If you are experiencing issues with App Catalogg (yes catalogg with 2 gs) the below may help.
The below issues were with a Verizon Pre 3, but I expect they would also affect any Pre, Pixi, or Veer that has a Sim card -- also known as WR (World Ready) or ROW (Rest Of World) devices.
The below should not happen with any thing made for Sprint as they don't have sim cards.
(I found this all out because I activated my Pre 3 on a Verizon 250 Min/250 text/10MB data plan. I didn't want to go over the 10MB so I hit airplane mode as soon as it would let me and turned on wifi)
The App Catalog uses some info from the sim during the setup/installation -- probably has something to do with App Catalog selection and availability based on country.
Here are the symptoms: Phone Activates, and after signing in to your hp(palm) profile, it downloads info on what apps you had downloaded from the App Catalog, so it can pull them back down for you. It may even download many of your applications before it figures out the whole cert expired thing. Following the instructions above will get you to a point where the App Catalog shows a yellow triangle with ! inside, and trying to open the App Catalog will result in opening Software Manager, or a blank card and then a web page that trys to go to index.html and goes no where. Additionally if you do manage to get the App Catalog Update to download, and try to run it, the App Catalog will change its name to App Catalogg and you will still have Both App Catalogg and App Catalog Update with yellow triangle with ! inside.
In my case I found it was because I had the phone on airplane mode, and the phone data radio was off, therefore the access to the sim card was not possible.
The solution I found was to turn airplane mode off, make sure wifi was connected and then try to reinstall the App Catalog Updater now available in Software Manager (which launches when you try to open any app that has the yellow triangle !).
To prevent data usage on the cellular network in my case (since I'm around wifi most of the time) I went into the Phone app, click on the carrier name in the upper left and go to preferences and accounts and scroll down to Network section -- turn Data Usage off. This ment that the sim was still available when I installed additional software, but it wouldn't accidentally use cell data -- only wifi. NOTE: this is not required if you are on a more expensive data plan -- but just what I did so that I could assure I was using wifi only (which is faster than 3g most of the time anyway) and still be able to satisfy the App Catalog need for seeing that sim card when installing things.
