Home Screen Glitch

It's hard to describe but I'll do my best.
I noticed that it happens especially when an app is still being downloaded. Previously, you could tap and hold, then drag the app to next page.
There's this glitch where if I tap and hold to move the app as usual, the moment it moves to the next page, the phone starts acting up. Like the app would move itself to the very last page (sometimes would create a new page for itself and settle there).
If I attempt to find it on the last page, and drag it back to where I initially wanted it to be, it would now move in the opposite direction, again on it's own REALLY quick, page by page,to the first page. Then it would plant itself together with the top-left hand most corner app (mine is Messages) and a folder would be created.
The folder app opens but another strange thing happens. You don't see it there. Only the Messages app.
There would also be a "hole" where Messages used to be because the last app or the bottom right hand corner (mine is the Settings app) has been forced off on to the next page.
Usually the phone would rearage that page such that apps would move by one grid space to leave the last grid empty.
I've tried restoring/reinstalling the iPhone via iTunes for the umpteenth time and it still hasn't be fixed.
I've already submitted a feedback to Apple.

Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
after that preform a restore by going to
general>reset>erase all content and settings
this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.

  • Droid 2 global home screen glitching?

    I recieved my first droid 2 global and after about an hour of using it, the home screen would start flipping to another screen about every 2 seconds. And it would always be the last thing I selected. For example, if I was looking at my contacts and hit the "home" icon, it would go to the home screen for a few seconds and then flip back to my contacts and continue doing this everytime I selected "home." It would also not let me get to the app screen at all.
    I did run a virus scan, nothing came up and I didn't download a single app. About all I did was set up facebook for android and add a few contacts.
    I took it to a verizon store and the man there had no idea what it was, so after putzing with my phone for an hour including doing a factory reset, he said they'd send me a new one.
    BUT I had the same problem with the second phone and I'm completely frustrated and clueless. Anyone have any insight?
    [removed unnecessary links]

    ATT: NANCE, YOU SAID IT. I MEAN, YOU REALLY DID HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD!!!      "
    My Droid x2 locks me out of my own phone, while in the middle of a text or phone call it just decides to lock itself.
    Unlocking my phone is a pain because the touch screen glitches as I try to draw in my lock pattern.
    My phone started muting itself on/off numerous times during a phone call with my boss >:(
    If I am lucky enough to get my phone unlocked and get to my home screen sometimes it begins selecting apps
    or m contacts or the dialer and then freezes.
    It restarts maybe 2-3 times a day. The one time I drop it (it started doing this after it fell off my lap as I stood up from sitting at a restaurant.)
    And finally just about a week ago it began to start deleting my own contacts..
    I loved this phone until it decided to run itself? I Still likr it though,

  • Glitch when switching to home screen

    Hi,
    I just purchased the iphone 5s and was wondering if anybody else is having the same issue as me. As I close my apps and return back to the home screen, there is a glitch on the top (where the time is placed, battery life) Basically the top of the home screen lags a bit. It isn't a smooth transition back to the home screen. I am wondering if anybody else is having the same problem, or a similar problem and if it was normal.
    The problem was not fixed through the new update or a system reset.
    Thanks!

  • IPhone 5S Home Screen icons shifting glitch???

    Just picked up my new 5s yesterday and I'm noticing a horribly annoying glitch where when I click back to the home screen all the icons will shift to the right and will become off center and closer to the edge. It might sound small but it's extremely irritating. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? I've erased and restored my phone probably 3 times already.

    It's a very small difference but if you look at the space between the side of the screen and the icons you can see it. Looks stupid just in a screenshot but when you keep watching it happen it's very irritating.

  • 8520 glitch on a home screen text messages

    Hello,
    my phone is approx 2 years old and a few months ago developed a glitch in that it shows the number of the text messages I have, and the number is increasing despite the fact that I have deleted all texts from the phone.
    I noticed that when I switch the phone on after a period off, it adds new messages and shows them as "new" (with that sparkly sign at the corner of it).
    I wonder whether there is a way of deleting this misleading icon from the home-screen?
    Thank you.

  • Hi my iPod touch is glitching, as of yeterday. Everytime I open an app (except safari, music or camera) it flashes the app an ten goes straight back to home screen. I recenty updated when I connected to iTunes, but it shouldn't do that. Help please? :)

    I guess it's all in the question really. But yeah, when I press on an app on the home screen, it opens for a fraction of a second and then closes again, just a flash, and it's starting to irk me. Thanks for any advice :)

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost.

