So i was using lumia 720 as a daily driver. Downloaded many apps recently through store. But now after factory reset when I try to sign in the microsoft account it says - ( Can't connect . We can't connect at the moment. Wait for a little while and try again). The same problem occurs when i try to install some app. then it shows error (We seem to be experiencing technical difficulties...... This error code may be helpful : 80070057).

Things I have done to solve the problem but not worked.

1. I have checked the date and time and set it manually.
2. Tried both wifi and data connections.
3. Tried changing the language and reseting and then again changing restarting.
4. For region used INDIA - time, date, language.

IF ANY ONE HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM PLEASE HELP. ( country - INDIA)

ALSO have not used Windows insider program to go to any other os (win 10) other than normal OTA updates.

Hi, from a quick google search this seems quite a common problem.
Try deleting your Microsoft account on your phone and then add it again.

Ah, I see. Is there a different Wifi point you can connect to?
You say a factory reset, is this a hard reset? or using the Windows Device Recovery Tool?

I take it you are still running WP8.1.
I have just noticed another user has posted that they can't log into their Microsoft account on their Lumia 635 running 8.1.
Therefore this issue may be MSFT's end and not a fault with your phone.
Are you able to contact Microsoft via the chat function on their website? (Assuming you have a pc / laptop).
Other than that give it a day or so and the issue may be rectified.

I've noticed a similar problem with an established phone running Windows Phone 8.1 (my main phone), trying to open the Store, where I get error code 805a01f7. I don't get the error on a Windows 10 Mobile device.

PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED.
So next day after woking up I was able to sign in as regularly. This is more like a Microsoft Server issue. So those who have this problem just wait for 1 or 2 days.
