I recently bought a Nokia Lumina 640 because i want to get some windows phone games for achievents. The first thing i try and download gives me this error.

I have searched and searched and i cant find a definitive answer on what the issue is and how to resolve it. It seems to be some error with my network, but what error? Is it a port thing? What ports does it need?

I did the steps the microsoft website suggests, which were to: manually change my time, manually sync my email, make sure to update my microsoft account, and finally, to reset my phone. None of that worked so i am looking for real answers.

This error usually comes up when there is a problem with the store on the Microsoft side. Usually the problem is resolved in a few days, please do not do anything with your phone, router or any other piece of equipment, no resets or reinstallations will make any difference and you may lose apps which are no longer available in the store. The solution can come only from MS and the only thing you can do is wait, no matter how frustrating it is.

    If you have the same problem find and click Me, too. Don't just repeat the original post please.

    Quoting the original poster only does not add any explanation or help answer the problem, it merely takes a lot of time for the site moderators to remove them. They seem like Me too or a protest but they qualify as nonsense posts.

    Today my phone presented its last problem...sadly, I am getting the same error code during any app selection for download at the store.  My flashlight had stopped working so I tried to fix it...needless to say fixing the flashlight is now the least of my phone's problems...just gonna sleep on it until someone comes up with a real solution that doesn't involve "us" pitching our phones for newer or smarter ones...Everything involves money with these devices...Why have we become so co-dependent upon our devices?
