Anyone else notice their icons move themselves around? Sometimes I look through my icons and notice they've moved around the screen.

please read your manuals, and watch the instructional videos folks -- so that you can actually understand how your phone works

Uh... I think you misunderstood. I'm not a noob, I always read manuals and go through searches. Thanks anyway.

My original inquiry was that the icons on the different pages of the homescreen literally move around. For example, I would have an icon on the bottom of the 3rd page. Later, I would find this icon on the top or middle of the 3rd page, or sometimes, it would move to another page of the homescreen altogether. My issue is that I haven't been moving any icons around or adding anything new to the homescreen, so I'm wondering why the icons sometimes move around on their own.

If someone can shed some actual light on this, I'd appreciate it.

It's never happened to me (yet), so maybe a buddy is messing with you.

I'll stop hacking your phone now.

LOL, thanks guys. The phone is standard 1.1.3. No hacks of any sort. No one else has been using it either, unless there's an invisible buddy messing with me.

I have had it happened, my mail and phone icon switched places yesterday, it actually did it in front of my eyes......so yes I have seen it and wondered if I did something by mistake.

Posted by: qpid360

You actually saw it move by itself? Haha, if I saw icons moving around on their own, that would've freaked me out.

Posted by: jackthejanitor

yep, I hit my home button and looked down and they had switched, kinda weird my bottom row now goes mail, phone, safari, and ipod.

edit: and just so everyone knows, it was not in the mode to where I could rearrange icons, I guess my icons just needed a fresh view point or wanted to trade apartments and did it on their own.

i've held down an icon too long by mistake to the point where they all start jiggling, maybe you guys did that and then moved something over without noticing.

Posted by: jackthejanitor

Arden, In my last post I put that it was not jiggling and they could not be moved around, again I had just pressed the home button to bring it out the menu I was in (ipod I think it was)

lol actually, i dont know if my icons have moved because i already forgot their original location, but i notice that at least daily i pick up and extra page, and the next page is just blank....huh!

Another thing I sometimes notice us that certain icons would become dark. Once I tap and open them, they brighten up again. I don't think it happens only to icons seldom used because it happens to icons I tap everyday as well.

I think my iPhone is haunted.

I think the "time to jiggling" is too short. Its about a second. Should be more like 2-3, IMO. I can easily see it happening by accident to some people.

i've had my phone and e-mail buttons switch places... it usually happens when the phoen is in standby then i press the home button and swipe to turn the screen on and see they've switched... i know i didn't do it. it's happened a few times so far.

ok this has been pretty consistent and maybe you guys can try it on ur phone and see if it happens to you too. everytime i power down the iphone and i power it back up, one of the icons disappears and appears on the second page, huh!

....sigh...have you apologized for being a pompous *fill in the blank* yet?

lol, yeah mine just did it,i have the 16gb and its never done that before on my 8gb :/

Gotta love how everyone here assumes it's your fault. It's just like going to the genius bar!

Unfortunately, the iPhone has its fair share of bugs. I don't know why anyone would be surprised by this topic.

Posted by: t-bone-t

My 8GB won't do it. The icons stay put after sleeping or restarting.
