Phone icon replaced, I had to do a Hard reset and the Pnone Icon has been replaced with a Generic Windows flag Icon, any suggestion on how to get the phone icon back to normal?

I just got a new phone and has the same problem...I'd be interested in a solution as well.....However, it seems to work just fine.

Did you remove the Phone application from the Start Menu? It needs to be there for the icon to display properly.

Yep that was it...I had found it out by checking out other threads. Thanks for your help.

Thankyou!!!! I've lived with this for nearly a year now, and just like that, its fixed.

Glad it worked for you guys! I did the same thing myself and learned about the fix here.
