Samsung devices have a strange version of Google Play Services and it doesn't work correctly

302 Views Asked by At

I am using Activity Recognition API available in Google Play Services. I've tried using Google Play Services 5+ and Google Play Services 6+ (using the new API with GoogleApiClient) on Android 4+ and Android 5+. Everything works great on different kinds of devices, except Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Announced 2014, September)(Can not test on other Samsung devices.) The problem is that:

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has Google Play Services 5.0.89 (currently the last version is 6.5.99) (and it's not possible to update it)
  • Activity Recognition API doesn't work (it's available, just doesn't trigger needed recognition events)

Does anyone faced the similar problems on any Samsung devices? How to resolve it? Thanks.
