[…] from Apple of course, who still haven’t acknowledged this widely-known bug – but from the developers of an individual iPhone app whose users have been affected, […]

In reply to iPhone App Reviewer. As per the first sentence of the post, it's a 3.0 bug. Not sure what 1G firmware is - does that mean 1.x? In any case, it has only been reported on 3.0 as far as I'm aware.

In reply to patrickj. Is this exclusive to one firmware version? 2.0, 3.0? I got a reply on Twitter saying that with 1G firmware he'd never seen it, interesting.

I had this happen once for a couple of apps on my 3GS about a week after launch.

I unchecked them in iTunes, synced to have them removed from the phone, and checked them and synced again. The problem was solved and it hasn't returned since then.

I just experienced this problem myself when I loaded the app Creeps! … which said to reboot after loading … Which I did. Then the icon changed to the Google icon?

In reply to iPhone App Reviewer. Surprised you haven't heard of it - think it's been pretty widely reported over the last couple months. I'd like to see Apple A) say something / anything about the issue B) get it fixed in next .1 update and C) give us some much better page organization options in iTunes 9.

I haven't even _heard_ of this, however maybe Apple will see this and it will further convince them for app page organization in iTunes 9!

There is a temp fix. Delete one of the apps in question off the phone, reboot, then go to the app store (on the phone) re-download that app and while it's downloading, power down the unit and turn it back on. Voila! fixed.
