cant connect to store or xbox... - Nokia Lumia 920

So i just got my new lumia 920, and i cant connect to the store to download apps and i can't connect to my xbox account either. It says check data or try again later. Im on wifi, which i know is working cause in posting this on the internet from my lumia.

I went through that last night. I could browse and sync email and everything else except connect to the store. The error, of course, could not be more vague. I tried using my live account to get something done and that also failed with a nebulous error like "Oops. Someone went wrong and we don't know what it is". Yes, seriously. I hit the feedback button and fired off a rather angry bit of feedback. After about 4 hours it just magically worked again and has worked since. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I've never experienced anything like that with such bull**** errors for no reason on any other platform. This is how a really nice piece of hardware like the 920 coupled with a really nice system like Windows Phone 8 can still fall flat on it's face. Microsoft stupidity. Reason #14175 why Ballmer needs to be dragged out back and shot immediately.

I reset and it works great now

Server downtime also happens periodically on other platforms. It's really not that big of a deal.

It was just frustrating cause i just got the phone and i couldn't download anything. I reset it and it worked though.

It MAY be necessary to log in the first time to your microsoft account via cellular. Once you've done it once, it seems to be happy using wifi going forward.

What are you using for your email client? I've used Lotus Notes Traveler (i know, yuck - no choice) on Liberty, Eclipse and Molten and haven't had a problem with any of them. The initial sync may take awhile depending on how large your inbox is and such. With Traveler, at least, it does some sort of authentication with the first sync and will report connection errors until it makes it through the first time. I had to wait forever until i decided to do some housekeeping in my inbox (long overdue) and tell it to sync only 1-weeks worth of history...
well i got with my IT guy from a different state and we are able to figure it out, had to get some file out of the way dont remember exactly how it was blocking it but he also roots and roms his phones so knew generally what was going on. i do appreciate the insight for sure, thats why i cam here was to find some insightfulness before actually having to tell the IT guy i was messing around haha, but gladly he was understandable telling me he's almost bricked numerous phone by always trying new stuff. i really wish i knew what we deleted so that way i could post it on here, and see if it would help anyone else or so the dev's could take a peek, maybe was my phone but i know i did full wipe before flashing so kind of hard to say, but again thanks i know noobs will be noobs but i also know forums and how to look before asking! im on overclock.net and such for pc and understand the aspects of what to ask and where! haha
Im rooted running Eclipse 1.3 and I have no problems with my corporate email... we do have our own exchange server here in IT so that may be a difference... I can even wipe my entire phone from my web accessed exchange email.....

As an IT guy myself, i think screwing around with technology is in our blood. You should ask him, see if he remembers, i would also be interested in knowing what your actual issue was. I had problems that seemed to surface at one point with the Blur email, it wouldn't authenticate. It seemed to work for a while but one day... It never seemed to be an issue with eclipse however because I could set additional parameters that allowed for security etc.

Google wallet stuck at initializing your device?

My wallet was working fine yesterday then I checked it and it said balance unavailable, so i reset it, now whenever I try to get it to restart or even restart the phone, it gets stuck at initializing your device, i'm hoping it's a server issue, but in not, google has to do something about this, this can't be cost effective for carriers to replace devices due to this issue. I did nothing to make this happen so getting it replaced doesn't solve much cuz i have no assurance that it isn't gonna happen again... this happen to anyone else?
I had similar issues, Google wallet is buggy! I also get Citi is unavailable at this time. Please try again soon. Must be another beta product. lol
Google wallet is down... been like this for like 5+ hours.
yeah I finally went thru after 3+ of initializing, this is soooo buggy! i cleared my setting and not touching it until i actually know i'm gonna use it!
back to initializing smh, buggy pos

i called customer service. it's been down atleast 5 hours as i write this. They told me that "provisioning is down" and "cards are suspended". Sylvester claimed to be the training rep there, but couldn't tell me what that really meant, and said he had no other updates and couldn't say if it was a planned outage. I asked about transferring my money away from google wallet. he had to check with someone and came back and told me if i could give him my id, then he could have my money transferred in 30 to 45 days....
I asked if there was someone he could call to try and get an update. he said there was noone to call.
I asked how i would have been notified of this outage. he said google would email me...well i don't have an email...he said it's because google hasn't sent one.
guess the lesson here is don't rely on google wallet.
This Google Wallet system is broke. This BETA crap needs to stop. I am still waiting on $40 dollars from getting a Nexus. They need to get it together.

