Looks like updated Google Play services might be causing problem. Help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This logcat warning is caused by a bug introduced in Google Play Services 9.x. It can be safely ignored, I don't believe it causes a crash, so your crash may be caused by a different issue. The message should go away with a future update to play services.
