Why does my apps keep disappearing from the home screen?

[s.perkins]

Hi, I recently purchased a sony tablet s and have downloaded some aps for my daughter. I add them to the home screen then when finished turn down the system. When we go to use it again some of the apps have disappeared? they are still on the tablet but in the apps and widgets section. Why does it do this?

Also when we are loaing up the tablet the sony icon flashes on, goes black then the swirly gold screen comes on.This process repeats itself about 5 times before it allows you to unlock it. Surely this can't be right? Can it?

Thanks for any help or advice

Hi s.perkins,

Assuming you are referring to just the 'swirly' screen going black and then reappearing a few times before the desktop appears then this is normal. If the Sony logo keeps reappearing then this is not normal.

Disappearing icons is a known issue with the latest Tablet S OS update and there have been a number of posts on this subject. Here is one such thread.