I'm in this boat as well. I loaded 50 on wallet last Thursday. Was going to be my lunch allowance for the next 2 weeks. Now I go hungry today, and have to pack some PBJ for the rest of the work week. *sigh*
I as well reset my wallet app this morning (in preparation for rooting) and now I'm stuck at "initializing your device". I really don't like this, it makes me uneasy. You would think google of all people would have the resources setup to deal with an influx of traffic.
I love google wallet and I hope they straighten these issues out.
Don't sweat it... The same thing happened to me... I was going to unroot and exchange the phone but then the next morning I thought I would give it one more try and it worked fine... I would give it a day.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one having this issue. I tried resetting in preparation for rooting, but it got stuck at 99%, then it restarted. Ever since I haven't gotten it past initialization. D:
Perhaps they're trying to put a stop this insecure element thing. Lets hope they realized it could potentially keep a lot of people from using wallet

Still broken, support still has no clue. I asked them about the transaction that says "sent" but i don't see any record for...they had to check.
tried to buy food overnight with the app, says sent, but the store never got it. had to pay with my real card. money network says if after 3 days it's still being held, to call back for a dispute.
horrible horrible tech support....
wayyyyy too buggy for me, and if it come back online and all our secure elements are borked, they are gonna had a huge issue!

Galaxy SIII flashed to Cricket - cant send mms & more

Hi, I can see that this has been a problem for many users but darned if I can find anywhere that the question has been answered. The one answer that I did find said to download the Android Messaging app from the Playstore. I immediately went to do just that only to see that the app doesn't handle mms anymore. My phone is not rooted, and I'm really terrified to do that. I don't think I can root it anyway, see issue number 3 below.
I bought this phone Christmas 2012 and went with Verizon. We've recently moved and I changed my provider to Cricket. I went to a general cell phone store and they flashed the phone. Since then I've had a few issues. I'm really afraid to root my phone and would rather not have to go that route. Even though this phone is giving me problems, it's still far better than my previous phone, a Huawei Ascend.
First, I can't send pictures. I can receive them just fine, but when I try to send pictures the whole text fails to send, not just the pics. Also, I have to keep any text messages basically within the little window that you type in. If my message is longer than that (I don't know how many characters) then the receiver only sees what has been described as jibberish. So, even though it drives me batty, I have to send texts like "R U NE were near us? Hw mch longer will U B?" Or, instead of "I wanted to go to Kroger but had to got o Walmart instead" I write "at Wally's, hate it here!" arg.... I'm a word/grammar/English nut, shortening my words like that is really irritating.
I've tried the regular stock messaging app, GoSMS, Chomp, Handcent and something else, I can't remember off the top of my head what it was. Apparently it's not the app that's causing the issue. I've tried turning off wifi and just using the cell data, which didnt work.
Second, I am constantly getting a popup message that basically says Please wait while we prepare this application for it's first use. I can't get out of it while it's doing that, I just have to wait for the error message to appear.
Third, for some reason I can not connect my phone to my laptop so that I can back it up. My phone will charge while it's plugged into the USB port, so I know it's connected, but I can't see the phone on my laptop or the laptop on my phone. I've installed, uninstalled and re-installed the Samsung SIII drivers for Windows. I've tried Kies on my desktop, but it wont connect, neither by USB nor wireless. I can get to Kies Air, but I can't figure out how to do a backup from that angle. I've also tried Helium, which tells me to connect my device. This issue is a little worrisome, because sooner or later, I'm really going to wish I had my backed up!
I also have 2 questions ... since I'm not on Verizon any longer, are there any of the Verizon stock apps that I can safely uninstall, without damaging my phone? And, an sd card. I remember on my Ascend I could take out the sd card (at least, I think that's what it was!!) and put it into an adapter thing I bought, then plug that into my computer and do backups, etc that way. I can't figure out if this phone even has an sd card that I can take out like that. I dont see that any of my apps are available to move to the sd card, and the option to mount the sd card is greyed out, so do I even have one?
In spite of these problems, I really do love this phone. It is so much better than my previous phone, a Huawei Ascend. It sure would be nice if these issues could be fixed though, so here I am. Your help is appreciated, thank you in advance!!!

