checking data" field, it seems that this version is incompatible with google play services!
Anyone know how to fix this?
problem google play services
I still have not solved the problem, because when I open the play store, it keeps the message "checking data" and does not leave this message and the options of permissions are all marked "on"
Is there any specific version of google services for this model axon 7 version B13, or should any one work?
I had exactly the same as you. Purchased from Ali express. Update to build b013, if you get a password message just perform a factory reset. To install Google play store, go to the zte market (Chinese version of play store). Even though it's in Chinese it's easy to type in Google play into search then simply install. Sorted. After that works without any problems
Here you go
google play running

This app shows that Google Service is ok but Google Framework is not installed. When I choose Repair, nothing happens. I downloaded and installed Google Services Framework 7.1.1 from apkmirror, but nothing has changed. Do you have Google Framework installed?
hello after reset the phone I noticed that there is no google play store in zte market, so i had to install it on my own from web sources. what is curious google play services were already preinstalled on the phone, as well as installing Play Store was like updating it, but without it the app coudln't be found anywhere on the phone
so any idea what happened to Google Play, and if it is safe to install it from web sorcues, this time it was xda-dev.

Lol it's obviously safe as long as it's APKMirror or xda labs, or places like that.
When I used MiFavor 5 for the first time there was a version of Play Services installed there, but you had to go to Apps and enable it. Also GApps didn't help at all.

@ BurakSefaSenturk, the Google Play app can not be deleted, so you can try to back up and return to factory reset. If you want to download this APP, the office website would be the better choice.

Hello,
I installed Google play store on a fire 8HD kids edition according to this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/am...-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603/amp/
Everything worked great.
Now I created another adult account on the same tablet.
This means there is a parallel new android account (2) on the tablet which already has Google play installation in a different account (1)
Installing 1. Google Account Manager 5.1-1743759 &
2. Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google
Worked fine in the second account, but:
3. Google Play Services 11.5.09 (240-164803921)
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-apk-download/ and
4. Google Play Store 8.3.41.U-all [0] [FP] 170066753
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-apk-download/
Stop with the error "app not installed".
The play store in the first account is working nicely.
Any hints how to get Google play store on both accounts?
Thanks for your help!

Correct no known fix, that I have seen.
Jesus. Hours of looking for this issue and this it it? A brick wall? This blows.
I had the same problem and find out it was because after installing all the APKs on the main profile, by the time I went to install in to the secondary (or Kid) profile, the "Google Play Services" got updated to the latest version (even with auto-update off).
And apparently you cannot have two different GPS APKs on the same tablet even if in two different profiles, so I used "Apk Extractor Lite" to create the package (instead of going to APK Mirror or the likes... you I am an computer engineer therefore I am lazy) and install it on the secondary (or Kid) profile.
The problem and solution is illustrated also here: --- uhoh ... cannot post link... will update later when I can
soo..I just got an unusual notification on my 2019 fire hd10...that the play services wont run until updated? I didn't catch the entire message.
I went into the play store and the notification disappeared.
help?
I had the same thing. I cleared the notification and so far it hasn't appeared again. Everything still works.
Others have reported it, and the popular theory is that it's a harmless bug in the latest version of Google Play Services.

Playstore is not a trusted app
Always make installable copies of all your apps and current updates. The less Playstore the better... it never runs on my 10+ unless I need it.

anywho..got the notification AGAIN today, and this time I was actually able to initiate an update.
fortuitous given my tablet just updated the OS today.
I'm seeing this as well on my Fire HD 8 (2020), and it's very concerning.
I've also uninstalled Google Play Services and reinstalled the latest version of Google Play Services from APKStore (you cannot do an in-place upgrade, there's only a "deactivate" button which doesn't work).
The error goes away temporarily, but eventually returns a week or so later.
And we're not alone -- hundreds of complaints on this issue in the Reviews section of Google Play Services on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US
Is this just a temporary bug? Or is it an indication that the little "secret" of sideloading Google Play Store is over, at least if you want to use your Fire to play games requiring Google Play? Wonder if Google and Amazon are finally saying "no more?" I hope not.
...I think the fact most of us are running the play store in manual update only mode is the problem. it cant auto update the play services, and thus coughs up this error?

Playstore will let you know when you go to Playstore if it needs updating. I've package block and run Playwhore on manual update only for over 1.5 years with no problem.
All it's parent apps need to be running at boot up ie Google play Services. You may need to delete and recreate your Google account if it really goes off the rails. Reboot, reboot, reboot...

Thank you. I thought the same thing, so I reset Fire and set Store to auto update everything (except Kindle and Alexa).

it was a thought, that said after I was FINALLY presented the option to update the service its not done it again.
also..I've owned FOUR samsung tablets over the years and every single last one of them, without fail, whenever playstore has had an update, I've had to manually initiate the update, it patently REFUSES to do so on its own, and thats AFTER running every troubleshooting known to man AND consulting samsung support.
its an android thing apparently ^^;

I ran this guide for my tablet. https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/06/21/install-play-store-amazon-fire-tablet/
I have Google Play Services 21.30.16, so it seems mine hasn't updated since I installed it a few months ago.
How are you getting it to update?

it was a thought, that said after I was FINALLY presented the option to update the service its not done it again.
also..I've owned FOUR samsung tablets over the years and every single last one of them, without fail, whenever playstore has had an update, I've had to manually initiate the update, it patently REFUSES to do so on its own, and thats AFTER running every troubleshooting known to man AND consulting samsung support.
its an android thing apparently ^^;
did you manually install everything? or use the fire toolbox thingy app?
I ran this guide for my tablet. https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/06/21/install-play-store-amazon-fire-tablet/

I rarely use Playstore. Updates there are set to wifi only, and wifi is always disabled.
Samsung tech support is useless.
Try googling the error codes.
I use ApkExport to make installable copies of my apps so on a reload no Playstore needed.
You can also use those copies to load other devices... if you want.
I was able to go into the play store and tap on 'update' on the play services.
-shrugs- it worked, thats all I cared about.
Play Store is telling me 21.30.16 is the latest version of Google Play Services and I'm up to date. APK Mirror is showing newer versions, though. Weird.

Thank you! It's Google Play Services, not Google Play Store, that needs updating, right?
I manually installed all four APKs - using the Android Police instructions, too.

Maybe but I'm still using the factory load version of Google play Services on my 10+, no issues.
