Ovi Store 2.6.0 Broken on 6350. Fix or workaround...

I've been using the Ovi Store app on my 6350. Recently, it told me that I had to upgrade to 2.6.0. I did. Now, it will not start. I tried deleting and re-installing. Tried telling it not to keep my old data. Nothing works.
Get's as far as "loading" and then closes.

_o/ Same here with N8. Haven't been able to start ovi store application for a few weeks now.
For a few seconds it looks like its starting but then it just disappear.

Posting Ovi Store Reviews = Nokia Account TERMINAT...

Here's the short version of my story, which is directly summarized in the subject above (and yes, my account is being terminated against my will).
1. create nokia account, use it to sign in to Ovi Store
2. post reviews for applications
3. have at least 6 of your reviews flagged with the "report issue" link
4. recieve notification that your account is terminated.
Q: "Why did you post so many reviews that were flagged using 'report issue'"?
A: My reviews were non-abusive. One such 'removed' review simply stated that 'Compass Touch' was a nice application and 'did what it said on the tin'.
Q: "Why not alert Nokia that reviews were being removed unjustly early in the process and avoid this final terminal fate"?
A: I tried. review removal notifications are sent via email, from the address [email protected]. Replying to this address resulted in email delivery failure notices: the account is dead and undeliverable.
Q: "So why not contact Nokia Customer Care directly"?
A: I did. After a multitude of emails I gave up: they are idiots. I never got them to understand that my issue was with REVIEWS being removed rather than APPLICATIONS being removed. The email chain has some of the most expressive and distressed language I have ever written.
Q: "Wait, so the account is closed. What does that mean"?
A: It means that I cannot buy more apps from the Ovi Store. In 3 months I spent $75 at the Ovi Store and now that revenue stream is cut off by Nokia themselves. All applications I have purchased are now irreversibly detached from association with any Nokia Account and I cannot re-register for an account with my username OR my email address for 6 months.
Q: "Big deal, 6 months, so what"?
A: Well, it is a big deal. Now I will almost certainly not buy anything ever again directly from the Ovi Store (loss of revenues to Nokia). If I do, I certainly won't post reviews of any apps (loss of quality control and PR for Nokia). Also note that I am developing 3 applications for S60v5 at the moment - and I am seriously finding it difficult to see a future for these applications on the Ovi Store.
Q: "Who cares if you don't post reviews anymore, your reviews were abusive"
A: No, they weren't. I can't stress that enough. My reviews were far from abusive and most of the reviews that were flagged were short, accurate and POSITIVE reviews. Moreover, as a user I was PENALIZED for posting MEANINGFUL REVIEWS. We've all seen the gobs and gobs of **bleep** reviews on the Ovi Store, right? The poor language, the obvious and crude Nokia bashing, the iPhone fanboy posts? If legitimate users with meaningful things to say are penalized for posting proper reviews, all we will have left are those **bleep** reviews that never belonged there in the first place.
Q: "Wait, what apps are you developing anyway"?
A: They aren't ready for public consumption, but will be released under the GPL when I am done. 'Bibliotouch' will be a free ebook reader with automatic bookmarking and social reviews that ties into the Gutenburg Project for free Public Domain books. 'NighPhone WebApps' will be an 'appstore' of sorts, providing an interface to search, test, and install widgets to launch iPhone WebApps on your Nokia device - complete with social reviews and 2 levels of installations (local bookmarks and local widget generation/installation). Finally 'NagNagNag' will be a Location Based Service that watches where you spend your time and allows for location based time budgeting, allowing you to setup alarms such as [nag me if i work more than 50 hours a week] or [nag me if i don't visit family at least once a season].
Q: "Hey those are good ideas for apps, can I steal the ideas and make them myself"?
A: Sure. Go for it. I'm still gonna write them myself too, and release them as open source projects, so do whatever you want to. Just be forewarned that Ovi Store might be a horrible horrible horrible place to distribute them.

While I do feel bad for the author, after reading the initial post one big question stuck out in my mind: "Why on earth are you paying money to the Ovi Store?"
The store has been around for months, and there have been literally HUNDREDS of posts across the internet about people losing money. In addition, the customer service is abysmal and lawsuit-worthy,
[...snip...]
Again, while I do feel that you were booted out unfairly, bitflung you should look at this as an opportunity. At least you got out after only being $75 in the hole.
The Ovi store is like a Casino. The house always wins, and the customer should go in expecting to lose everything they went in with.

fair enough. of course, if the store would ever be anything other than a money trap it would require early adopters. that's me. i still drive the first hybrid available in the USA (predates the prius, btw - Honda Insight). still own an original N95-1 (though i will sell it once my N97 gets voip support). etc etc etc.
I guess what i'm saying is, though lots of people have had issues i was still game for using the ovi store. if i had an issue with purchasing a single app and ended up loosing $1.99, i'd be aggravated. instead, i'm blown away: my whole account has been terminated. that's a whole different breed of broken. as an early adopter, this is the first time i feel truly stung by the flaws of a service provider. even my N95-1, with all of its problems, remains as functional today as it was last year. ovi store? not so much. it's like having my N95-1 suddenly disappear, or better yet like the N95-1 suddenly started rejecting my SIM card saying, "all those calls to your family look like prank calls to me, so i've terminated your mobile contract with AT&T".
anyway - surly i won't be spending any money at the ovi store again for quite some time (seems i can't even create a new account now because my mobile # is attached to the terminated account still).

