What causes Google Play Services to stop?

How do I fix Google Play Services not working?

My wife is not able to use her Google Play services for my Android phone. The error message she receives is "Google Play Services not working" and it's "Google Play Services, version 1.6.8239, requires Google Play services, version 1.228912, but was unable to resolve dependency. See for more details".

She is not able to download any apps through Google Play either. All the apps are listed as "Install Failed". She uses a Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile) running Android 4. We are in Canada. I am not able to do anything on my phone at all. I have contacted Samsung and T-Mobile. They have no idea how to fix this. The only thing I know of that I might try to do is reset my phone. But, I don't even know if that will help.

I've updated the firmware on the mobile phone. She hasn't done any of those.

This is the "Update information about your device" page: Google Play services, version 1.228912, requires Google Play services, version 1.8239, but was unable to resolve dependency.

I have checked the URL provided and don't see any details. I would be happy to post more info, but there is nothing to post. I'm in a similar situation as my wife.

I have an HTC Wildfire with CM10, and had the same issue. A Google engineer called me and said it was a network issue. My phone didn't have an option to reset network settings, so I had to reset my phone. After that, I haven't had the problem.

The phone doesn't have an option to reset network settings. I did have to set my SIM card to a different carrier when I got it. I believe that is what caused the problem. I would imagine it happens with people who don't have the option to change their carrier from the home screen. It seems that the carrier decides to use your phone rather than the SIM card. I guess it can happen from anywhere?

I have the exact same problem. I have tried everything. I have changed carriers.
