Hi All,
I have an HP Slate 17 tablet, recently I have been getting various messages stating that Google services, or Google Play store has stopped, or unfortunately is unavailable. Initially this popped up every now and then. then it gradually got worse until it was constant.
I tried various methods to rectify the problem, ( all from Googling the issue). None of these worked and eventually I did a hard reset and this sorted it.
Until, that is, I added my Google account and added a few apps. The problem then re-appeared. I tried a new Google account, but the same thing happens. I am currently only using things I can get online, which is ok, but not great.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help offered.
Cheers
Nick
