update, it is enought to install the dualrecovery. i had it when i installed init.d toggler and i thought that was the solution. to install init.d toggler it says that i need busybox, but i couldn't install busybox. but when u install the dual recovery busybox gets installed. i didn't want to install the recovery to keep the phone more secure :\
[Networking] trigo:
how do i manually fix my network connection to gprs or umts and not auto band?

i am having weak umts signal and it has priority over gprs and i dont need umts most of the time.

Terence
[Networking] Killbillprime:
trigo

Do you mean how to you force your phone to stay on GSM., rather then switing to UMTS? well thats what i think you mean,

all you do matey is go into the phone pad select menu then options

you will see alot of tabs at the bottom, keep going right until you come across the BAND tab,

in there change your network type to GSM

hope that helps

Peace out.

The only fix is changing location to "DEVICE ONLY". If it still happens after that clear all data associated with "GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES"

Until google does something this is all we got as far as I'm aware. I've tried everything and this is the only reliable thing. Minus reverting versions.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Lol my fix is flashing a 5/12 gapps and have no problems whatsoever for the past couple of days.
[Nexus 6  General] crachel:
Is this a bug report for Xposed?
[Nexus 6  General] bworley50:
Do you have a link to those gapps?
[Nexus 6  General] michmeister:
What does xposed have to do with this thread???
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
using google play services v. 7.5.66 and not a single issue here. you can try downgrading or updating your play services.
[Nexus 6  General] crachel:
This looks like a problem with an Xposed module. The posts I highlighted below are all from today and they all have the same problem. If that's the case the thread doesn't belong here. That's why I ask. Troubleshooting problems and not posting your phone's configuration is completely pointless. Hence your confusion as to why I'm asking a valid question followed up immediately by another user who has no problems whatsoever with the Google Play Services in question.
[Nexus 6  General] derekr44:
Negative. I and several others have been experiencing this since Wednesday and do not use Xposed. There are many posts in Chroma, Bliss, Benzo with this exact issue.

[Nexus 6  General] crachel:
Have any of the others been totally stock?
[Nexus 6  General] derekr44:
No, it doesn't seem as if it is affecting stock.

My guess is that it's bumping up against something in AOSP.
[Nexus 6  General] torecdude:
im using stock 5.1 and stock kernel and i had those FC issues. I recommend to anyone having those issues:

1. Disable Xposed via twrp using terminal command like it says right here : http://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-lollipop-stuck-bootloop-t3055816

2. Update every module to lastest version.

3. Delete disable file at /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/ with root explorer to able xposed to work again.

Solved my problem.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
im using terminus rom, which was updated with the newest code yesterday from aosp, and im using play services v 7.5.65, and i dont have this issue. my guess is that its not aosp code doung it, but other code thats in those roms thats causing the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] derekr44:
Yeah. It's really odd. No one really wants to dig deeper into it, but it's definitely a problem with writing/reading the mobile location in memory.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
well, im pretty sure its because of code that was recently added to that rom. but which code it is, im clueless.
[Nexus 6  General] ticklemepinks:
any update on this???
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
new banks gapps, flash them
[Nexus 6  General] morbid_bean:
I wish this thread would gain more traction, it saddens me to see my current ROMs thread get saturated by posts about this issue when its been identified that it is not a ROM problem.
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
The worst part about this is the new play services work perfectly fine on the stock rom. The only roms that seem to have problems are AOSP based roms. The developers of all of the AOSP roms have said over and over that it's not the rom and that it's the new play services causing the issue. But if play services works fine on the stock rom and not on AOSP roms then how is it play services that's the problem? So that, to me, tells me that it's something that needs either fixed in AOSP source code or something needs changed in the rom config to work with the new play services, right?

I have flashed back and forth like 20 times between stock and AOSP based roms all weekend to test this and I never get the problem on stock. It's always just the AOSP based roms. For now I've managed to stay on chroma with play services 7.3 without it auto-updating, but I'm betting that will be short lived.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
again, it was banks gapps, which are fixed now. im on a custom rom as well, terminus, and this issue was never an issue for people using it. but i use an older banks gapps, as do many other users.
[Nexus 6  General] GreeKNastY:
can i just flash updated gapps over current gapps or must we wipe?

