unfortunately, google play services has stopped

[mtiberio]

I always update to the newest nightly, and I recently installed the camera patch onto my CM9 Touchpad. While from day one I occasionally got the message: "unfortunately, google play services has stopped.", I get them more often now. Any hints on how to make it go away?

First thing I would say is to clear app data and cache. Find the app from Settings->Applications, tap on the app, and tap clear data.

From what I've seen the service is installed when needed, so it appears in the list as an app. I don't remember seeing separate lists for downloaded apps and services.

If you search for the error, there are a lot of tips. They say clear cache, clear data, and uninstall updates. Do those to both the Play Store and the service. If you need instructions on how to use the app manager, Google it.

removed the "google play services" app and everything is fine. interesting enough, it reinstalled itself silently, and now it no longer dies...

I think it's used by some apps for IAP and license checking, so maybe when needed Google Play will download it again. It isn't embedded in stock ROMs for some reason, unlike Google Play. I suppose Google Play wouldn't even have been embedded if there was a way to download off of Play without the app installed so it could bootstrap and install Play online.
