Google Play App Installation Problems

Jamie2k9

Got an android tablet from China, no Google Play app installed. Have tried to install an APK version however it opens and cannot get past sign in part. It says I need to update the version but I cannot.

The browser I download from freezes and crashes a lot so its almost impossible to download a version and no apps will work otherwise.

Android version is 7.3.1 if it hwlps.

Sounds like a headache if you get it working anyways. Send it back.

Are you sure that's the Android version? Nougat only went up to 7.1.2.

What/Which Tablet? Running any OEM version of Android?

If it was an Xiaomi Tablet go here: - https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/chinarom#wiki_installing_the_google_play_store

Problem is you need Google Play Services along with the playstore to get it working.

If you can unlock the bootloader, possible to flash a custom rom and gapps (if the rom doesn't include it).