im on a banks gapps from about a month ago and gps closing just started 2 days ago
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
I have tried every gapps package I could find. As soon as play services would update to the newest version 7.5.xx the force closes would start on any gapps package. And the newest banks gapps from today does the same thing so it's not fixed. If I use the 5/18 banks gapps that has play services 7.3 I have no issues either. As soon as google silently updates my play services the force closes start.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
you can dirty flash your rom and gapps, abd youll be fine. no wiping needed.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

im using terminus rom, and i dont have the issue, no one else in that thread does either..
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
I'm flashing terminus as we speak. If it DOES work on terminus that does 100% point to it being a rom issue. Terminus is one of the roms I didn't test it with. I tried Euphoria, CM12 and Chroma and all had the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
i reported in the croma thread a few days ago, that i thought it was some recent code added, but others said that banks fixed his gapps.
[Nexus 6  General] puritan007:
I'm sick of XDA. I'm sick of excuses and bs. If I can install several gapps versions on lots of ROMs and not have problems, but on one rom have problems to me that's the ROM not the gapps.... Everyone, sacrifice your high accuracy location for some **** 1/32 supposed speed increase by everywhere art. The issues are caused by everywhere art, it's been removed in ROMs with responsible devs, and they work fine.... So well this is just me ranting
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
Yep it's definitely a ROM issue. I just used a junk google account and setup my phone on terminus and chroma both and using banks gapps 5/24 from today with the newest play services. I set both installs up as a new device. When I turned on smartlock on terminus I did everything like adding a bluetooth device, on body detection, and trusted places and they were all rock solid. As soon as I tried to add a trusted place on chroma, boom, force closes everywhere and constant. I knew it wasn't gapps causing the issue.

BTW, thanks for pointing out terminus. It's a damn nice rom that I think I'll try out for a while. :)

Ahhh so that explains it. Chroma runs art everywhere (not really sure what that does anyway) but I'm glad someone knows what is causing the problem. Thanks for pointing it out!

Edit: was just told Terminus uses art everywhere and it works fine on that rom so it has to be something else.
[Nexus 6  General] TrickTracy:
For me the problem persists regardless of the version of "Google Play Services" install, I tried with the new and old versions and works well only until the next reboot. I just found that the only solution is to clean the cache of this service and works very smoothly until the next reboot or the option of location leaving it in "Only device" but as much use GPS helps me a lot in "High accuracy"so for me it's best to erase cache after a restart ... Sorry for my bad English, i use Google Translator ...
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
What ROM are you running? You shouldn't have to clear cache on play services after every reboot. That's a dumb band aid fix.
[Nexus 6  General] TrickTracy:
I'm using the latest version of Chroma. Something wrong to be clearing the cache?
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
Nothing is wrong with it, but you shouldn't have to do that to make things work.
[Nexus 6  General] TrickTracy:
Ok Ahhh! thanks for the clarification, I know I should not be so but so far considering that I use a lot the location feature for me is the only immediate solution, although I still awaiting a definitive solution ...
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
I just flashed Terminus ROM and it works solid with that. It almost has to be an issue with certain roms.
[Nexus 6  General] TrickTracy:
Thank you very much for your help and guide novice like me, then I will try Terminus ROM. Thanks again for everything!
[Nexus 6  General] cjwaggsrx8:
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps. These are fresh.. Working good so far
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
They still have the force close issue depending on what rom you use.
[Nexus 6  General] cjwaggsrx8:
What ROMs don't have the issue?
[Nexus 6  General] ttabbal:
Stock works. Reports say Terminus does as well. I'm planning to try Terminus, and am on the latest factory image from Google.
[Nexus 6  General] billydroid:
Anything stock. I've tried everything and only cm based roms have the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] funcrusher:
There are definitely aosp roms with the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] Journyman16:
Caveat: YMMV as I am on a Note 3 n9005. I use Temasek's CM12.1 ROM (currently v11.8) and started having the FC's for GP Services a little while back. There seem to be a number of issues involved (I haven't tried Terminus... yet :D) and several times I thought I found a solution - latest is that the version seemed wrong for my screen DPI. I was at 330dpi but my version was 438 which is for 480 DPI.

Now before you scream at me for being in the wrong phone, I also tried Calkulin's_Google_Play_Services_v7.3.29(430)_for_Lollipop which you will note is the OPO thread.

It works on my Note 3. Not only that, it doesn't update.

As I said, I thought the version fixed things but it came back, so i have gone back to the OPO solution and no more FC's.

If you want to try correct version...

If you have changed your DPI then check the number in [Apps] [All] [Google Play Services] - the last 3 digits tell you what the version is...

e.g. 7.5.66 (1939950 - 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"]*

So for Note 3 we are on 4 (>= v5 Android) 3 (armeabi-v7a) and then pick version based on DPI.

Info and versions available at APKMirror website

NOTE: Changing your version may nuke your Google Account - I had to re-add my account after trying a couple of these.

