You may occasionally run into error messages or issues with the Dialer. The easiest fix is to reinstall it.


  1. Long press the Dialer (1) and select Uninstall (2)

Wait a minute or so and the app will reinstall itself.

If you don't want to wait:


  1. Put the phone to sleep by quickly pressing the Power button to turn the screen off
  2. Press Power to wake it up and then unlock the phone, if necessary
  3. This forces the phone to check for any missing apps and reinstall the Dialer


Once the Dialer app is back on the phone, open it and set the following:

    3. Tap Back
  2. Default Dialer
    1. Select Dialer (1) and then Set as default (2)
