I've had absolutely had enough with Google Play Services ďraining my battery and eating my memory. This is absolutely ridiculous. Nothing is going to change unless people express their disdain. I don't care how inconvenient it proves to be, I will do whatever it takes to rid my phone of this parasite I'd MUCH rather deal with only being able to run apps which do not require Google Play Succubus to operate than to deal with this monstrosity.

Can't do anything ! No possibility to download apps and to run apps that are already installed. It says I must update tried with my mobile data doesn't work (called my network to find out but it not them) now trying with Wi-Fi same story won't download. What is going on? Followed all steps (7 of them) proposed by a link to Google play services none of those steps worked either. What is next? And when can it be fixed? Thanks.

The current 10.2.98 update stops all of the google apps from working. Apparently play services thinks i have no network access. Sending an email to the bottom of this page gets a flick off email auto-response. This needs to be fixed. Works seamlessly in earlier versions. A quick sample of the other comments tells me i am not alone - sort it Google!

Play Store is cracking down on apps that have managed to rake up their ratings thanks to a bunch of fake reviews. The search giant has announced improvements in the fight against app developers who rely on paid reviews, ratings to boost their rankings.
In an Android Developer blog post written by Product Managers’ Andrew Ahn and Buddhika Kottahachchi, have said that Google is improving on its fight against spam apps, identifying and removing fake ratings and reviews. The post suggests that with new enhanced capabilities, Google can remove such fake ratings and review with ‘greater accuracy’.

Google is especially warning those working with third-party marketing agencies to promote their apps. “We advise you to check-in and ensure that their promotion techniques use legitimate practices, and adhere to the Google Play Developer Policy,” says the blogpost for developers. Google says developers need to make sure reviews, ratings come from genuine users, and developers don’t “attempt to manipulate them in any form.”
Earlier in October, Google had announced it would crack down on “fraudulent and spam app installs.” Google’s systems will detect and filter when an app install is conducted to manipulate the ratings. It also says it will block developers who continue to indulge in such behaviour.
Though this step will not completely eliminate fraudulent and spam apps, this is a right step in the direction to clean up the Play Store. There are many developers who try to fool users into believing that their app has a higher rating, even when it is buggy or worse a malicious one.

A report from cyber security firm TrendLabs back in October showed that there are over 400 malicious apps on the Android app store. According to the report, the Android platform is especially susceptible to such apps, which once installed are capable of spying on a user as well as leaking their private data to hackers and spammers.
Of course, fake reviews is not just a Google problem. Large corporations like Amazon have stood up against the issue of fake reviews with the American e-commerce giant filing a lawsuit against over 1000 people back in October for providing fake reviews on their products sold on Amazon. Amazon had said that misleading and fake reviews are bad for the company’s brand and only profit a handful of dishonest manufacturers and sellers.
