maybe marketplace is acting up.
You need to be logged in to windows live on phone and computer i believe.
I've seen that message occasionally. Generally power cycling the phone solves it.

it's hasn't worked for me, i have reset my phone 3 times so far with countless power down cycles.
I have a sr with ms to see what's going on. I can download free apps but not paid apps, music, games etc.
waiting to hear from MS, lets see what happens.
I get this error from time to time when my Omnia switches from 3G to WiFi (and vice versa) A power cycle seems to be the only way to fix it.
same problem????????????
Have you enable cookies via settings? Try to uncheck that box, restart your phone and check it again.
May be also operator/network problem.
Very common thing indeed.
Check the regional settings on the device, on the computer with the Zune software and in your live account. If they are not the same you get this error message. I had the same problem and I was able to solve it due to the change of this settings.
I hope it will work for you too
i got this problem too! nothing you guys said has worked any other ideas?
Same problem here, looks like there is something going on with market.
Seems to be working now! i uninstalled some apps but could have been that it just decided to start working
that seems to be the fix. it was happening when the phone was trying to update the trial versions of apps. the only way to fix the problem is to delete the free trials... but that was a like a week ago n i havent ran into the problem again
Read in MS support forum there was some sever adjustment.
Hi everyone... as i'm pretty much stuck with my device... i'm gathering all the information we have found on the hotkeys.
Yeah, i'm so bored to try random key combination...
And yeah (2) there are some new key combs... (ha!).Anyone brave enough can help booting with the remaining keys hold.
Tested keys (pair): q , w, r, m, b
Enter APX mode (Nvidia flash)
Hold U+S+B+ Power
Prints nothing, enters APX mode
Enter Ms Pink Bootstrap mode (aka SBL mode)
Hold L+S+ Power
Prints nothing, enters SBL mode
Clear Storage memory (reset phone)
Hold C+B+ Power

Unknown, possibly downgrade the phone to original OS
Hold R+B+ Power
Prints a "reboot" arrow (and reboots)
Was reading up on Fuses, Lock Bits, and idenitified the Samsung moviNAND 8GB is part "KLM8G4DEDD-B101". Using the Samsung's Decoder pdf, found "S3C49VDX01 Controller" so did a google search and found this website
http : / / forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
There's a few modes on that galaxy phone. The button combinations probably won't work but if you are bored, try them out.
Not so bored but, they dont work. This mobile is a PITA wherever you look at it.
I did the "R+B+power" on my KIN TWOm and i got the reboot screen, then i got a screen saying "Updating modem Please do not remove battery." i got scared and took out the battery. then when i put it back it it said the updating modem thing again and i just let it sit, it finished rebooted then asked me to set up my phone and it was asking me for my windows live email, but it wasnt working so i click setup later. I had the kin studio on my KIM TWOm of course it didnt work but this might help someway.
Interesting, maybe it's a kind of restore hotkey (who knows hehe).
My problem is that it doesnt work removing the battery (removing for a little time) or letting it update (i left it about 2-3 hours updating and autoresetting till the battery died).
Maybe you could connect to verizon and get the OTA update.
If you didnt have the Loop (for kin studio) before, it just mean, as expected, that the kin twom is just a kin two with a software update removing loop and restore-able with this hotkey.
I do not recommend its use though
I now have the original KIN software on my phone using this method. Irritating that it will not sync with my hotmail, most likely because of no cloud server connection. I have lost all of my contacts.(thank god for the facebook phonebook) The spot is convenient. I find it interesting that the phone still retains the original OS.
If the original software is back, can't you use Microsoft Exchange Active Sync to synchronize contacts? Have you lost other stuff, like Zune music, etc?
I have a couple of questions:
Since you now how the original OS on the phone ...
How does it show up on the Verizon network? Is it still being seen as a Kin Twom or the original Kin Two that required data?
Is the Wifi and built in Facebook app working correctly?
Can you forward video through MMS using the Kin Stop?
I just wish there was a way to get some direction from Conflipper. It really did look like he found a way to get deeper into the original OS, even though he said he hadn't found a way to dump the ROM.

