    I have a Huawei H1611 google play store would open but then immediately close. So I tried uninstalling updates and then I also tried uninstalling play store services. Now I cant get either one to reinstall the updates due to play store wont stay open long enough to do anything. And now that play store services updates are uninstalled every google app and service isnt working correctly or at least I’m getting notifications on everyone one slaying update google play services or that service will not be able to run. So please tell me how to fix ASAP and please don’t say i have to factory reset my phone. Or if i do please explain how to save everything without being able to run any google apps (email, sync, photos, calendar, nothing)

      Hi, update your “Google Services” first. It means that your Google services is outdated.

      Everyone should understand Google wants FULL ACCESS to ALL your online info and options. If you want to use Google you must submit. Its in the terms of service. They achieve this control through Google Services. Google Play will not work without “Goggle Services” if you want to use Google, you MUST SUBMIT !!! (I don’t know why they don’t just say that here) Submit by allowing Google total control via update and all will be bliss….

      Hello Shakes, but I am afraid you need to save all your important Data and do a factory reset. You may also try to update your android OS, if applicable.
