If you are an Android user and have previously disabled the display of the Emotes icon (Options), the new patch may permanently disable the Emote icon.

STS moved the Emote icon to the revamped menu screen, accessed by touching the gear symbol.

STS also removed the visibility setting from the Options dialog.

Apparently, the visibility of the Emote icon was still tied to this setting. If the Emotes icon was disabled prior to the patch, it will not be displayed.

Remedy

Uninstall the SL APK completely and reinstall it from the Marketplace.

This clears all settings, including the (now hidden) Emote icon.

P.S. Flip? Can you please flag the "virtual joystick visible on the exit button" bug? You can see it in the picture above.
