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.

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

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.

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?

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.

Orange home screen nokia asha 300

how to activated orange home screen on my nokia asha 300?

I think only with themes, you can change the colours and look of your home screen.
Select Menu > Settings and Themes.
Select Select theme > Themes and a theme from the list.
or try downloading more themes from Nokia Store.

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..

I hate that with ios 7 my bookmarks show up on the safari home screen. Is there a way to remove the icons from the screen without deleting my bookmarks completely?

I have recently updated to ios 7. On my safari home screen there are my favorites listed. I absolutely hate it. Is there anyway to remove the bookmarks from the safari home screen without deleting my bookmarks completely? I am resisting the urge to throw the whole **** thing away and buy another tablet. Please help me! I usually love the updates but I feel ios 7 is more than I can bare. If I wanted Window's crappy format I would have bought a Microsoft product!

On your safaris home screen is a square icons consisting of your favorites and the IOS 7 favorites ( Disney,Apple,Yahoo,Etc) and I knew I wouldn't use these so I wanted to learn how to delete them. So, after messing around a few times with them, I realized how easy it was to delete them. All you have to do is go to the top right corner of your homepage and click on the book icon (found left of the cloud icon). Once you click on it, your history for safaris searches should come up. On the top left corner above your history should be " <Bookmarks " written in blue. Click on that and a list consisting of these should come up ( top to bottom of list ) FAVORITES / HISTORY / GOOGLE /BING / IPAD USER GUIDE. Click on FAVORITES. Your list on the favorites on your home screen should come up. Simply slide over the item to your left (EX.. Yahoo) and a DELETE button in red should come up. Click delete and your done, the icons should disappear on your home screen. Only bad is that you have to delete them from your favorites too.

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

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

How to bring up "Favorites" contact list (& where are "Home" preferences)?

I see this in some on-line pages about how to use the iPhone:
"your list of favorite contacts is only a double-pressed home button away"
but on my iPod (4G Verizon), double-pressing the home button gives me a gray upper screen and shows me the currently-running apps in a row on the bottom. How do I get to the favorites list? I'd like to have a speed dial list accessible from the main screen as quickly as possible. Also, I saw this:
"As of iPhone OS 3.0, the home button can also be set as a shortcut to open the camera or search applications on the phone. As with the other settings, in the Home option of General settings, you'll find check boxes to set either the camera or search apps as shortcuts."
When I go to Settings and then General, I see: Auto lock, passcode lock, restrictions, date and time, keyboard, international, accessibility, and reset. Nothing about the Home option. What am I missing?
thanks in advance!
Mike

The Home Button functions changed in iOS 4 to support multi-tasking, and you can't any longer assign functions to the double-click.
To get to Favourites (or even Favorites ) yI always have the Phone icon as one of my fixed bottom 4 icons, and I click it once to open the phonebook and then hit the Favorites button. 2 clicks instead of one, but...

Can you make a contact appear as a shortcut on the home screen?

When I used a Droid phone, I was able to put my 9 most used contacts on one of the home screens as shortcuts. Im finding out that the iPhone 4 takes more time to get to my contacts even though there is a favorites section. I'd like to put that on the home screen instead of having to click phone>contacts>favorites>then scroll to find my favorites. I want to swipe to the contacts page and click one of my top 9 favorite contacts! Possible? If not, I plead with Apple to make this possible. It was the only thing I liked about my Droid!

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.

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.
