Someone just brought an iPhone to me which was missing an icon for the phone on the home screen!    Now obviously this reduces the functionality of the device as a phone somewhat!

Turns out there’s an easy fix though:

Go into Settings, General, then “Reset Home Screen Layout”

You should now have a working phone icon again!

Update: Several reports suggest checking Settings, General, Restrictions as this may also disable the phone icon.   More details on restrictions here:

Update 2: Another tip reported – double tap the home button and look for the icon in the tray at the bottom of the screen.   You can then drag it back from there.

Do you use the official Twitter App on a 3GS iPhone?   Have you experienced problems?   

I thought it was just me until I came across a post on the twitter support pages asking for feedback.    Looks like others are experiencing the same white screen, and then the app closes after a few seconds of loading.

Here’s the support page at twitter:
