A reader pointed out the inconsistency between the Nokia E61 and the Nokia E62 in regards to solving the issue of “Certificate Error” when installing applications and themes. Since the “Certificate Error” is the most commonly asked question I thought I should highlight this again, for the benefit of our new readers whom I suspect are Nokia E62 users.
If you have ever tried to install an application or a theme but instead been greeted by the above “Certificate error. Contact the application supplier” message, this is how you solve the problem.Go to “Settings” > “App. mgr.” (scroll down to find it)
Select “Option” > “Configuration”.
Changed “Software installation” from “Signed only” to “All”.
That’s it! Now when you try to install the application or the theme you will not see the “Certificate Error” message anymore. If you would like to read more about this I can recommend this great post by Antony Pranata.

If you are using a Nokia E61 please refer to my previous post about how to solve the “Certificate Error” issue.

Hi Admin,
Do you have any software and step by step guide that can generate the self sign certificate to avoid certificate expiry error message.

Just bought E62. Gmail incoming works ok but when I am doing outgoing, it’s giving me an error msg “this site has sent an untrusted certificate. continue anyway?” - I pressed “continue” then it shows “connecting” And then it asks for mailbox user name and password. I used username@gmail.com and password but keeps on coming back. Please help.
When I go to download the certificate (https://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/certificates/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority_DER.cer), it doesn’t prompt to download. It just shows the encrypted text in the browser. Can you tell me how to download this certificate?
Thanks

I own the E62, and I’m attempting to install some of the E62 themes. So far I have had no success. I have switched the settings in the App Manager to “All” and “Off”. When I try to install the apps my phone reads “Certificate Expired”, and when I adjust the date back to 2005 it reads “Certificate may not yet be valid, is expired, or phone’s date setting may be incorrect”. Are there any themes out there that are not expired, or compatible with the E62?? Help please..
Worked for me. Thanks!
You can’t install j2me apps on s60v3 without a proper certificate, and you cant install your own root certificate which is trusted for j2me apps, so you’ll get a ‘certificate error’. I’m starting an organisation for hobby developers which will allow people to share a certificate, see my website for more info.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am having a Nokia E 90 Communicator. Recently I am having a problem with my phone to download some applications on my phone. I did not have this problem before.
Once I downloaded an application i.e. ” MIDlet Restorer ” from Nokia Genaral Applications web page. I let this application run on my phone
( Nokia E 90 ) and suddenly there were some important applications installed on my phone before they were disappeared. I do not why.
Now whenever I try to download back those applications again from the same web page ofcourse with USB cable they can not be downloaded again on my phone.
At first my Nokia E 90 tries to donload the applications dowload bar goes on , but at the end phone stops downloading the application and one message appears says ” UNABLE TO INSTALL “.
I really need those disappeared applications for my work.
I set my phone from App. Manager : Software Installation : ” All ”
And
Online Certificate check : ” Off ”
But it still does not work.
Recently I have had installed on my Nokia E 90 phone software version
300.34.84 , but I still have the same problem to download some applicatins like before. A message appears ” Unable to install “.
Please let me know how I can solve this problem.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem than please email me.
