I was just curious how many have had the glitch in 3.0 where you have the wrong icon on an app. I know this has been discussed before but considering this happens every time i hard reset my phone to at least one icon and the only real solution is sitting through the 40 minute - hour long restore process, I was wondering if it was even worth calling apple and telling them or just be patient for the next update? Am I just being fussy? Any response would be welcome and if this is deemed as a repeat post, feel free to close it. Thank you for your time. :)

i've had this issue before on my 3GS. What i did was connect the phone to itues, and unsync/remove the app from my phone through itunes and then reinstall the app. That worked and placed the right icons with the right apps. I didn't have to do a restore. Since then everything has been fine, but i am a little hesitant to do another restart b/c it may happen again. But the fix was easy, just uninstall/reinstall the app through itunes. Hope this helps.

I'll second that. I did the same thing a few weeks ago and it resolved my mixed up icons as well. No restored needed.

Had the problem last night ( and a few times before ) deleting it off the phone and resyncing ( usually ) fixes ti straight away.
