Some apps that I've pushed to my external SD card suddenly show up as not installed and I then have to reinstall from the market. Any ideas what's wrong?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Right now the phone is having problems when you store any apps on the SD card. Make sure they are all stored internally and that should solve your problems.
you have 4gb of app storage, there's no need for apps2sd especially since it breaks the apps, sd card and everything else.
But for me such as with evernote the data is stored on the SD card and the app fails when the SD card unmount itself and I have to resync it.

Yes, theres a bug in the software causing this to happen when apps are installed on the sdcard. Just make sure all ur apps are in internal storage and you should be fine, or is 4gb not enough?

No I have a lot of games and such and to use the SD card option would be nice. It's made for a reason you know lol

Well until Moto provides a update you WILL continue to have the problems having the apps on your sd card. There is no way around it right now.

I agree it would be nice, but then again there are alot of things that would be nice, doesnt make them happen any sooner. You've been made aware of what the issue is, how to avoid it, and now can decide how you want to proceed from here on out.

never use the atrix 2 to format your card, do it with a card reader in windows
I'm on my 2nd Atrix 2. The first one had trouble with the sdcard as most of the people are writing about on XDA so I got a replacement. The 2nd one works perfectly with the same sdcard installed. In addition to fixing the sdcard issues, wireless works more reliably and call quality is better indicating they may have had some hardware quality control issues vs. software issues. If you're within your 30 days return period I would suggest getting a replacement.
Returned for a skyrocket

I've been monitoring this and moved many of my non essential apps to my SD card for testing purposes. Then I set my phone so any updates to apps has to be approved, none of my apps nor is the phone auto update.
Worked fine for two weeks until I finally updated three apps. Then I lost 7 apps on the SD card

I'm trying to be patient for that update. But, it's a tough bone to swallow spending $65 for an SD card just to store MP3s on. It would be nice to have some sort of rough ETA from Moto on the update (i.e., before my 30 days is up). I'd try a Samsung Infuse, but that would be taking a step backward in video and processor.

Nope. I'm guessing that when Moto pushes out the update ATT will have to put their blessing on it and we all know how quick that will happen.

Try a warranty exchange. I promise the issues you have seen tylercarter, is not exactly what everyone else has, especially with google contacts disapperaing. If you bought it at ATT they are decent if you go into a store. If you bought it at best buy forget it, even 1 day past 30 day they will tell you too bad so sad. ATT took care of me three times even at 40 days, they let me switch to a different phone each time. That was back in march so.... give it a try.
I hate to say it, but fixes for this issues with the SDcard most likely will never come. Now if we can get the source code for this phone, then WE can fix the issue much like cyanogen did those type of things for many phones. I will definitely do the fix for it once we get that.

I caught one with 190MB application storage which is unacceptable for most.
I use MT4 and NS instead of nexus one because of that. Don't ever think app2SD helps because it won't work when the phone is in USB mass storage mode or memory card is removed.
I had about the same until I started adding some of my apps to the phone. I can't even add all my apps because of the internal storage. Can't wait for root and some Roms (CyanogenMod 7).

Man this thing is pissing me off. I can't even install half the apps I had installed on my original Vibrant.
T-mobile should give us options on installing apps as soon as we turn it on. They just throw **** we won't use on the phone and call it a day. Now what if we had no devs nor root or anything like that? Look at what we would be stuck with. In that case people would just return the phone.

Cool I rooted it and have Titanium Backup installed. Just no CWM yet for ROM Manager.
I have all my appz installed with no issue... honestly 16gb onboard made the vibrant slow. im glad to have less... and I can install as many apps to my sd card as i want.
I see someone has said they have over 500mb of internal, how is that possible and why is mine not the same?
I'm on live chat with T-Mobile right now. The lady just told me...
"Okay, thank you for that information. There definitely seems to be an issue here. I am looking further into this"
So obviously there is a problem

