"Unable to connect to store" - Windows RT General

Ever since I updated to 8.1 Preview on my XPS10 months ago, everything appears to work fine other than the Windows Store. Every time I press on the tile, I get this error saying that I'm unable to connect to the store, and that it's either a server or networking issue. My internet connection is fine as I'm able to browse on IE, use Skype, etc.
It doesn't appear I'll be able to update to 8.1 unless this problem is resolved.. Has anyone experienced this problem and knows of a solution? I've restarted and done a recovery/factory restart/etc.. I'm clueless at this point.

Please check if you have these packages installed.

Those two weren't options on the list of updates, and I didn't see them listed in the updates already installed either... I've noticed I'm having issues installing certain updates as well. Even after a full recovery it just doesn't work. I think I'm giving up on this tablet and trade it in to look into the Venue 8 pro instead.

I haven't, but I've done google searches about this windows store issue, and most of the people just copy/paste the same response for trouble shooting. I've attempted to try the methods with no positive results. Amazon is offering $150 to trade the tablet in, and I can probably sell the dock on ebay for $40-60.. I won't be taking a huge loss since I bought it refurbished from the Dell Outlet.
After checking that forum, I noticed some others have the same exact issues.

I have store connection issues on a windows 8 laptop and a windows 8 desktop. For me though it seems to be that it recognises any web connection below 0.5mb/s as not being connected to the internet. So I can browse the web fine on my home connection, but not open the store. Tether to my phone, store is fine all of a sudden (yeah, 3g internet on phone is faster than my home internet, yet people ***** and moan about how slow 3g is).

Hmm... is zune marketplace down?

First time I've had issues with it. It will let me get to the point where I select try or buy but then when I go to verify it just continuously loads. I tried afterwards on the PC and it just says none of the above items are available for purchase. This was initially found on the moron test but I am having the same issue occur with all apps.
I had that happen about a week ago on the weekend. Come Monday, the market started working again.

Neither could I. And some of the apps were paid apps that needed updating. It was quite annoying. But I was glad to see it working again come that Monday, without the need to do a hard reset.
yup, having that issue here too, i think it's tied to either your account, or your location... not quite sure why tho...
I have had issue with market place a couple of times. Mostly the update won't succeed and I'll need to delete the app then install it again.
Having the same problem here to. Can't update or download apps (sweden).
I'm having the same problem on the phone and trying to install from the Zune PC marketplace.
Me too
yes, same in Dalian China from 19th Mar.
I tried to install apps from Zune on my PC but got error "None of the selected items is available for purchase". Anyway it worked well before. And then I tried to install using marketplace on my Focus but got another error "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Some Chinese uses got same error, but some can still download/install apps from marketplace. So it's very strange issue. Is it related to my live id?
Anyone can help on this? I only found US ZUNE support number but I cannot dial.

Just wait a day. Monday will bring it back to normal. It effects users at different times. MS might be doing some kind of tuning to the market to help refine it. At least that's what I rationalize it to be.
It's working this morning, I was able to download a few free apps and buy some songs without any issues.
I still have the Problem, and also never got that pre-nodo update... Truly sucks...

Google Now

So, from the lock screen a quick swipe up will launch Google Now. Anyone check it out yet?
I've been a pretty heavy Google products user for years, so there's a lot of info in there for me. I added my home and my work address, so it already shows me quite a bit of info when I start up.
1. Start it up and it's showing me today's weather - perfect, thank you =)
2. Showing me directions to work. Working from home, but my Gcal does say I should be in the office - thanks for that =)
3. Showing me something about a hospital nearby. Ok, not sure why but you're right, I haven't had a checkup in a while so I might be due.
4. Showing me a nearby restaurant, but as it's 2:30am - it's closed. Google Places knows what time they open, so hopefully they'll be smarter about stuff like that in the future.
How about your thoughts?

I like it. Pretty accurate and going to be a great selling point to battle siri at verizon when customers brag about siri.. (if the vzw EVER gets a ota for JB that is..) At least i can demo it on my phone until the vzw gets it.
Yea mine shows me nothing
Yes, I really like Google Now, it's great. But since one hour ago, mine doesn't update anymore, it only shows "no connection". Maybe Google switched it off?
---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------
I just found out that I can't even deactivate the cards in the app beause of a network error... But everything else including normal search works.
Really looks like Google switched it off...
Weird... working perfectly for me. Updating in real time and everything, all commands work too...
If you swipe up from the soft keys you can launch now. Same from the lock screen.
Launching is no problem, and some hours ago it worked perfectly. But now it can't connect to Google servers anymore... No matter if I use WiFi or 3G.
Maybe I'll try to wipe cache and dalvik-cache, it probably could help.
---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------
OK, that helped. First I just deleted the app-data, but it still didn't work. Then I wiped cache and dalvik cache within CWM-Recovery and now I could set Google Now up again.
For some reason Now isn't showing me anything else than the next calendar event. Not even weather. Is the whole service just in the USA? It's weird because if I search for "weather in my city" it shows it correctly as a card in search so why won't it show it automatically eventhough it's enabled?
I am not getting anything. Weather, but I have to open Google now

would it be possible to extract the google now apk?
so i could try to install it on my gs3

