I've had my T-Mobile Note 3 since December and have enjoyed it since then. Recently, the Lollipop update dropped and I picked it up instantly.

It's been a while since then and I like it, but I've recently had problems with it. Last night, I was getting notifications that "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped working" every 5-15 seconds. It was annoying. I tried looking up fixes but nothing worked. After doing a reset, the notification stopped.

After starting putting my phone back in order, I had a problem with the Google app. Whenever I try updating to the newest version, the app will instantly crash with a similar message to the services one. Naturally, I uninstall updates to get back some usability of the app, but I get the same message and crash after viewing a gif for too long or scrolling on a profile.

I'm no android expert, but those aren't supposed to happen. Is there any way I can fix these problems? If there isn't enough information here, I'll gladly give you whatever you need.