Cloud based storage for Ovi Store?

I just read about the Ovi Store keeping purchases for only 12 months? Seems unbelievable that it
would be that way. How about Nokia giving us Nokia users a minimum of 2GB of cloud storage so that the purchases can be backed up to and restored when necessary. At this point I can only back it up locally into my hard disk as a .nbu file.
The Ovi Store stopped allowing me to send a app (download to PC is broken) to my hard disk for later install. What options do we Nokia users have at this point?

Google drive. However dont consider vital data or archives for use IN cloud based storage.
There is no such thing as a "cloud" reductively, its just anonymous server farms.
Cloud based storage
Drawbacks:
1. Cloud storage can only be quasi-possessed.
2. No genuine true security and privacy of data.
3. Should never be considered for vital data storage or especially long-term.
4. *Level-0 security of your vital data.
Advantages:
1. Quick, easy and cheap storage location for simplex files for transfer to keep on hand and yet off the computer.
2. Easy source for small-file data sharing.

Ovi Store and Nokia Accounts unresponsive on my 80...

I sent my 808 in for service and requested a wipe to factory defaults due to some issues that I was having. When my phone was returned to me, I had great difficulty loging in to Nokia Account and Ovi Store Mobile. There is a round wheel that would just keep spinning when the respective apps were launched and eventually fail.
There was also a odc.nokia.com error which claims to be expiring in 3 months (May 2014).
I have returned my 808 back to Nokia Care. I hope the issues can be rectified.

I visited https://odc.nokia.com. The security certificate expires on 7/5/2014 (7 May 2014).

Can not install Ovi Store Nokia 603

Download this CWRT file to microSD card. Turn phone off insert in phone turn on. Then browse to CWRT file run. Then open up web browser go download ovi store file install. All fixed.

Make sure to install CWRT file in C:\ when prompt. This will not get lost when phone get reset.

Ovi Store Application NOT WORKING

I've been experiencing this problem for a while already. Probably like many other users, I could not access Ovi store via its application. Everytime I open it, there's a error script saying " Application Initialisation Failed"
I'm using Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
If anyone already know how to fix it, please kindly let me know......It's been very annoying.
Thanks

I have exactly the same issue. Ovi store worked perfectly until i installed the latest version a few days ago. i've tried removing it from my phone and re-installing and this has had no effect i still get the same message 'application initialisation failed'
I am also using a nokia 5800xm.
if i find something out from a different source i will inform you of my findings.

Got double charged in ovi store and no download

I wanted to buy a game, entered my credit card info, and got through the confirmation page only to receive the error:
Card error
Card errors encountered. please try again later or change payment method on the next screen.
This problem wouldn't be so bad except I checked my credit card, and I got charged TWICE even though there was an "error"! The transactions are from Bibit Global Payment Services. Because the transaction supposedly didn't go through in the ovi store, I can't even download the game. I would like a refund for the charges. I've already sent a support request through the contact us page.

@darkmage136 Apparently you can call Nokia-care and ask for a refund.

5800 Problem with Ovi Store and Facebook - HELP PL...

I have had my 5800 for about 4 weeks now and had a great time using Facebook and downloading stuff from the Ovi Store when suddenly my problem appeared. When I try and log on to the Ovi Store it says at the bottom "you are logged in as Purpledwarfy but when I try to move onto another page I get an error saying "sign in failed, check your user name and password" I know that my username and password are correct because they work on all the other PCs I have tried it on. I have also tried to change my password and it hasn't made a difference.
On Facebook I log in using the same details that get me access on a PC and it looks like it is going to load my page but just goes straight back to the login page.
Has anyone else had the same problem and have you been able to fix it??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, I got it fixed in the end. I found the nearest Nokia Service Centre Experts who ended up being Carphone Warehouse. I handed them my phone and went back to get it a couple of hours later and it was fixed. All they did was wipe the phone, after saving my contacts etc onto the memory card, and then rebuilt it. Working great now

Cannot Sign into Ovi Store and cannot create email...