G3 and UP24

Well I went headlong into getting a G3 (from an S4). Love the phone, but my first issue is the UP 24 is NOT supported on this phone.
Weird as I was running 4.4.2 on my s4, so its shouldn't be an OS issue. I even called jawbone to whine, and they said "too bad not supported".
Drag, any ideas? I guess maybe when I can get recovery on here I can try some different BT stacks or something...
Are you saying the app doesn't show up in the market, or it won't find the band? Also are you using Dalvik or ART for your runtime?
This was something I was really wondering about. LG G2 isn't officially supported but seems to work. Hopefully it's an issue of not being available in the play store, and sideloading or device spoofing gets around it.
Bought the G3. Used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jackpf.apkdownloader to get the app installed (had to use the framework ID from my old phone to get it to work) and it paired and appears to be syncing!
I've spent some time playing with this. What happens is, sporadically (2-3x a day, or every 3 days, there's mo real pattern) the app gets "can't find the band" and can't sync. This then blocks BT from working with anything over BT (earbuds, etc).
A reboot fixes it. But, I have also found if you toggle off BT for about 30 secs, it seems to reset everything. Only once has the toggle not worked for me.
It's weird that once the "alert" icon shows up (can't connect), BT seems stuck for everything, so I guess the version of the BT radio is not happy with UPs constant connections and it get's stuck...
Hope that helps those of you that get this. Just running the stock 851 ATT rom, towelrooted and G3 tweaks (but this started before I rooted or tweaked, and continued after).
Also, sorry on the app question, no clue as I brought it over from a TI backup, never went to the store for it.

I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evozi.deviceid&hl=en to get the framework ID off my old phone. I think what happens is using the framework ID from the LG G3 the play store still sees that the Up app is not valid and rejects it. Using the old ID from a working device got around this. After that, searching for com.jawbone.up using the apk downloader should get it pulled down.

So I need to find someone to give me their framework id? Is the app and band still working well for you?
I had the same issue, and I love my band and I knew there had to be a way. The app has bugs, like you won't be able to change the portion size for your food entries and the bluetooth might cut out. If the bluetooth cuts out, I just open the open, open the recent apps and flick it closed. The cannot connect notification goes away and it syncs like normal.
Just go to
apkleecher . com (new to forum, can't post links! sorry. just take out the spaces)
It just downloads directly from Google Play without a Device ID to bypass any compatibility issues.
Just put the UP app link directly from the Play Store into the text field:
https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.jawbone.up&hl=en
Generate the link, and then click the white box to download UP by Jawbone 3.1.2 (or whatever version is the newest on the Play Store)
This is all done on the phone itself, just make sure under Security in settings that Unknown Sources is checkmarked before downloading.

[Q] NBA JAM can't install, download error 101

This is by far my favorite game, I came from a S3, which the game worked fine. I am able to download the game, but when it launches it requires another file, this is where the problem is, it attempts to load, then after a few seconds, download error 101. Not much can be found on google, other then other people with the issue, but no fixes that I could find.
Any help would be great, I did try to change the DPI in the build.prop to 360, that did not help, so I went back to the stock 640.
Thanks,
Eric
Same issue here on a 3f connection. I haven't tried on wifi though.
I have tried wifi, 3g and 4g LTE, all same result. I clear the data, it goes to the download screen again, then same error.
Same issue on wifi. Maybe the servers are down?
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------
OK the servers aren't down. I just downloaded the game on my Note pro 12.2. So it's something else.
I don't have the game. But I did find this thread. There are few suggestions that may be fruitful for you: Possible help
My other suggestion, if you have another Android device, I would install the game on it, and create a backup of it; there are several apps you can download to do this. Once you have the backup, you can side load the app. It should be noted that once the app is installed, there isn't another download that must be done with you initially start the application such with the GTA games. I had to do this with GTAVC on the Note II.

