How do I place an app on my home screen? When I press on the screen all I get is the choice to work on wallpaper. My updated my map app and now I cannot put it on the home screen.

From the list of apps, long-press the one you want on your home screen; it should then switch to your home screen, and you can move the app wherever you want ... 'let go' of the app to place it.

do what tikibar1 said, and move it all the way to the edge of the screen if you want to scroll to the other screens before you drop it where you want it.

It does not work - the only that that I can place is the new beta navigation ap. the map app will not engage when I hold it down

map is not even a choice of an app - only "directions and navigation" which is a short cut to a location on a map. i tried to uninstall the update but it did not restore the old map icon
