Missing icons

[dabl198327]

Has anyone had any instances where your phone is restarted and once it's finished you notice any missing icons? It does it to me all the time and idk what it could be. Any ideas?

it would be helpful if you told us:

-which icons?
-from where? (homescreen? app drawer?)
-is it always the same icons?

i've never seen this on mine

I've had this happen on a couple of occasions. Various icons on home screens and app drawer disappear but their titles remain. If you select the missing icon area the app still opens. I have an application, System Panel Task Manager, I use for system monitoring, app backup, etc. I just hit "end all" in the task manager which restarts TouchWiz and the icons are back. I didn't have to erase data to get the icons back. (Wouldn't want to set up my home screens again) Not sure why they disappeared, but it hasn't happened again in a while.

I don't know if this is the same thing but I having a similar problem I am on T-Mobile and I am rooted and I thought root was causing this or the stock ROM I was on

but I would reboot the phone with an app like Quick Boot or C Boot (I think it was called) and all my apps would be out of their folders but the folders still remained

But if I rebooted by the device power menu the apps will stay in their folder

So like now if I wanna get to recovery from an app I would make sure to “save” my setup with the device menu first then reboot with an app...

I'll try this because it's happened to me numerous times and I have to restart the phone. Thanks for the help sir!

Yea happened to me too. A few times an icon will not show up like in TouchWiz. Doesn't happen if I use another launcher. So like someone suggested restarting TouchWiz usually fixes it.

Yep. Happened to me once. Reboot didn't fix it. I ended up going into recovery and wiping the cache to fix it.
