Same prob different phone but:
The Answer & Fix !
Quick Short Version:
1. Gather all unused apps into one cluster.
2. Reset the "Home & app drawer" icon button to Off.
This is caused by an app: "Home Screen App Drawer." You can turn it's icon off, but then you no longer have that immediate access to all apps at once. AND you have to go into Settings. (2nd tip at bottom) So here's how to fix all that:
1. Make a list of all the apps you already have out for use.
2. Click the all-apps (problem) button, and make a list of all the rest.
This is only to eliminate dupes, skip if you want.
3. Create a folder for all these unused apps; drag & drop them on top of each other, & label it.
D&D will send you off the page each time, (or you haven't moved it) so once you have a folder its easier to click the + to add. Be sure you have everything.
4. Go to Settings (or long press home screen), Under General > "Select Home, home & app drawer." Leave the upper main two alone, (on) but below > "app drawer icon" to Off, and > OK to set this choice. A pop-up will show, "Home & app drawer is set as default home screen," which means Still, and you want that.
5. You're Done!
What you've accomplished is getting rid of that stupid annoying little pop-up, and the icon with it. Now you have the same thing in a cluster button instead. I leave my useful ones out simply to ease clutter, but you can put every one in (as well) if you want.
Want to do without all this work?
The promised Tip:
Once you have Any clustered folder for apps, a tap opens it, and the + button there is the entire list of apps, in alphabetical order. You can't deal with them there, as with the folder above, but you can add them with the + to use it, then off it again after by dragging it up to "Remove," but be careful not to Trash it, they're pretty closer together.
