TL,DR: Google Maps location sharing suddenly stopped working between two Moto G4 Plays, but they can still location share with me. What's going on?
The facts:
I have a Google account and am logged in to Google Maps. The same goes for my parents. I have a Samsung Note 5, they have Moto G4 Plays. We've all updated to the latest Android versions available (7.0 for me, 7.1.1 for them). We've all updated Maps to the latest versions possible.
We previously had location sharing working just fine, each of us could see the other 2. 2-3 weeks ago, they stopped being able to see each other, but they could see me, and I could see them. They can each successfully location share with my wife (Samsung Galaxy S7, android 8.0.0). When they try to share their locations with each other, they get a message saying that the recipient doesn't have a Google account, and that the share can only occur via an emailed link. That email option is only good for 3 days at a time.
I've tried fiddling with settings, reinstalling Maps, logging them out/in to Maps, clearing Maps' app cache, and rebooting the phones... No success.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any other ideas to try?
Thank you!

I have a very strange problem with my Atrix.
When I upgraded to 5.3.0 Maps I was able to use the check in feature...Then it mysteriously disappeared from Google Maps. I was able to get it back by re-installing and updating google maps again...and then it disappeared again in about a week. Short of downloading and reinstalling Google maps every 7 days I want to find out if this is a problem on my phone, or someone else has noticed similar behavior.
--Edit--
One thing I just tried was going into Application Manager and clearing all the data (Then having to re-log in)...This brought check-in options back.
did it again
This morning my check-in ability is gone...Even clearing the data, rebooting the phone and reinstalling the applicaton updates did not fix it this time.
Hi
My nexus 10 received the lollipop update last night. Once the upgrade was completed I tried to open up gmail or email where upon I received the following error message:-
Google Play Services, Google play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer!
I then did a quick google which pointed me to APKMirror website. I tried to update the google play service but it's made no difference. In addition to this I can no longer see the google play icon so cannot access or update any new apps.
Has anyone else got this issue?
Thanks

No. I flashed lollipop using fastboot (losing all data in the process); this could be an option for you.
Cheers poldie,
I wiped my nexus and put it in recovery mode which sorted it out in the end.
Not happy about doing that but heh it worked.

Hello, I'm new here.
I have a brand new galaxy s5. Running stock everything. I set up my Google account and was able to access some features, such as logging into the play store and downloading apps. However I am unable to access the Google play games feature, I also cannot sign into certain apps requiring google+. I have deleted the account and re entered my details. I have even performed a factory reset and still have no luck. I have tried putting my phone in flight mode and then back to normal and even disabling master sync and re-enabling it. How do I fix this problem. The account seems to say syncing for a very long time, everything else seems to work fine. Is this a network problem?
Problem solved
So I figured I wasn't going to receive any advice any time soon, probably because my explanation wasn't too clear but I fixed the issue. As mentioned I tried everything and factory reset and that did not work. The main issue was when I logged into some apps requiring Google+ link such as Clash of Clans, I was unable to sign into link my account. I also realised the Google Play Games app did into work, it just showed blank loading pages for tab.
So here's what I did (Android 5.0 - Galaxy S5 stock):
Go to Settings>Applications>Application Manager>All
Now go to the Google Play Games App then disable the app. This uninstalls the new version of the app that was updated 15th May 2015. Instead you are reverted back to a older version of the app, which works perfectly. Now you will be able to link your accounts requiring Google+/Google Play.
Since Google released the update quite recently, people have experienced the same issue. I am hoping a new update will be available soon so you can update to that and skip this current update and never have to worry about the bug again.
But at least with this fix you can enjoy your Google Play Games.
Which one version of Google Play Games do I have to install?
Hi,
I own a LG G2, non rooted, updated my phone through LG PC Suite, from Android 4.4 to 5.02.
The new version, 5.02, has been causing a lot of problems with the google apps.
1) Got message about updating google services when I already had the latest version
FIX: Uninstalled all updates on Play, G+, Gmail and Services, cleared cache and installed them again, stopped receiving the message about update.
2) G+ freezes after some clicking around , loads forever and android system ask if I want to wait or close the app.
3) In-game purchases along with the settings for payment method in Google Play does not work anymore. I tried to remove the payment methods and add them again. When I want to press "OK" button to accept the credit card number or PayPal account the screen just loads and nothing happens, even after several hours.
The new update for my phone seems to have some serious problem with the Google Apps.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards

Hey everyone,
I recently bought the Huawei Nova Plus, about 2 weeks ago. I noticed a problem early today- I can't seem to access any of Google's apps (YouTube, Google+, Google Now etc) or sites (using Chrome; Opera Mini works fine, weirdly) when I'm on my WiFi connection. Any idea what's wrong? None of this occurs on mobile data. All of Google's sites open fine on my PC, so it's not my connection. I've cleared the cache for Play Services and both data and cache for Chrome. My build number: MLA-L11C185B151.
As a side note, anyone know when Nougat will be arriving? And does anyone else experience a huge phone hang when downloading large apps from the Play Store when default storage is set to SD card? Lastly, where can I get the full stock ROM (came with B131CUSTC185D001), for emergencies...
