Google Play Services Update

[droidguy1964]

Yes. I have all settings out of the box except wifi scanning.

Cool. With that battery life I'm just curious, do you have location services on?

What I find amusing about this whole thing is people actually wanting to get mad/argue that some of us are getting such decent battery life. I don't think most of us are disagreeing there's an issue affecting some devices; it's just not affecting ours.

We got people legitimately angry about this. This should be a positive thing. "This is what this device can do once they fix these issues" is the message I'm hearing. Just like other Samsung launches, there's just some people that want this device to fail.

Sorry about your luck, people.

I'm on verizon and have 7.3.28 I got my phone on release day . The 11th . And I manualy update all my apps and go through them before I do and I never seen the update unless it updated when they first turned the phone on at the verizon store on the 11th. It's also not in my update history. Maybe it was already on my phone.

Well I never checked the version of this when I got the S6 at Verizon on April 10, but the S6 edge I exchanged for at Verizon on April 15, had 7.0.99

I've rebooted the phone and still no update on play store yet. Debating if I want to manually do it, will I have to have unknown sources on to install the apk?

If you try and install it (I uploaded the APK to Google Drive then opened it form there) and you don't have the unknown sources on it will prompt you to turn it on, then take you to the settings and then when you turn it on it will give you the option to only turn it on for this app installation. If you select yes it'll allow you to load the APK but it'll keep the unknown sources option off after.

I agree. I definitely look at it as positive. That means hopefully one day I'll get it too.

Dang, that's REALLY good.

Glad someone sees that. If I was on the other side of the fence and had battery issues, I'd be encouraged by the performance some people are getting instead of saying the battery sucks after it's been officially launched for 10 whole days.

I was not able to get hangouts notifications pushed while on wifi. I installed this on my T-mobile galaxy s6 and it seems to have fixed the issue. Not sure if the two are related but glad it's fixed.

Since the update, Smart Lock works better. Before it was not working at my Trusted Place. And it seems, so far, my battery life might be better. Its showing my battery should last me 19 hours. It was 13 before.

Another update. version 7.3.29

http://www.apkmirror.com/wp-content/themes/APKMirror/download.php?id=10104

download at your own risk.

This update added Trusted Voice to Smart Lock. I can't seem to turn it on though.

Trusted Voice option added to latest update:

Question: if you side load this update by downloading the .apk, when the app updates again, do you always need to side load it? Or, will it automatically update, even though it's been side loaded?

It will update just like any other app installed from the store.

Still waiting for the update.

Did you sideload the .apk or did the Google Play Store finally update for you? Still waiting patiently (ok, not so patiently!) for mine. Let us know if you see any improved battery life like a number of others are reporting.

My Samsung Galaxy S6 updated to version 7.3.29 today here in the UK. Wasn't notified about it, it just did it.

I've had bad luck sideloading the Play services. I usually just wait until the upload comes through.

Note 3 Sprint; after update; internet tabs keep crashing. Anyone else?

 

[tpence2177]

Mine must've updated in the background today to. Will see tomorrow if it makes any difference.

It appears to have so far. It's saying 23 hours left at 90% where it normally would say 15 or so hours left.