Not quite sure of the first question.
The wifi works but the loop does not because I can not finish set up, when trying to sync with my hotmail it displays a message that it cannot connect to windows live.
Yes the Kin Spot works wonderful.
I'd like to add that videos do not work.
Feed Reader will not refresh my feeds.
OTA update does not work almost everything requires a connection to the KIN server that does not exist anymore.
Rebooting Kin ONEm
Update on R+B+Power Button.
1. I performed this on a KIN ONEm, NOT a KIN two. I recommend that the forms be combined as efforts to hack both devices are very similar.
2. To answer a previous question: NO, ACTIVE SYNC DOES NOT WORK WHEN LOADING THE OLD KIN ONE SOFTWARE. HOWEVER, it does not seem to work because an error message pops up and says:
----------------------------------------
NO DATA PLAN
Your plan doesn't support Exchange sync.
----------------------------------------
SO: for people who want it, I would be interested in knowing if anyone with a KIN ONEm does the software reset and then asks Verizon for the plan. It could possibly work.
3. A DISCOVERY: pressing the R+B+Power a second time on boot kicks the software back to the "m" (as in ONEm) mode. I don't know if it's the same for the TWOm... but I bet it is. In any case, if you want to play with the original software, there seems to be a way to get back easily. FYI: It took me a couple times to do it right... and there is a pause before you get the updating modem screen and after you see the return arrow symbol. Be patient and try a couple times.
4. FACEBOOK and TWITTER and WINDOWS LIVE all do not seem to work either, giving various messages about "try again later" or "cannot connect." I wonder why. I expected the facebook address book to work re: an earlier post. I could not get it to work.
FYI: I decided to keep the "m" software as the studio does not exist anymore. For all of us too cheap to buy the data plan, I guess we don't have a big excuse to be too cheap to go to the verizon store to get our contacts synced up once in a while. To do this, I bitpimed my contacts to my old phone and then brought the old phone in. If anyone can figure out how to renable active sync or simply upload contacts - great, but until then, I may have to switch back to my old phone.
Thanks for the info posted above. It's good to know that this hotkey lets you switch and switch back to the old version (well, "m" version).
The only thing i dont like is the "update modem" (or OTA update) need, cause it probably means that you depend on verizon to get things done (like B+R+Power + get OTA).
R+B+power doesnt work on my phone?
When i try the button combination it just brings up the normal message of "Turn off? your phone will turn off now" It doesn't reboot like everyone says it should? one thing i should add is this phone a little different from the first kin twom, i'm not sure how but when i went to verizon to get a warrenty replacement the lady said "we need to send you a kin twom..two" confused i said "this is the second version?" she said "no its newer.. it's hard to explain" the only difference i can tell so far is that on model number there is no longer a hand stamped M after it. It's printed on the sticker. so maybe i'm stuck with an even more locked down phone?

You have to turn your phone off and then turn it on using the button combination to reboot.

Hey I'm wondering if you lost your contacts when you booted back into the kin "m" mode. When you went into the original software, you lost your contacts. Now when you booted back into "m" mode, did you lose your contacts as well? Also, did you lose anything else? I want to test this with my kin twom but at the same time, I don't want to lose everything I have. Thanks

It should have given you the original kin software?
I guess that doing it just for fun is kinda stupid.
Be ready to lost everything and/or **** the phone testing random things. You were advised.

I've gotten the same error. It didn't give me the original Kin software. It simply did a hard reset and deleted everything off of the device. It showed the arrow however, afterwards it simply booted up into Kin. Nothing came up hat said upgrading or anything. Could there be a KinTwoM - 2 that doesn't even come with the original Kin Two software? If it'd help I'll post a video on what happens.

It is possible, I've heard of a second generation kin twom. So maybe you have the unfortunate problem of having one, which may exclude you from future hacks.
Well R-B-Power works.....but you lose everything
So curiosity got the best of me last night and I tried the r-b-power method to update the modem and then boot into the original kin os with the kin spot and everything. The only down side is that I lost everything on my phone. Which really, other than a few photos (and the pain of having to add all my contacts again) really isn't that bad. By the way, my Kin is the Kin TWOm with a hand-stamped "m" underneath the battery, so I guess it would be called "first gen Kin twom". It booted back to the normal kin os after I did r-b-power and my phone was still activated. So anyone with a 1st gen Kin twom can try this, just be warned that you lose EVERYTHING.
This happens when I'm reading in the Evo 4G Q&A forum. I'll read a topic/thread, then hit the back button on my browser (Opera 11.01), and a file download window will pop up, reading a different file name every time, but always from view.atdmt.com. I'm able to cancel it each time, but it happens nearly every time I try to "back out" of a thread. If I'm not mistaken (which I very well may be,) atdmt is related to ads? Maybe an ad not loading properly or something?
I've searched the forums, but didn't see anyone else with this problem. Like I said, I can cancel the DL, so I'm not too worried, but I was wondering if anyone has had this happen, and just thought the mods might want to know about it.
(By the by, my machine isn't infected with anything. I've run a full virus scan since it first started happening a couple of weeks back.)
Thanks, all.
A quick Google search shows it's probably malware on your PC. Have you scanned your PC for malware using something like Malwarebytes?
I've run all-out Norton 360 a few times, but I'm downloading & running Malwarebytes right now. I'll report back with results. Thanks for the suggestion.
Well, I ran Malwarebytes, and it found one problem in the registry (which I had it fix). Rebooted, opened the forum back up, and for the first couple of threads, everything was fine, then boom, another file download. Only difference this time is it says it's from ad.doubleclick.net. Again, I can cancel it, so I'm not too worried. Guess it's something I'm going to have to live with.
Thanks again for the advice, anyway.
These domains are safe but shouldn't be trying to download anything.
Does it affect you in another browser?
After futzing with the forum in Firefox, I can't seem to recreate the problem. Must be Opera having the problem with something. I just thought it was kinda weird that it only happens in that particular forum.
Soooo, yeah. I'm too much of an Opera junkie to flip around browsers when I want to read that, so it's something I'm going to have to deal with. Maybe it'll be fixed the next time Opera does a little update (fingers crossed).
I have this situation thats hard to narrow down. Looking to see if anyone else has seen it.
This startef for me on April 6th, and continues through the update.
When visiting some web pages, the page will connect, but no data is displayed. Its obvious the page has connected. There is NO connection issue. I am connected.
Once this situation occurs, no other web page will display data. A reboot is requried.
Now, this occurs, as far as I can tell, only on certain pages, and only about 1 in 15 times. It only occurs while on WFI, and never occurs when connected only to 4g.
The pages I have had trigger this situation are:
Twitter homepage. But not in the last week.
XDA.
Has anyone else seen this? I can reproduce this everyday if I wish. It most definitely is NOT a data disconnect. But is fatal in that once it occurs, no other web page will display.
My xda page will scramble and change formating. No other page does this.
Any thoughts???
At first I figured the best I could do was test when I got home, so I wen't back to the forum list. And then it hit me! At work, using ie and no ad-block software XDA will sit and spin as certain ad site's fail to render (I just assumed it's blocked by my employer).
I don't have this problem on my phone, but then I use board-express. This never happens in Firefox or at home (where I do use ad-block software).
Could this be related? When it happens my page is all-white, and is done loading. After 5 minutes it 'pops' back to XDA.
Another question: do you experience this in mobile and desktop versions of the browser?