Whatsapp Virus spreading?

Hello everyone,
I might have a big problem.
This morning I booted my HTC One M7 as usual, and when it finished booting it opened a browser tap with a fake whatsapp update. I closed the browser immediately, and five minutes after this, the exact same thing happened. I started thinking how this could happend, and honestly I have no clue. All my apps are from the play store, and I only download documents for school. I haven't even downloaded a new app in the last week, however 15+ of my apps aren't up to date.
I scanned my phone with malwarebytes and it couldn't find anything. I rebooted my phone after the scan, and the problem seems to be gone. I was telling this story to a friend of mine this afternoon, and my mother said that she experienced the same thing, just a couple hours before I experienced it. After further investigation, it wasn't exactly the same. When she opened whatsapp, it asked her to do a weekly back-up of her chats. At first, she closed whatsapp, but when it appeared again, she clicked yes. She wasn't very clear about this, so I don't know if it was a fake menu, or the real deal. I have also scanned her Moto g (2013), and it found no malware.
I don't know if this could be harmfull. Especially because my parents use their phones for mobile banking.
This is a screenshot of my HTC
It could easily have been done through whatsapp. Part of the reason most people have stopped using it. Viruses run rampant I'm just about all of Facebook apps. And no anti virus will find them as they are vastly different then normal viruses.

Yeah I heard alot of people in Europe use it alot, here in the states almost no one uses it really except for kids. Most have moved to hangouts.
If I was you I would completely back up the device and then wipe everything and reflash the device.
Things like this will not be picked up by so called virus scanners.
I'am afraid that it is something like ShiftyBug (https://blog.lookout.com/blog/2015/11/04/trojanized-adware/). In the article it says that you have to install apps from third parties, but I have almost never done that. I have downloaded popcorntime in the past, but I have deletet it almost 6 months ago.
I'm afraid that if I reflash my device, that it will come back fairly soon. Is it possible that it has spread over my wifi network? Because of the fact that my mother got something similar on the same day.
But how do I know for sure that it is a virus? After I restarted my phone (12 hours ago), it hasn't shown up yet. Am I worried for nothing, or is there a big chances that I'm infected?
Thank you for all your replies!

The key word there is almost. If you reflash the device and it comes back then it maybe something that someopne else downloaded and was shared through your network. As you said your mother also saw it so I would go through her phone as well.
There are many apps out there that do this that are in the play store. So it is all a matter of being careful.
There is a chance. If it is big or not depends on how you use your device. It could also have come from a website someone visited. Im not saying you did but many porn sites are set to infect devices when they visit them.
If it was me. I would just start from scratch with each device and make sure that all the things installed are legit.
You could also run a logcat and try to reproduce it. That would tell you what is causing it.

Then you have not been paying attention. Any browser pop that tells you to update an app is 99% an infected apk. It is a common practice for those that take apks and re-package them with malware
After reading more i must admit you are right.... My bad:good:
So I have to flash my phone, aren't there any other options? And if not, how do I reflash The HTC firmware to my phone?
Should I make a back-up before doing this, won't the malware spread again if I instal the back-up on my phone?
Thanks again!
EDIT:
Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to reproduce the problem.
I still haven't been able to reproduce the pop-up.
I do propably know where the problem came from, a friend of mine sent me a older version of soundcloud (the new one can't cache music). I installed that app, decided that it was to old for me and deleted it. The malware must have spread right after the first use. I'm planning on flashing my phone inthe weekend.
EDIT: I can reprodce the pop-up! It's linked to opening the app 'night mode', this app was downloaded in the official play store 2 years ago. Since then it hasn't got a lot of updates though.
Hey,
Time for a little update.
Last weekend, I contacted HTC's customer support due to the fact that I couldn't find my software version. They told me that I should execute a RUU, but they couldn't find the right version, so I had to contact the Dutch customer support (I didn't do this in the first place because the Dutch customer support wasn't open in the weekend).
The next monday (23-11) I contacted the Dutch customer support and asked them for the ROM, and unfortunately due to the regulations they don't publish the ROM's. However, they told me to do a factory reset and that should solve the issue. Unfortunately, it didn't. After the reset, I now get a different Whatsapp pop-up once or twice a day. The pop-up isn't connected to opening an app, like it was before the reset.
A friend of mine experienced the same problem this week on his new Moto X. All the other phones in my home network don't have this problem.
I hope someone will be able to help me!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, we both use the wifi network at our high school. But I did the factory reset friday evening, and since then I haven't connected to that network.
It might have spread through that network though.

