Ovi Store App login error

Yesterday was a strange day for me with my Nokia device. There’s not a single day till yesterday that I didn’t log in to Ovi Store to check if there are any new Apps. Came yesterday and all I saw when trying to open Ovi Store was this message of ‘Unable to connect to server’!

I had no clue why that was happening again and again and there was no helpful alternative to solve that error message. The only way to get out of there was to click options and then exit. Then while going out for some work, when I opened the Maps for Navigation and tried to sign it, I got an error message saying that my password was wrong. My Bulb glows.

Then I remembered that I changed my Ovi accounts’ password the other day and hence the Ovi store wasn’t able to sign in (if there was this message in the Ovi Store saying that the password was incorrect, it would have made my life much easier).

Still, there was no way to enter the Ovi store and change the password. The only option was to delete the Ovi store App from the phone (delete all instances of  like Ovi store, Ovi store client and Ovi store launcher).

If you have the latest firmware (V50), some older version of Ovi Store would be built in the OS. So, if you tried to open it after deleting it using the App manager, it would ask you to upgrade.

Do so, open the App, Sign in with the new password and you should be done without that ‘Unable to connect to server error’ (?)
