AC Question

Phone Icon Gone From Home Screen

Using 4.4.4 on a Samsung Galaxy Lite

The icon is not in the apps location.

The phone can still receive calls.

If I use the voice feature it can stil make a call. The contact list appears to be intact somewhere in the phone, but there is no more access to the icon that brings up the dialing pads, speaker phone etc.

The two numbers for which I created shortcuts on the screen still work too.

How can I restore a functioning phone icon?

Than you.

Re: Phone Icon Gone From Home Screen

Open the app drawer (the box or circle with the rows of dots or little boxes). Find Phone. Long-press it, then drag it to the home screen. If you can't drag it directly to the blank spot in the tray (the bottom row of the homescreen, where it was before), drop it on the homescreen, then long press it again and move it to the tray.
