You’ve got to reinstall Categories and then delete every app from the folder and then the folder manually…

Afterwards you can uninstall it without any problem

Today I reset all settings on my phone instead of just network settings like i meant to, and all the sudden my folders are empty. I can’t find my applications that were in the folders anywhere. They are still on itunes, and if i do a search for them i can find them. I do have iphone explorer, is there a way to fix this? oh and I did try uninstalling and reinstalling

Does having apps in categories effect the way spotlight searches. It seems after i installed categories spotlight will only search by first letter of the app.

Still having issues with the latest release of Categories. I have wiped everything pertaining to Categories from my phone. From there I install it fresh and launch the app… seems fine. When I ‘Add’ a folder it does not show up within Categories. I basically can not add any apps to the folders that I create because they do not show within Categories. The folder DOES, however, get created on my Springboard and I have to manually delete it through SSH.

Anyone else seen this?

@Irv: You can hide the icons in SBSettings…

This deals with the current, not Beta version. I notice that some files, specifically iPhone nativie files like Camera, Photo, Weather etc have 2 issues if you try to place them in a folder.

First is that the icon that shows is the default ? icon in Categories and not the actual icon. However when you place it into a new folder the regualr icon shows up.

The second is that the original icon, that was on the Springboard page, still remains there even after you reboot the phone. Basically I have a Camera icon on my Springboard and in a folder.

I didn’t have either problem when I was on V3.01 but now I have it on V3.1.2. BTW my Modem Firmware is 05.11.07.

Is this a bug others have experienced? Will you have a fix for this in the new version?
