Evening,
Google Play Services died royally on my phone (Samsung Galaxy A3 2017) this afternoon. I noticed at around 2 o'clock that my battery was far lower than where it should be.
Looking at the Google Play Store to see if anything needed updating, it crashed. Odd, I thought - that doesn't usually happen.
Restarted phone, same thing. Except now when I try to open the Store, it tells me I need to re-authenticate/login again. Then I found that Gboard doesn't work. Or Google Photos. Or Hangouts. Or Chrome. They all just crash and return me back to the main menu.
I would happily go and update the Google Store app (and anything else) if I could get into the damned thing! Meantime my battery is draining like there's no tomorrow, and half the apps on my phone don't work.
Any help appreciated!
