IPhone Apps Moving with new update

Question

I'm not sure if anyone else on the planet has this but let me breifly explain. Before updating to the new 5.0 update I was able to take all of the apps and move them one page to the right which allowed me to have a "wallpaper" of my beautiful sweetheart free of apps covering the entire picture. Life was good before I updated; simple and I felt in control of my phone. Now Apple has added language to the new update which apparently recognizes this "blank" page and for some reason this annoys the fine folks at Apple so they've made it so that the Apps slide back to the left. With seven pages already of Apps this is extremely disappointing (okay, I've even cussed it so maybe more than disappointing) to manually go in and move the Apps back to the right, starting from the last page and moving that page one to the right and then so on and so on until the first page is again blank. Problem is when I shut down or plug in my phone to the computer the powers that be decide to undo my handy work, and I'm not sure but I see quite a bit more "crashes" with my Apps moved one page over. Point is, I bought the phone, I bought most of the Apps (I admit, I have some freebies as well), I pay my bill so why is language being introduced that takes control of my phone and arranges it how Apple sees fit. Last time I checked I was able to make decisions for my self and the property "I" own. So my question would be that of anyone else having this problem and what solution (if any) they've found to solve this issue.

Answer 1

I can't say anything about my iPod but I'm almost certain I did this as well (iPod Touch, 32mb, not sure which operating system as I only use it in the car now days since I can also play all my songs from my phone). As for the previous version 4.0 I know I could move all to the right with the blank page and was able to turn off the phone and re-power it and the apps would stay where I had them arranged. I could also connect to the computer without it arranging them during a sync if I was careful not to mess with the settings on the applications portion inside the sync.
I know this is just trivial and I'm not sure anybody else I know of has done what I've done as far as moving all apps one page to the right or why this would seem to be such a big deal but as stated earlier I use that front page as a wallpaper with my sweethearts picture and with the infatuation I have with her it's pretty important to me.
