So I dropped my phone and the next thing I know whenever I hit the home key which used to take me to the home page like the phone is supposed to do, it opens the navigator app. How can I set the home button back to default! I dont know how this happened. Thanks!
 
So I dropped my phone.

...(behavior of damaged phone)...

I dont know how this happened.

;)

Devices being physically impacted are highly likely to behave differently than they did before the impact.

Things could right themselves with a battery pull or even just with a normal shut down/turn on cycle.

Those are the first two things I'd try after dropping my phone and seeing strange things going on.

If no change, I'd go ahead and try "starting over" with a factory data reset.

Still no change.. time to head to the store to tell them what happened and hope for a replacement. Insurance? Warranty? .. etc. ;)
