Some of my icons keep disappearing over and over. I put them back and then after a while they are gone. Anybody seen this happening or know of a fix? I also notice some apps get completely removed from my tab.

Are they installed onthe SD card?

Mine is doing that as well.
Actually yes they are in the sd card, but they auto installed themselves into the sd card; i didn't do it. But still, why do they disappear when they're installed the sd card?

It's getting fkin annoying to say the least.
I have a feeling it's moving apps around when you insert a microSD, extremely pointless
Maybe its the toothfairy? Or hipnotoad?
Maybe there is no spoon after all?
It's happened to me at least four times. I'm trying to nail down what the issue is, I have a suspicion that the way the icon was added makes a difference.
Adding it from the main screen versus holding down on the app icon in the app screen, though I've yet to confirm this.
Move to phone, problem solved.
I know but still. I'm sure there's a way to fix it.

I'm having the same issue as well...with widgets too...plus I get apps moved around on my screen after a reboot. I removed OCLF thinking that might have something to with it, glitch maybe? So far rebooted 4 times and no issues...i don't know, but terribly annoying indeed!

Did u use Apps 2 SD? This happens when I moved from phone to Internal memory using this software. Even though I have re-added the icons, it will disappear again in the next reboot.
To me the only solutionis to move back to Phone memory
The icons stay when using launcher Pro
I removed OCLF and haven't had any issues since...who knows...
Thanks for offering help/options everyone!

If you are using Apps 2 SD (and you move the apps that are missing to your SD card) when you reboot your device if you have a lot of data on your SD card (like me) it does take awhile for the SD card to process everything onto your SGT.
I have the same problem Had to transfer all my apps back to the phone.
Same issue here, move back to telefone memory help, but final solution?
same problem here ... stock jpy bln kernel, no lag fix..
I was having the same problem and was told to download Launcherpro..since that, nothing has disappeared since.

Thanks for the reply. I did that a lot of times and i got nothing even the shortcuts in home screen went missing but the apps are still in applications list though.

Did you move the applications to the SD card? This happens to me, if the application was moved into SD card, it just disappear whenever I restart the phone.

No, no it's a problem or bug, is the way Move to SD works. Apps which have widgets can't be moved to SD
Did the obligitory search and could only find threads telling people to wait till 2.2, now that I have it how do I install apps to the SD card??
I'm sure its something easy, but I cannot find out how.

Go to settings, applications, manage applications. Select the application you want to move and if it can be moved to your sd card it will give you that option. I don't recall the names of them but there are applications in the market that list which applications you have that can be moved and will help you do that.

Titanium Backup will allow you to move almost all of your user apps onto the SD regardless of whether the developer wanted it or not. Highly recommend you use the "Pro" version or it may take a while to process.
I will have to check out that titanium backup.. Is it a paid app?

Don't supposed you'd be willing to PM me on how to use TB? I've downloaded the most recent version of Pro I could get my hands on, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

Menu > Batch
What Top Nurse said. You can move many more apps with TB than with the "standard" mechanism in settings.
To move an app individually, press-hold the app in the backup list, and a context menu will pop up. If TB thinks it can move the app, the move to SD button will be available.
Or, as mentioned above, you can have all the eligible apps moved via a batch operation.

At the moment I'm using 329.17mb of 484.80mb on the phone, then 12.09gb of 14.73mb on my SD card. I recently changed over from Syndicate Frozen to Bonzai4All and my phone is plenty snappy. I've got a handful of apps running via SD through AppMonster telling me that I can have them running from there as I installed them. I don't know if there is a standard or recommendation as to how much memory on the phone itself I should keep free, but as far as I can tell, I'm not experiencing any lagging issues whatsoever. No offense again Syndicate (was running 1.0.1, then 1.0.2 came out after I swtiched to Bonsai) but Bonsai is definately faster and the transition couldn't have been easier.

I just installed my first custom rom on my epic. It was Bonsaii4all 3.01. It is a wonderful rom.
I was a flashaholic with my Touch Pro2 (Go EnergyRoms) but have had trouble rooting my Epic. Finally got the drivers to recognize my phone and I'm lovin the change. I use App2sd to put apps on SD but I'mm going to try Titanium as I have that already. Rom Manager sometimes freezes my phone.
Dumb question: when you install apps to the sd card, if/when you wipe your phone, will it automatically find them and set them up, or do they have to be reinstalled or restored?

I have this weird behaviour, that some app-icons in folder (not widgets) from apps i have moved to sd via settings (not app2sd) disappear after reboot. I have to kill the "Home" task and then they reappear. The apps also still listed as "installed" under settings->applications. Does anyone can confirm this or is my device buggy?
I allready tested different sds to make sure that the sd is not corrupt.

Icons are missing is always market cache. Go to settings/applications/mange applications/all tab/market. Then delete cache. then reboot. Always works. sometimes needs a couple times though.