I would not have even thought of it as a rendering problem until I read about the Twitter page being rendered badly.
I just set the IE mobile browser to Desktop version and will be attempting to reproduce it. I cannot reproduce it on the PC at all...
It's actually a WiFi issue. I've had this problem on occasion with both my windows phones as well as my HP touchpad w/ WebOS and Android. It has something to do with certain routers holding onto a connection even when a device has dropped while in sleep mode.
I currently have a Belkin router and have had limited success in resolving it with this router. The best result I had was shortening the DHCP leasing, but still have issues on occasion.

I'm pretty sure you're right. I apparently only get the issue at home. Work...no issues. 4g no issues. I actually changed AP's yesterday at home. I had a dual band AP. Though faster, the AP was always dropping. So I put in an older Linksys and its steady. We'll see if i can dupe it with the old one.
I gave my mother a kindle fire for Christmas.
Recently it has been acting weird. She sometimes has trouble getting it to charge and then sometimes it will completely run down and lose the date and time.
I personally had to reset the date and time myself a couple of times. It reverts back to an old date and doesn't want to work right until I fix the time and date.
Even though the battery runs down, it should not be losing the time and date . Correct? There should be an equivalent of a CMOS battery to retain that info I would think.
I am going to get it from her tomorrow and keep it for a few days to see exactly what it is doing.
I am about at the point that I am going to just take back her fire AND the PC I gave her just to stop the stupid tech support calls. LOL. And when I say stupid, I mean stupid calls when it comes to the PC. She still can't understand the difference between going into outlook to check one personal ISP email account which she gives out selectively and then using the web interface to check her yahoo account which she gives out to friends. (I don't even want to setup multiple profiles in outlook. That would really confuse the **** out of her) When did **** get put on the **** list??
I once spent 10 minutes trying to explain the concept of a home page when you open IE and how she can set it to open to any site she wants when she starts IE. Even done the web page shortcuts on her desktop so IE opens to wherever she wants to start, but she forgets about that and calls me.
Any ideas on the date/time thing in the KF??
Maybe next step after I test it for a few days is to call Amazon.
If the battery dies, so does the clock.
And make sure she has "Set date and time automatically" set, or she WILL suffer from time "leaks". Wifi is a must or the auto time set won't work.
That is probably the problem complicating things. Her dsl is constantly needing to be reset. That is probably why it is not updating the time when she reboots after a recharge because the dsl is down. Thanks. I'll give that s look see.
Sent from my Kindle Fire running CM10 Jelly Bean
Went over there. She had the battery charged up this time. I turned it on and it had reset and lost the time an date. When it does that it also defaults to having wifi turned off. I turned on wifi. It immediately connected to her encrypted network and updated the time.
WTF?? Why would it lose date, but still be able to remember the password for the network?
Nevermind... I answered my own question. It stores the password in a file. You can't store the time. LOL
It would be nice to make it where wifi would stay turned on by default when the battery runs down so I don't have to walk her through turning it on if it happens again. I showed her the easy few clicks, but her eyes glossed over when I started with "Touch that little thingy right there that looks like a gear to open settings...."
