HP Slate 17 - Google Play Store has stopped

[uberg]

Unfortunately I cannot use my tablet HP Slate 17.

I have followed advices ro Reeboot and Restart several times but I cannot get rid of the message "unfortunately google play serve has stopped".   The result is that the tablet get blocked and i cannot therefore use it for any purpose.

Anyone has an idea what the problem is and how it can be solved?

Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are getting "unfortunately google play serve has stopped" error on HP Slate 17. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

• When did this issue start?
• Did you do any hardware or software changes?

Meanwhile

1. Remove the updates for your Google Play

- Go to the menu–>settings–>apps–>all–>google play store–> uninstall updates, then reboot your device.

2. Remove the cache for your Google Play

- Go to the menu–>settings–>apps–>all–>google play store–> remove cache, then try to run your google play again. It is better to do a reboot.

3. Try to delete and re-install Google Play

- In some cases, delete and re-install resolve this issue.

4. Try to delete your google account and add your google account again

- Go to the menu -> settings -> account remove your current google account then add it again here.

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers.

Thanks for the answer and proposal for a procedure to fix my problem.

I have this issue on 2x Slate 17 I purchased late January 2017

ie they are both still in warranty, despite HP website saying they are not.

I have supplied my original invoices to HP.

From what I can work out, the issue is with Google Play latest version.

If you uninstall back to factory default as supplied on HP tablet, it works.

However, it then auto updates & stops working.

Once auto updates, it then auto updates other apps & stops they keyboard from working, as well as google+ & a few other things.

With no keyboard, the device is rendered useless.

I am currently in discussion with HP who think its Google problem, while I say it is theirs, as they are stopping me from turning off auto update - which can be done if the device can be rooted.

If I learn anything, I will let you know. Otherwise I can see me submitting my case to a legal challenge.
HP are by far the worst incompentent 'support' staff I have ever dealt with.

not heard anything from hp...

seems their consumer support is as bad as their business support.

I have no idea how they are still in business with such poor aftercare.

Seems android updates are avaialbe there for my model.

Going to give it a whirl with Nugat.

FORGET THE BELOW - IT DOES NOT SEEM THERE ARE LATER ANDROID OS's

INSTEAD THEY LIST THEM ALL BUT WITH THE SAME VERSION & DATE FOR EACH RELEASE!
INCOMPETENCE! 

Ok

It seems to be doing an update.

You need to copy the file to an SDCARD

I faffed around for ages trying with USB Stick

You need to goto recovery mode by holding down the DOWN VOLUME button + holding the POWER ON button

Then release once you get android splash screen

Scroll to SDCARD Update using volume button & POWER BUTTON as ENTER Key

Select the UPDATE ZIP File & away its going.....
