Contact Groups On Home Screen

Hi
Is there a way to put a Contact Group on the Home screen instead of the individual contacts?
Regards
Pete

The Xperia homescreen doesn't give an option to add a shortcut to a Contacts group. Then only way is to add each contact in the group manually to home screen and then put them all in a folder, which would be tedious. You could try a different home screen launcher or a different Contacts manager app that might support such shortcuts.

  • 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.

  • Empty favorite contacts on my home screen, N97 min...

    Hello,
    I am trying to add my favorite contacts to the home screen of my brand new Nokia N97 mini.
    When I add the "favorite contact" from the content list, an empty (light black color) bar appears on my homescreen while I would have expected to have the contact names/pictures as  have 5 contacts marked as favorites.
    Moreover, when I click on this bar, nothing happens, it looks lie the 4 spots are empty!
    I have tried many other approaches (delete all favorite contacts, keep only one favorite, add new contact and set it as favorite) but it never worked!
    For your info, in the content list I have "favorite contacts" and also "favorite contacts II". Is this due to the fact that I have 5 favorite contacts?
    Could someone please help me?

    Hi, restoring the backup, could have caused your problem, try a soft reset and JUST restore your contacts and calender, NOT settings ( the settings from previous software could cause conflict/problems, better to set up phone again manually )
    Good Luck

  • I want a contact icon on home screen

    Just got my first iPhone, model 5.  Would like to have a Contacts icon displayed on the home screen so I can get there with one touch.  I realize I can get to contacts through the phone icon but would prefer to have a straight shot to Contacts. Thanks!

    You can also try going to the search screen and typing in contacts. If it is in a folder, it will display the name of the folder on the right side, as in this example. The folder name is circled in red.

  • Contacts bar on home screen X6

    Hello,
    I have changed the home menu today just messing about with my phone. When I went to put the home menu back to contacts bar it just goes back to basic (but with no tick to show it is selected). If I highlight contact bar in the menu then select options then set it says (no data). Any ideas. I just downloaded the last software last week and wonder if it is a bug.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Take out battery for some time like 10 minutes, put it back in, turn on, and try to set it to "Contacts bar". (Sorry if you did this already)
    OTHERWISE;
    Backup your data manually, and reinstall latest firmware.
    OR
    Dial this code *#7370# enter your lock code, default is 12345. it'll wipe c/phone memory so consider BACKUP FIRST without settings.

  • Home screen individual contact

    Is there any way I can put an individual contact on my home screen?

    you could send feed back to apple requesting this as a feature
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    if you could get a safari bookmark, save book mark to home screen "tel:+1-800-275-2273" you could use that to call the apple store. But I haven't figured out a way to set this as a home screen icon.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Speed Dial on Home Screen

    This is a question/suggestion I think. I don't believe there is any current way to put contacts on the home screen as a speed dial button, if I am wrong, please correct me with instructions on how to do so. If I am right, however, I think a nice feature Apple should consider in putting in a future software update for iPhone would be to make contacts available as speed dial buttons on the home screen.

    Follow these instructions to put a custom icon on the home screen. It's not speed dial exactly, but it's fun.
    1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
    2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
    3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want). You must enter the http:// - it won't work otherwise.
    4. In "icon file", click the arrow to browse to the photo or image on your computer that you want the icon to display.
    5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
    6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
    7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
    If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
    So I now have an icon with a picture of my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

  • Work network causing me to not be able to get to the home screen or access any icons besides mail, calendar, contacts or internet

    I got a new phone that worked fine. It was then put on the Blackberry server and then my IT group added my work email. As soon as that happened, I am not able to advance back to the home screen that has all the icons. I can only get to the screen that has the mail, text, contacts, calendar and internet icons. I should be able to go back one more screen but it wont. I went back to Sprint and they thought it was something wrong with the phone so they exchanged it. I then went back to my IT group who went through the steps to add my work e-mail and the same thing happened. I just haven't had a chance to go back to Sprint to let them fix. I had my work IT look at it and they couldn't figure it out but said that has been a common problem with these? Is that true? How can I get fixed?

    Hello RussellTA.  I udnerstand you're unable to print from IE 9 and IE 10.
    Those errors seem to be referring to some Java or Javascript files (those with the extension of *.JS).  So a good place to begin would be to update Java.
    Here is a link to the latest version of Java.
    Let me know the result.  I'll keep an eye out for your response.

    Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
    1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. 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.
    3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

    How can I get rid of that irritating contact/favorites across the top of the home screen?

    Actually, that's not on the Home screen, it is on the multitasking or App Switcher view so only shows up when you enter that mode (so I'm not to clear as to why it is so "irritating", but whatever).
    Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > scroll down to CONTACTS section] > Show in App Switcher
