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.

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.

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

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..

The last several days I have not been able to access the dial pad. When I go to phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working." To remove the pop up you have to hit 'ok', the it goes back to the home screen. This also happens when I go to contacts.

I have an ipod touch and the contacts icon is missing. How can you add it to the home screen?

Help please

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.

Contacts app not on my home screen how to solve, Contacts app not on my home screen how to solve

Contacts app is not on my newly purchased 4s iPhone home screen. Why? And please how do I resolve this? Thanks in anticipation!

You can move it where ever you want it. By default, it's in the Utilites folder. Tap and hold the icon until it starts to wiggle then drag it to where you want it.

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.

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

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

Somehow My Contacts Icon got dragged in to the Newsstand Icon, and I can't drag my contacts icon out to have on my home screen like normal

Somehow My Contacts Icon got dragged in to the Newsstand Icon, and I can't drag my contacts icon out to have it on my home screen like normal, I can't delete it from the newsstand either. Please help!

It was only happening to that icon. I figured it out though. All I had to do was turn off my phone and turn it back on and it was out of the newsstand icon when I turned it back on. Thanks for your help though!

i have the same problem with my iphone 4.and when synching with itunes it says "can't synch contacts with iphone because iphone is using contacts. close contacts on iphone and synch again."

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.
