Google Play services is crashing for me while trying to setup phone. This happens using the cable (switch adapter) and restore from backup. Only new install completes.

Google Message board has no definitive answer, so wonderingn if anybody here has thoughts

I am switching from a Galaxy S6 . I have use a variety of cables too.

When I got my first Pixel XL I transferred everything from my Nexus 6p and all went smooth.

Now I have a new Pixel XL cause I RMA my first one because the screen flicker problem. I also have this problem. Google play services crashes. It crashes when trying to transfer from the Nexus 6P and my old Pixel XL. I tried factory reset and flashing stock images and it still crashes. It also crashes when you try the other option set up phone transfer from your Google account cloud thing.

Other than that the phone works fine. Google services never crash unless Im try to transfer setting up the device.

The Tap and Go restore should work if you try that

So for you the replacement phone failed, but your original was fine. Hmmm

Update: I managed to migrate the apps and such. I decided to try the suggestion uninstall the Google Play Services updates. For me to do this I had to disable Android Device Manager, then do the uninstall.

Honestly not sure if Android Device Manager or reinstall of Google Play Services solved the problem, but worth looking. The one issue I have is that does not seem to have restored Application Data. So not sure If I missed something (was 11pm and tired) so that is annoying.

I flashed the gapps after that moment, play services crashes after every 8-10 seconds
I got messed up and tried out many apks, reboots, and backups from previous ROMs and finally I disabled play services
I am now using aptoide instead of play store