Ok cool, let us know what's going on. I have a total of 539MB internal storage.
Specs says 1GB! I read that off phonedog I think.
"You should definitley have more memory than what you are showing. I can get you the manufacturers information. Since it is a Samsung device their support teams will definitely be able to assist you a little better than us at the moment.
_Jessica C: I know that you don't want to go back to the store, but if there is an issue with the device it may be the best bet since it is a new phone. I can also recommend taking it to a T-mobile direct dealer. They may be able to test your software. They know anything and everything about these phones.
_Jessica C: I do apologize but I am limited with my information at the time."
Since it's a new phone she doesn't have all the info, etc. At least they know there is a problem now.
I'm going to go to a t-mobile store and talk to them so I'll let you know what they say
LOL
i doubt that a t mobile rep would know anything and everything about the phone.
Ok, I just got off with a T-Mobile rep and she said the internal memory should have a total of 512MB. ...sucks! But good thing we have a 16GB sdcard.
^I was told 512 ram and 1024 rom. Plus 512 makes no sense when dude a couple posts up said he had 539mb available..sorry not dude above, you said it yourself! lol

So from what I have read so far it speeds up the system and SD card works. What kind of a joke is this crap! SD card read only, apps can't use it. Netflix stops working, holy crap! What good is this update? If we can use the SD card, USB flash drives, USB hdd, netflix all on root stock 3.1, why update? Is this how Google is going to treat us? Moto should have never agreed to this crap! Either moto is stupid and just can't write the software or Google is trying to screw moto over! Come on now already! You can't really think we are that stupid! Google fixed the issue with a lock up of all the xoom's ability.

Agreed. I look forward to seeing Team Tiamat updates whether it has to do with their Rom or their kernel. There is a reason Tiamat is the winning team.
OP: Look into Team Tiamat's work if you haven't already.
Well teach me not to read! I updated and netflix works, I can use root explorer to access the sd card with my work. Lost the ability to use my 500gb hdd over otg. So actually I am more impressed at the speed improvement and scrabble works now. So my complaint now is with the ones posting completely wrong info. I'm sure I will figure it why my hdd isn't showing up.

There are actually important reasons the external sdcard was handled the way it is. Google didn't do it specifically to annoy you.
App developers (such as myself) will be updating to support writing via the new MTP method soon enough. Be patient.
It was all the reading I did. Loaded it and all is good. Lost my use of usb otg hdd support. Oh well still runs much better.

I just did the update 3.2 and i dont have OTG support at all. Also my calendar is messed up, for some reason it only gives me 1 date marked on the calendar.But really i have 6 dates. I downloaded a apk from this site so i can mount the sd card to read/write, the app works. But when i transfer my music from the xoom to the sd card (external 1) the music won't play on the sd card . Also this gave me the stock kernal anyway to go back to tiamat?
That's a good question. I am wondering if any other kernel would work?

so after a call with some complaints on my service, i ended up getting an upgrade a month early, the A2 for $24.99 and $20 off of my bills, lol.
anyhow, i went with the atrix 2 because it seemed like a great phone at a great price. however, i was kind of pushed into the atrix 2 because i did not have time to really research the purchase.
after reading some reviews now, i see that some are complaining about call volume. i had this problem with my x10 and i hated the x10 because of the in call volume. how is the income volume on the atrix 2? is it as bad as what i'm reading? has a recent update fixed it?
also, how is the camera? shutter speed? clarity? etc?
i have a nexus s now, recently sold my x10.
I havent noticed the call volume being quiet? Just as loud as my Atrix 1 / BB Torch.
Camera is good, opens quick and my pictures have been clear. Only issue is that the first picture is mostly corrupt. Supposedly there will be a firmware update to fix this.

No problems here at all, loving mine! I think some of the issues they're having are related to their microSD card
I have had my A2 now for two weeks, no complaints with call volume at all and I too came from an X10. The only issue I've had so far is with my sdcard becoming read only (causing pics not to save, cant use zedge, cant take screenshots, cant save any media to it) intermittently. It seems the cause of that was the class 10 sdcard I had in it, apparently this phone doesnt play well with class 10 cards so I picked up a 16gb class 4 card last night and so far so good.

