Bug - Home Screen phone Icon under/behind the 'back arrow' icon

Agent_007 — Thu, 26 May 2016 11:22:23 GMT

Hi there,

My telephone Icon is under/behind the standard "back arrow" at the bottom of the screen on the area where you cannot edit icons ("<" "🏡" "[]") putting this on another words there are two icons (back arrow and telephone) on the same position ("📱<" "🏡 " "[]") I tried deleting the page, but at this part of the screen is a standard one, you get it on every page.

When I click on the two icons only the arrow command responds so I created another shortcut for the phone one in order to be able to make calls, but I would like to get ride of the phone icon behind the arrow.

Reset (soft) doesn't help.

Anyone experiencing the same or having an idea how to solve this?

Thanks!

Go to settings - apps, look for xperia home. Force stop, go to storage and clear data. Restart.

You deserve the correct answer @Emir!

Hey @Agent_007,

That's a strange one, sorry to hear about that.

Do you use the standard Xperia Home launcher, or have you downloaded and installed one from third party? If you use the standard Xperia Home launcher then I recommend that you clear data for the app, this will result in the home screen being reset.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Menu (3 dots in the top right) > Show system > Xperia Home > Storage > Clear data.

How does your Home screen look now, is the Phone app still stuck behind the "back" button?

Edit: I can see that @alexdon beat me to it!
