Google play services has stopped

Hi..

Solution 1 – Update Google Play Services to the latest version. You may be getting an error because you have a very outdated version or the one you have is having a conflict/bug with the current Android version in your phone.

Solution 2 – Clear the Google Play Services cache. The Google Play Services app in your phone acts like a framework for all the Google and Google Play apps installed in your phone. You can try cleaning up its cache and see if that would fix the issue. This worked with one of our team members! Read these quick and easy steps :

Go to Settings > Apps.
Scroll to All apps and then scroll down to “Google Play Services” app.
Open the app details and tap on the “Force stop” button.
Then, tap on the “Clear cache” button.

Solution 3 – Clear the Google Services Framework cache. The Google Services Framework system app on your Android device stores information and helps your phone sync with Google servers — and keeps your Google Play Services up and running. This could be one of the reasons why you are not able to connect to Google servers using the app and keep getting the error message. Read these quick and easy steps :

Go to Settings > Apps.
Scroll to All apps and then scroll down to “Google Services Framework” app.
Open the app details and tap on the “Force stop” button.
Then, tap on the “Clear cache” button.

Solution 4 – Check your Internet connection. May be your WiFi network is blocking any of the IP addresses that Google use. You can also try switching the WiFi on or off on your phone — same with mobile data.

Solution 5 – This goes without saying, but may be a simple reboot of your Android phone/tablet could fix the problem.

It is the most terrible error I have had on my Android phone. It popups in very short intervals and you can't even use the phone continue for 5 minutes without seeing Unfortunately, Google play services has stopped. 

I tried many fixes and finally it got fixed.. but it took me more than 3 hours in searching the solutions and trying them. But the result was worth spending the time. 

If someone is going through the same error, I would suggest you try the 5th solution here - https://www.mobipicker.com/fix-google-play-store-stopped-error-android-device/

Every Android app stores some part of data and files on your Android device for later usages like images, formatting, and other relevant files. These cached data saves time and processing power when you reopen the app later because all of the cached data are served quickly.

Sometimes these cached data are corrupted that causes certain apps to stop unexpectedly. But good thing is that we can easily clear cache data with just a tap on the button and it will help you solve the issue.

Google Play Services is a part of Google Play Store and both of them are somehow dependent on each other. Even though clearing its cache should fix your issue but in case you are still experiencing the problem, then clearing data on Google Play Services should help rectify the issue. This article can help you solve the issue.

In case you didn't know, you are responding to a thread started 5 years ago, with the last response being 2 years ago.  And the original poster never responded back.

Though, frankly, I'm surprised that phone number in the OP stayed up all these years.

I face this issue so many times. Why? Actually, I like to flash different android skins on my test smartphone, that's why I reinstall google services on my smartphone. But I know what's the common issue behind it, the only reason it happens because of cache memory. Just go to settings>apps>google services and clear the cache memory. That's it, now login to your google account and you're good to go.
