Iwill spare you the full list of ridiculous bugs and kafka-esque dread that one encounters in using almost any newer flip phone-- which is baffling considering they were faster and smoother with many of the same features in 2009 than they are now.

When I try to open the KaiOS store to look for more apps, it loads to 99% and simply never loads fully. I've already tried rebooting without sim and then with, as well as registering and signing into a KaiOS account with my email.


Looking for solutions that don't involve just getting a smartphone. Yes I'm aware that "this is what you get" for opting out of the hamster wheel of planned obscolescence. There's literally no good reason why a powerful basic phone w/out bugs doesn't exist in 2021.


I encountered the same problem. The solution I found is to use the web browser to access the KaiOS website, which has an app store section. If you click on one of these apps on the website, it will pull up a page with a button to take you to the KaiOS Store app. This should get you into the store itself, which you can then navigate normally.


Amen to that! The c*** we have to put up with that is supposed "progress" is disgusting, but its all designed to get us to become smart phone addicts with expensive phones and expensive plans like the rest of the mutton. By the way there's a great reddit sub just for us basic phone lovers, and its a lot more active than this forum here.


The Nokia Store enables owners of Nokia feature phones, such as the Asha series, and Symbian and Nokia X phones to download apps to their devices. Based on the last statistics released two years ago, the store was serving up to 15 million downloads daily.


Users will, however, still be able to get access to apps via a deal with Opera Software. Starting in the first quarter of 2015, users will be redirected to the Opera Mobile Store, which currently has close to 300,000 apps.


This isn't the first time that Opera and Microsoft have collaborated. In August, both companies struck a deal to use the Opera Mini browser as the default browser for Microsoft's feature and Asha handsets.

In a move which underlines the total phasing out of Nokia- branding and infrastructure - from its future mobile business, Microsoft has announced that the Opera Mobile Store will replace Nokia Store (once known as Ovi) in its Nokia feature phones, Symbian and Nokia X smartphones.


This means that starting in Q1 2015, millions of Nokia Series 40, Series 60, Symbian, Asha and Nokia X handset users in emerging countries like India will be automatically redirected to Opera's store.


Significantly the news follows on from the announcement from the infrastructure part of Nokia that Microsoft didn't buy that it's planning to release its own hardware in the shape of the Android-based N1 tablet in China in early 2015.

Ovi was first announced in 2007 and was a move into the world of Internet services and applications. It was initially available for internet-enabled Nokia feature phones and S60 smartphones, and also accessible via the web and on PC. Throughout its lifetime it faced strong competition particularly from Apple's App Store. As of January 2012, there were exactly 10 million downloads every day,[3] also 158 developers reached over 1 million downloads for their Applications.[4]


On 16 May 2011, Nokia announced the discontinuation of the Ovi brand and the services rebranded under the Nokia brand. The transition began in July 2011 and was completed by the end of 2012.[5] Most of the constituent services were subsequently either closed or integrated into Microsoft's own services after its acquisition of Nokia devices and services division in 2014.


Ovi was announced on 29 August 2007 at the Go Play event in London.[6] The public beta was released on 28 August 2008. Nokia has acquired key building blocks for Ovi over time. These include intellectual property (IP), patents and core components such as synchronization. Acquired IP, patents include companies such as Starfish Software, Intellisync, NAVTEQ, Gate5, Plazes and others. Other components have been developed internally. On 20 May 2009, at the Where 2.0 event in San Jose, California, US, Nokia announced the release of the Ovi Maps Player API, allowing web developers to embed Ovi Maps into a website using JavaScript.[2]


The Ovi Store was launched worldwide in May 2009.[7] Here, customers could download mobile games, applications, videos, images, and ringing tones to their Nokia devices. Some of the items were free of charge; others could be purchased using credit card or through operator billing in selected operators. The content in Ovi Store was sorted into the categories: Featured (previously Recommended), Games, Personalise, Applications, and Audio & Video. The Ovi Store replaced the older Nokia services Widsets, Download!, and MOSH.[8][9]


Ovi Store was intended to offer customers content that was compatible with their mobile devices and relevant to their tastes and locations. Customers could share recommendations with their friends, see what they are downloading, and let them see items of interest.[10]


For content publishers, Nokia offered a self-service tool to bring their content to the Ovi Store. Supported content types included: Java ME, Flash applications, widgets, ringtones, wallpapers, themes, and more for Nokia Series 40 and Symbian S60 devices and also Symbian^3. Nokia offered a 70% revenue share of gross sales, net of refunds and returns, less applicable taxes and, where applicable, fixed operator billing costs.[11] The daily number of downloads reached 10 million in August 2011.[3] There were 116,583 apps as of December 2011.[12]


It was renamed to Nokia Store in 2012. The Ovi Store also looked different on Symbian handsets to suit the new brand transformation - it was blue instead of green and the Ovi store was the third biggest mobile download site on the market (behind Apple's App Store and Google Play) in 2012. From 2014, developers were no longer able to publish new apps and app updates for the Symbian and MeeGo platforms to Nokia Store.[13] Microsoft officially stopped accepting new applications to the Nokia Publish service and new registrations to the Nokia Publish and Nokia Developer websites since 18 February 2015,[14] and officially retired the Nokia Developer site in March 2015 and encouraged developers to go to the MSDN and Windows Developer site to develop applications for Windows Phone and Windows.[15]


Ovi Suite allows Nokia mobile users to organize and share their photos and PIM data between their PC and their handset. It was the next generation of Nokia PC Suite and eventually Nokia Ovi Suite became the only computer application offered by Nokia. The commercial version of Nokia Ovi Suite was 3.3.86.[16] A Mac OS X-compatible version was announced in November 2008, and has been "expected soon" ever since.[17] Instead, Nokia phones can connect with Mac computers via Apple's iSync application.[18]


Ovi Contacts is the address book section of ovi.com and allows contact information to be viewed and modified. Nokia has announced on the Ovi website that web access to contact information will be discontinued on 25 January 2012. However, Nokia stated that Ovi Sync will function after this date, allowing Nokia Symbian phone users to continue to transfer phone contact data to and from Nokia data center servers. As a result of the discontinuation of web access to the contact data as well as their transition to Windows Phone 7 devices that synchronize data with Microsoft Hotmail, in late 2011 Nokia added the capability to download all Ovi Contacts information in CSV format for importation into another online contact provider. Nokia stated that this download capability will remain via URL contactsui.ovi.com even after web access to contact data has ended.[20]
