Google Play Error 403 without SIM card, OK with SIM card

Hi,

I received my THL w200 yesterday and it seems to work quite well besides one issue that I don't understand.

Without a SIm card the phone worked Ok as a tablet, but when I tried to install apps from Google play I repeatedly got an error 403. Email and Youtube worked fine though. Only after I put in a SIM card, I was able to install apps. However - the connection was still over WIFI, same Google account.

This is the first time I encounter that on an Android phone, usually I can work fine (Google Play, etc...) even without a SIM card..

Anybody noticed that? Is it just this phone, or this ROM, or Android 4.2.1 in general?

Thanks,

raananh

There are some issues with the Google Play Store. Just got to wait while they sort it out. :)
[Android General] RobboW:
I was installing my apps last night, setting up Pandawill ROM and my SD card corrupted. Unrecoverable and it's a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb. Not happy.

Going to get a new 64Gb card (SDHC). Have to temporarily set up using an old 16Gb card.
[Android General] Sargos76:
It only supports 32gb
[Android General] RobboW:
Someone tried a 64Gb a while back and it worked ok.

Might just need to be SDHC, not the newer type.
[Android General] Sargos76:
Good to ear that :) try it and report here please
[Android General] RobboW:
Did an eBay purchase tonight. Will format and copy all my stuff across when it gets here :)

I realised tonight, my system died because there were leftover remnants of Me!ROM in Pandawill. Wiping with TWRP didn't work somehow :confused:

Will stick with CWM as it just works.

THL W200S on Panadawill for 199$. Same outfit but with octa core and 32GB of ROM.
[Android General] Alejo94:
I am going to buy the new THL w200s, anyone else?
[Android General] elsita:
I am upgrading also

[Android General] zdravke:
You can bet all the same problems will be on upgraded model too. After seeing all the same bugs on t100s plus some new ones on top, I have very little hope that they will be ever fixed. Maybe it's time to change the brand.
[Android General] miljenko:
I don't know what kind of problems you are referring to, but I'm generally satisfied with my W200. Some problems exist but nothing major that will force me to stop using it. In my opinion price/quality is on expected level. As for W200s, I believe that button light will remain unsolved. Gorilla Glass 3 is a big plus and back camera could be improvement.
[Android General] RobboW:
My W200 does what I need. I'm a bit disappointed with the bugs in software, plus the old headphone socket is really annoying, so, I would be inclined to look at other brands next time.

BTW, miljenko, Pandawill ROM is running nice so far :) Was nice to start with a basic and cleaned up ROM and only put in what I wanted, but you haven't stripped out too much. Nice job!

My battery is going well so far. I'll install Antutu and see how it compares to Me!ROM with my setup.

Edit:

Scored 16292. On Me!ROM it did somewhere around 16575 I think. Not much different.
[Android General] miljenko:
I'm really happy that you are satisfied.

What was your last phone, before W200? I can see that you are making complaints about music generally and headphones socket, but I never had any kind of problems with it. Yes I found phone off few times in few months, but nothing to die for. Anyway this is 200$ phone and it is incredible for that price. My last phone before W200 was HTC One (my wife have it now) and I miss only few things, but main thing is Sense interface, to be exact Sense 5. Music on W200 sounds incredible with my Beats basic headphones (got them with HTC) and to be honest I never tried any other headphones.

Maybe is it me, easily satisfied, but W200 is really best phone for the price.

Don't take this personally, this is just my opinion after 4 months with my THL W200.

NOTE Hope that we will have Sense ROM once HTC release Desire 310 with MTK6582
[Android General] miljenko:
OK you paid more than I did, but for me this is great phone. Moto G is also great phone and from reputable company, but in my country minimal price is 200 eur, almost double. Anyway we got what we paid and at least I'm satisfied, great phone for 130 eur.
[Android General] Strolls:
I don't disagree with you - it's a great phone, but I do have these reservations.

€130 is a very good price - did you get your phone from a supplier in your own country (or EU?), or was it shipped from China?
[Android General] miljenko:
From Pandawill with coupon. Passed customs without problems and total costs was 130$.
[Android General] Sargos76:
Anyone that buys the W200S version please report about it, i thinks its best to keep the new version in this same topic, do you agree guy's?
[Android General] RobboW:
I personally think it would be good if we had our own sub forum section so different threads could be done for ROMs, mods etc etc. Keep it organised....
[Android General] Ysabelkid:
The battery for the W200S looks small - 1800 mAh for a Octa core!
[Android General] RobboW:
I'm happy with the phone for the price, I agree, it is excellent value for money.

My last phone was a little Samsung Galaxy W. I needed more power for social networking performance and bigger screen for my failing eyes, but have limited money. W200 fit the requirements well.

I do use it for music a lot. The Samsung worked really well for music and had the modern headphone socket which also worked well with media buttons etc. I miss that. With mods, the W200 sounds amazing. Neutron Music with Viper audio is extroadinary! But stock, it sounded pretty average. Other criticisms are cheap sensors. Magnetic sensor and rubbish compass use, Light sensor and poor stepping of screen brightness. The Samsung was not a dear phone either, but I never noticed issues with screen brightness stepping up and down, it just worked nice and wasn't too bright at minimum. It had a better resolved stock firmware. Everything just worked.

