Error 80070020 that may appear onMobile devices running Windows-based systems, the phenomenon is quite frequent. As practice shows, usually such a failure appears on Lumia smartphones (although other models are not immune from this). Many simply do not know how to deal with it. Meanwhile, nothing complicated here. But first, let's find out what, in essence, marks the error code 80070020 in the message. After that, you can choose the most suitable method to eliminate the failure.
Initially, however strange it may sound, the problem is the impossibility of synchronization on the device of an officially registered Microsoft account.
Error code 80070020 Windows devicesappearing in the message indicates this indirectly, although the main text says that it is not possible to update the smartphone. Actually, this problem is inherent not only in mobile, but also in many stationary Windows systems.
Now consider how to fix the situation.By analogy with stationary systems, the error 80070020 of Windows-based mobile devices can appear only because the date and time are incorrectly set on the device.
But if in ordinary PCs and laptops to changethe parameters need only be in the BIOS, here it is enough to enter the settings menu, disable the automatic time setting, select the region corresponding to your location, correct the date and time, then save the settings and perform a full reboot of the mobile device (without this, the changed parameters will not take ).
Another misunderstanding when an error occurs80070020, due to the fact that some mobile gadgets refuse to recognize removable memory cards. For example, the same Lumia models very often “spit out” SanDisk cards.
It is not known what is the reason, but even the usualReplacing the drive with a card from another manufacturer in some cases fixes the problem. Here are just the cards of the above production, even if formatted as expected, should not be used, because the system can again begin to “swear”. And we should not understand that absolutely all Windows devices react to such situations in such a negative way. It is worth repeating that this applies exclusively to the model lineup Lumia.
Another reason that Windows Phone error 80070020 appears is the inconsistency of the registration account defined on the domain.
The fact is that, as stated, with someSince then, Microsoft has begun to transfer all accounts to the outlook.com domain, while ignoring old registrations like live.com and hotmail.com. As one of the easiest ways to fix the problem, you can use a regular record change with the addition of the old domain name outlook.com instead.
Again, the data after the change must be saved,then reboot the device. It is believed that all the updates available for mobile devices based on Windows are “sharpened” just under the registration data entered using a new domain name. It is argued that this is one of the surest ways to eliminate the problem.
In general, that in stationary versions, that inmobile systems, if they work stably even without installing updates, why should these updates be installed at all? After all, if you look into them, apart from additions to the security system or the connection of some new functions, which, by the way, few people use in practice, there is nothing particularly critical and important. And therefore, their installation can be waived altogether.
By the way, as one of the additional recommendationsYou can use the advice on disabling any anti-virus software by the way it is done during an update attempt on stationary systems. At least, the user can be sure that he will not pick up any virus when downloading packages from the official resource.
If nothing helps at all, and the error 80070020 appears again and again, despite all the operations, there is nothing left but to reset the settings to the factory settings.
In many ways, such a method mayseem barbaric, but nothing terrible about it. You just need to copy the necessary information to a removable drive or computer, and then use the Reset function. After performing this operation, for example, when connected to a stationary PC or laptop (if the same contacts are saved on the hard disk), it will not be difficult to get everything back to normal. And if there is still some kind of control utility, this generally turns out to be a completely elementary procedure.
You can use the operating environment itself.systems, and specialized programs, and even the simplest utilities like MyPhone Explorer, which in a matter of seconds allow you to copy the necessary data. True, the same contact list can be saved only in the format of office documents Word or Excel. To export from a phone and import contacts on a computer, so to speak, in a universal format like vCard, which can be recognized by any device, you will have to use more advanced clients. However, this is already a matter of technology and skills to apply the appropriate software.
By the way, judging by the user reviews,sometimes even after replacing the flash card, it may be necessary to reconfigure the date and time. This option looks somewhat inconvenient, but does not require a reset. But the reset can be used as an end-point, although, I think, even a change of the registration domain with the restart of the device will be able to give a tangible result. Moreover, it looks acceptable in terms of the fact that all the update packages are tied to precisely such records. It is not clear, however, why Microsoft decided to act in this way, but, as they say, we, ordinary people, do not decree them.
In general, the procedure for applying the abovemethods, we will consider, clear. As for difficulties, with all the desire to highlight something supernatural is not even possible, since any of the proposed methods is extremely simple.
