Qik.com certificate error - how to solve it

If you are trying to install Qik software (or any other software for that matter) on your Nokia mobile phone and are getting "Certificate error - contact application provider", there's an easy fix. Here's how to do it...

Go to Tools -> Settings -> Applications -> App Manager

Change the setting for Software Installation from 'Signed only' to 'All'. This should do the trick, but you can also change the setting for Online Certificate Check to 'Off' as an added measure. If you are looking for a great tool for Qik videos, be sure to check out WorldTV's integration with Qik which is very cool.

I have tested this on both the Nokia N95 and Nokia E51 and it works great. The Nokia E51 (with camera) is a good more economical substitute for the N95 incidentally if you want to use Qik's service.

More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video.
