My icons for apps on my home screens will not load. All it is showing is a generic android icon. Any other known issues or fixes?

I've found that changing the scene helps. You will have to do this twice to get it back to your original set-up.
Still hoping that this will be fixed with an update. Although no sign of that coming any time soon from HTC.
I've noticed this on any apps moved to the sd card. Any ideas?
When you move your apps to the SD card, this is what happens in Android as a whole. This is not generalized to the Sensation as my last 5 phones have done this. Until Google fixes this, you just going to have to learn to live with it.

Strange...never did it on my Nexus One!
Never did it on my vibrant either but all the apps are on my sdcard that are screwing up.

It doesn't do it on all phones. It depends on factors that I don't know but I can tell you it did it on my most recent phones like my G2X and Nexus S.
It only does it when the app is on your SD card. The icon should remain until you restart your phone.
I've been having the same issue on the Sensation, but never had this problem on any other Android phone... could the issue be from not formatting the SD card after moving it from my old phone to this one?

Quick fix to get app icon picture back:
-Long press the "generic android icon" on home screen and drag to trash/remove on bottom right
-Go to your apps list and long press that same app and replace it to where u had it or wherever else u like
i heard it might have something to do with the speed of the sd card. Only a window of time allowed during boot to let the images to load, after that generic only. maybe moving from the stock class 4 to a 6 or 10 would help? Anyone see this issue with a faster card?

I was having the same problem and this worked.
Move the Apps from sd to phone.
The phone loads internal memory first which has all your Apps on your home screens than it loads external. So if they are stored on sd they show up as generic. Download app2sd transfer to phone and your good to go.

Hey guys, I have two minor problems.
1. Whenever I restart my phone I loose the icons from my home screen for the apps those are on SD card. Is it normal?
2. Sometimes my widgets show jagged lines in the display. To get rid of them I have to remove the widgets and add them again.
Do you have any solution for any of the problems above?

1. This is normal. So you will have to live with it (the same thing also happens on PCs, when you install a program on external hard drive)
2. Several people have reported about this. I don't know exactly why this happens, but it could be because of the launcher or resolution. Try a different launcher and see if that helps.
I had the jagged lines on the Google search bar pop up twice? I did the same, remove and textile the bar.

I am just moving apps to sd with app2sd application. And that never happened to my any other phones.

Hi Guys
Anyone noticed this problem: whenever you enter the Application Manager and click on an application to see the size of the app or transfer it to the SD card, the size numbers start flickering very fast and then they stabilize on 0 (zero). I have to use the back button then go back into the same application to see the actual numbers
I have to stay this initial release of the Sensation software is extremely buggy, my DHD was way smoother and bug free, hope HTC comes up with updates very soon
I am on the ASIA WWE version 28.707.2.1
Yes, have seen this alot... even caused a few non responsive crashes - requiring a battery pull to resolve...
This also happens when the phone is trying to read your sd card. I've been using a sd card that hasn't been formatted in a while, so last night I saved everything and formatted it. Since then, no problems.

+1 also just changed to a fresh formatted 16 Gig Micro SD card still have the App Manager shutter
Swyped from HTC Pyramid, using XDA Premium App.
Anyone getting errors moving apps to sd using the application storage space saving feature? I select apps to move and it will move a few then tell me there is no more space on my sd card - there's 11gb free. I keep cycling through and it will move more but then it finally won't move any more. HTC is on some bull**** releasing this buggy crap.
I updated to 1.34.401.1 and this behavior is gone. All is normal.
Thought it was just me! Ill be waiting for the ota

Normal (but buggy) behaviour...my Nexus One did this too. I think it happens because I'm always trying to move apps to SD too fast.
edit: Now wife just complained about having to try twice or more on some of her apps!
I have the same problem too.Formatted my 16 gig class 6 card didn't help.oh well not a biggie for me,since i'm not experiencing any of the more serious/annoying issues many are reporting here....knocking on wood.
I get an icon in the top left corner that looks to be a simcard with a cog of some sort.
I think its a sim card as it shows up once I make or receive a phone call and doesnt go away till I reboot , could just as well be a memory card icon.
Any body got an idea what it is how how to get rid of it?

When it is there pull down the notification bar and see what it say's.
Any chance of a screen shot? Would be easier for people to help!
Off the top of my head it sounds like the icon for preparing SD card, not sure til I see it though!

As the subject says, whenever I exit an app or the browser, it goes to the white htc screen and then it says loading for abt 15 second and it'll take me back home. Anyone know what causes this?

it's a RAM issue! I solved it by uninstalling the new Market App (I cannot use the new functionality here in Europe, anyway) and other services that I didn't used that I had running in the background!
Problem solved!
With all the love I have for my Sensation, I feel HTC should have gone with more memory!!
How can I get the old market back?

I would have to say it's HTC's over-bloated Sense that is the problem. With CM7 I always have 300-200 Mb of unused memory. I can run games, videos, anything memory intensive and still never use it all.
As for the white screen when hitting home... It's a memory issue with Sense. I would get that back when I ran stock ROM.

Mate, my suggestion, if you are experiencing hardware problems (Buttons etc) would be to talk to HTC about it.

Yes it's harder to gain S-OFF and Root with 1.2x, but it's not impossible. I wouldn't let that bother you.
I'm sorry, it's been that long since I've been on Sense, that I can't remember what's supposed to be displayed there in the battery status. I don't think mine displayed apps like your questioning. But like I said, I simply can't remember sorry.
Hopefully someone using Sense will post to help you with that.
Do you have button problems when using the stock browser?
Do you have another SD card to test for awhile? The unmount/mount issue could be the card itself. If not, maybe back it up to a PC and format the card (in the phone) and see if that helps?
