The SMS icon has disappeared from the touchscreen

The SMS icon has disappeared from the touchscreen and I can't read texts although on the top left of the screen indicates I have a number of texts. I have tried clicking between Hide and Show All on the menu to no avail. Also how do I free up sufficient device memory to install update. I get message saying delete 7mb of personal data but I have nowhere near that amount there - only contacts and a handful of sms messages. All media is on media card

Hello,

Just go to your options, and click "themes". Then hit "restore theme defaults" and the icons should reappear.

You might also want to got to options menu in the email messages. It appears as you have a combined inbox instead of a separate one.
There is an option that says SMS AND EMAIL INBOXES with three options:
Theme controlled
Combined
Separate


Set it as separate and you should be ok.

Hope it helped.
