1. 1Mobile Market - 500 000 units of various software. Basically, all applications are free.
2. Yandex Store. There are 90,000 applications. Before connecting to the store, developers check them for viruses.
3. Amazon Appstore It contains 80,000 applications, each of them is checked manually. Here you can access daily one paid program.

Associated with one firmware. Google Play Services - What is it? What are they needed for? In this article, we will sort out the answers to these questions.

The essence of Google Play Services

Google Play Services is not an app. You cannot open it. However, by default it is installed on all devices with Android. In addition, he has a considerable list of requested permissions. This includes a lot: access to SMS messages, important data, all information from applications from Google and other things.

In short, Google Play Services is a component that is quite closely intertwined with the system itself.

In fact, it is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs), that is, auxiliary elements for programmers, a connecting link for programs and an update provider in one bottle.

What are Google Play Services doing?

Google Play services can be considered a kind of development round on smartphones. Take Google Maps for example: before the advent of Google Play Services, the application was updated only with updates for the OS. And we all know how much manufacturers and suppliers sometimes drag out with them. Today you don’t have to wait any longer, because thanks to Google Play Services, applications are updated automatically.

Google Play services allow you to install fresh versions of applications without waiting for updates for Andriod. Although not all, but only standard from Google (Gmail, Google+, Google Play, and so on). Google Play Services can also manage other programs that use services from Google, of which there are many.

In general, on any version of Android, starting with 2.2 and higher, system updates and various kinds of programs occur independently of each other. This is a very good innovation made for the convenience of Android users.

It first appeared in Android 4.3, and in subsequent versions of the OS it only improved, in particular on the 5th (Lollipop) and 6th (Marshmallow) version.

Can I turn off Google Play Services?

As is the case with all preinstalled applications on Android, it will not be possible to remove Google Play Services. But you can turn them off. We are heading along this path: “Settings” → “Applications” → “All”. Select Google Play Services and click on the "Disable" button.

If this button is unavailable (gray), do the following: open “Settings” → “Security” → “Device Administrators” and disable the rights from the Device Manager.

Most importantly, keep in mind that disabling Google Play Services may lead to the failure of many applications related to Google services and more. Of course, Google Play will also stop working.

Why do Google Play Services consume so much power?

Google Play Services typically consumes between 5 and 10 percent battery charge. Some users complain that this application takes as many as 80 and even 90. This is a fairly common problem that occurs, as a rule, after updating the OS. In most cases, its reason lies in the incompatibility of the version and the Google Play Services.

Here's what you can do in this case:

• Disable Google Play Services (problems with some services may occur)
• Delete updates (“Settings” → “Applications” → “All” → Google Play Services → “Delete Updates”). You may first need to go to the "Security" section, then to "Device Administrators" and disable Device Manager.
• Disable data sync with Google profile. Go to "Settings" → "Accounts", select Google and uncheck the corresponding items.

Did our article help you? All remaining questions can be asked in the comments.

To download the latest version of the official application for Android, just go to the Play Market, find the program you need in it and proceed with the download.

What is the Play Market. Benefits of downloading apps from Google Play

So, what is Play Market ( Google Play Market)  and "what do they eat it with"? Simply put, this is the official catalog of applications for Android. In addition to the official name, it is also customary to use such names as “Android Market” and “Google Market”.

How to optimally configure Play Market

Let's talk briefly about how to set up Play Market on a tablet. For complete comfort when working with the service, the Play Market has a number of useful options.

If you do not want to download installed application updates from the Market via the mobile Internet for the sake of saving money, you can configure Play Market to use only Wi-Fi for tasks of this kind.

To get quick access to new applications on Android, shortcuts can be automatically created on the main screen for each new applet.

In addition, among other settings of the Android Market, there are auto-update alerts and parental controls for installed applications.

Regarding security when working with the store and preventing private information and data about your credit card from falling into the wrong hands, additional authentication is available when buying and clearing the history of search queries.

Summary. An alternative to the Play Market is third-party resources with free software for Android. If you trust a specific forum or tracker, you can rely on unlicensed content. But in order to fully enjoy all the opportunities and services provided by the developers in the game or business application, the license will be indispensable. In any case, we advise you to go to the Play Market in order to update installed applications or find some interesting new products.

Answers to readers' questions

I wanted to download applications in the play market, but I did not have enough memory. I went into the memory settings and deleted the folders, and because of them the photos were deleted.

Answer. You never asked a question, but from the context it’s clear that you need to restore the photos, not Google Play. This section is intended. Carefully study it, install the proposed programs (PhotoRec, Recuva, Card Recovery, etc.) - this will solve the problem.

The Prestigio phone doesn’t download the Iota mobile application from the Play Store, it says that there is no memory. The size of the iota app on the Play Market is 17 MB, and the available memory on the phone is 290 MB. What to do?

