Android: cannot sync on mobile network; crashed Google Play Services (DeadObjectException)

[Android Central Question]

The problem occurs whenever I try to access Settings --> Apps --> Google Play Services.

My phone is a OnePlus One, with Android version 6.0.1 and Cyanogen OS version (from factory) 13.1.2-ZHN2KAS3P0-bacon.

At the same time, my phone cannot sync any Google-related accounts (from Gmail to YouTube to Drive, etc.) when it's on mobile network (the sync is fine when the phone's connected on WiFi). The YouTube app cannot function at all when it's on mobile network. I have reviewed all relevant settings (including but not limited to general and app-specific data permission, battery settings, etc.)

The below is the code:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Package manager has died
