Duplicate Grey Icons

[That-Guy]

A friend at work has just updated to the GM version of iOS 7 on his iPhone 4, it was a full restore, setup as new iPhone without restoring iCloud Backup.

He downloaded the Gmail app along with another app from the app store and the app icons appeared twice while they were downloading and the second of each turned grey after the apps had completed installing.

My questions are:

One:
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Two:
His home button is faulty (hardware fault) is there anyway to restart the phone without it? At the moment he has to let the battery completely drain then plug the phone into the charger so it switches back on.

Thanks in Advance peeps

Home button? Press and hold the lock button then slide to power off.

It's the sleep/wake button that does not work.

Just an update on this, he let the battery drain so the phone re-started when he plugged the phone into the charger. The duplicate icons have now gone.

He has ordered a new sleep/wake button from eBay to fix the hardware fault too

Afaik there's no replacement for the way how you turn the phone off. But if you turn on Assisstive touch in settings>general>accessibility, he can at least just lock the device

Yeah Assistive Touch is what he has been using its been a life saver, but hopefully by the end of the week the sleep/wake button will be fixed