Depending on the malware a factory reset will not remove it. In fact most malware cant be removed that way. You have to flash the whole device to get rid of it.

As he said. Here is what I would do if I was in your place. Anyone got any extra steps to add feel free to chime in. This would kinda suck for a bit.
You will need a custom recovery. And a bit of time to set up
1. Take everything off device.
2. Format full device in recovery. Not factory reset. Format system, data, internal storage and both caches.
3. Flash complete stock firmware.
4. Get root before rebooting
5. Reboot, do not connect to wifi during set up. Do not restore anything.
6. Get Catlog from the play store and run it.
7. Then continue set up. Wifi and ect. Scan backed up files with a pc virus scan but only return what you really need.
8. When restoring from TIBU install apps fresh from the market and restore data only to apps. (sucks I know but only way to be sure) make sure to delete old back and redo.
Then monitor catlog. This will tell you everything going on. You would be able to figure it out.
Lol... Use adaway or adblocker and such pop up will be gone ... These are the new tricks from those freaking advertisement companies. They are now smart buddy. Even they can access the vibration as the pop up will come phone will get vibrate and users understand this as genuine and click on those ads . You got whatsapp pop some got browser pop up. Hope this will help u ...
Even you can flash moaAB ADBLOCKER from recovery.

What are Chimera Modules in Google Services??

Hey guys, i got a scareware pop up last night and rebooted my phone.
Then it popped p again so I googled I should disable my ad preferences. but While I was looking through my google stuff I found a ton of these "modules"
I don't remember them being there before. Between the Chimera Virus and the Chimera tool floating around out there, and not being able to find good information on it..., , it makes me pretty paranoid.
I noticed in settings that I have these Chimera Modules in the bottom part of my google services info.
Does anyone know what those are and why they are there?
First of all, this would be better suited for the Q&A forum.
To somewhat answer your question, if I were to take a guess, something you installed, probably in the hopes of gaining root or unlocking your device, was either malware or a scam. There is a site for this tool which looks really shady. I've never heard of it, so I could be completely wrong. If I were you, I would uninstall your most recently installed apps and see if it goes away. Otherwise, I would do a factory reset to protect myself.
Would second the factory reset - if you're rooted I'd also take a scorched earth approach and wipe as much as I can within recovery just to make sure.
I found similar modules on my phone in Google Setting "[internal] section. But from what I can see inside it lists only packages from Google Services and after a bit of searching Google Services contains package with "chimera" in its name namely: "com.google.android.chimera.container.*". Therefore I think it don't have to be connected with any adware/spyware etc. you might have accidentally installed on your phone. Maybe it showed up lately on many phones with some update or it was there already for sometime? Waiting to hear about it from other users.
how can you make your ph delete what is added because ive got stuff on my ph & dont know what all has been added since i bought ph had 1 yr my furst i know nothing about them

