HELP HELP App world icon disappeared

My App World icon has disappeared from desktop while uptdating to ver 3.1.0.56. I have checked this forums and it seems it's a widespread problem and the solution is to wipe the cell phone software and then reinstall everything.
However, I am not satisfied with this solution as: 1 - I paid a lot of money for a work instrument that is software prorietary; 2 - I have no computer I can use to install BB software as I am running Linux; 3 - RIM has been aware of this bug some time but yet hasn't done anything to fix it or avoid it in the future.
So my question now is: is there another way to make my icon reappear or should I just replace my and all my employees' cell phones with Android ones?

Have a look at the post above - it depends on which version you're talking about. A lot of people were having problems with version .56 and then installing the BB ID app after doing the update. Then with version .58, a lot of people had the problem with the AppWorld icon disappearing after the upgrade. If this is your problem, then you can simply go to http://appworld.blackberry.com/ on your phone and install version .56 from there and that should overwrite .58 to .56. Hope this helps...

    Hey setheme,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Have you tried removing the battery and placing it back in?
    Also have you looked under your downloads folder to see if App World was listed there?

  • Blackberry app world icon disappeared

    Hi anyone could help, I have tried to upgrade my Blackberry app world and the icon just disappeared and tried to open menu to show all hidden icon nothing help. I also tried to re-download the icon but nothing shows on the home screen, please help on that. Thank you. 

    Hello mashjohn and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Under Options>Device>Application Management, do you see App World installed? If so, delete it and ensure you reboot.
    On your browser go to www.blackberry.com/appworld to reinstall it. If you get a prompt to reboot, ensure you do so.
    Check to ensure your icon now appears.
    Let me know how you make out.

  • Cannot Use Blackberry App World / Icon disappeared

    I have lost App World.  I was prompted to update to a newer version, which I did (repeatedly!), and now it's gone and the icon is nowhere to be found.  I can find it listed under Applications but cannot use it.  I've tried all the tricks -- pull the battery, delete it and download it again, etc.  I've spent all day and it still doesn't work.  I've really about had it!

    Hi Trecex 13,
    Welcome to the Community,
    If you looking for the latest version of App World Download it from here http://blackberry.com/appworld
    But before that if you had installed any previous version then uninstall it this way :
    Options > Device > Application Management.
    Scroll to BlackBerry AppWorld > Delete.
    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a min, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Good Luck

  • HELP: I downloaded upgrade for App World to BB 8900 and now the App World icon is gone!!

    Hi
    I downloaded BB App World 1.1.0.33 for my Javelin 8900 yesterday and just realized today that my App World icon is gone/ hidden!
    I hav searched all folders and it is not there.
    When I checked my applications in options it is very much there as being fully installed!
    How do I 'unhide' or find App World please??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Is it hidden on the home screen? Did you check if it was hidden in either the Downloads or Applications folder?
    No it is not hidden on the home screen as i set it to show all. It wasnt located in the downloads folder either. I had mentioned earlier that when I checked on the list of Applications installed it was listed there as being installed on the system.
    My solution was to delete the installment from the Applications list, reboot the device then re-install it once more (I did this twice btw). When I did that the second time I checked the downloads folder and it was finally there! I hope this helps @ rcorai.
    Though I had pretty much preferred if I could have located the previous app rather than delete n re-installing it!

  • I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want  and then click on "Open" to use it.  Help!

    I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

    Hey PlayerPS,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

    1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
    2. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, etc.
    If you still don't see it, look at Options > Device > Applications. Do you see it listed there?

  • Where did my BB App World icon go?

    Ok, so I've downloaded the latest update for the BB App World, and after it rebooted I can't find the BB App World icon anywhere!
    Can anybody please help me with this? It's not on the homescreen or any folders. I've looked for it 3 times. It just vanished.
    Help!!!!

    Hey Rick20K,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    With performing an app load I do suggest performing an enterprise activation if you're having trouble receiving emails.
    I honestly perform an enterprise activation after every update.
    If the application is still not appearing try re-downloading the application from www.blackberry.com/appworld and once completed, restart the BlackBerry and it should appear on your home screen.