Hope this helps - make sure you nandroid BEFORE trying the Calkulin one... just in case. It SHOULD work as it isn't a hardware thing, but I am not responsible... :D
[Nexus 6  General] freddienuxx:
I must say no need to bash the Roms and devs! Say that I tried several Gapps and it was G.p.s not the roms
[Nexus 6  General] SeVIIn:
Tried a ton of different GAPPS and a couple different ROMS and even wiped my phone clean, but nothing has fixed the Play Service issue aside from changing the GPS settings -_-
[Nexus 6  General] HipKat:
Here's a better fix;

Flash the last PA Gapps that was ever built and let Play Store update them and back them up with TB. I've flashed this package for months and never had a problem with Play Services

http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/5-1-x-5-0-x-4-4-x-pa-gapps-mirror-t3069879
[Nexus 6  General] ajm786:
The problem with all these approaches are that they are a temporary fix, and are better called an "effort for nothing". After you go through all that pain and hassle, your Google Play Services gets AUTO UPDATED, which renders everything you did null and void.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
again, its a rom issue. there are roms with added code that this issue happens with, and there are roms without this code that everything works fine. switch to a working rom for the moment. terminus works as it should, no play services issues.
[Nexus 6  General] nookcoloruser:
I'm completely stock and have been experiencing this.

Started when watching YouTube, then google play services error - then wouldn't sign in to play store etc....

So its not just ROMs or xposed.
[Nexus 6  General] InteliDroid:
Yeah, but they aren't getting an "error" (maybe some are) but a constant Force Close... It's really steering me away from CM12.1 and staying on stock.

I also wanna know what "code" is added to certain roms causing this issue...
[Nexus 6  General] ajm786:
I know this commit is probably for the OnePlusOne, but do you guys think this would have anything to do with the issue?

I'm running SlimLP 5.1.1 on my Note 4 - SM-N910W8 - Running High Accuracy - GPS location etc And I haven't had a single issue with Play Services fc on any of Dan's Slim Gapps - Regardless of the Play Services version - Currently running 05/25 Gapps with the latest Play Services.

It would appear that it's somewhat device and Rom related - because there are a number of people who haven't had any issues

[Nexus 6  General] :
This is so f&@%#&$&#& annoying. Nothing I do will stop the gplay fcs, no gapps packages... Only setting device to "device only" on location does the trick and I'm ocd. If something doesn't work or I can't use it I'll flash away immediately. lol. All stock LMY47I now and will stay until there's a fix. Issue doesn't exist stock rooted for me.. Sure missing Carbon. :( Gotta be something in some of these roms code like simms said.. Otherwise all roms would have it and they don't..
[Nexus 6  General] ajm786:
I posted a filtered logcat for all GMS (Google Play Services) when I was getting the error. Is it possible for someone more experienced than me to look it over to potentially identify what the issue is?
[Nexus 6  General] supercluver:
I'm on stock rom (5.1). Rooted & running Xposed (Amplify is the only module). My play services auto-updated this morning and now it is constantly force closing. The temp fix of setting location to device only prevents the crashing. Not sure it is entirely ROM related, seems to me to be a serious bug in the location features of play services.
[Nexus 6  General] Medic1013:
I had this issue on Chroma. I tried a clean flash and still had the issue. While I was clean flashing I tried Terminus since others reported no issues and lo and behold no issues. I'm running latest version with latest banks gapps.
[Nexus 6  General] supercluver:
I disabled amplify, and set my location back to battery saving. Rebooted and no more crashing of play services (so far, but it has been quite a while and before it would have crashed several times by now). Too bad, I was getting pretty nice battery life too... I may play around in amplify and see if I can figure out what i'm limiting t as far as wakelocks or alarms go that would be causing this issue...
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
The force closes only happen when you are in high accuracy mode. GPS only and Battery Saving modes work fine.

Edit: What stock build are you running? Because I tried the D and I builds and had no issues with the newest play services at all.
[Nexus 6  General] supercluver:
I was getting the crashes even in battery saving mode. Only GPS only gave no crashes. I'm on LMY47E.
[Nexus 6  General] :
No, they happen in battery saving mode as well. LMY47I firmware here and don't get any fcs on stock rooted just Chroma and Carbon is what I have em on lately..
[Nexus 6  General] Twogun4587:
I'm on the latest Chroma -

Something auto updated with Google play services and it started causing the FC's. I went ahead and updated to the newest banks gapps and upon restart, I don't even have the google play store installed anymore. I have disabled GPS and set it to device only, flashed, and restarted, coming up with the same result.
[Nexus 6  General] ajm786:
Yep, that's what I was seeing here too; FCs even on battery saving mode.
[Nexus 6  General] rycheme:

i was installing chroma today on my new nexus5 and had the problem with the GPServices...I though the problem was something with chroma but after changing location mode "device only" the crashes are gone bit this is not a final solution
[Nexus 6  General] Medic1013:
I had also done the "device only" work around but I found myself needing to use maps and needed precise GPS coordinates. So far with terminus I'm using "high accuracy" without issues so far.
[Nexus 6  General] vx2ko:
Does everyone on here have Android Wear installed and actually use some kind of Android Wear device with their phone? If so, and you are still experiencing the errors, can you try something? Turn your GPS back to High Accuracy and wait till the errors start coming. Then disable bluetooth to disconnect you Android Wear device. Tell me what happens?
[Nexus 6  General] ajm786:
Don't have any kind of Android Wear device, and do not have BT enabled at all.
[Nexus 6  General] vx2ko:
Ok, just a hunch. Saw someones logcat on here and noticed before the error, Android Wear started something. I got the errors on Chroma and disable bluetooth and they stopped instantly. Maybe a false lead. Not sure at the moment.
[Nexus 6  General] mrgwap:
Yeah I put it on device only and haven't had the problem all day its really annoying cuz I need my phone on high accuracy...
[Nexus 6  General] ajm786:
Some people have reported that with the latest CM nightly 20150526 there are no Google Play Services FCs.

