How do I remove the dock from the bottom of the screen on an iPhone?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
It's not a non-jailbroken or hacked phone. It wasn't on it when I got the phone. Checked with a friend who has same phone, they don't have it either. If you buy a new phone from the shop, the icons are visible but not the dock/glass shelf
Many thanks to yourself and hexonxonx for responding to my post. I took the phone into a phone shop today to ask them if they had come across the issue before. They said that if I had upgrading the operating system recently, that could be the reason it reappeared. I had upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.1 and had also upgraded iTunes. It was the day after i synced that the dock appeared. I'm assuming that it may due to the above, that the dock is now visible as my phone is not hacked or jailbroken. (I'll check with my friend to see if it is less visible because of their wallpaper).

Those 4 apps are suppose to be there.
Thanks for your response. I know the 4 apps are suppose to be there and you can customise them. However you can get rid of the dock/glass shelf they are sitting on. This is what I am trying to do.
You'e welcome.

No you cannot - not with a non-jailbroken/hacked iPhone.
Regardless, what difference does it make? It is a glass shelf for crying out loud which doesn't change or affect anything. There is not a setting to reveal or not reveal this glass shelf.
Unfortunately, you can't hide the dock. The iPhone does have limits on what you can and can't do with it. There are more phones that are 100% customizable but the iPhone isn't one.
