Green Phone Icon Missing from tray

[Cat_S]

OK - here's a new one but related. I now have in my Apps draw a folder I've managed to rename to Phone The icon actually looks like a folder though and not the little green phone picture. Anyone know how to change the icon back to the green phone picture?

How to fix it!
I don't know how it actually happened. What BUT it's an icon that is permanently set on the phone, so it can't actually accidently go in the trash. Somehow it got converted to an unnamed folder over in the apps draw. I kept looking for PHONE icon and of course the apps draw is in alphabetical order so I continually missed this unnamed folder. When I noticed it - this is what I did.
1. clear off a space on the home screen if there is no room for a new icon
2. tap and hold the unnamed folder icon and place that back on the home screen.
3. Then tap that folder to open it and
4. finally drag the icon back to the permanent TRAY that resides at the bottom of the home screen(s) - (on the Samsung Galaxy S III there are six scroll-able home screens. But ONE tray that remains at the bottom of each of those six pages.)
5. Now you can go back to the Apps draw and replace the icons you moved off to make room and you're back to normal again.

Your problems would be solved and you would have more flexibility if you installed another launcher.
I have Go launcher on my phone, and can add to the number of apps in the drawer at will.
Also easy to change the look of all icons.

To change your folder icon should just be a long press to pull up a menu.

I seen this app and was wondering how I can get it back. I would like to re-install it so I can make a call on my tablet. I download a app call Tablet Calling but I'm not sure I like it. You have to enter a 1 and the area code plus the number. I'm thinking I'm make a long distant call. I'm thinking about uninstalling it.
