Very nice tip indeed! I had Pinball Fantasies, Dropship and iBeer with the wrong icons so I removed Dropship and while downloading it again I turned off the iPhone and when powered it back on again all three icons was back to normal :3

I found that if I just go to the app store, pick any app, powerdown during the install, when the phone turns back on, all is good. Then I just delete the app I picked for the fix…

No need to delete and reinstall any of the apps you already have on the phone!

Man you just saved me about an hour worth of time with this fix. I have 9 pages of applications and I was about to loose my mind. Just like you said as soon as the phone says installing shut her down and power her back up and everything was perfect and the app finished installing and everything is fine. Took all of five minutes very happy. Thank You!!!

@Ryan Thanks Ryan, your method works perfectly! For those who are worrying about losing saved data, try Ryan's method! Just to clarify step 1, you do NOT need to uninstall the apps with the wrong icon. Pick one of the useless apps you have, remove it (press and hold its icon and press the X button), then reinstall and as soon as the loading bar shows up, hold power button and slide to power it down. Once you reboot everything will back to normal.
