Young Android smartphone users often have the question posed in the title of the article. " Here was the iconPI remember where I stood, used it and suddenly it was gone. Can't make a phone call/View and send SMS/Take a photo/Go online/etc.Who is to blame and what to do?»
Consider a few typical cases.
1. You accidentally deleted either an icon or an application.
If you click on the application icon and hold your finger on it for a while (about 1 second), then it " stick to the finger, and at the top of the screen will appear shopping cart icon. If you move the icon to the trash, it will turn red and when you release your finger, both icons will disappear. As a result, the original icon will be removed. Unlike Windows, here the Recycle Bin folder does not exist in the files and it is impossible to restore an icon deleted into it.
but recover deleted icon possibly from . This menu is called up by pressing the button with the image Lattices and contains icons of all installed system and custom applications.
If found in the list desired application and hold your finger on its icon, then some versions OS Android, it will also stick to your finger, and under them the image of the last desktop will appear, on which you can release the icon and it will thus be restored to it. At the same time, she will remain on her same place in the Applications menu.
IN other versions OS when you hold your finger in the Application Menu, crosses appear on the icons, and images of all desktops appear at the bottom of the screen on a reduced scale, where you need drag icon to restore.
Be careful with crosses! They are meant for removing no longer icons, but themselves custom applications. In this case, to restore them, you will need to re-download and install the application from Google Market play.
Thus, if you can't see your missing icon even in the Application Menu, then there is two options:
- either you uninstalled the application as I just described;
- or you accidentally or knowingly disabled it without deleting it completely.
In the latter case look for it among disabled and include ( Settings - Application manager - Disabled tab (swipe from right to left) - Looking for an application - Enable - Reboot smartphone).
2. You accidentally moved the icon.
You probably noticed that the icon stuck to your finger can, without releasing your finger, move around the screen, changing its position and expanding other icons. When moving off screen it ends up on the next desktop. This case is typical when you accidentally held your finger on the icon longer than necessary and did not notice how it stuck and moved to the next table. So try to look for the "missing" icon on neighboring desktops.
The second case of displacement - folder creation. If the sticky icon is placed not between other icons (in this case it pushes apart them), but directly over another icon and release in this position, both icons are placed in a newly created folder named (which can be changed by tapping on it). You may also, through inexperience, fail to notice that created a folder and “lost” their icon in it. Look for folders, enter them and drag your icon back out, to the desktop and in Right place. By the way, folders are very handy tool to save space on your desktop. Use them consciously. See a couple of folders in the first screenshot.
