HELP - missing phone icon

Am new to smartphones...I got a Droid Maxx this week - while "sweeping" my fingers on the main screen, I moved the phone icon off the screen and cannot figure how to get it back. Please Help!

Welcome to Android...and your problem is easily solved if you haven't already got it figured out. Tap the Apps icon to see list of all the apps installed on the phone. Swipe till you see the phone icon, press and hold itto drag it back to your home screen.
From there you can press and hold and drag it to your favorites at the bottom so it's always there no matter what screen of apps you are on.

On my contacts missing phone icon any solutions

missing on my contacts my icon for phone any solutions to fix ?

Hi Mcarr1976,
If you are using an iPad, a contact will not have a phone icon next to the phone number unless that contact has FaceTime available. See this help page for reference -

Help - Lost phone icon on quick launch bar

Hi,
I've been playing with configuring the quick launch bar by dragging icons from the launcher. When I dragged a fifth icon onto the quick launch bar it replaced the phone dialer icon.
No big deal I thought - I'll just drag it back from the launcher - except it's not in the launcher...
Any suggestions on how to get it back.... If only I'd lost the contacts icon I really wouldn't care, but losing the phone dialer is a problem!
Thanks!
Darren.

Hrm, typically you can't add an extra icon unless you have room. Only five icons allowed plus the launcher button.
Is the phone icon located on any of the launcher pages? Also does searching for phone result in it finding the application?
So, you meant 5 *including* the launcher button, not 5 *plus* the launcher button, right? Because I can't get any more than 4 plus the launcher, and unless they were made smaller, it doesn't look like there'd be room for another. Or am I missing some way to do that? I'd love to add one more, since I use Google Maps almost daily for traffic checks, but I use the other stuff already there dialy as well.
Thanks,

Help please - phone icon only found in spotlight - how do i get it back!

OK - so ,,,,I was moving my apps around to try get them organised and as i normally do i moved the 4 main apps off the bottom bar onto a page so i could then move icons onto the bottom bar to quickly move them to the new pages.... are you following me!
Well I then started moving apps around all over the place but when i went to look for my 4 apps (phone, ipd, safari and mail) on a screen i couldn't find them anywhere. They can be found in spotlight but my question is.....how do i get the app icons back onto a screen!
Please someone help

If you have more than 180 apps, they won't all show on the screens. Try this:
Start by resetting the home screen layout: Choose Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Home Screen Layout. That will put the original icons back in their original positions. The rest you have to move manually.
To get an icon to another page easily, with iPhone OS 3.0, you can drag the icon you want to move to the top right or top left corner of the page, and hold it there. The pages will keep flipping. When you've arrived to the page you want to add the app to, just move the icon away from the corner.

Help please....phone icon missing from screen suddenly

Hi,suddenly I looked at my home screen and it seemed different. I noticed that the phone option is missing from the bottom of the home screen. It is usually down with the icons "mail" "safari" and "ipod". Where did it go and how can I get it back???? Thanks...

Hello szabc,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards!
ride1992 is correct. You may have moved the Phone icon to another page of your home screen. Fortunately the Phone icon is not one that can be deleted - only moved. Information for editing or resetting your home screen is found in the pages ride1992 mentioned.
If you do not have the iPhone User Guide, you can find it here:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3235153
Hello Shahin,
As suggested by Kapil, Please check for authorization error. You can also view SU53 immediately after you enter into Planning book.
C_APO_FUN is the authorization object which has two key functions C_SELECTION and C_SELORG. User of C_SELECTION is - If user is not assigned C_SELECTION function then selection icon does not appear in Planning Book.
Also please read this SCN thread which will be useful -
Hope this will help.

Phone icon missing

8900 two days old - trying hard to conquer - cannot locate the phone icon - can anyone help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Oh! The Call Log icon...yes, as above it's hidden in the App folder. Alternatively, you can launch the phone app (with the Green phone key) and one of the selections there should also allow you to access the call log.

Why is my app missing the tablet/phone icon in the Windows store when I have linked my phone app to my Windows Store app

I recently updated two apps that I had developed both Windows and Windows phone apps for. They were not originally linked as they were developed before there was a linking process. I updated both the phone apps to have the same in app purchases
as their corresponding Windows app and then linked their app package ids to there corresponding Windows apps as well. However, only one of the two apps I updated now shows the Tablet/Phone icon in the Windows Phone store. I would really like that
icon to appear as I think it will help downloads. I linked the app packages the same on both apps so I don't know why one is showing the icon and the other is not. The updated has been published for over a week so I don't think it's a timing issue.
Please help.

It's just you. And the Caps Lock key on your keyboard is stuck. You should get that fixed.

Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.

Help - deleted my phone icon when flipping thru screens

Stupid I know but I was attempting to delete an app that I no longer use and my finger hit my 'green phone' icon and I can't get it back. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen (deleting preinstalled icons on phone). Is there anyway to avoid restoring my phone to its original settings or is that what I have to do to be able to make a call....Thanks for the help.....

I was on the first home screen (my main screen) and I checked every app on all pages and it is no where to be found. I only have 1 folder and thats purely by accident (it's not there either). I think what happened was because of the way I was holding the phone and flipping thru; my phone app was directed to the left which is the search screen. I have no idea how to get it back on my main screen. I've looked on Apple's website and there's so much information that I am frustrated and overwhelmed.
Please please help me figure this out.

Phone icon contents missing

The contents of the phone icon on my iPhone 5 (64GB and recently updated to iOS 8.1) are all missing. I can receive calls and see who is calling, but I cannot make calls and access my contacts. I tried restoring it, but it did not change anything. When I search for one of the contacts it does show that contact, but I still cannot dial or access other contacts through the phone app. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Hello there Gustavo,
It sounds like you are opening the Phone app but you cannot use any of the tabs even after you restored your device from a backup. I would quit all the running apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next backup and restore the device as new with iTunes and re test:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If that does resolve it, then restore your backup and verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Frozen "missed call" icon-HELP!-

I can not get rid of a "missed call" icon. I deleted all the call logs and pulled out the battery and so far nothing has worked. I do not want to wipe out the software and reinstall it but if I have to I guess I will.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
Did you delete the call logs using your device or the Desktop Manager. If you haven't tried the Desktop Manager option, you can try to delete just the call logs database by using Backup and Restore, and then click on Advanced. Then scroll down to the Phone Call Logs then clear it out. The Advanced option came in handy when I wanted to clear out all my calendar entries.

Phone icon on iPhone 4 gone/ Need help pls

I have a question regarding the phone icon on my iPhone4. Don't know how but it's "poof gone". Mail, Safari and iTunes are still at the bottom. I wasn't even aware these icons were moveable.
Through Spotlight I can see that the phone function is still there. By tapping on the Home button twice I used to be able to see the icon. When I touched it, the numbers touchscreen came up but no favorites options, contacts, etc. were there.
Can someone please tell me how to make my phone icon show up again on my phone? I have done the usual - turned it restarted it, did a full restore...still nada.
Thanks for any help,
LLReee

As Emily Latella would say, "Nevermind!".
I don't know what I did but I know how to fix it now!
