Disappearing Icons from Home Screen

Has anyone else experienced their icons disappearing from their home screen? Then reappear randomly by either pressing the back key or home key.... It's really weird, but it consistently happens with my Handcent SMS app. Anyone else experience that?

Cs72313, thank you for your inquiry. That is very strange. I have a Nexus also and have not noticed any of my applications disappearing from the home screen. If this is only happening with Handcent, try uninstalling the application and re-installing. Also check the reviews to see if other Nexus users are reporting this issue for Handcent and alert the developer.

Howto remove apple icons from home screen

Hello!
How do i remove all icons from home screen (include apples default icons), and just show the application icon for the program that should be used in our warehouse?

The icons of the homescreen reflect the top line of those located on your main menu.
So, you will need a different theme that has the features you desire.

Disappearing icons in home screen - Iphone 4, iOS 5.0

I have some issues with the home screen icons. Some of them dissapear and appear again with no pattern o reason at all. I've uploaded a video in which you can see how iTunes, Photos, Contacts, Viber, Maps... dissapear and appear again when changing the screen. It's a restored iPhone4 with iOS5.0. A hard reset was performed but it didn't work... any clue?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Delete icons from home screen?

I've added a couple of safari pages to the home screen. How do I get rid of the home screen icons when I don't want them any more? Thanks,
John F

You can only delete icons that you have added yourself, the Apple Apps are not removable.
To delete icon touch and hold your finger on any icon until all the icons start to wiggle on the screen.
The icons that can be deleted will have an X in the corner, touch the X to delete the icon.
You can also rearrange the icons by dragging them around while they are wiggling.
Once you are finished press the home button the lock them in position.

Hide settings icon from home screen in an enterprise environment

Hi,
This question may have already been answered but I was wondering if there was anyway apart from jailbreaking the iPad, the settings icon can be hidden. I have seen it done before on other iPads that have not been jailbroken. Is there an xml file that perhaps can be written and deployed as a profile to the iPad. A quick response would be appreciated
Thanks

I don't know if you can completely get rid of the Settings app, but there a great deal that you can do with the iPhone Conficuration Utility and the Profile Manager is OS X Lion Server.

I hate that with ios 7 my bookmarks show up on the safari home screen. Is there a way to remove the icons from the screen without deleting my bookmarks completely?

I have recently updated to ios 7. On my safari home screen there are my favorites listed. I absolutely hate it. Is there anyway to remove the bookmarks from the safari home screen without deleting my bookmarks completely? I am resisting the urge to throw the whole **** thing away and buy another tablet. Please help me! I usually love the updates but I feel ios 7 is more than I can bare. If I wanted Window's crappy format I would have bought a Microsoft product!

On your safaris home screen is a square icons consisting of your favorites and the IOS 7 favorites ( Disney,Apple,Yahoo,Etc) and I knew I wouldn't use these so I wanted to learn how to delete them. So, after messing around a few times with them, I realized how easy it was to delete them. All you have to do is go to the top right corner of your homepage and click on the book icon (found left of the cloud icon). Once you click on it, your history for safaris searches should come up. On the top left corner above your history should be " <Bookmarks " written in blue. Click on that and a list consisting of these should come up ( top to bottom of list ) FAVORITES / HISTORY / GOOGLE /BING / IPAD USER GUIDE. Click on FAVORITES. Your list on the favorites on your home screen should come up. Simply slide over the item to your left (EX.. Yahoo) and a DELETE button in red should come up. Click delete and your done, the icons should disappear on your home screen. Only bad is that you have to delete them from your favorites too.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT201269 My application and iTune iconhas disappeared off my home screen on my iPhone5

My application and iTune icons has disappeared of my home screen can someone please advise

Swipe left of the Home screen and type iTunes in the search field.
iTunes is a pre installed Apple app that cannot be deleted so it must be on one of your screens.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to help you if you start a thread by cursing at and berating the people from whom you want help.
Where did you purchase your phone? What is the model number? What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked to make sure that it hasn't been disabled in Restrictions?

How do I delete icons in Home Screen?

Hey guys,
My sister used my curve and when I got it back, I saw that there was a Myspace icon for the Myspace app on my home screen. The app isn't downloaded yet, but I can't seem to delete the icon from my screen (I don't want it there). For now I just have it hidden.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Go to options, advanced options, applications.
Let the table build and then check to see if you have an application for Myspace.
If you do highlight the entry and menu key, delete.
Do a battery pull and this will delete the icon.
Some apps are pre set by your carrier. On my Curve I have facebook, part of the
Verizon setup. I can delete it, but whenever I get service books it is pushed to the
phone by the carrier and the icon returns. I have created a folder for these apps and
all others I do not use. By keeping the useless apps in a folder I reduce clutter and
do not accidentally activate them.
Thanks,
Bifocals

Can't turn off "dial from home screen"

I want to allocate shortcut keys to apps. All of the info I've seen says that you have to turn off "dial from home screen" by clicking on the "phone" icon, then clicking on the "menu" icon, then selecting the "General options" item. Trouble is, I don't have a "General options" item - can anyone help me?

I'm in the same boat. I miss my old bb. 9310 does not have this option....
