Probably every Android device has encountered an annoying message "Service of services Google Play. Stopped - Send a report. " This system error in which there is no guilt, but you can still take a number of measures to eliminate this problem and prevent its appearance in the future.
Regardless of the causes of the error, you can alternately try the following solutions to eliminate it.

Decision number 1. Clear cache

It may be enough to clear the Google Play service cache. To do this, open the settings on your device, tap Application Manager and select Google Play Services in the list. Tap "Clear Cache".

After cleaning the cache, be sure to restart the device.

Decision number 2. Re-add your Google account

If it does not help, you can delete and add your google account again. It is known that on the Android device you almost do everything through your Google account, which you entered at the very beginning after purchasing the device. So his reinstallation can help.
So, to delete an account, go to the settings and find "Accounts". In addition to other accounts there will be a Google account. Tap it, and you will find the ability to remove the account.

After that, you need to add it again. To do this, select the settings in the section "Accounts" item "Add account" Visageard will open, where you will re-pass the steps to enter the data. After that, the problem may disappear. But there are further options for its solution.

Decision number 3. Reinstall Google Play Services

Cash we have already tried to clean in the first way, so now you can try to reinstall the services. Google Play Services is a basic application on android devicewhich is necessary for the work of everything else. Therefore, it will not be completely removed. But you can reinstall all the updates of Google Play services, and thus get their fresh version. To do this, you just need to deactivate the device administrator. After the administrator deactivation, you can delete updates and renovate.

• To deactivate the device administrator, go to "Security" settings, tap "Device Administrators" and checkbox. The administrator's shutdown screen opens.

Administrator deactivated.

• Now go to "Application Manager", select Google Play Services. You will see that the "Delete Updates" button appeared.

• Remove them.
• To deliver updates again, try using any application. They will not earn right away. First you are offered to install service updates. Install them.
• After reinstalling updates, activate the device administrator again
• Restart the device

Now the error should disappear

Decision number 4. Clear Google Services Framework Cache

And there is another way. It is known that the work of Google Play services depends on the application of the application Google Services. Framework. This system application is responsible for the exchange of data with Google servers and for your data to be synchronized with them. If something is wrong with Framework, then something is wrong with Google Play services. Therefore, naladim google work SERVICES Framework, clearing his cache.

To do this, go to "Application Manager" and find "Google Services Framework" in it. Tap it and tap "to stop forcibly". After that, tap "Clear Cache". Restart the device.

After that, the error "Works Google Play service is stopped sending a report" Most likely disappear.

More All error codes with additional solutions are described. If it does not help, it remains to be advised to turn to professionals.

Google has quickly passed the way from a small search engine to a giant infrastructure whose components work on our PCs, smartphones, tablets and even TVs. Google is tirelessly collects information about us, search queries Thoroughly logged, movements are tracked, and passwords, letters and contact information are preserved for years ahead. All this is an integral part of our time, but we can easily change it.

Introduction

It's no secret that any device under android management (At least what Google is certified) contains not only components collected from AOSP, but also an impressive number of proprietary Google programs. These are the very Google Play, Gmail, Hangouts, Maps and a bunch of applications, including a dialer and camera (starting with Kitkat).

There are not only these components for all of these components. source codeBut in general, any explanations about the principles of their work. Many of them were initially created to collect certain types of information and send them to Google servers. So, for example, GooglebackupTransport behave responsible for synchronizing the list installed applications, passwords and other data, googcontactssyncadapter, which synchronizes the list of contacts, or Chromebookmarkssyncadapter, whose work is to synchronize the browser bookmarks. Plus collecting information about all requests in the search engine.

In the very fact of synchronization, of course, there is nothing bad, and this is a great mechanism that allows you to configure new phone for counting minutes, and google now even manages to give us useful information Based on our data (sometimes). The problem is only that all this is crumbling our confidentiality, because, as Snowden showed, under the Hall of AB (and, most likely, the heap of other services) is not only any evil empire called Microsoft, but also Google, and Also many other companies from the party "We are not evil, and fluffy patrons".

Talking in other words: Google will fuck us all without any problems, and it's not a fact that his staff sitting in their offices with masseuses and dogs, do not rzut over the names from your contact book (everything is encrypted there, yes), drinking 15-year-old Puer From Yunnan Province. Or maybe this google? Take them Android, and they themselves go to the forest?

What is Google Apps

The latest Kitkat-based custom firmware version for my smartphone weighs 200 MB, however, in order to obtain a real expirers from the smartphone, I must flash on top of it and the Gapps archive, the size of which is 170 MB. Only after that I will receive a system similar to the pre-installed on the Nexus device, with all buns in the form of an integrated desktop integrated, screen lock based on a picture of a picture, a camera with spherical shooting and a kilogram of the Google software, ranging from Google Play and ending Google Books.

