Unable to hide home screen icons

Having updated my Bold 9900 to the latest Vodafone supported software a couple of weeks ago (just after I bought it) I have been unable to hide icons on the home screen. When I try to hide all they drop but leave the top 2 rows showing. they all pop up as expected when commanded to so it must be some software glitch ? Anyone else having this issue ? apart form the common Battery life issues ? I have searched through many pages on this forum to seach for similar posts but not spotted any.
I want to believe

I have worked this out on the 9900. You simply touch the screen to open up the menu. When it is opened, simply touch the menu header and drag it down to show the desired number of rows. One or two, or pull it down till they all go down to show no icons!

Why does my home screen icons automatically get bigger

As soon as I turn my iPhone 4s on the home screen icons increase in size automatically and then I am unable to use the bottom of the screen on the home screen and on many apps. Any way to stop it from doing this? Thank you

I wanted to also mention that I have gone to Accessibility and made it where it does not zoom with the three finger tap. That does not fix my problem, but I will say I have to have this feature turned on in order to use the bottom row of my keyboard. I am able to get to the characters/letters that I need if I zoom in. That and flipping my screen to landscape are the only things that have allowed my phone to function until I can upgrade.

Custom Home Screen Icons

I was wondering how difficult it was to create Home Screen icons for sites (like Apple and Yahoo! have).
I am a web designer and graphic artist but I'm not an "app developer." It seems it would just be a matter of creating a square graphic and somehow coding it to download when the "Add to Home Screen" is clicked.
Is this out of my league? Has anyone here made any?

In case anyone else is interested, you just need to create a 57x57 pixel graphic file, saved in PNG format, and named apple-touch-icon.png to place in the root directory of your web site. The iPhone will round the corners and add the glossy-looking overlay to the icon.
If you don't have access to the site's root directory, you can add a link to the file in the head of your HTML page... for example: *<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/apple-touch-icon.png" />*
Keep in mind, they look best when kept simple.

IOs Home Screen icons in Muse

Hi,
I was just wondering how you would export a Muse site with a built in iOs Home Screen icon, enabling those viewing a web page to bookmark a site with custome icon?

Perhaps this is something that could be added for a future release. It is not a complicated feature to add with some simple CSS but if most of us could do that we wouldnt be paying to use Muse. this could very easily be added to the favicon options under "page properties".
Also considering somewhere north of 70% of all mobile web traffic is iOS based Muse should make some consideration to optimize itself to effectivley display and function within the iOS ecosystem. Adobe and Apple may not have the friendliest of track records but those of us looking to turn a profit need it, and Adobe makes a profit off of us so.......think about it?

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.

Arranging Home Screen icons with ios7

Is their any way to manually arrange Home Screen icons with the new ios7? Since updating, new app icons are sent to a sencond scree. I prefer to have them in alphabetical order, but can't seem to do it now. Any thoughts and/or suggestions?

Tap and hold down on any icon, until they start to shake, then just drag them around.
It works the same way it did on iOS 5 and 6.
To move them to another screen drag them to the side of the screen, and hold them there until the screen changes, you can then drag it around that screen.

Lost home screen icons after ios 6 upgrade

All home screen icons (except computer and setting) disappeared after upgrade to ios 6

FYI - AppleTV update was to 5.1 not 6.
Just having Computer and Settings is usually a sign that you're AppleTV doesn't have an internet connection.
Go into Settings>General>Network - does the device have an IP address, is it an address similar to other devices on you're network?

IPhone Home screen icons

When I create a home screen icon most of them place a custom icon on the home screen, usually with the websites logo. But a few of them just place an icon with a shot of the whole page.
Is there a way to request or create a custom home icon from a site?
In particular I'm looking for one for the Royal bank of Canada website at either:
www.royalbank.com
or
www.rbc.com

The website your are visiting must have a webclip icon stored on their server... You can try contacting them to see if they will add one... Here is what they need to do:
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.

Home screen icons darkening

Has anyone seen there home screen icons darkening slightly? As if they were being pushed?
Sometimes my calendar and phone icons do it.

