On your iPhone remove an app that has incorrect icon (preferably one that has no data stored on your iPhone). Download and install the app again from the App Store. As the application is being installed, hold the power button and turn off your iPhone. Turn your iPhone on and you will have all applications icons back to normal. The application you were installing is installed as well. Works for me, hope for you too! Good luck!

just delete one of the applications and go to the application store and downloaded again. When start downloading again turn off your phone. When it finished the downloading you will have all your icons back.

Have exactly the same problem on my new 3GS phone with O2. One day everything was fine next the icons are all messed up. The Apps still work but just really annoying.

I dont think it’s a problem with any specific application. It’s a bug with iPhone OS rather than any 3rd party application. Moreover I haven’t seen this bug reoccur after I have moved to iPhone OS 3.0 GM build for my iPhone 3G.

Same problem. For about a third of my apps, the icon is half white. Some of the icons have been switched. I have restored with the latest software and the same problem re-occurs. Also, deleting a problem app and downloading again from the app store has not worked either. The only thing i can think of is that I switched the sim card w/ my old 3g phone rather than activate the 3gs through at&t.

I haven’t experienced this problem after I moved to iPhone OS 3.0 GM build. It was a common occurrence on 3.0 Beta 5. Mine is a iPhone 3G. Not sure if this bug is still there for iPhone 3GS.

FYI – I am experiencing this as well. I have the iPhone 3G S w/ v3.0. It occurred when I pressed the home button within the BOA mobile banking app. I removed the app, turned off the phone, turned it back on, sync’d it, reinstalled the app through iTunes, re-sync’d, restarted… All with no success. Now, I’m grumpy.