I repeat once again: all this is a closed software from Google, which is in good at all can not be distributed without their knowledge (therefore it is not in custom firmware such as CyanogenMod), but since it is quite simple to remove it from the firmware Nexus-devices, you can find it in the network A huge number of similar archives, including strongly cut down. In order to release a smartphone on Android with a set of Gapps on board, the manufacturer must send it to the certification in Google, which, appreciating the quality and performance of the smartphone, or give good, either swelling (but the Chinese does not stop at all).

So Google Apps falls on the smartphone. From users of 99% or use pre-installed applications, or they are installed on their own on an absolutely clean and fully anonymous firmware. And then from the moment of entering the username and password, synchronization and discharge of information begins.

To figure out how this happens, unpack the same archive with Gapps and take a look inside. We are interested in Catalogs / System / App and / System / Priv-App, when installing their contents are copied to the catalogs of the same name inside the smartphone. The second directory is an innovation of Kitkat, it contains applications using system APIs marked as "private" and not available to regular applications.

In the / System / App directory we will find a large number of Different Google applications, easily recognizable by the name of the package: Books.apk, Chrome.apk, Gmail2.apk and so on. Each of them will share information in its own way, but it is absolutely normal (yes, Google will know that you read Paulo Coelo through their app!). GoogyContactSyncadapter.apk is the greatest danger here, which meets only the contact list of contacts on the remote server. Record the name in the notebook and go on.

Most files from the / System / Priv-App directory are services and frameworks needed to launch all this mahina synchronization and surveillance:

• Googlebackuptransport.apk - is engaged in synchronizing these applications installed, wi-Fi passwords and some settings;
• Googleloginservice.apk - connects the device with google account;
• Googlepartnersetup.apk - allows third-party applications to access Google Services;
• Googleservicesframwork.apk - framework with different utilization functionality;
• Phonesky.apk - Play Store. (surprisingly);
• Prebuiltgmscore.apk - Google Services, as seen from the name, is the core of the whole set of Gapps;
• Velvet.apk - Search from Google, which includes a search string on the desktop and Google Now.

In essence, this is the part of Google Apps, which is responsible for the drain of our private information. Let's try to get rid of all this.

Method number 1. Disable through settings

The easiest way to untie the smartphone from Google is to take advantage of standard settings Systems. The method is good because it does not require root rights, nor the installation of custom firmware, no custom recovery. Everything can be done in any stock firmware without losing access to account and Gmail type applications (if necessary). However, no one will handvail for efficiency, as it is possible that some Gapps components will continue to send data.

The main location of the synchronization settings is the menu "Settings -\u003e Accounts -\u003e Google -\u003e [Email Protected]" Here you can disable things like synchronization of contacts, application data, Gmail, Play Music, Google Keep and so on. All you need to do is just remove the checkmarks from the right menu items. Next, we go to the "Settings -\u003e Recovery and Reset" menu and remove the daws from the Reservation of Data Reservation and Auto Stop.

For a variety of synchronization settings, the Google Settings application is also answered, which is part of Google Services. With it, in particular, you can disable google access to the location ("Access geodan -\u003e Access to my geodan / sending geodata / location history"), disable the sending of personal data search engine ("Search -\u003e Personal Data"), disable Google Now ("Search -\u003e Google Now") and disable remote control (" Remote control -\u003e Remote Device Search / Remote Lock and Reset Settings ").

In the same "Google Settings", by the way, you can disable any application using Google account for authorization. At the same time, it is not only about the software installed on the device, but in general about all ever used applications, including websites. For example, I found many sites on this list, which I didn't go for at least a couple of years.

In the event that you are not going to use Google's services at all, it is easier to turn off the smartphone from the account completely, that is, simply delete it through the settings: "Settings -\u003e Accounts -\u003e Google -\u003e [Email Protected] -\u003e Menu button -\u003e Delete Account.

Most Google applications can be painlessly disable via the settings: "Applications -\u003e All -\u003e The desired application -\u003e Disable.

Settings google account
Google Settings

Method number 2. Cleaning the official firmware

In the event that there are on the stock firmware root rightsFrom Google Apps you can get rid of, simply removing them from the smartphone. As I said, all of them are stored in the / System / App and / System / Priv-App directories. For example, in the case of Kitkat, Google applications in the first directory will be:

• Books.apk - Google Books;
• Calendargoogle.apk - Google Calendar;
• Chrome.apk - Google Chrome;
• CloudPrint.apk - cloud printing system;
• Drive.apk - Google Drive;
• Geniewidget.apk - news and weather widget;
• Gmail2.apk - gmail;
• Googurcontactssyncadapter.apk - contact synchronization;
• Googleears.apk - Google Ears (Shazam Analogue);
• Googleearth.apk - Google Earth;
• Googlehome.apk - Home screen with integrated Google Now;
• Google talls.apk - speech synthesis system;
• Hangouts.apk - Google Hangouts;
• Keep.apk - Google Keep;
• LatinimeGoogle.apk - keyboard with gestures support;
• Magazines.apk - Google magazines;
• Maps.apk - Google Maps;
• Music2.apk - Google Music;
• Playgames.apk - Google Playgames;
• Plusone.apk - Google+;
• QuickOffice.apk - QuickOffice;
• Street.apk - Google Street;
• Sunbeam.apk - Sunbeam live wallpaper;
• Videos.apk - Google films;
• YouTube.apk - YouTube.

