    **No App icons on desktop | Reoccurring Issue**

    A few times over I have noticed that my home screen will be blank(no app icons/ folders) and the only way to correct it is to restart the phone. Has anybody had this issue and if so, do you have a better solution to correct it then restarting the phone?

    Kind Regards.

    I also have had this issue, but so far the only way i have been able to recover my icons is to reset the phone...

    Same here. Never could narrow it down to why an how. Hopefully 2.1 will eventually come and it'll take care of itself.

    I was able to consistantly get them to disappear by just opening my keyboard. I uninstalled 'spare parts' and 'checkers' and it seemed to go away. I don't know if either of those caused the problem though.

    I too have noticed that if a background app doesn't start correctly at boot up, it throws everything else into a tail spin...

    Same here

    I have had the Droid go into fits of this twice now, am in the middle of one as I type. The first time I installed the apps I had installed the previous day and it went away; for about a week now it is back. I have uninstalled updated apps from yesterday and still doing it. I am now stripping background apps (Lookout, Missed call) to see if that makes a difference. I love my Droid, I wish it loved me!

    I've had this happen to me today. I just installed WaveSecure and when I tested locking the droid remotely, it caused the icons to disappear when I unlocked it. A simple reset seems to have solved the problem. Let's see if it happens again in the future....
