^Yes workarounds have been repeated "ad infinitum".
There's even some documented in the universal guide.
But the root cause needs to be addressed once & for all.
Otherwise we'll just continue to get threads like this...

They need to know it's still an issue, & they may want to gather some info from you.
They'll prolly help you with a more elegant workaround in the meantime.
Once fixed no-one will have resort to this "manual fix" anymore.

is there a link? im on my n9 and cant see the link

Already giving up trying to report this! Bugzilla: can not browse! search can't find it there!

sign up on the developer forum, they send me an email, follow link, try and sign in and it won't let me! Request a new password and it says email was sent but i never get one!!

Has someone got a link to the bug that was reported?

I'll see if I can find it when I've got a minute within the next 12hrs.

Thanks Jalyst. I hadn't allowed searching for "All" but still couldn't find it! there are so many!

I had to flash my N9 for another reason. But flashing cured this problem here too. All my settings survived, just had to reinstall the apps I wanted.

Pretty sure this is it, there may be other similar reports in the tracker.
Read the first few posts there, & see the other TMO threads referenced there.
Also read the other threads/posts that those threads link to...
Your issue is slightly different now from what I can tell, but it's definitely closely related.
The report can be re-opened, & this thread + other new ones can be referenced.
They may say you have to lodge a new report at the Nokia dev forums.
But this is close enough to the original issue that they should monitor it from #566.
If you re-open make sure you change the version number, that you vote, & that your email address is added etc.

thanks again Jalyst, after reading the bug report it does sound similar but not identical. hopefully they will get back to me soon!

I might have to start a folder soon with all these dead icons in! at least we have folders now!

I'm tempted to do a computer reflash rather than a OTA update, but I'm not keen on using third party flashers and the Nokia updater software will not reflash the current firmware like you could on the older phones i.e. on the N900 you could connect up and reinstall the firmware you were running!
