Nokia 5230 v40.0.003 - Contacts Bar Missing

Hi there, thanks for reading.
I have a problem with my Nokia 5230. I've had my phone about 9 months, and I've been very happy with it. Today I finally got round to installing the v40.0.003 firmware update.
All went well except...
Ovi Maps not updating (which I can live with)
The contact bar disappearing from the home screen (which I can't)
Searching the net found a few people with the same problem, but no solutions. I've seen mention of the appearance of the contact bar 'changing' but no definition of what this change actually is.
Here's what I've tried so far:
I checked the home-screen settings, it's still on the contacts bar theme and contacts bar is checked on the relevant screen.
I've tried changing to another theme and back, both with and without restarting the phone.
I've tried reinstalling the new firmware.
I've tried a soft reset
I've tried a hard reset
I've even tried a hard reset without the sd card followed by a re-flash.
I restored the full backup from before the update, which put most things back the way they were before the resets, but the contacts bar is still missing.
It's a feature of the phone I use a lot so I'm not happy about losing it.
If anyone can offer suggestions as to what I might have missed, I'd appreciate it. Just hope I'm not S.O.L until the next firmware update. (If it's relevant, I'm on Orange PAYG, and have access to my Fiancé's 5230 which is still on 20.0.005)
Thanks

Yes, the Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen theme is set to contacts bar
in Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen both contacts bar and shortcuts boxes are checked.
Prior to v40 I had a total of 5 contacts stored on the contacts bar and have been using it ever since i got the phone last year.
I wish it was as simple as needing to turn it on, but I did undertake basic troubleshooting (and more) before starting this thread as my first post shows.
I'm not the only one with this problem on orange either (x6 but same symptom)

Orange include their own fugly homescreen theme in their custom firmware so probably don't care if they break the other ones.
My Fiancé has a 5230 as well, she doesn't use the contact bar (so wouldn't care if it went AWOL) so I might upgrade her firmware as well to see if the same thing happens.

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!

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.

Hi dwarf2008,
First of all you need to subscribe to a web feed. Contact bar web feeds can be found from contacts in the contact bar. Select a Contact > Web feeds. If you don't have web feeds yet, select Options > New feed > Give the necessary info > Options > Save.
Hope this cleared the matter but please ask if you have more questions.

How do I get rid of the contact bar on my FaceTime screen

How do I get rid of the contact bar off my FaceTime screen. I went to add a contact and the bar comes up. Now I can't figure out how to get it off my screen. I am tapping everywhere.

I just exit (completely) by tapping on the Home button. Of course, you can also add a contact from within Face Time by clicking on the plus sign.
Do you see any occasion where you need to view the entire screen other than during a call?

Nokia X6 and contacts bar re visited?

Has anyone had any issues with the latest updates for the X6 16GB? A previous update V30 I think had the contacts bar disappearing. I was wondering if this was happening with the latest update.
Any feed back would be most welcome. I had to get a new phone last time!
Thanks all.

Change Background color of contacts bar

Does anyone know how to change the bg color on the contacts bar? On the nokia site for the 5800 it shows a red background. Can this be done? Thanks.

i think the background of particular elements is based on a theme that one chooses. so if your theme does not have it indicated by red then unless you find a theme with red backround it is not possible to do. you can't chose an element and make it a different color. for various and a large selection of themes go to
www.dailymobile.se
and enter the forum section look for sub forum for 5th ed devices and go to themes. you might find something you like
what color is your 5800? perhaps the theme you saw was made for the 5800 red and if you have a different color chances are you will not have that theme.

Nokia 5800 - Any way to get both contact bar and c...

Would love to get the contact bar and also upcoming calendar entries on the home screen. Have been trying but and very disappointed in the phone if it can not do this. What is the point of only have the contact bar or 4 contacts on the home screen and really nothing else?

Hi,
You would not be able to add calendar entries in the Contacts Bar Screen. Contacts Bar Screen will only be having details of the Contact & settings, Log details of the Contact.

The contacts bar is visible when I open FaceTime. How do I remove it. There is no close option for it.

Is it there when answering and during a FaceTime call?
Is it there after selecting a contact to initiate a FaceTime call and during the call?
You can't remove it when launching FaceTime to initiate a FaceTime call.

Contact Bar has stopped Working for Nokia 5800 XM

Is there any way that anyone would be able to help me. I have had the Nokia 5800XM for 2 months now and a couple of days after getting it, my contacts bar home screen froze. It does not let me add any contacts on, and leaves the screen unresponsive which means that i have to use a different home screen option. have tried Updating Firmware(also tried re-installing it) My version is 30.0.011, and it does not let me update to the new Firmware
any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had this problem with my 5800XM last week. The only difference was that it was the shortcut screen that failed. Everytime I pressed a button nothing happened, even the contact and dialler buttons were dead. I had to change to the contacts home screen (very annoying). Tried the web but couldn't find any mention of this problem.
In frustration, I did a hardware re-set of my phone (after doing a backup) using the Green, Red and Camera buttons whilst the phone was powering up,. I then re-formatted the memory card in the phone and did a full re-install.
Hey presto, everything works perfectly again. I guess the software in some way got screwed up ?

Facebook feed for xpressmusic 5800 contacts bar

Hi all,
I have some contacts set up on the home screen in the contacts bar. I am trying to use the 'feeds' option for these contacts. I have spent some time today looking at how I could possibly use this feature to add facebook feeds to these contacts. I did manage to get some instructions on how to do it but those were written back in early 2009 and it looks like facebook has made some changes to their feeds/URL links hence those instructions dont work anymore.
Could anyone help me add facebook feed to the contacts on the contacts bar on xpressmusic 5800? Also I wonder if that is actually possible or not. If it is not possible then what other kind of feed Nokia was thinking that could be associated with each contact?
Thanks

Try restarting your phone while you hold down the power AND the sleep button at the same time.
This defenitly is a software bug and normally there should be this button.
