Asha 230: Shortcut for a contact on home screen.

Hi All,
I recently got this phone for my mother.
The phone is really good for its price but unfortunately it seems there is a no way I can add a directly dial shortcut on the home screen or an option to add contacts in "fastlane".
I found this option pretty useful on android phone especially for old people still trying to get acquainted with touch technology.
It would be really nice to have such an option to add direct dial contact either in "fastlane" or home screen.
If anybody is aware about such an option please do let me know or if there is an option to pass on this suggestion across to Nokia-Asha, please do let me know that too,
Thanks in advance
Regards
Satg

Go to Apps > Widgets, then slide over until you find the Contact widget. Press and hold, then place where you want it on your home screen, then let go. You'll then be taken to your contacts ... choose the one you want. You should now have that contact has a direct-dial on your home screen.

Favorite contacts on home screen of asha 202

Hello everyone..
I just bought a nokia asha 202.. My problem is that I can't preview my favorite contacts on my home screen even though I selected favorite contacts for the home screen short cut.. It only says 'waiting'.. I had waited for a week now and it stills says 'waiting'.. I tried to update its firmware but another problem arises.. I used the nokia suite 3.4.49, and I encountered an error at the last step.. I read a thread here about a problem regarding firmware update and I think we have the same issue.. After downloading the software (24mb/24mb), it states that i need to wait 3049 minutes to complete the download.. And after sometime, it will skip steps and states that an error occur..
Do i really need to make the update, or is there a way to resolve my issue regarding the home screen? Hope for a solution..

Hi genom219,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please completely uninstall Nokia Suite from your PC by following the instructions below.
Windows XP:
Click Start, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Scroll through the list of installed applications, then click Nokia PC Suite
Click the Add/Remove button.
Click the Uninstall button from the Nokia PC Suite window, then follow the on-screen instructions until the setup wizard has completed removed the program.
Restart your computer to complete the removal process.
Windows Vista / Windows 7:
Click Start, then click Control Panel.
Click Programs, then click Uninstall a program.
Select Nokia PC Suite from the list of installed programs, then click Uninstall/Change.
Confirm that you want to remove the Nokia PC Suite program from your PC.
Restart your computer to complete the removal process.
Once Nokia Suite has uninstalled, please reinstall via this link.
Now connect your phone with Nokia Suite and create a back up of your phone's data via Tools > Back up. Make sure not to tick the Setting box.
Now disconnect from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# into your phone and default security code 12345 (unless you've changed this code yourself).
Once the phone has rebooted, reconnect with Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where an update will be displayed. Updating the software should work after a reset and reinstalling Nokia Suite, if you're still having issues after performing the above, use Nokia Software updater instead. Now go to Tools > Restore in Nokia Suite to restore the back up you've made.
The phone should display your favourite contacts on the home screen now. Please get back to me if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

My iPad2 is showing duplicates of the icons for apps on my home screen (where the app store and other default apps reside)??? How do I get back to normal?

My iPad2 has suddenly begun displaying duplicates of the icons on my home screen all stacked atop one another in the upper left corner. What can I do to return to normal operation?

Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Contacts on Home Screen

Have recently started using I Phone (really impressed). I was previously using an LG Cookie, which had a really useful facility where you could have a quick dial direct to your favourite numbers from the home screen, these appeared as an app does. Really useful, does anyone know if this is available with the I phone? Or maybe in the future. Or does anyone know a shortcut to any favourite numbers without having to scroll through "favourites"??

The only way to do it right now is to use Favorites in the phone app.

Contact on home screen?

I seem to have seen or heard before that an icon can be created on Iphone's home screen where the icon represent one of your contact. So in a way, instead of going to the favorites, just simply tap the icon of one of your contact on the home screen and it will automatically dial that contact's number. It may be an application that need to be installed in the Iphone from Apps store but I'm not sure. So anybody has idea?

Go to Apps > Widgets, then slide over until you find the Contact widget. Press and hold, then place where you want it on your home screen, then let go. You'll then be taken to your contacts ... choose the one you want. You should now have that contact has a direct-dial on your home screen.

Shortcut for getting out of full screen

Is thee a shortcut to switch back and forth from full screen?

Command F turns it on and Command F turns it off.
It's Control-Command-F.
Command-F is for "Find."
Probably doesn't work in all apps though. Can add Word 2011 to the list though.

HT201263 iphone 4 will not turn on for anything. touching the home screen and lock screen still doesnt turn it on. what should i do

my iphone 4 was working fine yesterday and last night it just started cutting off and on by its self and now it doesnt want to come on at all. what should i do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Take it apart and verify that you reassembled it correctly. Next take it to someone with more experience.

