Putting Apps on homescreens

[elemteacher2be]

Lately when I try to put an app onto one of the home screens it just disappears.

When I had folders on my home screen it would put the app in the folder (even if I was trying to put the App on a different screen than the folders.

I figure this is a bug of some sort?

I also tried to put a "shortcut" on a homescreen by pressing down and going through that method, and it did the same thing.

Poof! Nothing there!

I am trying to delete contacts on my Nexus S and when I tap on the delete contact button, it tells me that I can't delete it in "read only" but I can hide it.

I don't know how I am in "read only" or how to change that... so that I can erase these contacts!!!

Please help!

The ones that are read only are Facebook or Twitter contacts, there is no way to delete them in your contact list. The only option is to unfriend/unfollow if you want them deleted. Otherwise the best option is to hide them

You probably shouldn't edit your original post. Took me a while to figure out why an earlier reply didn't answer your revised question. Best to just add a new reply to your thread. Anyway, you asked:

I've encountered this bug a couple of times on my Nexus S. A power cycle (full power off & then back on) cured it for me.

One time I hit this bug the icon really did disappear. Another time it was dropping into a folder & I didn't realize it until a day or two later when I had about 5 copies of the same icon in one of my folders.
