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.

I use Mybackup pro to bring all my apps and contacts back in. I just installed adrynalynn's dl30 and had no flaws with that. I try use Mybackup and it says that "Could not get back up set" I really love this dl30 I hope someone can help me figure this out. Everything else work great. The last thing is can I still use DJ05 themes with the theme fix?

Titanium works fine, but you have to be aware of the apps that should not be restored from a 2.1 build to a 2.2.
The only themes you can use are ones that are made for DL30.

I understand the app thing. Ive already redownloaded my apps, but my contacts and sms are on the data end of it and that part wont work either. This program has worked for every other upgrade ive done. Im thinking there might be a setting or something I missed during boot.

This happened to me too could & I wonder if it has anything to do with voodoo? I think I did my backup before I undid the lagfix prior to flashing dl30. I even did a full wipe of everything twice before flashing too. Didn't have this problem going from di01 to dl09 nonvoodoo.

No voodoo. That voodoo is pita and my phone runs great so I never needed it.

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.
Cheers

i dont have this problem, try restoring/reflashing
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

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.

Which launcher do you use? It used to happen to me on Go launcher. If I exited it from setting it would restart fine. Hasn't happened in a long time though.

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.

This happens on my stock Atrix every now and then.
Between 1 and 4 icons disappear, always from the same screen.

Ya mine is happening on the screen one right from center. I am curious, the next time it happens I am going to move them to another screen and see if it still does it.
It doesn't happen all the time, just every once in awhile, but annoying just the same.
Just curious but are you removing your sd card or have these apps on the external sd card?

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

I have version 2.35, and I'm having this exact problem. I checked for an update, but it's the most current version. Anyone know if a new one is on the way?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
this has happened to me as well.
I noticed that it would happen after certain apps would automatically update.
once the apps update, they're gone from my home screens.
then it drives me crazy trying to figure out what shortcuts were where.
completely stock Atrix.

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.
I've played with a few different launchers for my Epic (currently running CleanGB ROM), and keep running into the same issue. I've used Touchwiz, LauncherPro, ADW Launcher Ex, and Zeam. I have the same problem on all of them -- frequently when I hit the Home key, it takes me to a blank screen and I have to wait a bit for all my icons to reappear. I'm using LauncherPro now and it happens infrequently but still enough to be aggravating.
I'm guessing this means the launcher is either out of memory, or has crashed silently and need to restart? I've used the "keep in memory" setting but that doesn't seem to help. Happens most often if I've been using Navigation.
I want 7 screens with 4x4 icons and 5 buttons in the dock, that's it. Don't need anything fancy, just a lot of screens and icons.
Any recommendations, either for alternate launchers to try or a fix?
Do you have a lot of apps moved to your sd card? If so you may need to reformat it. Back it up, format, restore.

Supercharger script will keep your home in memory. I reccomend googling supercharger script and download and install that, your phone will thank you.

Probably not my issue... I just put CleanGB on my phone last week, and when I did so I reformatted both the SD card and on-phone data storage. That said, yes I do have a lot of apps on SD.

Oh well, it was worth a shot. I have been using Zeam and it is real fast on my phone. Have you tried clearing memory after using navigation with Memory Booster Lite or even the stock task manager?