Thanks for the link but our issue is when we run the game and the game tries to download it's game files. I think it tires to connect to the ea servers to download. I could be wrong.
If you do Google search there are more people with this issue but on different devices.
Yeah I'm getting this too, and and error with dead space. Dead space doesn't even come up in the play store. Like why block the most powerful flagship phone?

I wonder if it's having an issue verifying you actually purchased the game. I know GTASA does a purchase check before letting one download the addition game files. I tried to play that game without purchasing and it got an error; not that error you got, but about being unable to verify purchase.
That's really odd about Dead Space. I think I had the same issue on the Note II. I don't recall if I tried side loading it.
I don't know what it is. Won't download on my tablet but would on my phone. Wifi connection on both

There is an update for nba jam for the note 4. I downloaded it and it is now letting me download the the extra data.
wouldn't do gthe additional download. Did the update, and no more error and downloaded the additions files. Appears to be working. I didn't try playing, but the game did load.
I updated in the last couple of days and at first it asked me to download additional data, and as my internet is down at home for the moment I opted out.
Today when I used and open Wifi to download the data, I get the error 1010...
I'm on a Nexus 5 though, but I couldn't find a specific thread for this for my own phone.

Surface RT - Windows RT 8.1 can't find windows updates and can't install Store Apps

Hi all, I recently got a Surface RT and reinstalled Windows RT on it as brend new device.
Windows starts from RT 8.1 and after some updates (almost 70) it updates the Surface firmware and switch to Windows 8.1 RT update (1). From that a few more updates and than my Surface can't find any windows updates and can't install Store Apps.
The Windows Update keeps being stuck on "serching for updates" forever and the Store apps won't install giving me an error about my slow internet connection.
I know for sure that the last Update is the update 3 for Win RT which I won't ever be able to install. I'm pretty sure that some update screwed my Windows Update center. I've re-installed a fresh new Win few times and alwyas got stuck at this point.
Any help?
Hi,
I have a very similar problem at the moment. I refreshed my surface 2 last week as the storage had filled up and couldn't be cleared by any other normal means. After reset, the first batch of updates would install but afterwards would get stuck on the "searching for updates". I have reset several times with the same problem occurring each time. Finally I reset using a usb recovery following the guide given on windows central forums (wont let me post link)
This time after installation, even on the first check for updates, it gets stuck. Been running now for over 24 hours and still nothing.
Hopefully someone on here will know the answer. I will follow this thread with interest.
---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------
Typical, no sooner had I written the post above then the search for updates finally finished after 25 hours. 262 updates found and ready for installation. Turns out that nothing other than (extreme) patience is required for the problem to sort itself out. It might be worth adjusting your power settings so that your surface does not go to sleep and hence interrupt the search. Good luck and hope it works out for you.
Hi and thanks for answering, I don't feel alone anymore. Here's my story:
The first time I resetted Windows was just after purchasing my Surface, brand new Win on and I used my surface for almost a week, researched for updates and installed it (firmware update and something like 76 first and 35 later) till the Windows RT 8.1 update (1).
I realized something was wrong as soon as Windows Store started giving me the same network error for each app I was trying to install. Looking for windows update was stuck on "Checking for update" for more than one hour (standby time on AC plugged in setted to never). Latest update available for the Surface RT is the Windows RT 8.1 Update 3.
Restored Windows, kept my apps but removed all the updates. Windows Store worked again, same for Updates. Installed two cycles (just like before) and again same situation... Windows Store started giving me the same network error for each app I was trying to install, looking for windows update was stuck on "Checking for update" for more than one hour (standby time on AC setted to never).
I tried every fix coming up on the web: wsreset, windows troubleshooting app for windows update and windows app and even deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder.
At this point I chatted with an MS employ through Surface assistance web page. She suggested me to reinstall a fresh windows copy from Microsoft web site using a USB drive and so I did...
Yesterday night it all came back, second cycle of updates, Windows Store started giving me the same network error for each app I was trying to install, looking for windows update was stuck on "Checking for update" for more than one hour (standby time on AC setted to never). I again tried all the fixes, nothing worked and so I restored Windows keeping my apps.
I'm now typing from my Surface, just restored but no updates installed yet. I'm really getting upset to MS for all this ****. Hope you get more luck.
Next week I won't need my Surface to much so I may try looking for updates for more than 24 hours and see if I can get out of this updates cycle.
Looking forward for better news and know if thing are working for you.
P.S. Text me the link you were talking about.
Updates: I've installed the KB2029xxx update (Update 1) and after that, as alwyas, Windows won't find any other update. I've let it check for more than 24 hours but still on "checking for updates".
Don't know what else to do.
Hi, I think it's about their servers aswell. I've tried everything and more to get out of this situation but nothing worked.
Last thing I did yesterday was:
1. Flush DNS "ipconfig /flushdns"
2. Run Windows Update troubleshooting
3. Checking for updates
And again is was stuck for hours till I gave up and shut it down.
The main difference is that flushing in DNS clear the Windows Update cache so it now looks like no updates are installed and updates history is blank.
Nothing changed tho. I guess MS removed (or blocked?) updates after Update 1.
Somewhere, somehow, I've red it's possible to "cook" your own ISO of Windows RT including major updates.
I'll find more out.
Keep us updated, the longest time for me was about 27 hours.