Shutdown button doesn't work for sleeping from the home screen.

I'm using Mac Mini 2011, with Mavericks. Until Mountain Lion, when I pressed once the startup/shutdown button the machine sleeps. Now, with Mavericks, it doesn't work, we hear a beep instead. How to fix this problem?

Want to put in a shortcut for Facebook

I have a Verizon Wireless Prepaid Pantech Caper phone and I was wanting to know if and/or how I can add a shortcut for Facebook on my main screen....I already have Facebook on my favorites page as a link but I was hoping for a shortcut so I wouldn't have to navigate through several pages to get to it.....I have already tried this site but there is nothing compatible with my phone.

Hi
It should be possible, although you'll have to replace the existing optical drive, as the second bay can only accomodate 3.5" drives such as a zip drive.
Installation instructions, including a QuickTime movie, can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75314
Removing the old drive just involves unplugging the ribbon and power cable, undoing four screws to remove the drive and carrier from the computer and undoing a further four screws to remove the drive from the carrier. Installation of the new drive is basically the reverse process. You'll also just need to make sure the jumpers on the back of the new drive are set correctly to master.
You may want to make sure the drive is supported by the OS first though, with or without the help of PatchBurn:

Email Notification on Home Screen

Hi everyone, todays N97 problem appears to be as follows..........
After going through half a dozen email clients i finally went back to the default one installed in the phone and for the past 4 days i have been using it without any problems what so ever. Today though, after recieving a new email, i retrieved it from my inbox, read it and deleted it (phone memory) as i have done previous days. Todays problem seems to be that the new email notification on the home screen is still there after deleting the last new email. Even after i mark all the emails in my inbox and delete them and then re-connect to my inbox they appear again, this has only started to happen as of today.
Ive seen in other forum posts that this cant be de-activated? How can this be the case if i have been using the client for 4 days and im only having this problem now? Its a notification, so technically of course it can be removed or stopped.
Please please please help with this solution, the only one i can find at the moment is switching the handset on and off which isnt a solution what so ever.

exactly.. This was very unwelcome.. I undrstand the contact bar widget has limited space to put everythin we want.. But in shortcut bar home theme y did they remove email notification.. Tht was very unwise..
Moreover we should be able to choose what we'd need on the home screen.
Moreover the Contacts bar home screen widget takes an awful amount of RAM! Abt 5-6MB i guess.. Lets see what v60, as rumored, has to offer..

Is there any way to enable rSAP, use the iPhone as a modem, create sms folders, and show the day's calender on the home screen?

Hi folks
Had iPhone for a while and generally happy, but it seems I still need to keep my old nokia E72 because I cannot seem to use the iPhone as a modem, nor does it support rSAP.
Also, while I like the threaded sms view, I'd also like the option to create sms folders to stash away my banking sms info, all of which comes from different numbers, and filled the sms inbox with hundreds of messages.
Lastly, having the meeting for the day diplayed somewhere on the home screen would be great if there were a way to do it. Yes, I can go into calender easy enough, but unless I develop the habit of checking it all the time, I often forget about a meeting whereas on the old nokia, it was always displayed.
What gives with the lack of flash support? Maybe ol Steve dislikes adobe, but it seems like a serious lack to me. Even the old nokia has some flash support.
Given that, I must say I love the seperate calenders and contacts. It's great to be able to keep home contacts seperate from work ones, but still have them on the same phone. Email is great two - full html support seems like a given but it works really well.

rSAP has largely been supplanted by ABAP, which the iPhone supports. Most modern smartphones, including the iPhone do NOT store any information on the SIM.
SMS inboxes. Not much to say. I've never had a desire to do this. I understand it could be useful, but it's unlikely to change.
As for meetings on the home screen... Wait for iOS 5
Flash: it's not JUST that Steve doesn't like flash. Adobe has failed to produce a workable version of Flash for iOS. Blame has to go to both sides. I say good riddance to it.

How do I bring up my iCloud icon on home screen?

hype can I bring icon for iCloud to my home screen?

There isn't an iCloud icon, other than the one in Settings. That's because iCloud isn't an app, it's a service. It syncs data using the other apps on your iPad (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.). There is an app for Find My iPhone if that's what you mean.

How can I add an icon for a contact to the home screen?

New to iPhone and can't find a way to add a shortcut/icon for an individual contact to the home screen. I have looked in the user's guide and searched the web but no luck other than suggestions to download some type of app. This function has been available on two different Android phones I've used the past several years. Surely the iPhone has this capability???

That is not a standard feature on the iPhone. There are many features available on one and not the other.

That should be a sure fire reset method (one that has worked for me).
You can also try: *#7370#
That is a deep reset that should take you back to factory settings.
