Google Play Services Update

Then... You were not opening an app that needed an updated play service it just updated when the update came. (In the background). It can happen either way.

Right.

I don't know if this is the place to post this, but I'm gonna give it a shot (let me know if there is a better place to put it..).

I just bought a Nexus 6 yesterday (from AT&T). I was excited to try the new Smart Lock (especially the Trusted Places, so I wouldn't have to keep inputting my PIN), but Trusted Places was not there (Trusted Devices and Trusted Faces was both there though). I Googled it and saw some other people had this issue, and should be fixed with a Google Play Services update (wait or download the APK). I downloaded the AP, but I forgot to look at my current version before downloading the new one. I now have version 836 downloaded (they said download 438 to fix Trusted Locations), and now Smart Lock is completely gone from my Security settings! I tried to download the old one (version 438), but it will not let me. I am at a loss. Everything else on my phone is completely normal, but Smart Lock is gone. Help would be appreciated.

You need to revert to the GP Services version which is correct for your phone. Maybe you can load that APK, otherwise you'll need to do a factory reset.

It looks like new updates come out fairly frequently. Does anyone know if a new one will trump my old one or since I downloaded the APK that it's up to me to download then on my own? I.e. can I just wait it out? Thanks.

I don't think they come out that often, and since you have the wrong one, who knows if it will auto update. I would fix the problem.
