I wiped the dalvik cache on my phone using flashfire and for some reason, wifi settings were erased and the apps on my SD card can't be seen by my phone (not in the app tray or application manager). Is there a fix to this?
I know that the apps are still on the card because the amount of storage used on it hasn't dropped at all.
try taking out the sd card and putting it back in. It should cause the phone to re detect the card again.

Hello everybody, I'm new here and I'm having a strange problem with my Hermes.
Sometime ago I downloaded the slide2unlock cab and installed it. Then I removed it for some reason. Last week I inserted my sd in the computer and it asked me to format the card. There was no way to get into the sd and I lost all my data.
Now, after having formatted my sd, the device is continually hanging and when I put it in standby it always turns on automatically. Most of the times it also doesn't recognize the sd card and I have to reboot.
Can anyone help me, please?
Did you reformat the sd card FAT32? Its the preferred format but they seem to come formatted FAT by default.
Check to see if the sd card is still being detected by the PC, if it isn't then its time to get a new sd card.
Had you installed any apps on the sd card that might be causing problems.
Not from the sd card but I have had apps that, though I'd installed to the sd card, had installed the exe file onto my Hermes and a heap of data files onto the card.
Otherwise, might be time for a Hard reset...
Tanks for the fast answer. The sd card is formatted to FAT (not FAT32) and now is working in the computer.
Regarding programs installed in the sd, the problem could be exactly the slide2unlock, but I've removed it sometimes ago.
Only other thing to do wopuld be to do a hard reset. !st backup up your contacts to the sd card with spb backup(has a demo of 5 backup/re-installs). Needs to registered but you can at least backup contacts and messages then re-install after HR.
Hard reset should fix all your problems.
Cheers...
I'm running the lastest CM and using apps2sd.
I pulled the card out while it was on just to see what would happen. Phone turned off on its own.
Put the card back in and rebooted. Now all my apps show up but they all force close.
I reinstalled each app and now its back to normal but was there a easier way to do this. Or am i NOT suppose to remove the SD card period/
You can remove the SD card, but the phone has to be off, recovery, or fastboot. I think fix_permissions, or fix_permission I don't remember the command, might have fixed the problem.
I'm usually good about searching the forums and finding fixes for all my problems (and I've had many) but I can't find an answer to my current problem.
I am not able to install apps unless I remove my sd card. Whatever problem I have with my sd card might also be why my titanium won't restore anything. I've tried clearing market data/cache, using a cache cleaner app to clean my sd card cache, I still can't figure out why I can't install apps. This is universal across roms (cleared data each time)
Are there any fixes I've missed? I'm gonna assume its an sd card issue....
Help!
i have seen that happen on a couple custom roms, but you can always just unmount the sd card then remount it after you do the install, then you could move the app to the sd card
I've tried to unmount through the settings and I get a force close everytime. I've tried terminal as well using umount /sdcard and it says "failed." I've also gone back to an old rom I was using and I get the same problem. The sd card thing is a workaround, but is there a solution? My last resort would be to reformat my sd card.....
Ill reformat today when I get home from work. Ill report back later :/
Either your card needs a reformat, or your card is going bad. The only other things that could cause these kinds of problems is if say, the SD slot in your phone was going bad, or some other circuitry connected to it, in which case your sole solution would be to get a replacement phone.
I was getting that then I did a backup of my contacts and did a factory reset then reloaded all my app from the market. Now all is good

Thanks! I havent had a chance to get to a pc. Im hoping a reformat will do the trick.
I figured it out! I was about to reformat my sd card and I remembered reading somewhere that the .android_secure folder causing market problems..... So I tried deleting the folder and my apps started installing again! Not sure why this would be but it worked!
SD card loose
I had the same problem and I noticed that the SD card had backed out of the slot a little. I pushed it back in and everything works fine now. I wish I had seen that before the hard reset.
This started happening after I've installed a new bigger SD card. I've copied all contents from the old SD card to the new one.
But now I have problems with USB connection as mass storage. It usually resets and after restart, there are many applications missing (blank shortcuts and apps are not in the launcher).
What is going on??
Using your phone as Mass Storage would require the SD Card to be unmounted,if by any chance you reboot in the process,your phone might not automatically mount the SD Card，and therefore you will not be able to access the apps on the card.
You may try to mount the SD card manually,still,that won't fix the icon problem instantly,you might wait or refresh a bit.
But I haven't saved any of those apps on the SD card (if it isn't done automatically somehow).
Im having a weird issue on stock where I will just randomly lose access to my SD card even though it says its mounted in settings. When I use a file explorer it says the card is blank when I navigate there. I have a few apps that use the SD card for storage such as my camera and I dont know its not working til I try to use of of the apps which causes it to freeze up.
Rebooting the phone solves the issue until it decided to do the same thing again. Does this with two different SD cards also
