When I go on Snapchat it give me a pop up saying "This app won't run without Google Play Services, which are missing from your phone." I tried to download Google Play Services from the app store, but still get that message. I am still able to use Snapchat without it, so that's a bit confusing.

You can only choose between Apple Store and Google Play. For now those few apps is the only reason to switch to Jolla.

I realize this is a late message, considering when this was posted, but if any of you are still having this issue, simply visit http://randomi.info/p/jolla/com.google.android.gms-(3.1.36).apk and install that.. it'll fix the play services issue.
I just tested it on mine, and chrome will install and launch fine.. it didn't seem to want to load any webpages however. I don't have time to investigate further.
The apk just gives you the google settings and services icons and fixes the annoying prompt issue.

I can just ignore the message by tapping above or under the dialog box. That way I can just use snapchat.

you can download it from aptoide store but often google services crash!
michdeskunk ( 2014-01-16 16:38:49 +0200 )edit@coderus Google Play and Google Play Services are not the same. I had to install both Google Play and this apk to be able to use the public transport ticket app for Copenhagen.
Tanghus ( 2015-03-07 20:23:41 +0200 )editIt's not same, but you can't install play store without installing google services framework, and main google play article is fully covering your question
coderus ( 2015-03-07 20:25:43 +0200 )editOK, then it may have been edited since I followed the howto. After having installed the app I mentioned using Google Play, I got an error "Google Services not available" - or something like that - when launching the app. After installing the apk linked to below, everything worked.
Tanghus ( 2015-03-07 20:56:27 +0200 )editThen try to add suggestion to bigget question and take attention on your problem.
