Getting the same issue. Also my phone doesn't seem to be connecting to the PC although the USb is plugged in. I restarted my phone and the icons got grayed out too.. These are the icons on the bottom of eachhomescreen (the ones for phone, messages etc)

I had this try going into you settings/apps/all and then disable(freeze) the offending app uninstall any updates then enable it again, that's how I got my icons back. Its safe to update afterwards. Hope this helps?

I have the same problem with my new Xperia Z1, uninstalling updates worked for one app but the other two, contacts and phone do not have apps in the list.
Any ideas?

i had to factory reset mine ....

Apart from the restart method that some have tried, you could use a task manager and kill "xperia home". That will force the launcher to reload again and you'll see your icons there. A lot more faster than a reboot .

If you haven't customized it too much just do a factory restore and start from the beginning again.

Thank you bro, but am trying to find a better way before I do reset.. Because it happened before and I did reset, and now it's happening again! And actually I spent too much time customizing the phone :s.. Is there another way?? Thank you.
Did you update your phone to the latest firmware?
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
You could always use the backup app that comes with the phone.
Have you tried clearing the settings app data and cache?

It must not happen if u don't have any un-compatible app or .... however u customized it a lot.
anyway try to update it to .434 and then test it.
> what is ur phone? 02 Or 03?
Am sorry friends. How can I answer your questions? How can I check the firmware version? And how can I know my phone if 02 or 03?? Am new to android, I used to use Nokia..
Can the attached images help u helping me??
U have c6602 with .434 , the latest firmware.
Check ur running apps and cache that stored for setting app itself and try to release some memory if necessary.
Or repair ur phone by PC companion.
Ur setting and data will remain however u can backup them.

Did you try to replace your dialer with some other ported one etc? Or flashed some theme?
If in emergency you can install an app like contact plus or any other dialer app from app store.

That's not the point PCC will restore your dialer but you will lose root in the process so you will need to reroot the device

1.If you are on 4.1.2, go to settings>apps>all apps and see for contacts in the list maybe it is disabled
If you are on 4.3, go to settings>apps>disabled and see there
2. Try clearing data of XperiaHome
3. If you are using xposed modules, maybe you have hidden that app from home
4. Check your system/app directory and see if the apk is present there
Hope it helps

Nope dont let freeze becouse its system app ad can couse damage ...
root the phone and delete the update app from /system, I've always done this way
this way you will loose also some sony apps updates maybe, but you can still get them here in the forum (even more updated from other phones maybe)
I am with the rooting approach. But in that case you can simply freeze it then.
If you don't like rooting you may try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weborienteer.utilits.hibernate&hl=en . It can hibernate many system apps.

The pictures are files on your storage and you are the owner; while album is just an app that is used to view these files, the album app does not own the pictures. In fact, even the android OS does not own them. So even if you were to remove the entire album app, or even install a new OS, your images will stay.
Deleting/Resetting the data should be even more trivial and have no impact.
