Where's the settings item gone?

I'm sure I didn't imagine it right? There's a 'settings' item on the 'wheel'? Mine seems to have disappeared! Odd!

Not sure what you're referring to, I haven't seen one during my couple weeks of using the device...

On the home screen, there's an item with a little 'cog' icon that lets you enable wifi, set profile etc. no?

It was there when I turned the device on I swear, it's gone now... but then I have been hacking the device about all afternoon to figure out my tweaks (i'll probably hard reset later).

Oh... that... no, you didn't imagine it -- it should still be there, but it sounds like you're making good progress on how to add and delete sections to the homescreen... Before you know it, we'll all have weather on our homescreen ;)

Wonder how I broke that then, the settings item just doesn't come up, lol! ;)

Incidentally, you can add any item in the settings menu to the settings item on the homescreen with a simple reg tweak too!

This exact same thing happened to me.  I downloaded the registry cleaner from the link in this very forum, and started cleaning registry entries willy-nilly.  Then my settings cog disappeared.  I'll probably just do a hard reset and start all over.

did anyone find a fix for this? My icon has dissappeared as well. I was cleaning the invalid registry values via sktools lite, it was gone after. I would rather fix the issue before resorting to a hard reset.