Countlesd, irreplaceable photos, cherished momentz and video are all gone!!! Our Precious Memories that only I took the time to capture, are not expected to ever be seen, again!! I just found out my Router has also been hijacked, I'm learning terminology I was never before interested in learning (and, really...I still am not...I am and app chick...I love trying and using new apps)! My calls, posts, texts,, emails have been intercepted and, responses have been returned as though I were compiling the messages in whatever form, now, none of my old friends will speak to me....so, I have no social life, anymore. I'm constantly being redirected elsewhere on the web, I passed background and DMV checks for both Uber and Lyft, but, I can't drive for them when even their Driver apps are badly compromised, that I cannot even get to the part of the app where I log on, I just keep being redirected!!! Since this all started about a year ago, I may spoken to an actual employee of my Service Provider....MAYbe 4 times...it took me a long while before I realized my outgoing calls were intercepted and I was speaking to an imposter!!! Oh and ALL of the so-called Antivirus apps are completely bogus and easily disarmed (while returning false results that your "device (or, apps or, files or, system, etc) are safe and virus-free"....and you are LOOKING AT THE VIRUS WORK ON THE APP AND YOU SEE ALL THESE REALLY MESSED UP COMMANDS IN THE LOGS AND URL STRING AND, PFOGRAMS, BUT your device is SAFE!!! UNfrkgbeLIEVABLE!!! This stuff is so REAL AND UNFRKGREAL!!! WTH???? You'll never catch these supervillain superbeings with their superintelligence who are on a supermission....I'm one of them. I had a lot of stuff here in this box, but I didn't copy like I usually do and now a huge chunk of it is gone. Nevermind, I'm not in the mood, anymore. Carry on with making me supermiserable in your superdon'tgivdadamn way. I'm just going to go to bed, watch YouTube, if you let me and, chill in a superchill way. Carry on, Carry on. By the way, Kaspersky didn't last e minutes of the first layer of attack by cyberthemfkngangsta...I'm telling you it Kaspersky was disarmed and effectively rendered disabled and wholly ineffective. Better come deep and loaded on brain grains...feeling much more powerful than your websites. Simple as that. Good luck.

