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.
Solved!

are you sure you have all your contacts in old phone in phone memory (not in SIM?)
How many contacts you have alltogether ?

Nokia N97 Mini Contact Bar Web Feed

I see that the X6 contacts bar has a "web feed" option. I read somewhere that the N97 had one too (too bad mine fried). Is there one for the N97 Mini? Can't seem to find this.
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
I beleive you are using MS Outlook.
Try the following workaround.
Manual sync
Open Nokia Ovi Suite--> Sync--> Sync option--> Uncheck the sync automatically everytime you connect the device.
Then Sync--> Sync now--> Contact,
Repair the "pst" and the "ost" Outlook files as in the following location.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANPST.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANOST.EXE
Right click the above mentioned exe file and 'Run' it.
NOTE
It's adviced to take a back- up of the user's Outlook folders to avoid any loss of information.
Check with Microsoft support pages for more information.

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.

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.

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 ?

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...

Nokia 6300, iSync, and Contact Photos-

Thanks to the following links, I was able to get my new Nokia 6300 to successfully sync with my Mac’s Address Book via iSync:
http://klauskjeldsen.dk/2007/06/08/free-nokia-6300-isync-plugin/
http://nokia6300.net/8/new-version-of-the-nokia-6300-isync-plugin
http://brent.kearneys.ca/technology/2007/how-to-sync-a-nokia-6300-on-osx/
http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/13/how-to-isync-a-nokia-6300.html
Unfortunately, two things didn’t sync up: Birthdays and Contact Photos. After politely asking people if there was any way to get these to work (especially photos, as it’s nice to see someone’s picture pop up on the phone for faster recognition before you unceremoniously reject them) I tried to tackle this one on my own. I was able to dig around in the plist files of the Nokia N93 and glean the few lines that make both of these details available to the Nokia 6300 plugin.
Before we begin however, I’ve noticed some problems that can occur with Photo syncing. PLEASE READ THIS THOROUGHLY before continuing: it’ll save some head-banging and frustration later.
Failing to follow the following guidelines will result in a completely failed sync. Should this happen, I simply deleted all of my contacts on the phone (phone memory, not SIM card), tried to determine the problem, and tried again.
Also, note that if you do end up deleting all of the contacts on your phone, you’ll also lose your 1-touch dialing and the entries in your caller groups (but not the groups themselves).
Here we go:
Do not use .GIF files — JPG only! (I didn’t test PNG)
You cannot drag-and-drop from a web-page directly onto a contact. Although this works for Address Book in that you’ll see the ‘image edit’ window pop-open, and you can save your contact, when it comes to iSync your entire sync will fail. If you want to use someone’s image (from Facebook, for example) simply drag the photo you want from the web-page onto your desktop, and then drag the photo from your desktop onto the Address Book entry’s ‘contact photo’ area. You’re then free to delete the image from your desktop.
You cannot sync with a ’smart group’ that you created within Address Book. This has more to do with iSync than the new plugin, but it’s a pain nonetheless. Physical groups only!
When a sync fails, you are not told what failed, or why it failed. iSync detailed logs are useless too, stating only:
5:28:24 PM Error [Nokia 6300] An unexpected error occured.
5:28:24 PM Error Device "Nokia 6300" synchronization failed
Fun! What I did was create a ‘temp’ group, set iSync to sync with that folder only for contacts, and then slowly add contacts into that temp group until a failure occurred so that I knew what the offending entry was.
The plugin that I’ve created is essentially just the one from the site listed above, but with some additional properties put into the PhoneContuit.plist and SyncEngine.plist files.
As with everyone else, I take no responsibility if this completely fcks up your phone or Address Book, but please do backup both your Address Book (File -> Back Up Address Book…) and your phone’s contacts (I typically just copy everything to SIM). I can say that this has worked fine for me for a day now, with a fair bit of testing. After I cleaned up my offending image-entries, it’s been great.
To install: Quit iSync, download the following zip file, and drag-and-drop the plugin into your system using the shortcut, and sync away.

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

Nokia X2: Calendar and contacts sync with outlook....

hey there
i have a nokia x2 and i got myself a new outlook.com account just in order to finally have my emails, my contacts and my calendar synch using the outlook.com app.
1 email synchronisation works fine
2 contacts sync seem not to be possible.
- contacts can be edited only on outlook.com, but not via app. could you confirm this? I wonder why and if an update will solve this issue. what am i supposed to do in order to synch my contacts if i add a new contact or email or whatever on my nokia x2? add it manually to the outlook.com adress buch? this is not feasable!
- besides the birthday is not displayed on nokia x2 alltough being present on the database of nokia x2 (i can export it with the contact using the export function)
3 calendar synch works only from outlook.com to nokia x2. if i add a new event on nokia x2, this one event doesn't get sync on outlook.com. any idea what goes wrong or what i am supposed to do to fix this?
nokia/microsoft colleagues please help, i am using only your stuff, it cannot be that it does't work even when using ONLY microsoft programs
thx

Little update
2 calendar --> there is a workaround that makes calendar synch working (using exchange account and also outlook.com app). if you turn off the local calendar and if you edit directly the exchange calendar, it works (create, edit and delete). synch between local und exchange calendar doesn't work, no way.
2 contacts: no workaround
- using outlook.com app you can't edit contacts and birthdays don't get displayed
- using exchange server you can edit the contacts locally bur all changes doesn't get synchronised with outlook.com. birthdays are displayed.
- new problem: contact groups don't get synchronised in any direction!!
microsoft / nokia people kindly help..

2 ways.
1 Connect your phone to your PC, open iTunes and sync the contacts from there.
2 Open an iCloud account, connect your PC and your phone to it, select contacts (and any other services you want)

Nokia x6 contacts bar help

Hey guys, this is my first post/thread.
I recently got an x6 16gb model, and I was wondering. I've seen loads of pics of the home screen, with the contacts bar and the contacts being shown on the home screen. Like this for example:
On my screen though, it just shows the 'Add contact' widget. How do I get my contacts onto the homescreen?
Thanks a bunch.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think you have to click on the "add contact" thing to add particular, "favourite" contacts to the homescreen. It won't show you all your contacts because then it'd be hard to navigate them.
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.
