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.
how to solve and fix error code 805a0193 when trying to install apps
Split from this thread.
How can you get to download a app without getting the 805a0193 error - i need to get whatsup on my lumia windows phone and all i get is the error - do i really have to go get a android phone why does microsoft just suck at these things - is there a solution or not or must microsoft just get dumped there phones suck
my phone has failed to download any apps off window's store.
what might be the problem and how can I fix it.
One more thing...
If you want to use your phone with Windows, support for 8.1 Windows phone ended in July of 2017.
Microsoft still offers support for 10 on your phones. I am getting the idea that you need to upgrade from 8.1 to 10 to install apps maybe?
Support for Windows Phone 10 is pretty much not there anymore, although some updates do show up occasionally (I'm seeing April)?
But I'm starting to think that your apps may not install until you have the latest OS (10) installed.
Again, don't get upset. Problem solving is a process. Volunteers are trying to figure this out for you. Work with them, it's a two-way process.
