N950 developer-mode fails to download

[NokiaInTheSky]

What is you exact problem? Can you describe some more?

I get the same error message:

"Download failed
developer-mode
Can't complete the download.
Connection do the application provider was lost. Try again later."

I have try with another wifi connexion: no problem, the download is ok.
But at home, I can't enable the developper mode.
My home adsl routeur has no firewall rules enabled. It does only NAting.

Same for me, I'm not aware of any firewall rules in my DSL box where it doesn't work. And on top of that, apt-get uses http to get these .deb packages, right? Since web browsing works fine, how could getting a .deb not work? Puzzling...

Note that proxies (even transparent ones) can play into the picture. The debs are fetched via HTTPS so depending on what the proxy does, it can break the SSL validity.

I had also this issue with my N9 - cannot download the developer-mode package.

However, I had also N950 that was working with developer mode just fine with exactly wifi etc.. After looking help for the issue I noticed that there is
one setting that you will need to enable first. --> Settings -> Applications -> Installations -> Allow installations from non-Store sources.
After that enabling developer mode was successful.

(I would have expected that enabling dev mode would have set that other setting too... and that error message would perhaps said not-allowed or something else than cannot download.)

Most common cause of failure to install developer mode on Harmattan is the device time to be 'too old' (not set from factory default). Fix is to update device time to be somewhat close to real calendar time.

Second most common problem is poor WiFi connectivity and their proxies.

Hello,

I think that the problem is with the DNS IP address: if I enter manually the DNS IP address for my WiFi connection, I have no more problem.
(Parameters => internet connection => Edit networks => <MyWiFi> => Auto-retrieve DNS address)

It seems that it's an old know problem from the N900
