Icons on home screen re-arranged all by themselves...how?

I have iOS 7.0.4 and I have been having some weird things (at least to me) happen with my iPhone 5. Couple questions: how did my icons on the home screen page get all jumbled around seems all by themselves (happened twice today)I have taken screen shots so I can compare the differences and nope I'm not going crazy..lol
Also wondering if someone has their blue tooth on and or Airdrop on can they transfer photos, files, passcodes, install spyware on a ph that has blue tooth and airdrop off??
Thank you for your help I wish I knew more how these things work :)

You may just need to reset your phone: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
No, you can't get anything "installed" over AirDrop. If your AirDrop & Bluetooth are off, no one has access to anything in your phone. Even when it's on, it asks for permission before any transfers and it's limited to file transfer only; they can't look at anything on your device.

  • 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.

  • Email Icon Notification - Home Screen - Option to remove automatic notification?

    I have a need to remove the automatic email notification on the home screen.
    Would love to know how to remove the option of automatically being notified for every new email but retain the ability to check my emails from the handset.
    Thanks

    You could always modify your Sounds profile to not play a tone and not flash the red LED when you receive a work email on the weekend so you would only see the email when you looked at your phone. 
    Just an idea

  • TS3274 My Ipad display screen is coming up with blue background and pink/purple lines all across the screen. It's also blurry and difficult to see icons on home screen and when apps are opened up. Has anyone had a similar problem?

    The display screen on my Ipad is coming up all blurred with blue background mixed with pink and purple lines. It's difficult to see icons but apps are still accessible. Colors are off and images are very unclear on apps and home screen.
    Has anyone had this problem or any advice on troubleshooting?
    Thanks.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    But it could also be a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Can I permanently place all icons on screen 2 to have an icon less home screen

    Hello all,
    I have moved my icons and folders to screen 2 to remove all icons from my home screen. However after a power cycle they all return to the home screen. Is there any way of permanently setting icons/folders to reside on a secondary screen?
    Thanks
    Mario

    It's been awhile since I've messed around with this, but I don't think it's possible to have a blank screen in between screens that have icons or in front of a screen that has icons. In my experience, it removes the blank, iconless screen.
    I checked the manual and it doesn't mention anything specific about this.

  • The applications icons on home screen are smaller now

    Please help after updating.. the home screen icons .. I mean all applications are smaller now than before ,, I have Q10 so please I need help in making them bigger

    Hi boydds,
    It sounds to me like you restored from an iCloud backup and now the applications are waiting to download. There was a great discussion on apps that are waiting to download that I’m sure will help you out too. It also includes links for resetting and restoring if necessary.
    App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.

  • Editing icons on home screen

    (Apologies if this is in the wrong place - I'm not sure which forum is the best place for this question.)
    To move or delete the icons on the home page, I thought that you had to hold down the home screen button (the only button on the face of the phone) for a few seconds, which would make all the icons get wiggly, and then either click on the tiny X to delete the icon or drag them around the page. I swear I've done it before. But as of yesterday, it doesn't work. I hold down the button and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    To edit the icons on the home screen, tap and hold on one of the icons until they start jiggling around.
    to delete an icon you added to the home screen, tap the x in the corner.
    Once you are done editing the icons, press the home button.
    Hope this helps.

  • Folder for icons on home screen?

    Is there a way to create a folder on the Home Screen? I'm interested in having all my games in one folder so I can open it and select the one I want. I'd prefer to group like items into folders, but can not figure out how to do this.
    I have created multiple screens and have grouped the app icons together, but I'd like to go one step further and put into folder(s) if possible.
    Thanks.

    Sadly, no. But there is this cool type of separation for your apps, the links below:

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Guided Access makes some app icons on Home screen dark

    Hi,
    I've found that when I've used Guided Access on my phone, almost always when I come out of it some of the apps on my home screen are darkened. The screenshot below shows an example (please excuse my ridiculously colourful wallpaper!) You can see some of the apps that are greyed out are iBooks, YouTube, App Store & all the ones in the bottom bar.
    It seems very random which ones go dark. It's not that the app need an update or anything, and the apps still work. Sometimes if I open one of the darkened apps & use it a bit, the icon will go back to normal, but not always. Anyone have any idea why? I know it's not a problem that causes any practical issues, but it just looks wrong & is starting to niggle me. Thanks in advance for any help.

    You could make folders of interest, moving any travel-related into it
    Yep!
    And that involves moving them manually, which is what I do.
    The OP wants it automated, I don't know that I want the device doing that.

  • 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.

  • WebApps Icons on Home Screen?

    Hi Guys,
    Just wanted to know for example if you save the Facebook webapp does it put an icon on the home screen? or does it just bookmark it as an internet fav?
    Many Thanks in Advance

    the web app would be saved as a book mark in the safari app. To get quick access to that web app create a special folder with all the web apps in it and youll get to them quickly. It should be said that any hack that offers an icon on the hompage is not supported by apple and will void our warranty. It will also likely brick your touch too.

  • Alarm Icon on Home Screen

    I somehow deleted the alarm icon from my Home Screen. How do I add this icon back onto the 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 > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?
