Phone recently updated to 8.1, now i can't download apps. Been through the Account.Live procedure which tries to send a code to an e-mail address which no longer exists and doesn't appear editable. Been through the "I have no code" procedure and got emailed a 7 digit code. Problem is the phone is expecting a 5 digit code so rejects it. Have tried Microsoft support but, as I expect you have all dicovered personally, they are less than supporting. Any ideas? Got about 15 apps which need updating but Computer Says No :(

Do you have a local phone store? My local store is very good at handling issues like these and I've used them a few times. In Nov, I am dumping AT&T (poor coverage) and going to Verizon, and I hope to be able to take my Lumia 920 with me.

Phone is only about 6 months old and still under warantee so think a trip to the phone shop is in order. Had resisted previously as it's a software problem, but thinking about it, the software was supplied with the phone so it's the suppliers problem. Will report back. :cool:
