Comments on: I’ll buy apps from developers, not the Ovi Store http://nokiaexperts.com/buy-apps-developers-ovi-store/ Everything Nokia, S60, and More Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:54:05 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Simon http://nokiaexperts.com/buy-apps-developers-ovi-store/comment-page-1/#comment-9956 Simon Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:57:50 +0000 http://nokiaexperts.com/?p=1434#comment-9956 <p>Ovi is also bad for developers: i am an app maker myself and i had to do with Nokia for quite some time now - Nokia DOES NOT care about the developers. If i publish an app on OVI store and a user posts a unqualified, absolutely wrong comment about the app, there is no way to discuss removal of posts - which really could destroy app reputation really quickly. Also, there is a problem that app comments get lost constantly (all the comments for an app are gone from one day to another) - no way to get it back. If you drop them an email they say "it will be fixed in the future". Oh there is sooo much arguments why Nokia & OVI sucks, i think this small box of text will not be sufficient to tell you. RIP Nokia & OVI</p> Ovi is also bad for developers: i am an app maker myself and i had to do with Nokia for quite some time now – Nokia DOES NOT care about the developers.

Personally, I can't buy any application from The Store, it keep saying that "we're experiencing payment problem" What the heck? I've complained to Nokia Care Center, I guess workers there really good at playing with words, they are asking me to wait until Nokia fixes this problem.</p> Nokia has disappointed its customers, customers had great hope for Ovi, but most of them are sad with that.

I recommend you contact the folks at DataViz directly to see if they can help since you do have a receipt for the transaction. They are helpful and hopefully can help out.</p> Sorry to hear about your experiences Raj.

First time, after I put in my credit card #, I got a message that there wass a problem with the payment and brought me back to the main screen.

I spent 45 minutes on the phone to get that corrected, and they asked me to try again. This time the transaction went through and I was charged $21.64 – but I got a receipt in the email and no activation key.

I have tried everything, including deleting the software on the phone, but the Ovi store says its downloaded and will not give me the option again.

Any thoughts?

After that i found <em>ALL</em> my other application in memory card is missing (except the ovistore and handwriting). i am confused. so i restart (shutdown and start up) the handphone. After i restart, i check that i lose all of my app and data like the memory card has been re-format. (and of course we cannot re-download) Those applications is **DESTROYING* my data! Please do some testing before publishing application which may destroy customer data.</p> I install ovistore and Nokia Handwriting Calculator on my 5800.

I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and it constantly comes up with the same error. Luckily it hasnt ruined my phone. I just have to look a little harder for some apps.</p> I enjoyed using the ovi store at first. until recently, it came up with a starting error.