In the / System / Priv-App directory, other files are also stored:

• Calendarprovider.apk - stores calendar data;
• Googlefeedback.apk - sends a report on the use of Google Play;
• GoogleOnTimeInitilaLizer.apk - Fastener Installation Wizard for Additional Google Applications;
• Setupwizard.apk - setup wizard when you first start;
• Wallet.apk - Google Wallet;
• talkBack.apk - alert voice about events on the device.

A set of Gapps for Kitkat, among other things, also includes a proprietary camera with support for spherical shooting and the proprietary desktop with integrated Google Now.

But that's not all. Google Apps depend on several frameworks that are located in the / System / Framework directory. These are com.google.android .maps.jar files, com.google.android.media.effects.jar and com.google.widevine.Software.drm.jar. There are still many libraries in the / System / LIB directory, which are used exclusively google applications. It is not necessary to delete them at all. Just to clean the garbage. You will find their list on the site] [.

In the past (and in future) versions of the system, the contents of Google Apps differ, so before removing I recommend downloading Gapps the desired version From the site goo.im/gupps, unpack with WinRar and view content. You should also consider the dependence of some applications from the Market from Google applications, I will tell you more about this later.

This is only part of the libraries included in the Gapps

Method number 3. Custom firmware without Gapps

The previous way can be significantly easy to simplify, if you simply install a custom firmware on your smartphone without Google Apps. In this case, the smartphone / tablet will be crystal clear without any binding to Google. The disadvantage of this method is the lack of Google Play, but you can either replace with its third-party application store (about it below), or use the following method that includes the installation of the cut google versions Apps.

Method number 4. Google Play and nothing but

This method of partial dislocation from Google is a kind of compromise. It does not solve the surveillance problem - at least without settings from the first way - but it allows not to litter the system of a bunch of useless software, which will hang in the background and eat memory. The essence is simple - we set the custom firmware and pour over the minimalistic version of Gapps on top of it, which includes only Google Play.

There are many of these minimum GAPPS builds on the network, but I would recommend using a time-tested banks Gapps, namely the "month-number month Gapps.Core 4.4.2 signed.zip. They work on any smartphone, compatible with ART and include only the basic Gapps files, the list of which is given in the "What is Gapps" section, framework files, as well as several libraries. In essence, this is Google Play, synchronization tools and nothing more.

Change the search engine on duckduckgo

Even after a complete tripping on the home screen, the Google search row will remain on the home screen. In stock firmware of some manufacturers (samsung, for example) it is just a widget that can be easily removed from the screen. In pure Android and devices from many other manufacturers, she is "stitched" in the home screen, but it can be removed by turning off the whole search from Google (along with Google Now) using the Settings menu -\u003e Applications -\u003e All -\u003e Google Search -\u003e Disable "or installing a third-party launcher. Further sufficiently download from the Market or other store apps DuckduckGo and add the same name to the home screen.

Third-party market

The second and third way suggests the full disposal from Google Apps, including Google Play and the ability to login using Google Account, so we must find a way to simply and convenient installation of applications that would not force us to scroll them yourself, and then drop into memory card and Manually installed. One of these ways is to establish a third-party market.

At the moment there are three more or less viable alternatives to Google Play. This is Amazon AppStore, Yandex.Store and 1mobile Market. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages that are mainly reduced to the number of applications and payment methods:

• Amazon Appstore is the most famous application store after Google Play. Contains more than 75 thousand applications (in comparison with 800 thousand in Google Play), the quality of each of which is checked manually, as well as in iTunes for iOS. You can pay with a credit card or Amazon Coins (Amazon Coins), which give as a gift for buying a Kindle Fire tablet or as a gift from another user. One of the most interesting traits of the store is a daily free distribution of one of the paid applications.
• Yandex.store - shop from Yandex. Contains more than 85 thousand applications, each of which is checked by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. It is not particularly distinguished by anything, but it has a killer feature in the form of the possibility of paying for purchases using the Yandex.Money service or mobile phone accounts.
• 1Mobile Market is the largest third-party android application repository, which includes more than 500 thousand softens. It differs from other availability of exclusively free applications (not to be confused with pirates), which makes it possible not to pass the step of registration of the account and save anonymity.

