Just wondering, is a hard reset the same thing as the factory reset (ie. erases all data from the device)?
Yep.

Installed without a problem. Haven't had a chance to check the boot loader. I am waiting on a phone call, but it installed without a hitch and the only odd thing it did was uninstalled Amazon Appstore funny enough.
I never noticed if "Phone" or "Dialer" was an app in my app drawer BEFORE the OTA. But now that I have the update, I don't see a "Phone" app or widget.
Just FYI, there's another OTA available now...apparently it patches the problem with it constantly trying to sync. I think it was only about 2 mb

I wonder if the icon was just stuck or was it actually trying to sync the whole time and if thats the case then my battery should now get even better.
Good catch - this isn't even up on the Sprint support website yet. Got a rev number? (setings, about phone, software...)
Watch was actually trying to sync the whole time. I noticed my battery was going pretty fast today and went to Battery and checked all the apps that were listed as using the battery and Watch was listed as keeping the phone awake for the entire time my phone was unplugged. I rebooted and sure enough my Up Time and Awake time stayed the same. I force stopped all of Watch's services and it stopped syncing and my phone slept again.
Anyone on the rev number?
Does this fix anything on the phone app - is it back in the drawer?
This is saying it's freeing bloatware?
HTC EVO 3D Trims the Fat with Removable Bloatware, Receives Minor HTC Watch Update
Weird, I never even thought of doing that. I wonder if that played a role with reviewers complaining about battery life?
My "Phone" Icon has disappeared from my Lock-Screen as well. I can't figure out how to get it back there. When you go to customize the Lock-Screen Icons "Phone" is not on the list. =(
Seriously? Do I really need to do a reset or will they fix this in another OTA update?Unfortunately the OTA removes the Phone Icon from some unlucky users phones and the only way to fix it is to do a Factory Reset/Hard Reset.

This is what I did. I just replaced it with "Voice Dialing" for now and when they fix it I'll put "Phone" back there.Don't waste your time hard resetting(IMO) especially if you already got your phone customized. Also keep in mind that if you do hard reset, the icon may reappear on the lock screen but it still won't be listed in the lockscreen settings like it was before the OTA. I did a hard reset and it came back but after that I did a soft reset for another reason and when the phone came back up the icon was gone so I just replaced it with something else in the mean time.
Absolutely! I don't think we'll have to wait long for the fix. It's good to know I'm not alone. I'm a very new Android user so everything is a big question mark to me.If you want to fix it today then a reset is the only option. Your guess is as good as mine to whether or not an OTA will come soon to fix it. I would think so judging from how fast 2 issues have been addressed thus far but who knows.

I'm sorry but no offense, but the more people this happens to the faster they'll fix it.It seems I opened my mouth to soon. I changed my Mail Icon to Gmail and now my Phone is gone from the lock screen with no way to re add except or a Hard Reset that is. Oy vey!
