I have a problem with installation (not buying) an app. It's appearing on both adw ex and uniwars, both of them are marked as bought in market, but when I try to download it it shows downloading icon in notofications bar for just 2 or 3 seconds and dissapear. I tried it on diffrent ROMS- CyanogenMod7 RC2, DeFrost, RCMixS, RCmixHD, Oxygen 2. Anyway, when I bought Autodesk SketchBook later everything went just good. My phone is HTC desire, with over 1Gb free space on SD and 40Mb+ free on Internal memory, please help.
Try doing it through the site?
Worked! Thank you very much

For probably a few weeks now, I kept noticing my Angry Birds icons, and I think a few others disappearing from my TW screen. (Stock Vibrant Froyo)
It turns out that after an upgrade these apps were automatically placed on the SD card, which isn't mounted when TouchWiz starts up. When TW couldn't find the icons it dropped them.
With the large internal SD of our Vibrant, we don't think about putting apps on the SD card (unlike many other Android owners) It seems some apps are now doing this automatically.
To fix it, go to Settings -> Applications -> On SD and move the apps to "phone" storage.

Awesome man. Thanks for sharing. Ive been really stumped about this for months. Good to know.
Vibrant, Bionix-v 1.3.1, Overstock 2.1, Voodoo...
I'd been running Nookie Froyo Custom 0.6.8 SD v4 on a Transcend 8GB/Class 6 without too many problems except for the wireless cycling. In order to fix that I burned a new card (a different Transcend 8GB/Class 6) with 0.6.8 SD v6 (posted 4/29).
I dualboot so that emmc has stock and SD card has 0.6.8 v6. In order to get into 0.6.8 v6 I have to hold down the 'n' button on boot. This worked on the 0.6.8 SD v4 card without any issues.
My issues are:
1) Reboots in the middle of the night to STOCK.
2) Reboots with alarming regularity while downloading from Market or Amazon App Store. This reboot is usually to 0.6.8 v6 complete with the boot animation. I find this odd because I am not holding down the 'n' when it cycles!
3) Within a session my widgets work. Across a session (after a reboot) I get a black box and an error message in each widget location.
Widgets being run:
- Business Calendar Agenda (4x2 configuration)
- Business Calendar Week View (4x2 configuration)
- Fancy Widget (normal 4x2 configuration with weather)
- Weather Bug (4x1 configuration with location set to a fixed zip code)
- Newsreader (4x1)
- Pandora (4x1)
- SetCPU (1x1)
4) Force Closes of:
- Google Framework
- Market
- Amazon Appstore
I run with my homescreens having 8 rows and 8 columns (if that matters).
Deleting the widgets and putting them back works within a session, and then they black box again.
-=-=-
The ROM looks really slick and I have been happy with NFYC for about a month, but I cannot use it as an overnight alarm clock if it reboots in the middle of the night and am hoping to get to a fully stable ROM by mid-month.
(( And I'll be trying out CM7 on another card, so hold off on asking me to go to that ROM -- that'll be another thread if things don't go smoothly. ))

Which cache?
In order to get market working I deleted the google frameworks / market information.
Is there a different cache to clear? Do you mean Dalvik? On v4 there was the nookie-froyo tool to let me clear the 'dalvik-cache' - haven't been able to find that in the v6 release. The updated version didn't seem to have that but I'll reverify this evening.
Thanks for the continued involvement in this really great ROM!
-=-=-
UPDATE: Cannot find a place to clear the Dalvik cache on the v6 image - the new Nookie-Froyo Utilities only has Status Bar, LCD Density and About in it.
Do I need a tool to clear this cache - or can it be done in the provided applications?

I'm running the same setup as you and I have some of the same problems. Mine not only reboots overnight, it sometimes reboots within a half an hour of using it.
My second major problem is that I can't use apps that need to know my location, like Google Earth and weather apps and widgets. I keep getting a message that my "location is unavailable."
I have a strong wifi signal so I don't know why it can't determine my current location. I had no problem with this the last couple of weeks while running eclair.
If anybody has any ideas how to fix this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
----------------------------------
Btw, do you have trouble playing videos back on some sites, such as TV.com? Mine will only play in portrait mode, not landscape. And they are compressed. However, Youtube plays fine.
I'm having an intermittent problem where the apps which have been moved to the SD card often (but not always) disappear. They do not show up on my launcher (ADW) and I am also unable to install or update any apps. I haven't seen anyone else reporting a similar problem, but the weird thing is that the same thing happens on my daughter's Epic. Here's what I do know:
1. This only happens with Froyo ROMs. It was happening on my phone with SFR 1.1. I installed a Gingerbread ROM (Swiss Cheese Samsprint) and it went away. However, my daughter is on stock (but rooted) EC05 and the same thing is happening with her phone. Additionally, I installed Urban Inception (a GB ROM) and did not have the problem. But I missed the speed of the custom kernels, so I returned my phone to Froyo (this time SFR 1.2) and the problem is again recurring. So, it seems to be 2.2-specific.
2. I have used Odin to return to stock several times, that has not resolved the problem.
3. I have formatted my SD card (once using Windows and again using the format option on my phone) and that has had no effect.
4. When I boot my phone, the apps on the SD card do not show up in the app drawer. After a few minutes, they often appear, but not always. Again this is true on both my daughter's phone and mine, but only with a Froyo ROM.
5. The phone will usually get through two or maybe three new app installs or updates, then all the rest will fail until I reboot. Again, this occurs on both my and my daughter's phones, and only with Froyo. It doesn't matter if these are market apps or Amazon appstore apps. Once one update or install fails, nothing else will install or update until I reboot the phone.
I suppose I could solve my problem by going with GB, but those ROMs are so much slower than the Froyo ones with custom kernels. Also, I like my daughter being as stock as possible, because she won't mess with her phone and can't always give it to me to fix. I doubt it's a hardware issue because we both have it. But, it also doesn't appear to be a ROM issue, since we have different ROMs. Since it's obviously not common, it must be related to either an app we have installed or something strange that I have done (though her phone has nothing done to it but the one-click CWM 3.0.0.5/6).
Anyone have any ideas for me? I suppose my issue will resolve once we have official GB and custom kernels start appearing for it, but I thought it was very strange that I have two phones that both exhibit a problem that nobody else seems to have.
Thanks for reading all this.
This had been happening to me for a while too. I don't have as many apps anymore and keep it all in the phone and noticed better battery life but still want to be able to use apps2sd