Try hooking your phone up to a computer and making a backup up your microSD card. Then erase all the contents on your card. Remove the card and then reinsert it and let your phone format the card. After its done transfer your backup back to your card. This has been helping with some peoples problems. As stated earlier though our phones aren't playing well with clads 10 microSD cards. Hopefully this will help you.
My experience has been just the opposite. I originally purchased a 16gb class 4 PNY card and I had the aforementioned read only issues. I then exchanged it for a 16gb class 10 PNY and all has been good since. and that has been about 3 weeks ago. Go figure?

But after all the work you've done I have a great deal of respect for you; so when you asked what you asked I immediately did what you asked. I think you're a hell of a guy. I don't want you to think my comment was aimed at you. But there's way too many people who aren't in charge acting like they are; and people who have a great deal to contribute might never come back because they're being harassed even before they say hello.

Oh I hope you don't think I was upset or anything. I was just hoping that you and everyone else understood my point in the other thread. I was just wanting to clear that up.
As for a class 10 SDcard with ICS. I put one of the 3 that I have and I still have the same issues with the gallery and the certain apps that just stop seeing the card for no reason, sometimes a reboot works and other times it does not. For the record I have a class 10 32GB SAN Disk that I use and I have been using in a few phones with any issues but the A2 has issues with it. I also a a class 4 and a class 6 32GB SAN Disk as well, and both of those work without any issues in the A2 and don't have the same weirdness that the class 10 does.

I've been running a SanDisk 32GB Class 10 with no issues......
one caveat however....
I first attached the card to my PC, and formatted it with the following tool https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Then I plugged it in the phone and formatted it with the internal utility.
Haven't had a single issue since.

Do I copy system and app files back to the card once formatted or should I let the phone create new ones?
And i have also read in the threads i have mentioned one member has quoted he has no problem with his kingmax 32gb class 10 men card..

I saw one guy say that a PNY one was working on that second link you posted. I never saw that before because I got caught up on another thread about Atrix 2 bugs (caused by SD card). I'm sorry if I was a little snappy earlier; it's not personal I'm just sick of life as a whole.
Techsavvy you've made me a happy man! I did all that you said and now I can run Passmark Mobile. It used to freeze up on mem test. This is my 16gb Class 6. If I don't have any problems for the next few days (usually within 2 days I will have a problem) then I will buy a 32gb UHS1. I will keep everyone posted if this solves the problem. If this works for others hit the thanks button on Techsavvy.

and most of the people who reported class 10 working with them, later on reported that they are also getting few issues, and somebody said it "It doesn't matter if its working now, soon or later you will face issues", not trying to discourage you, but you know I've gone through most of the threads and this is what i understood
I just got a notification on my galaxy s3 saying "Sd card blank or unsuported files.." if I open the notification it says are you sure you want to format sd card. I'm guessing the sd card just died. Is there anyway i can take my files off or are they gone. Any help soon would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's toast. Do you have an adapter you can plug it into your computer with? Try that, that would be your only way if it's still salvage-able. Thats what mine did when it crashed.
Do you think me rooting the phone caused it to crash

Probably not. Cards crash out of nowhere. Coulda been a defective card. How old is it? What are the other specs? Manufacturer, etc...

Yeah its from my droid x so 2 years, but it's pretty funny how it crashes one day after i root my phone. I haven't installed a ROM yet or unlocked the bootloader though.

Thats about how long my card from my X lasted, a little over 2 years... I think that's just their shelf life. I'd had mine in my S3 as soon as I got it and had it rooted and ROM'd a few times without a prob. Then one day it just didn't work.
Thanks for the help also are there any brand SD cards you would recommend 16 or 32 gb

I've always bought SanDisk myself. Read the reviews of each specific card tho, even SanDisk has had some crappy ones.
Had been frustrating with my new Sandisk Ultra 32g till one day I was about to send my S3 in to demand for replacement, I did a final test of the card on other S3 & phones - & it had the same problem - SO IT WAS THE CARD....
Called Sandisk Distributor & they said it is a known problem between S3 & several SD brands but Sandisk has resolved the issue with the new batch of cards that has just arrived in Dec 2012.
Changed the card one-for-one & plugged it in immediately - Problem solved. Card remains usable again....
