IPhone Home screen problems!

Hi,
I have just recently purchased my own iPhone. I was just messing around with the "arrange key feature" when i moved around the main buttons on the bottom. (phone, mail, safari, ipod) Then, i put everything back to the way it was before and didn't move anything around again. Then, once i turn my phone back on after being shut off, the buttons are back in the order i had it in when I was messing around. Could someone please help me figure out how to keep the buttons in the original position.
Thank you!

Going through the activation process again is not required when restoring.
Restoring completely erases your iPhone, and then re-installs the current firmware version. After the current firmware version is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup - which is created and maintained by iTunes, or as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
The backup stores your iPhone settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, call favorites, visual voicemail available on your iPhone, Maps bookmarks, youtube bookmarks, alarms, cities tracked with the weather widget, stocks tracked with the stocks widget, and photos captured by your iPhone - but I wouldn't depend on this one. If your iPhone includes any photos captured by your iPhone, you should import these photos to your computer - the same as with any digital camera. Basically the backup stores everything not included with the iTunes sync process. iTunes content - music and video, contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks are not included with the backup since this data should be available with the supported applications on your computer. And the same for photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

  • Cannot move applications to previous pages from iPhone home screen

    This is a recent issue that I just noticed today. When I press and hold on an app from my iPhone home screen, I can move it around within its own page, or move it to succeeding pages. However, the phone will not allow me to move the app to a PREVIOUS page! It quickly tries to move to the the left, until it resets itself on the current page its on. My only way around this is to synch the apps from iTunes. Has anyone else been experiencing this bug?

    Thanks for the advice, but this still does not work. Again, I've had no problems moving apps between home screen pages until now. This seems to have occurred right after downloading an app from the app store today. I'm running OS 3.1.2, and the phone will literally "pull back" an app I'm trying to move to a previous page, whether I move it to any previous page (currently using four pages of apps at the moment). It will let me move an app to a subsequent page, but then it's stuck there (i.e. it cannot be moved back to the page I moved it from). The only way to move it back is through iTunes. What the heck is going on here?

  • Custom Icon for iPhone Home Screen

    Does anyone know if there's a way to upload an icon to the site so that people can add it to their iPhone home screens? Thanks!

    Hi!
    If you use Business Catalyst you can use the file upload to put the file apple-touch-icon.png to the root. iPhone will then recognize this file when you create a shortcut.
    You can also access your Muse files via FTP (I'm on a Mac and use Cyberduck), and upload the file to the root there.
    Tip: Create your icon in 300x300 pixels with 327 dpi. This will make the icon look really sharp and great on Retina displays.

    1. Is there a way you can point me in that direction? if not, Is apple coming out with an option with this feature?
    No. That would violate to terms of usage for the forums. We would be in big trouble. Speculation of unannounced features s also not allowed.
    2.Then in getting the software, will it void my warranty?
    Yes, hacking the iPhone voids the warranty.

  • Iphone Home Screen button

    So, recently my iphone fell straight into a toilet, literally completely submerged, everything surprisingly works except the home screen button, so I would have to turn of the phone and turn it back on, recently though it starts to work amazingly, but then sometimes it wont, its like 50/50, when it got wet also there was a problem with the dock icons sensing but when I brought it to the mac store they fixed it by, tightening the wires?, if I bring it to the mac store could they fix the home-screen button, its so weird because it works and then it sometimes doesn't?

    There are moisture senors in the headphone socket and the base socket which will now be red.They will take one look at that (they do this first), and then point out that the warranty has been voided by immersion.
    You only option will be an out of warranty replacement for £149.

  • TS1702 iOS home screen problem

    Has anyone had problems with the home screen on the iPhone enlarging so that only a part of it is shown?  The " slide to unlock" bar can't be used then and there is no way to resize the display so the whole screen is visible. And the only way to use the phone again is to reboot by hard reboot as the slider bar to turn off can't be used too.

    Double tap with three fingers.
    Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom OFF.

  • IPhone 3G screen problem? Potentially?

    I dont know if this is an issue or not, but I've just noticed this.
    My iPhone's screen appears to have a border runnign around it of two or three blank pixels. It runs right the way around the edge of the screen. The main image the screen projects shows in full but appears a touch squashed.
    I've reboot and hard reset the phone, but no improvement. I've looked in the settings menu but there is nothing for screen/image size.
    I havent dropped it and there is no water damage. I noticed the screen didnt look right just after i finished a phone call.
    Any suggestions?
    EDIT - Incidentally, i'm running on OS 3.0.1

    so is this a problem? perhaps its such a common one that most people think its normal. i've just got my iphone 3G and i'm pretty certain that it didnt have the border when i just took it out of the box, and today that little border appeared! it is really quite noticeable. ive also tried searching for pictures of the iphone to verify its normality and even on the apple website, under the iphone tab, half of the pictures have it and the others dont. for example, take a close look at the introduction to the compass feature on the 3gs, the screenshot showing the compass has the border but the screenshot with the maps doesnt have it!

  • IPhone home screen is zoomed in and will not zoom out. How do I get it back to normal?

    My iPhone 6 home screen is zoomed in and will not return to normal, How do I get it back to normal?

    If that did not work, then try triple-tapping the home button. If that does not work, then double-tap 3 fingers and hold on the screen, dragging to change the zoom level. If you need to move the screen around to be able to access something to get the device unlocked, then use 3 fingers to drag the screen around after trying to change the zoom level.

  • N97 Home Screen Problems

    Can somebody please help me here, I've just got an N97 as upgrade from N95 and I'm tearing my hair out already.
    The widgets on the main home screen, ie the box you can amend via 'Add Content' with the contacts/calender/mail/camera or whatever ppl want to put there, that surely should shortcut to that partic application? I have the above 4 shortcuts in a horz line across screen but cant access them indiv.
    I just get the option 'Settings/Remove/Change wallpaper' when I touch the box, I get the same kinda problem with the Favourite Contacts box, I cant quickly call or text anyone.
    I must be something really stupidly wrong but it took so long to get the N97 to sync with Outlook properly that I'm getting frustrated.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Solved!

  • Dot shaped widget in iphone home screen

    I'v seen an iphone 6 in one of the showrooms. it has dot floating on the home screen whcih show certain shortcuts when touch, how can I enable this on my phone I'v searched the internet for this and I didn't find any mention about it.

    Hi ahmed@apple, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like Assistive Touch may have been enabled on the iPhone 6 you saw. 
    You can turn on this feature by going to Settings > General > Accessibility, and turning on AssistiveTouch. 
    See the article below for this step and more information about Assistive Touch:

  • IPhone Home Screen Identifier?

    Does anyone know if/what the identifier (variable) is for the iPhone homescreen? For instance on the BB the home screen was always 'bbhome'; is there anything like this on the iPhone?
    Thanks

    Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a better example will help...... A background running app can grab things like lock/unlock events, does anyone know of a way that it could identify if the user was on the homescreen and not in another app?

  • Defaulting to iphone home screen

    Has anyone noticed since the latest upgrade of iphone 1.1.1 that when you are using the browser or itunes store that sometimes the screen will momentarily freeze and then switch by itself to the Home screen (icons)? I was using the browser this morning and when I tapped on a link, instead of going to that link it went to the phones home screen as if I had pressed the Home button, which I didn't. Same thing happened a few minutes ago when I was using the itunes store.
    anyone seen this happen? Any fix that you know of?
    thanks,
    Gary

    Try a Reset by pressing/holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until seeing the white Apple logo which forces a system restart. This does not affect any data or settings.