Yes, on both phones.
I just noticed this yesterday. I saw Angry Birds had updated but I didn't get notified in my market. The app was still in my launcher though. Don't know if it matters but I hadn't played it in a long time.
Reinstalling worked and didn't lose any data.

I've had this problem too on the MidnightRom v5.2. It's especially annoying when my kids want to play Angry Birds and they are all installed to the SD card. I have "fixed" the apps not showing up in the App drawer by creating shortcuts on one of my home screens to the apps I have on the SD card. When the apps don't show up in the App drawer, the icon on the home screen looks like a generic "Android installed app". The apps I have on the SD card are: apps that came with my Rom (Video Editor), Apps installed from the Market and Apps installed from the Amazon App store.
*I've noticed* it's more common the icons don't show up in the App drawer or have the wrong icon if I unlock my phone before it completely boots (finishes the Scanning Media twice in the status bar).
edonnelly- if you are "missing" an App, try creating a shortcut for it to see if it's in the Applications list. That way at least you can launch it if you reboot and the app isn't showing up in the app drawer.
schnowdapowda- I'm also using my stock 16gb Samsung microSD card, and I've also formatted it with the same results.
Fast Boot option may be the culprit
This is actually a long-standing problem in Android OS, going back at least two years (donkey's years in this technology!)
Something about the interaction of the OS and an sdcard formated for holding apps creates odd behaviours.
Lots of complicated suggestions have been made, including reformatting sdcard, reinstalling ROMs, changing launchers (the one suggested here) and such.
None of these approaches seems really to solve the problem even in most cases.
What seems to be working for me (at least for the last week or so) is the following very simple tweak.
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report anything further on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

hi,
i have a problem with my desire:a few weeks ago i installed cm 7.01 rc via rom manager and today, when i tried to install some apps (e.g. angry birds), i received an error ("Not enough free space"), allthough i have 31 mbs free on phone memory and a couple of hundreds mbs on my sd card.
any idea on what could cause that error?
31MB seems pretty low on phone for CM7 ROM but it should still be enough because the lower threshold is about 15MB. Try moving some apps to SD Card, even temporarily and try reinstalling Angry Birds.
What version of Angry Birds are you trying to install? If it's RIO this needs quite a lot of space and I had many problems installing it even with 25MB free on a previous ROM. I have over 100 apps and have 78MB free using CM7.
I'd suggest you do a search before you create a new thread:

Hi folks,
I'm new to the forum, new to galaxy s4 and new to android. Been with apple for the last 5 years and made the leap to android (a few weeks back) after ditching £$£ worth of apple apps!
But I was having no regrets as being fairly technical/geeky I enjoy the fact you can do SO MUCH with android! However things are beginning to annoy me very much with my new toy.
Hoping you can shed some light on any of my issues please.
PHONE SPECS:
-------------------------
SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 I9505 T-MOBILE UK
ANDROID 4.2.2 ROOTED USING ODIN
I9505XXUBMG7
NO CUSTOM ROM'S (Don't think I have an option there at the moment for my version?)
64GB SDCARD (unbranded)
PROBLEMS
------------------
1) All of a sudden (twice now) my phone has corrupted my SD card, by deleting all my photos!! music and apps!!! The first time it happened it gave me the "can't mount SD" message so had to reformat. This time just deleted random stuff. Tried windows chkdsk to no avail.
2) Can no longer connect to any pc. Just nothing appearing in device manager/keis etc - tried rebooting, usb debug mode, restart phone in download mode...nothing.
Apps I have running that I THINK could be the culprits and not the phone OS would be - APP manager Pro, Clean master, No bloat, App quarantine, folder mount, lucky patcher, nova launcher. I guess that's a lot of variables to add in to the mix, but IMHO you need some of these just to be able to use your SD card for storing APP's when games are nearly 2GB each, Samsung's 8GB, or so of usable phone space is a joke to say the least and having to hack/crack the phone just to have the ability to store on SD is ridiculous!
So not a happy bunny and I hate to say it but what's the point in all this customisation if the bloody thing isn't stable..especially to the most important/core parts to the phone? Someone please restore my dwindling confidence with android!! :crying:
Hope you can help!
Thanks,
Michael

You're running a lot of crappy apps I'd get rid of. Clean master, no bloat, app quarantine, lucky patcher which is warezware, etc. You should post this in the i9505 forum and they can help you with getting rid of the crap you have on your phone and how to remove bloat in a more device friendly way.
Could a mod move this to the correct forum. Thanks
