Somehow I/my phone lost this app last weekend and I can't get it back on my phone. It's one of those background apps that you need to run a multitude of other apps, especially the Google ones.

Obviously I've Google this problem but I'm struggling with the remedies. Anyone come across this before?

Nexus 4 running 4.4.4, - I've noticed the reminder to upgrade to lollipop has disappeared so I don't even know if I can so that anymore.

Probably just as easy to try and update to Lollipop.

 

Go into settings and About Phone, then software update and check in there.

I don't seem to have the option anymore.

Strange. You may have to do it manually. How are your computer skills downloading files and installing drivers etc?

I'm reluctant to do it (lollipop) that way as it will wipe the phone.

Trying to load a kitkat compatible apk for the app now. Hope it's not dodgy...

I've managed that now, a load of app notifications came through but I'm getting one that say the app architecture does not match my phone's.

Were you rooted?  That's the only way to delete core google apps.

 

Try Wugfresh toolkit to repair Android

Not rooted at all.

I got a the apk off a site called apkmirror, it seems to have calmed down now, things have updated (not android though) and everything is working so I'll see how it goes.

I thought this had sorted itself out but whatever reason, connected or not, the GPS function is not working which is a bugger when you get in traffic everyday without it.

I think I've finally had it with this P.o.S. phone.

Did you reflash with the nexus 4 ROM? Another ROM might not have the right hardware drivers.

Got location services turned on?

I thought I had but after numerous restarts over the past few days, today it gave me a location services message on a shutdown. An app has disabled location services or something similar. So I enabled it again and it's back also with the lollipop OTA prompt. So I'm probably going to update it now and hope it settles down.

I haven't done anything to modify the phone in any way. If it ain't broke I don't fix it.

Argh. Now 2gb free space is insufficient to do the update. Ffs.

App cache cleaner has been tried and failed.

Just uninstall some apps, do the update and you should be OK to reinstall them after. I've had that issue before
