Error code in Windows Phone Store? Worth to know....

I'm sure that,every Windows Phone (WP) users must faced an error while downloading/updating the app through Windows Phone Store at least once (For someone who lucky enough for never facing that, I have the sample screenshot for you).

What is these error codes? What is the meaning of those strange characters?
From what I read and experienced, those error code are varied, it's depends on the situations and symptoms. But the point is, those code will imply us about, the error you just facing here, does it happens because of your phone went wrong? Or it because of the error on Microsoft Windows Phone Store server?

The latest outage of WP Store error happened on January 15th, 2013, the main cause of that outage is the Purchasing & Billing server of Windows Store was down on that period and the outage remained for several hours before MS can fixed it. But, on that period, some people I know, tried their best to fix this themselves, some of them try to delete the app and re-install it, some tried reboot the phone and some... tried "Hard reset" their phone (Oh! Boy). None of that worked anyway......

So, I think better we knew, what happen when we got the error message? What should be the next/best approach for that kind of error? Then, we can manage to live with our phone properly. These are the error code I faced, read and search from several sources, hope it will be helpful.

  7. Individuals are fuming and whining on the grounds that there is no Android adaptation of this. Interesting, since a year prior there were no advanced items! Genuinely, individuals, you wouldn't even be talking about codices on Android, in light of the fact that that might never have struck generally gamers.iPhone app builder // iphone applications // Android application development
