I just removed my apps (via syncing) and then added them again back to my iphone. All icons were corrected.

Anyone else experience the symptom of your iphone just grinding to a slow crawl after waking up from sleep/inactivity/regular use? It happens randomly but definitely more noticeably once a day.

Where you type something and the letters don't appear right away and then fill in quickly a few seconds later. Or you tap something and it seems frozen but then actually does it after a long delay.

Weirdness and unacceptable. I don't expect beta 6, i think and hope they figured all this bugs out and the release addresses all these missing icon, keyboard, and slow to a crawl issues.

Yeah guys – I'm still seeing this as well – even after a full restore last week. Maybe we'll see Beta 6 tonight and maybe that'll sort it out 🙂

Happens to me. Seems to happen when I add an app from itunes that wasn't loaded on the phone before.

Sometimes a reboot fixes it

Sometimes a reboot crashes while booting, and I have to forcibly shut the phone off and try again.

Then I can't launch any apps until I connect to itunes and do some kind of copy operation whether it be a sync or backup.

Awwww, you bet me to it. I've installed 4 apps and they are all that way.

BeatFreaker – ouch, that really does not sound nice. Hope the next beta squashes this one quick!

Yes I agree because there is no pattern or steps on how it occurs and it also doesn't occur with 100% frequency on applications that it previously happened on. At one point today it corrected itself after a random install. However unlike your issue the restart of the device is not correcting the matter.

BeatFreaker – Yikes, the A & B confusion issue sounds even worse. Maybe we'll see another beta tomorrow to address some of this …

We have been encountering your latter issue as well since the install of 3.0 on many of our own applications. Some will sporadically install without any icon, just text under a blank icon. We are also seeing previously installed app's of our own having the icons changed when another is installed after. For example you install App [A] with the correct icon showing. Then after you install App [B] you will see that now both A & B have the same icon.

This is definitely something they need to look in as this only started to occur with the Beta 5 Release.
