    I have only seen this happen with cracked apps and that is not allowed to be discussed in MMI. If this isn't the case, restore your iPhone again, do not update, and set your iPhone up as a new phone. Do not restore from backup in iTunes. Make sure sync Applications is selected and sync.

    This happens when you had icons hidden or in categories and then restored from back-up in iTunes. The springboard.plist remembers which apps were hidden.