  • I have a very strange home screen app glitch; can someone please take some time to read this because I am stuck!

    I truly thank anyone who reads this and offers any suggestions.
    I went to the App Store on my iPod touch 4th generation (6.0.1) and downloaded an app.  Then I went back to the home screen to move the app inside a folder.  I did this while the app was downloading.  I held down the icons and they began to wiggle.  As I dragged the app icon over the folder, the screen froze, then went through a bunch of random whatever.  Now, suddenly, I have two copies of the same app, one of which is ready to use, and one that has the "Installing" bar full.  I can't delete either of them.  Is there ANY way to fix this without restoring?  Thanks so much for your help.

    Yes.a reset does not erase any data. I always do that when my ipad has a problem. Even apple says it before you go to the genius bar.
    You never know how a reset and just fix one simple thing.

  • Glitch on Notes icon on Home screen?

    I was noticing the Notes icon on the Home screen has a shaded sliver that looks almost like a water mark underneath the brown border of the note tablet. It is a very small piece of the icon but I am wondering if it is on all of the iPhone 4.

    I have a little shadow on mine under the brown...gives the affect of the top sheet of paper being torn off...leaving a little bit of paper behind. I think that is how it is supposed to look.

  • Safari randomly returns to home screen...

    My iPhone 3G, using os ver 4.0.2 (8A400), while browsing the internet will randomly return to the home screen. It doesn't matter if I am using AT&T 3G or at home using my US Robotics WiFi the problem will happen. And the timing varies... sometimes it happens in two to three minutes and sometimes it takes ten to fifteen minutes.
    Is the problem with my iPhone or with Safari? Is there a resolution tot he problem?

    There's very little help that a restore is going to do in this case, and probably even less calling apple. This is a very common problem people have had with the touch, and we can all only just wait for a future update to the firmware, which will hopefully fix these "glitches".

  • My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air, My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air

    My home screen icon get misligned when I switch between apps. also subway surfer behave strangley as in there is a graphical glitch

    I have no idea what Subway Surfer should look like so I wouldn't know if there was a graphical glitch in your screenshot or not, but I assume that the brown figure on the left side should, have real definition in the features and details in the clothing rather than just look like a smeary brown blob. That's just a guess on my part.
    I understand that you paid good money for the device and that it should not be doing what you are experiencing. I would start with the basic troubleshooting steps - moving all the way up to a complete restore of the iOS - and if they don't work, then you will have to contact Apple if you want resolution to the problem. They must have an authorized repair facility that you could send the device to if needed.
    Restart, reset, restore.

  • Can't delete iPhone home screen bookmarks

    Hello,
    For some reason, every time I delete a bookmark icon from the home screen (made from mobile safari) it keeps coming back. Is there any way to make this stop happening? It will stay gone for a while, and then come back. Even synching after deleting it doesn't work. Suggestions??

    It sounds like a little glitch in the OS.
    I would try resetting the phone (hold the Home and Sleep keys until the Apple logo appears) and see if that clears up the issue.

  • N8 home screen- profile box displaying area code r...

    Hi,  I have no idea how this happened or how to correct it. I visited American recently (not sure if relevant, but thought it best to include all info), whilst over there the profile display box on my N8 home screen started displaying the area dial code of whatever area I was currently in. I assumed this had something to do with roaming, I did try turning my phone on and off in case it was a weird glitch, but the issue remained. Upon returning back home to the UK the issue is still with me.
    When I unlock the phone the profile display correctly displays the selected profile (e.g silent, general, offline etc), but within a few seconds switches to showing the dial code of the area I happen to be in. I know this isn't a massive issue, but I do find it more useful to know which profile my phone is in rather than the dial code for landlines in any given area. As a general rule, I don't just randomly call landline numbers of people I don't know just because I happen to be in the area, which as far as I can tell, would be the only situation in which this info would be useful.
    I have tried googling the issue but couldn't find anything. Am really hoping that I am just being stupid and this is quite easy to resolve, but I really couldn't think of how to do it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Happy to help
    No need to apologise, the option doesn't give many clues to what it does. It's an old feature left over from the early days of phones that's irrelevant in many countries now, except for those that really need to know the area code (for calling costs etc).

  • Iphone5 screen glitch after update to iOS 8.1.1

    my iphone screen glitch after updating to iOS 8.1.1.

    You need to be patient. There is no need to post again within minutes of the first post. Try force closing the App Store app and then reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
