Error code 80070490 on your phone

Modern Windows Phone - a multifunctional device from Microsoft, which are installed almost the same operating system as on a regular desktop computer. The flagship model of "Microsoft" is rightly considered a smartphone Nokia Lumia, which broke all the records on sales and heavily pressed the "apple" products. This is not surprising, because everyone dreams of having a laptop in hand in miniature.

However, despite such popularity, error code 80070490 periodically appears on Nokia's Lumiya. Such a nuisance does not surprise anyone, because PC owners with Windows operating system often also see such a numerical "set". Let's try to figure out how to solve this problem.

Causes of error

Most often, error code 80070490 appears in the following situations:

• When you try to go to the application store or during the installation process;
• At the time of downloading mobile instant messengers, such as WhatsApp or Viber.

In both cases, the problem usually arises from the lack of a Microsoft account or its incorrect work. Accordingly, so that the error code 80070490 on the phone no longer appears, just connect your smartphone with Microsoft. However, before this, you need to perform several steps.

How to return phone to factory settings

Registration on the official website of the manufacturer is a prerequisite, which should be followed immediately after the purchase of the smartphone. Thus, the user maximally protects himself from troubles with the phone and the occurrence of error code 80070490.

In order to re-register your phone on the official website of the manufacturer, you will have to perform several preliminary manipulations:

1. Go to the phone in the "Settings" and find the "Device Information" tab.
2. In this section, select "Reset settings".

After that, the phone will "reset". However, it is worth considering that this will delete all data, and Windows Phone will return to the factory settings. Therefore, before executing these steps, it is worth copying all the important files, photos or phone numbers to a removable media.

Next, you can go directly to the registration itself, which will help solve the problem with error code 80070490 on Lumia.

How to create an account in Microsoft

Registration on the manufacturer's website can be done in several ways:

• From the phone. To do this, go to the "Settings" and find there "Mail and accounts." Then you need to click "Add service" and tick the box next to "Microsoft account". After that, it only remains to create a profile and follow the instructions on the smartphone screen.

• From the computer. To do this, open the browser and go to the official website of the manufacturer. The next step is to fill in all the necessary fields that appear on the screen of the monitor. When specifying the age, it is better to write numbers greater than 18 (even if this is not true). If you install less, then you may experience problems downloading and installing applications. When everything is ready, you just need to click "Create an account" and follow the instructions.

If a user already has an account with Microsoft that was registered through the Xbox game console or Hotmail mail server, then it is not necessary to create an additional account.

If error code 80070490 appears, and registration was already performed after the purchase of the phone, it remains only to "reset" the settings.

Also, during the download of various applications, other "digital warnings" may appear.

In this case, in addition to the code that appears, there will be no access to WhatsApp, Viber, and other messengers. In addition, the user will not be able to download applications to the phone.

To solve this problem, you need:

• See if there is free space on the phone. Perhaps the device just does not have enough memory. In this case, it is enough to delete a few songs or photos. For the normal operation of the smartphone software requires about 100 MB.
• Try to synchronize the US "Microsoft" and check if the date and time on Windows Phone is correctly set.
• Start the mobile Internet on your smartphone or connect to a wireless access point. After that, you need to go to mail.live.com and create an account there by entering your email address.

If the execution of these operations did not bring any result, and the errors still continue to appear, then you need to reset the settings, as described above.

Error 805a8011

In addition to the error code 80070490, other faults often occur on the Nokia Lumia. If 805a8011 appears on the screen, then this may indicate that when you connected to Marketplace, the data verification failed.

To solve this problem, you need:

• Check the network connection. If you use Wi-Fi, then you need to try switching to another access point or go online via the mobile Internet.
• Check the time zone set on the phone.

• Specify whether the personal information in the Microsoft account is fully filled in. The fact is that Microsoft periodically checks the correctness of information provided by users. If some fields are not filled, the profile can be temporarily blocked for security reasons.
• Restart the device. It is better to take out a battery for a few seconds. After that, you need to return it to the site and turn on the device again.

• Perform an "easy reset" of the settings. To do this, you must simultaneously hold the "+" button on the volume on the phone and on the power button and hold them for about 10 seconds. As soon as the vibration is triggered, you can release the buttons and wait until the system is fully booted. In this case, you do not need to worry about the safety of the data. This procedure does not delete photos, music, or other files.
