How to Fix Google Cloud Messaging Registration Error: Service_Not_Available

How to fix Google Cloud Messaging Registration error: SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE?

This SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE error says that GCM Service is not available in current. Wait and try after some time.

This happens many time (As my experience), so don't worry about it.

See the GCMConstants class of GCM Lib.

/**
     * The device can't read the response, or there was a 500/503 from the
     * server that can be retried later. The application should use exponential
     * back off and retry.
     */
    public static final String ERROR_SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE =
            "SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE";

Google Cloud Messaging Registration error: SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE? same project works fine on my laptop?

I found the issue Everything is ok but the problem is in my appcompact 7 library ,i removed it and now its work fine .

Android - GCM error 'SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE' on Android 6.0.1

Well, it turns out that my Google Play store wasn't working properly. I could view apps and install new ones but when I entered "My apps & games", it gave me the Check your connection and try again error. So, I am posting this solution for anyone who might be having a similar problem since I spend 4-5 days looking for errors and trying different fixes.

Note: This is only for rooted users.

Steps:

1. Open your FIle Manager. I used ES File Explorer.
2. Goto "/" or the root of your phone
3. There will be folder called etc
4. Inside etc, you'll see a file name hosts
5. Inside the hosts file, you'll see 2 IP addresses. The second one will vary depending upon your location
6. Add a # at the start of the 2nd IP Address. # will change that line to a comment

I recommend making a backup of the hosts file before editing.

Google Cloud Messaging - GCM - SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

The problem was not code related, but link to the test phone.
The test phone do not have a SIM, and the clock was not set. So google cannot resgistred it with a wrong time.

I manage to have a registration Id using a Android Virtual Device, with google api, and by setting the test phone clock.
