Apps wont update or intall in Lumia 920 with 8.1

[Javier Ferreira]

Hi! Since about a week I'm not being able to update nor install new apps on my Nokia Lumia 920 running WP 8.1 (devs preview). The apps stay as "pending".
When asking Nokia over twitter they ended up sending me to their forums or asking me to perform a hard-reset (wich I think can't be an actual solution)...
Anyone has this problem too? :crying:

nope, wikipedia & movie moments updated 30 minutes ago, you should go for a reset.

I'm really trying to avoid doing that, but it seems like the only way to go :unhappy:

Remove all of the apps you've queued for download and do a soft reset. Try again after that.

I've the same problem with one of the apps - My Stocks Portfolio - The update never finishes and cancels itself everytime.

Already tried that, no results :/
Now I have 18 apps with updates pending, this is starting to **** me off :angry:

Check your phone storage. I had similar issue and my phone storage was fully utilized. I had to make space.

correct. this issue may rise because of the storage space. but generally it shall be noted to you.
anyway, u can transfer a few apps to memory card and then try again updating. hope this resolves ur error.

I had the same problem with My Stocks Portfolio but surprisingly it installed the update today. OP, give it another shot..maybe there was a problem and it got resolved today.

I currently have 10.23 GB of free space :/ I don't think that's the problem (although there's 8GB of "other" storage which I don't know how to erase)

I'm starting to accept the idea of doing a hard-reset but I'm afraid that
a) it wont fix it and
b) the other issues my phone had which made apps like Nokia Camera and HERE City View unable to launch (not recognizing the APIs for accelerometer, compass and motion) may come back (the apps somehow work now)

I'm having a really hard time loving my phone right now -.-U

Buuut anyway, thank all you guys for trying to help me! I hope a solution magicaly appears soon haha :grincry:

Well, now that WhatsApp is back on the store I did a hard-reset, I can download and update apss again but the other issues my phone had which made apps like Nokia Camera and HERE City View unable to launch (not recognizing the APIs for accelerometer, compass and motion) are back :/

It could be worst, I suppose...