Answer. It looks like you want to fill up the entire system memory of the device. This is not worth doing. We advise you to purchase a capacious sd card and download all user files and applications from the play market there, as well.

The tablet began to fail after we went into the settings and could not exit the settings in the main screen. They wrote to us that the applications do not respond (almost all applications) and we decided to restart the tablet. Rebooted - and all downloaded applications disappeared there. When we turn on the tablet, it still disappears again, even if we download something from Google Play again.

Answer. First, check the health of the memory card on which you installed the application. You can do this through a card reader, at the same time you can format the sd card with a program like SDFormatter (you can download it).

If all applications were downloaded to the internal memory of the tablet, make sure that there are no conflicts with other programs on Android. The best way to do this is to remove unnecessary applications or those after which the tablet began to fail.

The most radical way to solve the problem is to update the Android firmware. After flashing, go to the Play Market and download all applications again.

When downloading an application or game through the Play Market for Android, it gives an error: you must log into your Google account. What to do?

Answer. If you can’t access the Play Store, you’re most likely not logged in to Google or signed in to your Google Play account. To create an account you need to follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings - Accounts
2. To create an account, click Add account\u003e Google
3. Follow the wizard

You can use this Google account to sign in to the Play Market app on your phone.

After changing the software on the Sony smartphone, when trying to enter Google Play, a message appeared on the screen "Google Play service is suspended." What caused this? Is it possible to fix the problem and re-enter the Play Market on my own or can only the service center be able to do this?

Answer. Go to Android Settings -\u003e Applications menu -\u003e Application Management. By clicking the All button, enable the disabled service in the list. After that, you can enter the Play Market.

If this method does not help to enter the play market and the error repeats, try the following trick: go to the "Application Management" menu (see above) and clear the application cache by selecting the "Delete data - Clear cache" command sequence.

This article does not claim to be unique, but the tips presented in it can really help make the phone live on the battery a little longer.

Disclaimer: Everything that you do, you do consciously and at your own peril and risk. The author is not responsible for the performance of your device!

Root required to complete all actions.

1. We will need:
2. Apparatus
3. Disable Service program (advanced users can immediately install My Android Tools. This is a more advanced program of the same author, but for beginners it has a lot of extra. Advanced and rich can support the author by buying the Pro version).
4. Wakelock Detector Program
5. Straight arms

We make backup, in case something goes wrong, so that later it would not be excruciatingly painful!
We install the Wakelock Detector program, follow the instructions, watch how programs and services frolic, prevent the device from sleeping and eat the battery at the same time. We are filled with righteous anger, install the Disable Service and get down to business.

In the latest updates to Google Play, Dobra Corporation (tm) decided that all android users take care of their health, buy bracelets and do fitness in the sweat of their faces, measuring calories and heart rates on their devices.

Also, all sharply appeared wrist displays for displaying weather and SMS. Taking care of this, Dobra Corporation (tm) stuffed special services to communicate with this wearable rubbish, and ordered every 15 minutes to check if there were any nearby fitness bracelets, whether to start counting calories and heart rates, or to show the incoming SMS.

Since 99% of users do not have such stray ones, the device, waking up, does not find anything and, having eaten the battery charge, falls asleep again in order to repeat the cycle in 15 minutes.
  Getting down.

We start Disable Service.

The first tab of the “Third party” we are not touching. White numbers - the number of services. Blue - the number of running services, red - the number of deactivated services. Now we will have them.
  Go to the “System” tab, find “Google Play Services” - go there. In the upper left corner, click “full / short” - we get the full names of the services and, using the search (magnifying glass icon), enter the cherished words, first “fitness”, then “wearable” from all that contains these words uncheck it.

Then we look for services:

Com.google.android.gms.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService com.google.android.gmx.config.ConfigFetchService

Nail them.

Then we restrict the service’s call to search for a location:

Com.google.android.location.network.networklocationservice com.google.android.location.fused.nlplocationreceiverservice com.google.android.location.geocode.geocodeservice com.google.android.location.internal.server.googlelocationservice com.google. android.location.reporting.service.reportingandroidservice com.google.android.location.reporting.locationreceiverservice com.google.android.location.reporting.service.reportingsyncservice com.google.android.location.reporting.service.locationhistoryinjectorservice com.google. android.location.reporting.service.initializerservice com.google.android.location.reporting.service.Settingschangedservice

The first part of the work is done.

Further digging in this part is better not to do just like that. On the contrary, you can increase battery consumption due to the introduction of services in the cycle in which the part necessary for the correct completion of their work is deactivated. In the worst case, get a bootlap. Although this is not scary, we also have backup, right? But it’s better not to bring to trouble and not go where you don’t need to. Remember! Not always the name of the service means what you think! For example, the GTalkService service, has nothing to do with the GTalk program!

Now go to the program tab “Third Party”

Here is complete freedom of action, but again, with the mind.