That doesnt work for me. Some icons still not visible in drawer. I can see that after some time, several icons are added but not all. I have to kill the Home task and then all icons are visible. Maybe I try also lauchner pro. I also contacted SE support and they said i should send the phone to repair.. i think its a softwarebug. i really like the phone and dont want to sent it away for a couple of weeks. I also debugged the phone via adb logcat to check if there is maybe a fatal error accessing the sd, but i saw nothing unusual so maybe the se home app is buggy.
hm launcherpro kinda solved the prob. all app icons are generated in the drawer after reboot, but now apps ive placed in home-folders loosing their icons. it seems that mounting the sdcard after reboot takes too long and apps depending on sd having probs. hope its not a faulty hardware. ill do another test with class10 sd

Anyone know whats going on? I guess this has been happening for about a week. All my old pictures are there, but when I reboot, any new pictures I took will just disappear from the phone
Im also on EC05 / Syndicate 1.2. Never had this issue before though
Ok I did a full wipe... and now it deleted ALL of my pics... Whats going on???
All the folders and other things remained intact, but all my pics from the DCIM folder are gone. Even other pics like icons saved in a download folder are gone.
Always backup your card fire this reason. I had to odin back to stock and then root and reload srf. All my pics stay now. Not sure what caused it. Thought it was because it is a new sd card.

By "full wipe" you don't mean "Factory data reset" under Settings -> Privacy do you?
As far as the original problem is concerned is the issue that the files were actually gone from the SD card or just that they didn't show up in Gallery and what not?
When I said full wipe I meant through CWM, so it shouldnt have wiped my pics out like that. I did do a backup thankfully though its a couple months old so I lost a bunch of things.
Its the same SD card Ive used since November or so. I guess I will format the SD card fresh and then copy over what I had saved.
This problem has returned for me with new pictures. I dunno.
Is everyone having this using a theme?
I think theres a broken framework.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'll ask again... Are the files being removed from the SD card or just from Gallery?
No clue with SRF but "Media Storage" should be running (Settings > Manage Applications > Running Applications).
Clearing the data for this app will clear out Gallery/Music/Video/etc (just the displayed items, not the actual source files). The media scanner should run (scan) shortly after booting and display a notification.
Not sure how to manually fire off the media scanner but if the files still exist and simply don't show up for you then this would be my first troubleshooting step (searching Google for "android invoke media scanner" pointed towards some apps/methods).
Maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't

Pop the card out and put it in a computer. See if the pics are on the card that way. It's possible they are on the card but whatever program you are using to look for them isn't finding them. for instance, if you are using Gallery and you have disabled media scanning then it will never know about new pictures.

It deleted them off the SD card permanently. I have no idea how it was able to do that. Every image no matter where it was saved on the SD card was wiped out.

I tried that after I couldnt save my new pictures several times as well as trying fix permisisons. Nothing worked. I finally did a wipe of everything in CWM and reloaded Syndicate 1.2. When it loaded up all my pictures were gone.
Yeah I started about this in Q&A a couple days ago.
It cant just be a coincidence that its happening to us all at the same time.
Must be something were all trying out thats mmessing it up.
Only thing I can think of that I flashed last was that Heinz theme (which is beautiful if I may say so myself).
Whats the last thing you guys flashed before you got that problem?

Ok I am having a weird issue with my new Atrix.
I am having icons of stuff I downloaded and added to the home screens disappear randomly.
Everything was fine all day, then I just went into my phone and noticed 4 icons on one screen were missing. The apps are still installed, just gone off the home screen. Not all of them on that screen dissappeared, just some of them.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what did you do to fix it?
I've had my widgets disappear but not shortcuts. This usually only happens after a crash and random reboot. I flash different roms alot though so don't know if this is a stock problem.

I'm actually just running the stock launcher the Atrix comes with.
I would love to have the stock GB launcher like what comes on the Nexus S. But I don't think you can just download that from the market.
Go launcher is way better, I suggest you try it. ADW and Launcher pro also have free versions which are much better than motoblur.
Ive had this happen as well. My snes emulator was missing. My phone actually uninstalled it. Hadto reinstall through titanium backup.

ya for me it's the same 3 icons in the same place.
Today I moved all my stuff to a different home screen to see what would happen, and it still did the same thing.
I don't know if this is a GB issue or not. My Atrix already had GB on it when I got it.
I wonder if trying a different launcher would help. I was hoping to avoid using a different run cause I am fine with the stock launcher. I am not sure what launcher to try out. I used to use LauncherPro when I still had a Captivate cause I think TouchWiz looks like it was designed by a 10 year old. But LP seems a bit dated, hasn't been updated in awhile and it just too plain.
I was looking at Go Launcher, that seems like a popular one which offers alot.
Go Launcher used to do this to me all the time. figured out it was happening when the screen was being redrawn going from landscape to portrait mode. each time I would switch modes some icons would be gone and some would come back. theyve fixed this bug finally though in the last couple of versions...
I think when you update an app there's a chance it does this. Im sure there's more to the story but I am stock and its doing as you described but on the left screen from center

I had this problem and it happened fairly often on reboots/power on. Mine wouldnt even show in the app drawer. Tracked it down to apps that were either installed in the Media Area (internal sd card) or External sd card. It usually happened if i started messing with the phone before everything fully loaded. If i waited a little they would eventually show up, sometimes.
If the problem apps are in the Media try moving them back and see if it still happens. I had a lot of apps in Media and external so I ended up doing a back up and then reformatting internal/external storage, then restoring. I haven't had the problem since, but i did move to GB and custom rom about 2 weeks afterwards, so that could have helped also.
I had a similar issue after unlocking my phone and installing a custom kernel. Revert to a lower version of pudding (unlock sbf file) and restore original kernel if u have one

Ok some news to report.
I exchanged my Atrix for another one, and set up a new Motoblur account when I first booted the new phone.
Now for some reason my icons are not disappearing. It's been a day so far and everything is fine.
I don't now if it was the new phone or the new Motoblur account which made the difference. I am thinking it might be the new phone though.
If it starts happening again I'll post another reply.
