[AKXOne]

Glad I'm not the only one!

Happening on my Lumia 920 for both QuizUp and TrueCaller.

Very annoying!

 

[smrutiranjan727]

For me also. It's ridiculous...

I am having this error also. I can't update existing apps or download new ones!

 

[Pradeep Kalburgi1]

Same here..can't update existing apps. Aarggghhhh

 

[Kunalya]

Now its happening with my another 2 apps. 1) candy crush saga 2) movie creator beta.
Now just waiting for someone expert or known this issue person must reply.

Yeah me2 same error coming. Waiting for solution. Microsoft do new things but messed up the old things.

I have found a solution to this problem that worked for me. I went to the list of apps that were pending for update, held my finger on each app to bring up a menu and selected 'cancel update' or 'cancel install'. From there I navigated to the windows store, searched for the app, selected it then either selected 'update' or 'install' and it worked perfectly. I didn't uninstall any apps to do this. I hope this solution might work for others. Good luck.

Did not work for me, I still can not get it to download without error code 80073cfb, GeoGPS downloaded this morning and installed just fine but not TrueCaller, when I cancel install it just stops but does not remove itself from download list.

I had this problem, also, and here's what worked for me:

1. Cancel the downloads and/or uninstall the apps of concern.
2. Go to your phone settings and set the date+time to update manually.
3. Go to your email+accounts and force your Microsoft account to update/sync.
4. Return to the store and retry the download/update.

You may try restarting your phone before #2 or before #4, but in my case I didn't have to restart my phone. You may also to go straight to #2 without tapping on "Attention required". Let us know if this works for your as well.

The things that did not work for me:
restarting the phone
performing a soft reset
changing the region (to my actual region... must... have... Cortana)
uninstalling the app
retrying the update/install 36 times
threatening the phone

P.S. I asked TrueCaller through Twitter about the problem - they have redirected me to a TrueCaller help, but that isn't necessary at this point since the problem might be from Microsoft's side.

 

[RumoredNow]

From everything I have ever read or heard, TrueCaller is more problems than function... [/my2cents]

Same prob .. But I tried to download some other new app to check this issue I got same prob .. Wat abt others??
.. Is it issue with WP store or with only apps??

 

[Harsha YelaWolf]

Facing the same problem with quizup & true caller updates!

 

[Anupal Nag]

hopefully this will help

1. uninstall the apps which are not updating

2. browse the windows phone store from a pc n sign in with your Microsoft a/c

3. select the app you want to install

4. click reinstall/install(the app will be send to your mobile and get installed)

5. remember to turn on wifi or data connection on your phone.

I have updated other apps today only TrueCaller is not working and kicking out the Error 80073cfb

I tried every possible options that was suggested above. but none of them seemed to work. Then i tried downloading the file in my laptop. i connected my phone using usb cable. i created a new folder in my sd card and stored that app file over there. then went to store clicked on the three dots and found the option Install Local Apps. i clicked on it and followed accordingly app installed perfectly.
Hope this helps. please reply if it worked for you guys.

I too had this error when then update came up and just waited till the weekend and it installed as normal.
I would say, just wait for a fix, but do not uninstall as you'll lose it completely.

Hey WP lovers!

We are looking into this issue about the error code. We have seen it effected some other apps, so we are not quite sure what the problem is. We are in contact with Microsoft, so hopefully things will be resolved as quickly as possible.