These are criticisms, but keeping in mind the PRICE of the W200, yes, great value. Customising the ROM makes a big difference to the phone. I'm certainly still happy with it.
[Android General] Chac:
Yeah it looks like the battery will last only a few hours.
[Android General] RobboW:
It will be more power efficient than the 1.5 quad so may work about the same, but I do think they need to start designing with slightly higher capacity batteries. It's a cost of production thing. Make it cheap, sell it cheap, sell a LOT of them.
[Android General] miljenko:
Don't be so sure, I think it will last same as on w200 maybe even more. Newer processor, less power used!!!

You were faster then me: )
[Android General] RobboW:
BTW, even on Pandawill ROM which has stock gallery app (inc camera), I removed that and installed Lenovo Supercamera (inc gallery) and it is better than stock app. I have not found a better option, this keeps it running like it was original, but it does use some memory.
[Android General] miljenko:
It seams that I'm first confirmed owner W200s. I hope it will come soon. I will share photos, videos and screenshots
[Android General] layup23:
I wanted to suggest that. I guess in order to do that we would need to contact the forum administrators and ask them if they could make it happen.

I visited the "Contact" page yesterday but there are a lot of sections in which you can send a message and I don't know which one to choose.

If anyone knows let me know!

Despite the fact that we can't actually get Custom Roms we still have a lot of ported Roms and various flashable zips, so we have enough to fill out the forums.

hey everyone

i have a problem with my ThL W200

I tell it short:

It stucksin bootscreen, because i did shi* in the systemFolder ( its rooted).

I now have to flash it with SPflash tool but i cant install the drivers, because every time i connect it to pc it shows up short and than its gone .

I also hear that windows sound when a device is connected ( dadaa dadumm :)

so How do I install the driver whats the problem ?

Hi!

You can try to read this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982587 . It's for the general use of SpFlashtools. Hope you solve it! If not, try to ask RobboW. I remember he posted a while back that he managed to install the drivers without any problems.

Good luck!

Later edit// Guys it looks like region89 over at 4pda ported 2 more Roms- Check it out This is Baidu OS http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=492598&st=5700#entry29339359 and this is supposed to be a port of Cyanogenmod( but I still did not get what part of it is Cyanogenmod) http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=492598&st=5700#entry29338912
[Android General] RobboW:
I had trouble installing the drivers with Windows too. A brief post by someone here gave the answer though. All I did was to be ready in Device Manager with mouse when I attached phone. Get on the entry when it appears briefly and right click it, choose to update driver and manually install. You have to be fast.

Once I did get it installed, SP Flash Tools works perfectly every time. I use my laptop so there is mains power and battery, just in case something goes amiss. BTW, I find it works best if the battery is NOT in the phone. Don't put it in at all whilst using SPFT.

I used this again recently. Wanted to start from the beginning and flashed it back to that old stock ROM, rooted, re-partitioned, went through the whole process and now on Pandawill it's running sweet. Will be trying a 64Gb SDHC SD card soon. I always find 32Gb a little small. The new W200s has 32Gb built in and takes an SD card too. That's a reason to upgrade more than the newer processor IMO.

I uploaded a bunch of zipped tools to a post a litle while back. The driver I used is in there. I'm on Win7 64.

[Android General] Sargos76:

[Android General] RobboW:
I still miss the XperiaC V2 ROM, I really liked it but the phone is running fantastic on Pandawill ROM. I'm not game to try anything else yet. Downloading just in case. :eek:

Download speed was throttled so slow it failed.
[Android General] Sargos76:

Me to, it seems that when i do the reparting of the memory with meteos app the phone goes off 2 or 3 times a day, using zound 2.5 with updated kernel and from a month ago never get the phone off without nowing! Does anybody has this problem to? With out reparting the phone memory i dont have this issue!
[Android General] RobboW:
Re-parting made no difference to mine with random switch off, it has always done it now and then, stock or modded. It seems to me the thermal management shutting it down with an overheat. It can do it on the dash of the car using GPS in the sun, or in my pocket. No other time.

Since installing Pandawill and new kernel, mine has not done it yet.

I like Pandawill better than Zound. I also think that best results are by a complete re-flash to stock with SPFT, root, re-part, wipe/re-flash then customise. That's how I did mine with the current install and running sweet as! It feels responsive and very smooth. I also did not need to format the storage partition with Windows this time. It just worked.
[Android General] Sargos76:
Yeah I've flash the stock with spft, root, no repart, updated with zound 2.5 no reboots until now works great

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Rom includes kernel. When you flash a rom, it replaces the existing rom and kernel.

Stock kernels are not compatible with aosp roms.

You don't need to flash a kernel after the rom. It includes everything you need already. However, there are custom kernels you can flash afterwards if you like.

"Rom includes kernel. When you flash a rom, it replaces the existing rom and kernel."

are these custom kernels having any additional capabilites other than the kernel present in current rom?? sry if iam wrong about question..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