Hi comprohacked .. Its nice to know in not the only one .. I am a network engineer with a bachelors in computer science, so I'm much more familiar with the things I have seen. Fighting it has only proven to render my devices unusable, but it has been extremely educational for me. I can tell you some of the things vie learned so far: first of all they use UPnP and a vulnerability in Adobe to gain access. They even moved my Adobe from the programs list to my windows update list. They are very stealthy as my system event codes show them errorig out hundreds of times until they get a success, then continue, what they were doing was elevating their access beginning with default then user, up to admin, and continue until the have system access .. Basically as far as programs or anything else, its windows itself making requests. Then they use what's called a root kit, they actually flash your bios and create a second bios that can not see or access. They map your I/Os and reserve memory space on your periphials ad flash the ROMs of your video, audio, network card, USB ports and really everything else .. And while they take complete root control and ownership of all the hardware, they use network discovery to find every device, cell phones, playstations, Xbox,notebooks, routers, modems, anything connected and do the same thing to all of these, then set up a raid, meaning fault tolerance, or lets just call it a backup of each system on other systems on the network, that way even if you get passed the b
Mbr rootkit somehow, and somehow able to regain control of your PC or phone and reset it, they just put it back as soon as it boots up again. They basically sandbox you as a child environment, while they have a parent profile that overlays whatever they want you to see. They Grey out buttons for setting that can potential trip them up, proxy your web traffic .. They configure servers for your dns and the list goes on. You see on captures that your dns traffic is going out to your loopback address of 127. The will have small portion of your hard drive where they keep whats called metadata, lets just say they have backups of their backups .. Ive experienced everything you listed and more .. They use legitimate software from windows or google but hide the rest,and since they control the OS they tell the programs whrrr they can and canyon look.
These are nit kids doing it, it is far too advanced fir that, and with the language packages I would say nit just America, but several other countries . They eveN have bk
You described to a t exactly what I have on all of my devices. Can you share about what to do about it?
I'd like to drop some information about what your describing Phil, and some of the people/organisations connected with developing it, and how it has been used in the finance and trading sector. Can you or anyone suggest links to places on the web or ways I could do that? Effectively, so that the information spreads quickly.
Have u found a soultion
My husband and I are currently dealing with the same issue down to a t. Any more info on any of it so far?
Same thing
It started about 2 months ago. First i use comcast internet. Comcast was out front on the pole doing something idk cause i dont have neighbors an my internet was fine. Then a week later a public utilities truck was across the street on a pole that didnt have a transformer on it. They installed a box at the top. Proware technologies. I walked over to them and they hurriedly got down and left. I thought strange. So i went to my desktop and looked at my network and even wierder is i had a some pc connected by ethernet to my comcast modem that was sitting in front of me. I only have 1 computer hooked up by ethernet that i know of and can see only one cable to my pc. So i hurriedly copied all the info from mac address etc of the mysterious connected pc. After about an hour they had chsnged my name of hetwork and had hidden there pc. Theres a lot more that i wont blab on about but i think its the FBI. The box came down last weekend in the middle of the night- but i still cant get any internet company they all tell me they dont service my area when ive had them in the past. Im connected to sum modem i have no idea where cause its not the one i should be connected to. Its crazy. I feel crazy. Drives me crazy! Friends cell phones get all screwed up wen they come over. Its aweful. What can i do?
My wife and I have also had this same NOBUS level hack done to us and after 9 months I realized a few tricks that have shut them down several times but they always seem to figure some new hack to thwart my efforts until I finally took a screwdriver and shorted out my MOBO out of shear frustration. That seemed to work! Lol well now I do everything on my cell that I had to root to eliminate their emulated files and restore a custom ROM. As for the PC that is a harder nut to crack...
Thank God, I thought I was losing my mind,3 laptops, 2 cable companys and 3 different phones, and now these modules, my daughter thinks I'm nuts but I know what I see and I know what I have done, factory resets don't work, I keep changing my password info my wifi info even my numbers, if I'm not using my phone or wifi I keep it disconnected this is crazy, what's the purpose.
OK I've done some extensive research on this google play services chimera. It's not a bug or virus or . It's google play services latest secret weapon to control our devices. It's a container full of different modules. I've blocked some through amplify. They start as an alarm. Then turn to wakelocks. One is a system update server that runs continually while our phones try and sleep. Killing our batteries. I'm running Oreo Android 8.0 and have just recently started seeing this said activity. It's no wonder normal people that don't root their devices have no idea what these are. Being slipped in on updates. They know what we know and it's their efforts to go around that and try different things to regain control of anything computerized. Take for instance. Was talking in conversation the other day. Mentioned New Nike shoes. Low and behold next day it's in my damn Facebook feed. Uninstalled fb, that's just way to much for me. Hope this might help. But definitely not a virus
Oh my god i am so glad i found this i am crying. I literally thought i might be insane. Been dealing with this for over 2 years but has lately gotten worse by a mile. For now I'm just relieved I have company. I do not believe it is Google. There is a "real" Google out there and everytime I interacted with them they were helpful. Currently though I'm connecting to some imposter "Google" in India. I also have comcast but the router in my basement is NOT the one I am connecting to. Everyone thinks i am a lunatic when i tell them any of this. I kept seeing the term Firefly come up and it feels important
Same same
Comprohacked and ppl below. Exact same thing has been happening to me for months. No one will help not even family. No one speaks to me. I knew nothing at all at first. Ive been scammed etc. Phone after phone. About 30 this yr. I dont know if this will work because everytime i type something om a forum it never sends or theres always an issue with it redirecting etc. I dont even log onto google anymore om a new phone but theres still a hidden account connected and **** downloading itself. Photos get deleted. I have a daughter now and ive lost everything. Im embarrassed for her to see how lonely i am when she grows up. Its all government related. I do know that and how corrupt this world is. How google are allowed to do whateber they want. Im on medication now. I dunno if anyone has had any luck on how to claim there lives back but im just about done for good. Just thanks to everyone coz i know im not alone.
What the hell is going on in here? I feel like I'm scrolling through a conspiracy post on reddit or something. I need more info!

It's funny you say that. Not considering the other ways described previously in this post, I just knew my modem was the source of my issues, thinking I had eliminated all other possibilities. Ironically a screwdriver through the Ethernet device (not sure of exact terminology here) took a screwdriver through the center of it. Worked well for turning it into trash lol.
Targeted
You people who have been locked out of your own devices and online accounts...google "Targeted Individual."
