[Q] 403 error on all app downloads - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I've recently purchased a new Xperia SP and everything works fine except for the Google Play downloads. I can not update or download any applications from the google play through two of my google accounts.
I've got another device that is on the same wifi network and can access / download apps very fine from google play. So the problem seems to be specific to Xperia SP.
I've tried all sorts of things i.e. clear data, factory reset, GB google play apk from android police and what not. Nothing works...
Device details are:
Android: 4.1.2
Play Store: 4.0.25
Play Services: 3.0.27.
Model: C5303
Build: 12.0.A.2.254
Any help would really be appreciated...

my gay friend lukas has the same problem...
any advice? DD

It was a problem at Google so don't worry it should be fixed now

I was just about to send this message that the problem somehow magically resolved by itself.
And you answer explains why that happened .
Thanks mate !

[Q] Google Play, accounts and time

My Ace is running CM10.1 by Wayland_ACE. I hadn't encountered any issues and I don't think this is ROM related.
Anyway, recently my Google Account randomly removed itself from my device, I readded it and now when I go into Google Play and try to download an application I immediately receive a sever error and cannot download anything. I cleared Google Play's data and uninstalled the updates and cleared Google Play Services' data and rebooted as recommended in another thread. Didn't fix anything.
Then I noticed that the time was off by two minutes, was always correct before. I have the auto-obtain network time and manually selected the timezone (EST).
I fixed the time but Google Play still isn't working properly. It also isn't autoupdating to the latest version which is strange. As far as I am aware it should do that.
Does anyone know how to fix Google Play? (and no, I don't want to use another app store like 1mobile or Aptoide...)
I'll try to update this post with the exact error but it might be awhile. My Ace is freaking out right now with random reboots.
Not certain what happened but now my Ace has become really unstable. Its rebooting after every few minutes.
Flash a new rom

Its working now... I wiped cache and dalvik cache. Play Store still won't update back to 3.10.1 though. Any ideas for how I can force it to update?

Go to apps settings and uninstall Google playstore and Google play services than reboot.
Open playstore and wait maybe 5 minutes till it update itself.
Go back to apps settings to check if they are updated.

does it will be fixed if i installed the previous software (jelly bean 4.1.2 10.1.A.1.350)?
and if i want to try installing that software............how can i install it??
i am sorry for lots questions .......and appreciate your co-operation
You can go back to 350 by flashing a firmware with flashtool,look in development section for an ftf file for your region.

It happen only four chrome where I can't download ANYTHING even pictures.
I used to have similar issue where play store downloads is starts but do not make any progress at all. What caused this problem was my bad internet connection in the house, I didn't have it in the office.
I suggest trying different connection.
Also try clearing play store data, updates and cache.
If non help, download play store apk from internet and manually install it.
Last shot, go to play store website using your pc not Phone and sign in with the same Google account in your XZ, then browser the play store and install any app from the pc. It will all you in which device you want top install it. Select XZ
So as soon as your XZ connect to any internet connection, the download of that app will start automatically.
Hope one of these things could help

Check your connection. I had the same problem, and later found out that it was a problem with my connection. Otherwise, clear data and cache for google play and google freame work, reboot and try clean again, reboot again and then try to connect.
If not, reflash the device.
I have no problems with internet connection gor example xda and browser works great. Do a factory reset solve the problem?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Umm, sorry. When I meant connection, I meant if your internet service provider is blocking the ports that google play needs to work. That happened to me and I could not downlod anything, update or something else. But internet, browsing worked.
Try to connect to a hotspot around the city, otherwise, do as I told you earlier. Clear the cache for google play store and google framework.
Ok I cleared chache rebooted my phone, still having error. Tried another wifi, nothing changed. But wft is google framework? Sorry I am hungarian and I am not the best at problem solving...

You will find there more detailed info but the advice will be the same. Again, try to connect to a public hotspot, not just another wifi connection you have in your vicinity. It could be a port issue.
Still nothing. But any apps from google.doesn`t work like gmail. I think there is a problem with my account but from desktop everything worked. I`ll try more wifi tomorrow.

Stock v20a 4.1.2 rooted
Not unlocked
This solved my problem!!!
1. Go to folder: etc ( you must be rooted)
2. Delete hosts file
3. Reboot
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Gosh -- yeah, I had that once as well. Let me guess: some custom ROM? Some IP addresses of Google servers had changed, but were hardcoded here in the hosts file. So all apps went nowhere when looking for those servers. Commenting out the corresponding line(s) did it for me back then.

Try the correct set of Gapps! Can happen due to it and alwz go fr minimal package since other apps such as Gmail n al can be found on Play store!
Smetym z can happen if the zip file downloaded is corrupted!
