Nokia :: X6 - Unable To Add Shortcut On Homescreen
Jul 30, 2010
I have just started to see this problem, it has worked ok since I had the phone. Basically I am unable to add any shortcut to the Orange homescreen, I understand you can only have 4 and have removed all existing shortcuts to make sure, I can drag applications onto the homescreen but when i tap on the 'add shortcut' icon nothing happens, I have tried a soft reset & this did not work either, I am reluctant to do a hard reset because I don't want to have to re-install/configure everything again.

I can't seem to find the Facebook application on my Nokia X6 from any other location than the homescreen. Shouldn't it also be available from the regular menu somewhere? I want to have the app but I don't want it on my homescreen.
Is there a way to make the Facebook application visibile in the regular menu?
I am thinking of getting the Bold 9900, but there is no side button on the left, like there is on the 8520 - which I use for IMing.I've been told how to disable homescreen dialing with enables shortcut keys. But how do I now alter a shortcut key, or ADD one, so for instance the zero button opens Instant Messaging?
this is prakash i have been using nokia The phone is working is well as basic phone but the follwing is worrying me they are
1. Absence of Screen saver option
2. Absence of group image in contact group
3.Absence of document viewer (even though we are installed third party apps it is not working as inbuilt apps) * 4. Unable to add more shortcut on the home screen.Shall i hope that the nokia will release its firmware update for 5230
As the title of the thread says, i'd just like to know if this is at all possible. I've tried getting to it via the shortcuts menu, and by navigating through the menus and trying the long press method. Nothing happens though. Please share your knowledge if you have found a way.
After upgrading to v40, I've compared the new homescreen to the old homescreen and to the old homescreen with v21-31, these are my findings.
- The old homescreen on v40 does not have the email notification that Nokia introduced a short while ago and which was obviously VERY well recieved globally.
- The new homescreen on v40 has kinetic scrolling contacts which is, um, cute. It has the ability to control the music player (What I found to be very buggy, crashing it by simply pressing 'forward' when it's playing a folder with 1 song).
- The new homescreen on v40 does not have calendar and tasks, probably for the space the new music player-thing takes. This was my FAVORITE thing on the homescreen and I am sure I'm not alone.
I truly hope Nokia addresses these issues by either returning the email notifications to the old homescreen or somehow allowing to see the calendar and tasks on the new homescreen. Or both.
The shortcut widget for having shortcuts for apps in the symbian 3 or symbian Anna platform is made for having four shortcuts and nothing less. If at all, one doesn't assign a shortcut to it, still there's an icon that is shown as default when nothing is assigned.Here's what you do...1. Download the app called vacuum.sis from the web. Try this link...www.mediafire.com/?a01dw4w4azasjmn2. Install the app anywhere in your phone, phone memory, mass memory or memory card.3. Now go to homescreen and press and hold to go into edit mode.4. Tap the desired location for adding the shortcut bar and select it from the list of widgets available.5. Once the shortcut bar is added, tap it and go into the settings for adding the shortcuts to it.6. Now if you want to add only one app in the shortcut bar, select the desired location from one to four and add the app. In the rest of the locations, add the vacuum app.7.
Now close the shortcut and return to home screen. You should see only one shortcut in the shortcut bar. This way you can place any one app at any location on the grid with app.What's actually vacuum app? Its a dummy app which when installed, results in an app which doesn't do anything on installation and has a transparent icon. So an unknowing tap on the shortcut also will do nothing. Tada! You've a shortcut bar with just one app... Its customizable between one and four apps. This has been tested and works in my Nokia C7 with Anna. So should work in other symbian
I jailbroke my phone using jailbreakme.com. Come to find out you are unable to change the homescreen wallpaper. Between this forum and a website I found I was able to do a work around. But the website I found had told me to add a source which I did. Now when I go into Cydia it gives me an error saying something about along the lines of it is unable to fetch it. So assuming it is unable to fetch it I guess it's doing no good to have the source but when I go to manage and sources it is not listed. How can I get rid of this error?
I have a storm 2 9520. After charging my phone up today I have noticed an error, a very annoying error infact! I have done several battery pulls but I am unable to see my homescreen. Nothing I do loads up my homescreen. If I was to navigate I need to hold down the BB key or press the green button to make a call. Also I can not bring up any icons at all.
