[AC Question]

Usually it's there but sometimes the shortcut is gone and even in the application manager it is gone. I've tried scrolling to all, running, etc.

Is the phone rooted? Does this happen in Safe Mode as well? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11474. Try also wiping the cache partition: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11018. These steps are for the Note II, but I'm guessing they'll work for the original Note as well.
