Phone: Samsung Galaxy S (Sprint Epic 4G)
Carrier: Sprint
Firmware: Stock Gingerbread 2.3.6
Issue: I am missing the Messaging and Contact shortcuts at the bottom of the screen (or to the right when physical keyboard is open).
How it happened: I sent a text message using the physical keyboard. Then when I closed the keyboard and hit the home button I noticed that the "messaging" and "contacts" icons were missing form the bottom of the screen. Now only "Phone" and "Applications" are visible and they are now centered as well so it isn't like the other two icons are just some how invisible. I am still able to access messaging and contacts through that apps menu and even able to create shortcut icons to put in the upper part of the my screens. I would like to know how I can fix the problem and get them back on the bottom of the screen with the phone and applications icons.
Attempted Fixes: I have turned the phone off and let it sit for a few minuets. (did not work) I have turned the phone off removed the battery and let it sit (also did not work). I had also checked for a firmware update and everything is all up to date.
Any help would be much appreciated.
