Hi all,

 

I hope somebody can help with this.

 

I have an HTC One M9 running Marshmallow. Seemingly for no particular reason last night I started to get a message flash up saying "Unforunately Google Play Services has stopped" with the options "OK" or report. Pressing either cleared the message briefly. This is constant, I cannot get rid of this message!

 

I Googled the problem & have tried every suggestion. I've force stopped play services & cleared the cache. Deleted & reset my Google account. Uninstalled & reinstalled play services. Even done a factory reset. Nothing has worked. As soon as it's rebooted the message is back, returning as soon as it's cleared. The phone asked to update play services, which I did, & guess what. It's still there.

 

The phone is virtually unusable at the moment as I don't get enough time between the messages to do anything & none of the Google apps will work without play services running.

Try uninstalling updates from Google Play Store too and then allow it to update again.
Rebooting in between is a good idea too.

Thanks MI5. I've tried that, unfortunately still the same.

 

Strangely when I did the last factory reset play services had disappeared when the phone booted, nowhere to be found? I downloaded a copy from apk mirror & installed that. Immediately I got "play services has stopped" The phone then asked to update play services, which I did. Again immediately after the message is back.

 

Starting to feel like I'm going round in circles! By the way, I did see a couple of messages from December saying that Google knows of a problem with play services & is working on a fix. Haven't found any more than that. Anybody else heard of this?

Play services shouldn't just disappear and I would be very wary about installing system apk's in the way you did.
More preferable would be to factory reset again which is what I would try now if it was me.

Something is badly wrong here, you shouldn't have to sideload with an apk. Factory reset for sure.

Definitely a factory reset.  Once the factory reset has been done, check the phone itself for any software/firmware updates to make sure it's on the latest available version. 

 

It may also be worth trying a different google account, just in case something is wrong with the original google account

Thanks

I've just done a factory reset & again play services has disappeared! I get notification that I need to install play services but can't as neither google account setup or play store will work without it.

I'd just reboot the phone a couple of times and wait and see if it installs itself.

Unfortunately none of the above worked. I spoke to an O2 guru, probably the less said about that the better!

 

I've now rooted it with Cyanogenmod 13, reinstalled all the Google apps & it's perfect.

 

Thanks for all your help anyway
