About error messages during the installation and signatures for applications

I have the error message : "Expired certificate", why ?

Your application is old, you have to change the phone's date.
  • Before the installation : change the phone's date to an older one in 2007 or in 2008.
  • Install the application
  • Replace the current date
  • Use the application!
  • If the same message appears, try another date.

I've got the error message "Certificate error, please contact the application's supplier", why ?

Maybe your application must be signed. Your mobile doesn't have sufficient rights to install the application.
  • First step : check the parameters of your phone :
    • Go in the applications-management system
    • Click on Options, then on parameters
    • Choose "All" for "Softwares installation"
    • o Try to install, if you still have the error, go to the second step.
  • Step two : you have to sign your application before the installation. The signing process is a Symbian checking which proves that your application is not dangerous for your phone. Applications developers can ask for a signature, and then, their applications can to be installed on all mobile phones. For you, users, you can sign your application for only ONE phone (yours).
    • o It is possible to sign an application for your phone, by yourself, with Open Signed. Go here to submit your file and test. This method doesn't work with all the applications.
    • o Otherwise, this is rather difficult, you can try to get a certificate to sign your application (only for your phone). You can also hack your mobile phone, to install all unsigned applications (this can be dangerous for your phone, and it makes you lose your guarantee).
