My Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 (J320FN) has Google Play Services installed and not installed at the same time. What I mean is that when I click on Hangouts I get this message, "Hangouts won't run without Google Play Services, which are missing from your phone." I also can't find it my application manager yet when I try to install the apk, it says no new permissions for this update meaning that it is already installed. When I go on the Google Play Store Website on my computer, it says that Google Play Services is already installed. You should know that all google apps won't open apart from Chrome. Also when I click on Google Play Movies & TV it says, "Google Play Movies & TV won't run without Google Play services, which are currently updating." So Hangouts says it is not there whilst Google Play Movies & TV says it is there but just updating. My phone is rooted. I don't know if this helps but when I shut down my phone and switch it back on certain apps reinstall but they are already there. It is as if my phone gets restored to a previous time. My phone takes over a minute to switch on and when it does it says optimising 4 of 4 android apps and then starting android apps. Thanks
UPDATE: Google Play Movies & TV is now saying the same as Hangouts saying that it is not installed. I've tried installing Google Play Services apk but it fails each time.
