Icons moved on home screen, by themselves

Hi. Last night when I went to use my phone, I noticed a few of the apps on my home screen had changed positions. I hadn't synced, my phone had been in normal use throughout the day/night, and no, I hadn't moved them (and it's not like you can move them around without noticing).
Has this happened to anyone else, and is this a bug? I've noticed other odd behavior, such as tapping an app icon and being brought to the basic "search" screen instead, and the phone's absolute refusal to go into landscape mode in Mail and Safari, but this is the "weirdest." I got the phone in June, BTW.

yup, mine move around on occasion too!

  • I have just downloaded ios7 and none of my app icons are showing on the home screen.   In the App Store they are showing as purchases.   How do I get them to show as icons on the home screen?

    I have just downloaded ios7 to my iphone4.   Now none of my apps are showing as icons on my home screen.    What should I do?    This didn't happen when I updated my iPad.

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    The only new icons you can add to your home screen are webclips, which can be added by using the "+" button in safari on the desired web page.
    You won't be able to add new apps until February when the SDK is fully seeded to developers.

  • An app will not completely download from the App Store to my iPhone 5S. Neither can I terminate the download by trying to delete it. The app is useless to me and so I would like to remove the icon from my home screen. How can I do this?

    I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away.  I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma.  Thank you kindly.

    What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
    You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents).

  • How do you create Document Icons on the Home Screen?

    I have an iPad to use exclusively in the kitchen and would like to make my recipes appear as indivdual icons on the home screens with an associated picture.
    For example; Pumpkin Soup
    I would like to create an icon with a picture of pumpkin soup and the same as a title.
    When you tap the Pumpkin Soup icon a page appears with instructions and perhaps a picture or two.
    So my question is: What are my options for creating these stand-alone icons that bring up a page that describes a recipe/document.
    I understand that there are many 'recipe' apps avaliable, but none that I've encountered have the ability to save individual recipes as icons on the home screen.
    I dont care whether I use a recipe app or some other processing/publishing app to achieve this.
    I would very much like the recipe/document to appear on screen crisp and clear without program formatting around it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I'm aware of the Safari shortcut, but was hoping there was a document, etc shortcut.
    Thank you for your reply James Ward4

  • How to set multiple mail icons on the home screen for each email account?

    Hello Everybody,
    I have multiple e-mail addresses setup on my iPhone, but only one mail icon on the home screen. Is it possible to have multiple mail icons on the home screen that are tied to each individual email account?

  • Car icon on E72 home screen

    A car icon has appeared on my home screen, and I cannot find any documentation as to what it indicates. It is displayed below the notifcation area, where other icons such as the ones for the alarm, bluetoooth and wifi connectivity, and unread mail are displayed.

    I got the same car icon on the home screen once my E72 is connected to my car over bluetooth.
    Did you pair your E72 with your car? You or someone must have done that before. Please check.

    Just picked up a Tour over the weekend. I had a curve previously which had 18 icons on the home screen.
    I searched the web and found a theme for purchase for 5 bucks that restored the ability to have 18 icons on the home screen again.  here is the link  http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=37482&n=18-Icon

    How can I hide icon from my home screen?

    Hi pearlyxiel,
    If you have apps on your Home Screen that you don't use regularly and would like out of the way, you may want to create a folder for them and move them to a later screen. You can either do this from iTunes or directly on your iPhone, as outlined in the following articles:

  • Remove or add icons to the home screen

    I would really like to get rid of a couple of the pre-programmed icons on my home screen. I'm sure You-Tube paid hansomely to get their name in front of me every time I turn on my phone, but I have no use for it.
    How can I get rid of the icons that just bug me?

    This ability, I'm sure, will feature in a future Software Update.
    Email Apple's iPhone Feedback Service (http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html) and let them know about your wants. More emails, means more chance.

  • Is there an icon for face time on the iphone4s home screen? I remember I saw it before but not any more. I still have the FaceTime app,but would like to find the icon on the home screen again. Anyone can help?

    Is there an icon for face time on the iphone4s home screen? I remember I saw it before but not any more. I still have the FaceTime app,but would like to find the icon on the home screen again. Anyone can help?

    Check all of your folders to see if FaceTime is in any of them.
    If not, check your restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) and if restrictions are on, and you know the passcode, then FaceTime might be turned off. Turn ON to veiw icon on home screen.
    Let me know if this does/doesnt work.

  • ITunes and App Store icons gone from home screen

    The iTunes and App Store icons have disappeared from my home screen (and no...I did not inadvertently delete them). Any ideas on how to restore them (and the links)? Thanks...

    "You can't delete them anyway, but you could have moved them to another screen. "

  • I cannot move icons to the home screen

    Pardon me if this is old, but I cannot find it here via search.  I'm new to iPhone, having had Windows phones, Palm, and others in the past.  Just picked this up today.  Slick.  It even makes AT&T look better.  Here's my question.
    I understand tap and hold to make the icons jiggle, then drag.  Only problem is, I can move them to the right but not to the left--to the home screen.  For example, I moved one of the default home screen icons to the second screen, leaving a hole.  Now I'm trying to move an icon from the second screen into the hole I created.  I can drag to the right and create a new screen, but it will not break through to the left onto the home screen.
    Any clues as to what I might be doing wrong?  Thanks.
    Bill

    OK.  My bad.  I searched again and found it.  Drag to the edge and hold it there for a couple seconds, and then it moves.  Please excuse the ring.
