Ovi App not working....???
 

The Ovi link that I have on my N900 desktop has all of a sudden stopped working properly....?????

I know the Ovi store had some kind of upgrade yesterday but as of last night, whenever I click on the link on my desktop, once it loads up, I get a webpage saying that the Ovi Store is not compatible with my handset...?!?!?!??

It plainly IS compatible because it used to work yesterday and now it doesn't...??!?!?

Why can't Nokia just leave things alone....?!?!?!?:confused::mad:

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

Because leaving things alone would = a crap ovi store that "works" but has nothing remotely useful or interesting or fun in it, and cant be published-to outside of a small group of "select" developers.
Why would you possibly want nokia to leave ovi alone like that, instead of fixing it to work properly with maemo to allow all developers to publish content do it, as theyre currently doing?

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

....well if they'de leave it alone - at least it would still work..!!! My Maemo.nokia.com link (on my N900) also refuses to open up now as well.......

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

what the hell could you want from the ovi store that they have to date? u should like ur dying for a paid wallpaper or movie trailler....

get a grip

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

....I don't want anything from the Ovi Store - the point is that its not working and I want things to work on my phone....!!!!

The Maemo link won't open either........?

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

since ovi is a website based and is not working in general it actually does not matter if its on ur phone or pc......

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

....well it kinda does - if it works on my pc (which it still does) it means I have to download stuff to my pc then connect my phone in order to put the apps onto my phone, whereas if it still worked on my handset (since yesterday - it has stopped) - I could download stuff straight to my phone!!!

Can other people test their links(if they have it) and see if theirs are working or not....?!!

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

i think other people are to stressed about ovi store been down to test anything. why cant u just wait for the store to come back online?

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

.....thats my point though!!!! It IS online on my pc but NOT working from my N900...????!

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

its working for me, buy a new n900 :)

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

Dear god, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or what?!
The store's not fully working because Nokia are in the process of improving it, so that when it does start working again, there'll actually be the possibility of having more than like 3 applications on your phone.
Give it a break, and wait for them to finish sorting it out, jesus.

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

The Ovi store tells me to update my N900?

Is that what it tells you? Or are my config files messed up and it still thinking I'm on the OLD f/w?

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

....it tells me that my N900 is not compatible with the Ovi Store!!!

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

Hmm it's not great to be pushing out that message. I literally got my N900 last night, clicked to visit the Ovi store and was told that my device isn't compatible. Now if I didn't know so much about the N900 and Ovi (ie the average user), I'd think "wow this is shite" and never try again.

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

it should say that on every ones till its back online
for the n900!

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

.....ok - thats all I wanted to know!!! If everyones is the same - then its obviously something to do with the update they are doing!

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

Does it say 'Upgrade your Nokia N900 to enter Ovi Store'??????

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

...no - just says my handset is not compatible and to go to Ovi.com to view compatible handsets!!! The ironic thing is, when I go to Ovi.com - the N900 IS listed as one of the compatible handsets...!!!!

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

On the basis of not being able to load up the page, have you tried manually to go into a web page and then create your own short cut, it could be your favourites list has gone nuts and a slight change is required. One you can make by going to it manually and recreating the shortcut from there.

Worth a try if you haven't already.

That suggest Nokia do useful things with the ovi store, they meddle and it is still crap. Surely you are not suggesting Nokia actually put up the housewives video's and expect them to be a selling point. And the same programs are always in the reccommended, the same two dozen programs are in the lists and very little has ever actually been added by Nokia.

My own personal favourite game at the moment, is to go on a PC, visit the ovi store, don't choose your phone and look at all the HUGE array of games and software, then staying in a category like games, and choose your phone. then watch the massive filtering process that cuts it down to what you can actually get.

Has me laughing / crying for oooh minutes. :D

Re: Ovi App not working....???
 

Which is exactly what's in the process of being changed. Until yesterday, the only N900 applications in the Ovi store were ones that were seeded there specifically by Nokia and their "chosen partners", with "normal" developers not being able to provide applications for Maemo.
As of yesterday's maintenance, that's changed and any developer can now publish Maemo software to the Ovi store, so it's now available for any apps/games/whatever that developers choose to publish to it.
