Phone icon on the Eris suddenly different

The 'phone' icon at the bottom of the main Eris screen is suddenly different. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it is an uneven rectangle and the ^ and the + symbols are scrunched unevenly closer to the middle.
If I drag my finger across it, the old display comes back, but as soon as stop touching it, the weird new display shows back up as the default.
The only major problem I've experience after the 2.1 upgrade is the weather widget not refreshing- from reading others' posts, that's a common problem. I upgraded about 10 days ago.
I updated two apps yesterday- BBC news and Lookout anti-virus.  I can't imagine that would have caused it, but who knows?
Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know how to fix it? It's not a major thing, but I would defininitely like to correct it.
Thanks!

Usually with software updates, some phone icons and symbols tend to change or be a tad different. In your case there is no real way to correct this minor issue besides to go back to the previous version of software on your device if it is possible.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT201401 My new Iphone 4 camera is not functioning.  When I click the phone icon. The photo shutter appears, but nothing else happens.  I've shut the phone off and turned on serveral times.  The same thing occures.,

    My new iphone 4S camera is not functioning.  When I click the phone icon, the shutter appears.  Then the screen only shows the shutter.  When I go back to the home screen and click the phone icon again.  The photo screen only shows a black screen.  The button to take photos is locked the entire time.  I've turned the phone on and off several times.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have these ALL been tried?

  • When I try to answer a skype video call from someone, the call is ended before I can get it!  As soon as I click on the phone icon or the camera icon, it ends the call.  This only happens from one contact.

    When I try to answer a skype video call on my Ipad (2nd generation), as soon as I click on the phone or video icon the call is ended.  This only happens with one of my contacts.  I can video call them without any problem!  But not in reverse.  Any suggestions???

    You may have better luck posting this on the Skype forum to see if anyone else has had the problem.

  • Missed calls - a missed call is shown on the screen when the phone is locked. I slide the icon an the phone calls the back to the missed number. The phone still show a missed no. It should clear the icon since I obviously noted the missed call. Any fixes?

    Ok, a wish for the next iOS release, just a small anoying thing.
    Scenario:
    I have a missed call, the screen is locked. The name of the caller shows up on the screen, I slide the phone icon and phone back.
    When I've ended the call there is still a notification of a missed call, i.e. the same missed call that I just called back. To clear the missed call red circle icon on the phone icon (in the unlocked state and the notification on the locked screen) I must open the missed call list. Then it clears.
    My wish is that the phone understands that it should clear that missed call after I returned the call since I have obviously noted it.
    -> Is this something apple will update or is there a setting that I could change?
    /Erik

    You have to return the call via the recent list or tap the red missed call entry in recent list otherwise even a hundred calls won't turn the balloon off.

  • Getting to the phone key pad from the call icon in the Hub

    Why is it that in the Phone Icon in the Hub the phone keypad cannot be found and a speed dial call cannot be made? Why one has to exit the Hub Call Icon, and then get back in the phobe Icon out of the hub, to then go to the screen with the keypad to then make a speed dial call? Why call it speed dial? Why was it it changed?

    Because its calls ie notifications

  • 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.

  • How do I get rid of menu Phone icon?

    I know this is a silly request, but I have this phone icon at the top of my screen (between my time machine icon and my speaker icon) , a headset with 2 dots and 2 lines coming off it, I think it was part of an older OS and related to the use of a modem. highlighting it now shows "no modem configurations found" (in gray) and "open Network preferences" in black which I can do but I cannot find where to get rid of that icon. I remember in earlier OS that it was how I got to dial-up menu of Network locations. I have a iMac intel duo (brand new) and doesn't have a modem in it.
    Any ideas?
    thanks
    roger

    Press the COMMAND key down and simultaneously drag the icon out of the menu bar.

  • I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

    I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.