Personally, I nailed the Viber service InAppBillingService, which I could not sleep much, because I don’t use paid calls in this program.
  For 360, SmartKey canceled the services: CompatService and DownloadingService, I do not need them, the button works without them.

For programs that need to wake up periodically (mail, weather, messages), it is better not to touch anything.

For more meaningful actions, it would be nice to read the Disable Service and My Android Tools program branches, but this is for the most advanced users. And so already had to read mnogabukaff :).

At the end - we reboot the device and with the help of Wakelock Detector we observe its silent snoring. If any of the programs still interferes with this process - you know what to do.
  I also recommend installing the Greenify program to pacify particularly violent ones (such as Facebook, Facebook Messenger, etc.).

As a result, we get a really long-lived device without any special restrictions. How much and how - depends on the programs you have installed. My winnings amounted to about 30%. It is advisable to check the behavior of new programs for the first time using the Wakelock Detector and, based on these data, make a decision about their future fate.

In connection with the popularity of this topic, I would like to “demonstrate” the effectiveness of the tips that are given on the site both in this article and in others.

The Android operating system is owned by the IT giant Google. This explains the fact that most of the Google services, including the Play Market, are built into mobile devices running on the Android platform and are integrated into the main OS menu.

True, in fairness it should be noted that not all users of Android devices are satisfied with this. After all, it is quite possible that someone uses other proven and familiar sources to satisfy their needs, and someone just unnecessarily uses the Google Play app store.

Speaking about software from Google, it is necessary to highlight the Google Play Services application, which is preinstalled software on almost all Android devices. Why is it needed, and is it possible to get rid of such a “gift” imposed by the digital giant? In order to unequivocally answer this question, let's look at the whole order.

The main objective of GP services is to ensure the stable operation of the following key functions:

• Authentication in Google Services
• Contact sync
• Access the latest privacy settings and save energy
• Google and GP App Updates
• Accelerated application search (including offline)
• Other

Removing Google Play Services may result in malfunctions of the applications until the complete termination of their work.

However, there is another side to the coin. You suddenly began to notice that the battery charge of your device began to fall shamelessly, preventing the device from remaining in working condition even for a day. In this case, it is worth checking which software has become so actively "eat up" the energy of your Android. The fact is that more and more complaints from users come precisely to the Google Play Services. The situation sometimes develops so that they manage to use up to fifty percent of the charge. Why is this happening?

The fact is that Google Play services are activated automatically (respectively, all applications from Google), and then continue to constantly “hang” in the device’s RAM, receiving and transmitting data to the servers of the corporation.

Based on the foregoing, each user must decide for himself how much he needs this or that program and its normal functioning, and only after that draw conclusions, you can delete Google Play services, or you shouldn’t. If you decide that this software is unnecessary for you, then the continuation of the article is just for you.

Google Play Services - Can I Uninstall?

Yes, you can, but you just need to understand that you need to approach the uninstallation of any program responsibly, with an understanding of what you are doing to the gadget.

We have written a lot on this topic, so if you are not quite ready for the procedure, then it’s worth a look, or whatever. In addition, it will certainly be useful to know.

If, after our 500th Chinese warnings, you definitely decided to remove the Google Play services, then we follow the special instructions.

If your device is not yet routed, then first you need to. Then you can use the program MyPhoneExplorer, which you need to download from the developer's website and install on your PC and.

The application allows the user to simply connect via USB or Wi-Fi their smartphone (or tablet) to the computer and organize comfortable work with contacts, sort SMS messages and deal with the calendar.

I am glad that MyPhone supports the Russian language, so working with this software will be quite easy. With the start of work, you will be asked to synchronize everything, and after that your communicator will be under complete control.

In addition to all useful things, we can work with the file system and even call any of the installed programs. When working with applications, you will immediately see:

• Version
• The size
• Installation date.

In addition, with regard to Google Play services, like other applications, it can be saved to your computer as an apk file, completely removed from your device or installed new programs.

Another powerful application tool. By installing and running the program, we will see a system request for the “Superuser” rights, we allow it.

Then, we will see a list of installed applications. I would like to immediately draw attention to such an important point. If you do not have full confidence in the need to remove any program, then it is better to “freeze” it, and not completely uninstall it. In this case, the currently unnecessary application for the operating system will be completely hidden. At least, if something goes wrong, you can restore the application.

So, after starting and granting root rights, go to the “Backups” tab:

Then, we find the program to be “frozen” (in our case, “Google Play Services”). By the way, for convenience, you can use filters, for example, "Only system applications":

We click on the name of the program and click on the “Freeze” button:

If you have come to the conclusion that you need to return this or that application to work, then we will do all the items described, and with the last step we click on Defrost.

In the case of a decision to completely remove the program, again we go the same way, but after the “tap” by name, click on “Delete”.

In conclusion, to help our readers, the video footage:
