Facebook updates on Contacts Bar (Nokia 5530)

Hi,
does anybody have an idea how to enable Facebook updates on the Contacts bar? I've followed a guide from a site that's now closed but it did not work.
Is it still achievable?

Its not on a 5530.
On an n97,its possible.
However,you can download socially app which gives updates on homescreen.

  • Facebook Update all contacts not working

    Ever since updating to ios8 on my iPhone and iPad, as well as even on my Mac with Yosemite , I can no longer update my contacts with Facebook profile pictures. Any suggestions please

    And here I was just trying to open a new topic when I found this. I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 7.0.5) and this problem occurred to me about a week ago as well. I also tried everything as the OP, even hard reset, nothing helped.
    Here's a picture of how it looks:
    Bear in mind that the apps are updated but the button never changes, not before the update and not after. It always just opens the app. Prior to October 9 everything was working just fine.

  • 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

    friend i can help u use facebook's Notes of ech contacts' feed nd integrate it wd ur contact..
    Will tht help?
    This hw u do it
    Open the full site of fb on ur mobile home browser and then go to the contact's notes.. U'l get an option to subscribe feeds.. Subscribe nd then usin contact bar on homescreen select the feeds..
    For the contacts status updates, i'l check once more..
    For now this is the best i could help.. lolz!

  • 5800 or 5530 contacts bar

    Hi, does anybody knows how to get FaceBook status updates to display under a contact on the 5800 or 5530 contacts bar? I mean something like on this video on minute 1:05
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L21WdrsG7Zs 
    I've found some guides like this one: 
    http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/2009/02/how-to​-add-facebook-status-to-the-5800-xpressmusics-cont​...
    but it seems they're old and that FaceBook changed some things so those guides are useless.
    Can anybody help? 

    Yup, working on Twitter public accounts, but damn stupid facebook, i want to use it with my contacts bar since all my buddies use FB and only one cousin and me use twitter.
    Anyway, thank you Shinobi 

  • 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)
    /t5/Xseries/x6-contacts-bar-gone-software-prob/m-p/873775/highlight/true#M7504
    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.

  • 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  ?

  • Nokia 5530 and facebook app

    Hello, I'm Italian, sorry for my English.
    I bought my Nokia 5530 a week ago and I often enjoy the facebook application.
    However I've two problems:
    1- I can't see notifications
    2- When I go to a friend-of-mine wall I can't see any previous post.
    Can I solve these problems?

  • C5 / Contact bar lacks facebook integration

    The facebook integration inside the C-series is a big thing and actually really cool. However the Nokia seem to have forgoten to integrate this feature in other parts then just Ovi Contacts application. In the Contacts Bar application widget on the homescreen I can absolutley not find any facebook integration. Neither can I use the facebook picture as the contacts picture on the home screen (C5 / no facebook profile picture..) nor can I send fb messages to fb matched contacts. More I cannot see the fb status. 

    I've contacted Nokia on the matter of not being able to use Facebook pictures on the homescreen contact bar. The reply was something along the line of pictures are real time and not stored on your phone. It didn't sound very convincing. Fact is, the contact bar is useless without Facebook integration.

  • Nokias new Contacts bar view versus Horizontal ico...

    I don't understand why these two bars can't work the same way. This applies atleast to the 5730 and couple of other models.
    On Contacts bar you are able to remove the Ovi Chat thingy but you only get the ongoing days next calendar appointment.
    On Horizontal Icon Bar you get the next calendar appointment and even the next one which does not need to be on the same day but you cannot remove the Ovi Chat from the main screen. The setting just disappears in settings if you change the view style.
    I also would like to see an option for deciding how many calendar appointments you get to see. Many times there is a need to see many appointments close to each other so you can plan your day better and more efficiently. Now this isn't as easy as it could be.

    S60 Feature Packs are not like Windows Service Pack that it can be installed... this FP2 will only be made available to new phones that will be announced soon... not even E90 will have this and no S60 phone can be upgraded as far as Feature Pack is concerned... btw, the phones with FP2 might be out before the end of this year...

  • Update for Nokia 5530? Read this please.

    Hi all!
    I bought my (first) Nokia smartphone in January this year: Nokia 5530.
    Since then, no updates was released for my device.
    Nokia forget 5530 as like 5800. Now only C / E series, N8, N9, and low-price like 52xx.
    Recently new update was released for C6, 5230 and 5233 devices with Ovi Maps 3.06, Browser 7.3 Anna-like, Emoticons input, general improves and more.
    Now, my Nokia 5530 is very poor and forgeted:
    Don't have widgets, don't support IM for Nokia (i tested it and loved), Nokia Browser is terrible, and others resource is very obsolete.
    I saw the C6, the images/videos viewer is very much better, you can categorize with folders, favorite photos, and music player now support lyrics.
    Days ago I installed a C6 port to 5530 (I transformed my 5530 in C6), and now my device has widgets, IM for Nokia and all i mentioned in here, but in very lag, the "Memory is full, close some apps and try again" message appears all time, much bored. Then I back yesterday to original firmware 32.0.0.7. I also have put in ALL MUSICS (300+) image covers and lyrics to use in cfw, but now in original don't have this, and I much sad.
    What I want?
    Want that Nokia don't forget users, because my first smartphone made my a Nokia lover, and I liking this. But i don't have money to buy a new smartphone (i want N8) because here in Brazil (where I live) is much expensive price.
    Well, please Nokia, release a nice update for us Nokia 5530 users, even if not with widgets support, but with IM for Nokia, new browser/Ovi maps, lyrics support in Music Player, More organized images/videos viewer and more stabilities and improvements in cinetic scroll, etc.
    I love Nokia and want to continue loving.
    Thank you very much, I'm anxious waiting for my device update.
    Cheers,
    Destroyzer (@destroyzer).

    The 5530 is an older device than the C6. The 5800 wasnt exactly forgotten, but its normal for nokia phones to lose updates once the unit is about a year and a half to two years old. The 5530 is almost two years old already (it will turn two this august), so its not unusual that it wont receive updates anymore.
    Its not exactly Nokia's fault that you bought an outdated phone.

  • A problem with Nokia 5530 wirmware updating! Help!

    Hi all,
    I have meat the problem with Nokia 5530 firmware updating: updating allways finish with the message "Downloading of the variant package failed.Most probably there is non-commercial software in your device."
    Is there any solution for that problem?
    Thanks and regards,
    Alexander

    first its ok
     then
    translation:
    For a better connection please insert the usb-cable directly in to the computer and not trough a usb-hub or -keybord or a dockingstation of a laptop.
    Nokia Software Updater has tried downloading the software, but this is failed 4 times.
    Its posible that it can be caused by a bad, slow or instable internet connection.
    This failure can also occur because we have maybe a problem with our servers.
    try later again
    i tried it on 2 PCs one with vista and one with XP plz help me
