Hi,

I bought the phone yesterday in Dubai. Setup my Microsoft Account. Everything works fine except for the three apps which come installed:

1) Smartshoot
2) Cinemagraph
3) Nokia Drive

When I select their tile it takes me to the store, where I see the following message:
This app is not available for your device. Tap here for more info.
In more Info, I see the following:
App not available:
This might be because your phone software needs to be updated, the app is exclusive to a different mobile provided, or the app is not available in your country / region.

I have no clue why this might be happening. I am thinking of resetting the phone, but if I reset it, will I lose all the customization, etc? Thanks in advance for any tip.

Try this: open your Xbox, go to settings and switch everything "on", then exit settings and hit "refresh" in the Xbox app.

Then try the store again.

Also; it could be that it takes a while for the phone to register, could be they show up within the next 72 hours for some reason.

Alternatively, try to change the phone language to something else and see if that solves it. I had this issue after a hard reset (Nokia apps showed when my phone was set to Norwegian system language, but not with English system language).
Unfortunately, I never resolved it myself as my phone was shipped for replacement before I had a chance to fix it.

Please let us know how this goes.

Can you change the location of your phone to somewhere in Europe or the US and then try it?

I have the same problem. I am not able to download any of those apps, plus, no apps from the Nokia collection such as ESPN and Bloomberg. I have had my phone for 1 week now and before I have resetted it a few times and had no problems, but this problem came after I resetted since yesterday. I resetted it again, and still the same problem. I think the apps have been pulled for other regions so I'm just going to wait.

Thanks a lot for the tips. Xbox app did not help but changing the language fixed the issue. I had region set as UAE and the language as English. I set the language to Arabic and could download the three apps and then switched back to English. Now the apps work fine. Thanks again.

Yeah, but that is bull**** according to WinPhoneSupport on Twitter.. https://twitter.com/WinPhoneSupport/...88324348399618 . There is another thread on this here ..

The only thing that tweet says it that they have no information on the time said fix will become available.

Support isnt all-knowing, ive worked for companies whose HIGHLY TRAINED support actually had flawed information constantly, and gave customers flat out wrong info. That happens.

I love the cinematography App too

Thanks. I think that's the main issue. I set the region to US, and the language to English US and I can now see all the Nokia apps, including Photobeamer etc. Panorama was also missing, which I installed now from the store.

If I were to ask Nokia support when the issue with daylight picture softness will be fixed, I can assure you they will say almost the same thing... Because they don't know, doesn't mean it wont happen.

yes, set the region to UK and language to English then it should work. Same for region ad USA and language as English US. Search for cinemagraph and then look for all the apps by Nokia.