To all you guys that isnt satisfied with the Nokia 5800 homescreen and stuff. Spb Software has released SPB Mobile Shell for Symbian and it is really amazing. Completely changes the phone and makes it more flexibel with widgets on the homescreen. Check it out
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?
I have just backed up and synced my phone with my laptop and when I disconnected it I found that the email notification bar had disappeared and I cannot get it back all I get now is an empty greyed strip were it should be which can be pressed but doesn't do anything.anyone know how to get it back??
This has been awaited a long time by the nokia 5800 xm users that in the next firware update nokia provides us with a n97 type screen, may be with lesser widgets but something similar to that, and a symbian^3 update though payable should also be provided to tube users.
Yesterday my N97 switched itself off and when it came on it would only show the menu screen and not the homescreen. If I try to access the homescreen it tells me "its already in use" and keeps diverting back to the menu screen.All applications are working, along with texts and phone calls. Its just highly annoying. This has occurred since the latest software update.
is it possible to add shortcuts for apps to my X6 homescreen? Ive hunted through various options but cant find how to do it. I have managed to move them them to the menu screen using "organise" and then "move to folder" - "root folder", but cannot get them onto the homescreen.
I've just got the Nokia X6 and am slowly learning its bits, but have managed to drag lots of icons onto the homescreen. Unfortunately, I can't seem to drag them back off.
I've found the Email Notification on the homescreen very useful but now there is only a little gap between the Search button and the Calendar events. Disabling or enabling this option doesn't change anything whatsoever. I like new features but I prefer having no option rather than being teased by a half-arsed setting.
After i updated to v40 my homescreen has gone nuts!
The keypad button has turned in to a long button, with "Telephone" written on, and the contacts button has turned in to, a big bar with "Contacts" written on, something like older non touch nokias.
Oh, and none of the 2 buttons actually work! really annoying.
Also, on the 5230 you get some extra buttons/shortcuts on the bottom of the screen, so did i, but they dont work, i cant apply any programs to them.
And if i choose the upper contact bar to be a shortcut bar, nothing shows up, other than empy buttons (like on the bottom of the screen) and even there, i cant apply something...
This has been happening for several weeks now I get 0 warning that I have received a text message. No icon, no popup on the screen, no message tone, nothing.The only way I can tell whether I've received a text message is by checking my inbox.This is getting beyond a joke, I'm now on my second n97 since the last one bricked itself, the lock slide button has fallen off this one and now it's not telling me when I get texts.
one of the first things I did when I was setting up my new Nokia X6 was to delete all the factory images. One of which I think was being used as the Homescreen Wallpaper. I was playing last night and tried a Photo as Wallpaper but the fit is Stretched to whole screen and I can't see how to change it. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the Default back on or even where I could download the default from on the web.
I did a software update via Nokia Suite as it said it had some new themes. While this was installing my N8 ran out of memory and the installation failed. When I checked my N8 the homescreen widgets and shortcuts had disappeared.
I have tried to re- add them but they do not appear on any of the homescreens.
After updating to v51 i'm encountering something unusual.the homescreen clock on the top left goes blank but when i touch than empty place the clock app pops up! After exiting it again goes blank!
I have recently updated my 5800 to the long-awaited v40 firmware and so far it's great, but I've got one serious issue with it. In the previous firmware, the contacts on the homescreen used the default number when I pressed the telephone icon, but now in the new firmware when I select a homescreen contact and press the call icon, a popup appears asking me which number I'd like to call. This is slightly strange, seeing as the same contact selected from the Contacts Book correctly uses the default number without asking. I have tried removing the default number settings and setting it again, and also removing contacts from the homescreen and adding them again, but neither worked. It's pretty annoying, because having certain contacts on the homescreen is meant, at least in my opionion, to speed things up, like speed dial, but now it requires an additional click before the call is made... So, anybody know how to make the HS contacts use default numbers?
the contacts icon and dialer on the homescreen does not work and neither will the green call button from the homescreen. this makes life incredibly difficult as i have to go to contacts within the menu everytime i want to make a call. Can someone please tell me what i've done wrong? or is it a fault with the phone?