Curious, I actually noticed that my phone icon was 'darkened' as if it had been pushed. When I did touch it the app immediately loaded and when I clicked back to home the icon was normal again. When I first saw it I thought maybe the backlight in the bottom corner was off/out but it was definitely stuck in the 'touched' (??) state.
So.. you're not alone.

HOME screen icon problems

On a web page everytime i click the + button to add it to home screen, it works but now all my icons for each one i bookmark are the same. They used to be snapshots of the webpage mostly or an official icon like google etc. Now its a set of weights for the icon which is annoying as now i ave about 7 with the same icon.
Any help would be appreciated

Here is the problem. If the web site does not have a custom made icon in the 'root' directory of their web server, the icon will look like the web page you are bookmarking.
If you want to add an iPhone/iPod touch Home screen icon for your website, create a 57x57 pixel .png image file, name it "apple-touch-icon.png" and upload it to the 'root' directory of your server.
Here is one I created for Macsimum News.
Here is what it looks like on the screen. The iPhone/iPod touch automatically scales the round corners on the image.

Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

Quick Question about home screen icons?

I just upgraded from the 3g to the iphone 4 and was wondering if there are supposed to be home screen icons for Voice Control and FaceTime?

There are no icons. In Settings > Phone you can activate or deactivate FaceTime: Turn FaceTime on or off.
To activate Voice Control, press and hold the home button.
The iPhone iOS4 User Guide can help a lot.

New 1.1.3 feature to move home-screen icons to second page stops working

The cool new iPhone 1.1.3 update feature whereby you touch a home-screen icon for a second or so, and can then customize it's location, by moving it around, including moving to a second home page screen stopped working.
I can still customize the position of icons within a particular home screen, but I can no longer move them from home screen to home screen.
There is a work around, I can shuffle the icon down on to the main icon bar at the bottom, then shift to the second screen, then move the icon onto the second screen from the icon bar at the bottom.
The problem was triggered after I had populated some icons onto a second home screen page, then subsequently removed all icons from the second page - after the number of icons on the second page had hit zero, I couldn't then move more icons back onto it.
Seems like a minor bug - that can be worked around, by shuffling icons down to the button of the screen via the icon bar, but something that should be fixed.
I have not yet tried a cold-reboot, or a system restore on iTunes.

FYI - reboot didn't fix it - I'll do a system restore over the weekend - no doubt that will reset its state sufficiently and the problem will go away. Will be interesting to see if it returns.

Editing title bookmark on home screen icon

I added a few home screen icons that are bookmarks for Safari. I realized after seeing them on the home screen that the titles are too long and a truncated. How do I edit the titles after creating them

That is a very temporary patch to solve this surprising (and stupid) problem. The real issue is: how come bookmarks (favorites) are truncated at only 40 characters, once synchronized on my PC !? It must be iCloud that imposes that limitation.
Even worse : hundreds of Windows Explorer favorites I had saved, years before I installed iCloud, have also been truncated!! I will have to ask my technician to reload my favorites from our company backup, and then clean up iCloud's mess manually, one favorite at a time.
But, first things first : uninstall iCloud !! (unless someone knows a better solution...)

Home Screen Icon Setup

I've looked but can not find it. I'm interested in setting up the icons that appear on my home screen. Is that possible? Can I customize which individual icons I will see?
Look forward to reading this board!!!

That depends. Are you talking about the physical look of you icons? If so they cannot be changed unless you change your theme. If you want to change what icons appear on your homescreen you can do that. You can click on an icon with the berry key and click hide. This will make the icon "disappear". You would then have to click the berry key and select show all to see the hidden icon. What I recommend and what I do is create folders on my homescreen. Click on the berry key and select add folder. You can give the folder a name and change the color of it. I have one for games and one for all my other icons I don't regularly use. That way they are not clogging up my homescreen but they are still easily accessable. Just click on an icon with the berry key then select move. Drag it over to the folder and click the trackball. That easy! Please let me know if you need more help.