I checked again last night (48 hours) and again this morning. The Windows update bar was still scrolling away doing nothing. However, when I right clicked to shutdown, I now had option to 'Upsate and restart'. Choosing this it began installing 183 updates.
This was all done with Surface2 plugged in, sleep set to never, running via Wifi to 1GBps fiber broadband. I'm just happy it actually did something. Data must be drip-feeeding in using BITS at inperceptibly slow rate. So good news, it can work but just barely.
Wish you luck with yours. Hopefully @never_released can provide us an alternative OS solution in near future.

Great news. What would you suggest now? I can't let my Surface RT plugged for 2 days 'cause I need it, however I was thinking about pluging it in and let it check for updates during the night time, should be about 10 hours per day, and repeat this process till I find the magic "Update and Restart" button takes over the classic restart.
I've alwyas been checking using the metro Windows Update and not the Desktop's one.
Same issue here on my surface 2. I bought it off a buddy and reinstalled windows from an image found on the MS website. after installing the first batch of updates it just keeps searching. I found that while its searching I cannot download apps from the store it keeps spitting back the network is not fast enough despite being able to watch NF on multiple devices at once. its starting to bug me a little bit cuz i do want the new start menu.
Its not confirmed yet, but it might be worth to mention.
I've contacted Microsoft for this problem, and after hours, maybe days of troubleshooting they finally came to the conclusion that its pretty annoying.
However I did a request for making new system images (for the RT devices) since they are not supported by updates anymore.
The request has been sent and awaiting response. Let's all hope that my request will be get through and we will get new recovery images which are up-to-date anywhere soon.

Please keep us updated!
Looks like that the ony way to go trought this at the moment is to just let your Surface check for updates, AC pluged, never set to sleep, for something about 30-40 hours till, still checking for updates, opening the shutdown menu shows the "Update and Restart" option.
I just had an idea. Maybe it could work maybe not but the people who where able to receive the updates on surface rt/2 upload the contents of their SoftwareDistribution (including Software distribution.Old if present) folder located in the windows folder so us that can't get them can just install them manually. Just an idea tho.
Quick update after factory reseting my surface 2 and attempting to do the first batch of updates I found that a bunch of my important updates fail to install. Causing my tablet to loose ability to install apps and find updates no matter what fix I try. Going try installing updates manually over the next few days and see if that helps.

Mine also had many failed updates in the first batch of 64. Keep doing update/restarting. Once you get through that initial batch, they seem to more/less succeed after that.

I've gotten through about 3 sets of updates further then I've gotten before. This time I didn't use my Microsoft account and just made a local account and I only installed the one that were auto ticked I figure I've don't about 120 updates now. It's checking for updates atm but hopefully by morning it'll be done.
Hi. Windows RT 8.1 update 3 is here. But the update problem remains.

oh well thanks for that. I just hope that maybe they will make a recovery image with all the updates pre-applied. or even unlock it for us but that's just being hopeful.
now I keep getting "connection too slow" error from the app store and when I run the troubleshooter I keep getting "service registration missing or corrupt - not fixed" I've contacted support via helpdesk but they are almost useless and i cant go to the surface support because it wants me to pay because my warranty is up.
Edit- just after typing this they put me in contact with someone from the surface department. hopefully they can help fix these issues.

The Windows Update Troubleshooter always says Service Registration Missing or Corrupt. Even on a freshly recovered Surface RT/2.
It claims to fix the problem. Run it again, it detects no issue. But this only lasts until you restart. After restart, it behaves same as before. I think the Troubleshooter is actually just incorrect.

Mine won't even fix it
these issues are really starting to bug me I've reset my surface 2 about 10 times within the last 3 days. even if they stopped supporting the device we should be able to update and use it on the latest updates with no problem. talking to support is useless they always tell you to do the same steps over and over again.
