One of My BlackBerry Icons Disappeared, Where Did it Go?
Posted on 2008 under BlackBerry Troubleshooting |
Most likely you will experiment with your icons on the home screen of your BlackBerry device by moving them around, and when you do that you may find that one or more of your icons are actually not there on the home screen anymore.
This is probably simply because the icon was moved into a separate folder. Depending upon the BlackBerry theme you are using you should be able to bring the icon back to the home screen by finding it, and using the up arrow folder.
First look through your folders until you find the icon that you are missing.
Then, once you have located the icon, move the icon to the folder with an up arrow on it to send it back to the home screen.
That should be all it takes to get your lost icon back to the home screen.

what if one of my icons dissapeared from my home screen, AND its not in any of the folders? I updated my blackberry messenger and when i did, the blackberry messenger icon dissapeared. The only place i can find it (on my tour)is when i click on another icon, select ’switch application’ and then it appears on the mini menu bar that comes up. there’s no way to hit options from there, i can only select it. so i cant move the app to my home screen. How do i get it back?

I had the same problem. i have a bold 9780.
my bbm and bb appworld icon went missing. could see both in my application folders.
I phoned blackberry and spoke to 4 diff operators, they tried everything, nothing worked. They told me there is a glitch in the operating system…and the phone should be taken to the nearest network provider shop, so they can re-install my o.s!
what i did was, i deleted both bbm and bb app world out of my application folder, i downloaded bb app world 3 times with no success, the 4th time it was a success, from the app world i downloaded bbm again and all is sorted. Blackberry and RIM really needs to work on this problem,,,,,,i had it with my 8520 aswell.
Hope this helps!

I encountered the missing BB App World icon in Japan on my BB Torch 9800 while on vacation! Was really desperate as I also lost the BBM icon. With the help of a family member, I used the BB Browser and got to http://www.blackbery.com/appworld. I click on “Download it Today”. The BB App World icon came back on. I proceeded to enter my BB Id download the BBM app and everything was OK. Hope this helps.