Applications in all three markets have original digital applications developers, which allows them to be used simultaneously. The application installed from one market may be updated without any problems, and when deleted will be disappeared from the list installed immediately in all. Buy, however, will have separate.

Amazon AppStore.
Yandex.market. 1mobile Market.

Open Source Market

In addition to those described in the article, as well as many other less well-known application stores, you can find different from the other repository. It is completely anonymous and contains only a free software distributed under licenses approved by the FSF Fund. Applications in the F-DROID are only a thousand, but all of them are guaranteed not to contain backdors and other personal data disclosure systems. It is the F-DROID that is used as a default market in the free Android-firmware REPLICANT.

Solving the problem of the dependence of applications from Google Apps

Despite the fact that the GAPPS components are not part of the Android official API, some applications still expect to see them in the system, which is why a number of problems may arise - from the complete inoperability of the application before the loss of part of its functions may occur. Some applications will refuse to be installed due to the lack of Google Maps API, others fall immediately after launch, without finding it, the third includes direct links to Google Play, which can lead to drops and incorrect work.

To solve these problems, the MAR-V-IN user started the NogApps project, within which a set of open components is being developed, replacing the original Google Apps functionality. There are currently available three components of the replacement:

• Network location - Wi-Fi-based geolocation service basic stations GSM. Based on the Apple IP address database and the open base station database;
• MAPS API - Replacing the interface to Google Maps based on OpenStreetMap;
• Blankstore is an open alternative to the Play Store client. Allows you to install free Apps From the Google store, but not recommended for use due to possible sanctions from the search engine (this is prohibited by their rules).

Installing components is made separately and different ways. Network Location It is enough to manually copy to the / System / App / App / APP Catalog / in Android 2.3-4.3 or in the / System / Priv-App / in Kitkat directory (in this case, the NetworkLocation-GMS.apk file should be used). Maps API is installed using the firmware of the nogapps-maps.zip file through the recovery console. To install the market, you will have to not only copy the file, but also generate Android ID on a large machine, but because it is not recommended to do this, I will not tell about it and limit the reference to the instruction.

After all manipulations, the software must earn correctly.

conclusions

For the company Google Android Without her own applications, it is useless, so there is nothing surprising that the company makes them the most delicious parts of the system and leaves the code closed. However, in this article I showed that life without Gapps is and it can even be easier and more convenient than from Google.

Google services can be seen in the Android settings section demonstrating the state of the battery, in a row of active perpetrators to significantly reduce the duration of the battery. Of course, the problem of the disappearing charge through the functioning of unused embedded services has a solution to the solution, but first should be dealt with the causes of its occurrence. For this, it is important to understand which tasks are running Google services.

Google Account Manager: At the disposal of users who applied to information about this service are not given so much information. Its main purpose - Google account data synchronization, including email And other tools related to it, with a mobile device.

Google Services Framework: The service is responsible for managing a multitude of variable communications with Google, including cloud messages.

Google Contacts Sync: The service allows synchronizing android contacts With Google Account Contacts. You can find them after that in the official mail or at Google.com/contacts. Synchronization is bidirectional, so a change in contact in mobile device Or on the Internet will entail an ubiquitous amendment.

Google Backup Transport: The service is carried out backup Application data on Google servers. Thus, when resetting settings on a mobile device, they can be restored.

Google Play Services: Application package that Android can use to ensure the full functioning of third-party software. It includes the location service, which is the most important consumer of the battery charge. A set of services is updated "by air" without a mandatory update of the operating system.

The main option capable of helping to choose a more efficient battery usage is a section of services responsible for setting location. When the application needs to establish the smartphone coordinates, it refers to the Google Play services, which, in turn, activate the built-in GPS hardware. In order to reduce the consumption of electricity consumption associated with the location services, you must go to the settings menu and find the section " Location»And the transition to mode" battery savings" Activation will prohibit " Google Play.»Include GPS on the device when applications request location information.

Many different programs refer to Google's services with this request. The official search program, which includes the services "" uses this information to display weather information in specific areas. Full shutdown "Google Now", along with the location, will ensure considerable battery charge savings. To do this, you need to get into the settings search application And disable the Google Now service in the appropriate section.

If Google services still discharge the battery after changing the location setting, it is quite likely to be an integrated synchronization tools. To stabilize the situation android settings Offer to remove the check mark icon from the point responsible for automatic data synchronization. The system will stop independently synchronizing the data in background mode. After that, the user will not receive notifications of new letters in Gmail, but the battery life of the device may increase.

In any case, Google services should not be the main load on the battery. If the problem is still observed after disconnecting all the above services, and third-party applications They are not obvious culprits, perhaps there is a mistake of the system itself. Performing a reset of settings in some cases will help get rid of the difficulties with Android. It is important to properly distribute priorities in the service issues, understanding, for which each of them is responsible, and turning off those that remain unused on a specific device.