Can anyone give it a shot and see if it's true? I don't feel like wiping my phone again after crack flashing yesterday. Also, it's kinda strange, because I dissected the commits but couldn't find one that could possibly relate to these issues.
[Nexus 6  General] mrgwap:
I know right I had a three day weekend and I was flashing ROMs on my phone the whole time trying to fix this issue still nothing except if I put it on device only which sucks
[Nexus 6  General] sabbotage:
Yep it works perfect on terminus and stock roms. At least for me it does. I saw a few report problems on stock, but my N6 and N5 both work fine on stock and terminus both with the newest play services 7.5.71 on high accuracy.
[Nexus 6  General] Kris Nelson:
AOSiP.. does not have this problem either.. :)
[Nexus 6  General] orangechoochoo:
Do you know what changes this ROM has that makes Play Services happy?
[Nexus 6  General] Kris Nelson:
We haven't made any changes.. We never had the issue to begin with.. I tested all the gapps prior to our recent release with no issues, no force closes, etc. . So, It's not an AOSP issue as we are also AOSP base.

Everyone is blaming Gapps or Google but that's just not case or everyone would be experiencing this.
[Nexus 6  General] tom1807:
Sorry, stopped at page 4 of this thread, because everyone suspects ROM, GPS and so on.

Had the same issue with FC on my N6 and I noticed that Google Play Services occupied a lot of data.

Clearing Cache as some people suggested didn't work for me either.

However, what worked for me, even I see no connection, was cleaning the data of Chrome, Google+ and Google Play Music, because they occupied the most space beside Google Play Services

Since then no FC anymore for me since 3 days
[Nexus 6  General] vx2ko:
I have to agree. The fact that it doesn't happen on all ROMs definitely means its something being baked in. Its either something with a feature or the couple of ROMs that don't suffer, already have the "fix". Just my opinion.
[Nexus 6  General] olegausa:
I don't have Google + or Chrome or Play Music but have Play Books and have the problem
[Nexus 6  General] vx2ko:
Well I just tried your suggestion. I cleared my chrome, play store, and drive cache and switched back to high accuracy, then rebooted. So far, no FCs here. Chrome is the only thing we both cleared cache and data on. Maybe have a few more try that?

---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

Try clearing cache and data of any google app including the play store. Then check and see if they come back
[Nexus 6  General] ajm786:
As I pointed out earlier, this is a temporary fix at best. It ends up coming back with a vengeance on either reboot or accessing anything having to do with location services.
[Nexus 6  General] vx2ko:
You are correct my friend. Sorry, just skimmed through the thread. Well I guess we will have to wait.
[Nexus 6  General] tom1807:
Then the "temporary" fix works for me since 3 days and I rebooted already when updating AdAway.

Btw. my N6 is stock ROM, just rooted and TWRP recovery.

GPS v7.5.71.

I am using the location services with High accuracy mode, in fact the following programs are running:

Cerberus

Google App

Google Contacts

Google Dialer

Google Play Services <-- the only with High battery use

HD Widget
[Nexus 6  General] mba1973:
sry, but thats not correct. i have the fc's with the latest build and banks gappa. :(
[Nexus 6  General] Kris Nelson:
Then you're the only person that has reported it on AOSiP.. And likely not at all related to this constant fc issue others are having or all our users threads and g+ community would be like the hell fire blew up LOL

Try clean flash including system data and both caches .. I only recommend slim gapps as well
[Nexus 6  General] mba1973:
i've done a clean flash, but with banks gapps. i'll give slime gapps a try and report back if these gapps solved the issue

UPDATE:

Until now No FC´s with latest Slim GApps Pakage.

Sync Maps Google etc. all works without any FC´s.

Link:

http://104.236.22.120/index.php?device=gapps/lollipop/5.1

Update2:

after configure Facebook i gt the FC´s.

:(

so in my opinion it doesn´t matter wich gapps do you flash.

after gplay service upgraded to the latest version you will get the FC´s.+

(Ok in some cases not)

I have testet Stock,

Cm Based Roms , AOSiP and Purity with differnet Gapps.

And the result was always the same, after play services updated to the latest version i get the FC´s.
