I have a 64GB WiFi and I'm having trouble moving home screen icons to different pages. As soon as the icon would reach the edge of the screen it would just drop back into it's original place.

I am successful 1/10 times or something and it's getting annoying, can anyone else confirm this?
 
Hmm.. I thought this was only me that kept messing up. Now I wonder how many people r also having problems
 
The video is still processing, but I had the same problem until I stopped dragging completely to the edge. I stopped slightly before (possibly where the touchscreen ends). I assume by dragging it off the touchscreen it thought I removed my finger and snapped back into place.
 
I've noticed if you slow down while approaching the edge it works just fine. But going to the edge fast will drop the App back.

This problem DOES NOT occur on the iPhone 3GS.
 
I had this problem yesterday, and it seemed like when I approached the edge, I needed to be sure my finger was IN BETWEEN the rows of icons. If I was ON the row, it wouldn't flip.

Seems to be fine now though, so maybe there is an intermittent problem...
 
Moving slowly is the key. Haven't had a problem since I figured this out. Try it.
 
I did the same thing till figured it out...You move them slow to the edge and then will work just fine...I got frustrated at first and now no problem doing it just take it slow
 
Same problem here. Seems like a bug they need to fix. Moving slowly helps, but it still doesn't work every time for me. Also wish there was an easier way to move many items between screens (on the device, you can multi-select and move in the iTunes interface).

Just like the iphones, you have to slowly approach the screen edge and give it time to interpret the action as an intention to advance screens.