Hey all,
I have just recently got my N8 back from Nokia. I sent it back due to numerous problems...battery life was less than 16hrs, kept saving sent messages, wouldn't update emails instantly and kept getting mail that was 4 days old, etc...
But now everytime I try and log into Ovi Store it tells me "Cannot connect to Server" or similar.
Also having problems trying to set up my Yahoo and Gmail email accounts... keeps telling me that "mail server is unavailable"...
Anybody else having these problems? Any solutions??
Cheers

Problem updating ovi store and downloading whatsap...

When i try to open ovi store on my x2-01 it tells me to update it before i would be able to download it and when i try it always tells me page not found.my other problem is when i try to download any software e.g whatsapp application using my phone it tells page not found i have restore it factory setting but am still having the same problem please what should i do because i really love to use other softwares e.g whatsapp

Unfortunately that is one of the outstanding issues with the current firmware in the N8, E7 and C7. The hard reset does not reinstall Qt which is required for the apps you mentions. See this.
/t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/N8-Maps-problem-after-hard-reset/td-p/783327
Although it is possible to reinstall Qt, the process is highly complicated and should only be atempted by expert users. My suggestion would be to either get your phone reflashed at your local Nokia Care Point or to wait for the next firmware up[date which will hopefully include a fix for this.

N8 Ovi Store and Social Application not working

Hi Everyone,
I am having issues with my Ovi store app and my Ovi Social app on my N8.
I have finally managed to get into twitter through Ovi social, but when I try to access facebook i get the following message "Unknown problem. Please try again later"
When I try to get into the Ovi store I get the following message "Ovi store currently unavailable. Try again later"
Is anyone else facing the same issues or is it just my phone? I'm trying to narrow down the issue and see if it is a specific issue with my phone or something more general that others are experiencing.
Thanks in advance
Salsabug

I am able to login to facebook and twitter using the Socially app on my E71 phone, but the Linked in login button gives me an error message and does not prompt the login page for Linkedin as it is suppost to(incorrect web login address obviously), with no workaround to login and then save that for use via the socially site.
Additionally, I set up an account with foursquare, but if I login via the socially site, the sofware closes down, and will not open back up when prompted to do so.
Are there any fixes for the socially site to remedy the issues with using linked in at least for access via the socially software?
My email is: [email protected] if there is resolution for this application.

E71x ovi store and apps trouble

on my e71x i am unable to access the ovi store or apps. when i open the link that had been sent to my phone for the app, it tells me i need to download the ovi store mobile app. This has been done several times but then there is no way to open this app. Is there any other way for me to access these apps or the store? if so please give detailed instructions

I was having the same problem. I would download and install the Ovi store app and after it installed, I couldn't find it on my phone.
I found a work-around on the AT&T support site.
1. If you already downloaded Ovi Store from their website on your Nokia E71x you should uninstall it. To do so go to--menu--settings--App.mgr.--Installed apps.--highlight Ovi Store--click options--Uninstall.
2. On your PC go to this site.
http://beta.www.getjar.com/mobile/30928/ovi-store- by-nokia-for-nokia-e71/?c=704x22186624
3. You should see a small window asking what phone you have. If not, try clicking the tab that says "compatible phones". You are going to notice that the Nokia E71x is not one of the phones listed so just go with the Nokia E71.
4. Click the orange "download app" tab on the right side of the page. A window will come up with instructions to download. Follow the instructions to download to phone. There will be a code that you need to write down.
5. Using your phone go to menu--media net--options(bot left)--go to web address--put in this address exactly http://m.getjar.com
6. Once you get to that web address, scroll down until you see the words "Quick download code" and click on that. It will then ask you for that code from step 4. Enter the code and click download. Shouldn't take long at all to download and install. When I was done, I switched off my phone and restarted it.
7. Once complete with the reboot, there will be an Ovi Store icon/app(a blue bag) under menu--Games&Apps.
Just remember you will need to register an account with them.

Issues with Ovi store in Nokia N8 and the OS is ha...

Hi,
I have taken Nokia N8 in the month of March. It was all working fine and all of sudden I am noticing that the Ovi store is not opening tried resetting to factory settings, It did not help. Tried reinstalling the Ovi It also did not help. I went to Nokia Care and they said that they need to upgrade the software, They did but after that also the Ovi store is not opening they were also not able to install the ovi. they said that they need to check and if they cant then they need to send it to Delhi, I asked them for a Back up phone but they say that they cant give. what is this we take a Branded mobile paying such huge amount and when we have to give it service they say it will take a week to 10 days and for a time untill they confirm when they would give the mobile they cant provide a back up phone. Its really bad on Nokia. Its damaging the reputation of Nokia. Can this be looked into. Well I went to nokia care expecting a good hospitality but I felt like I went an Open market where if you want leave it else please keep moving....
