It seems whenever I reboot...I notice a bunch of apps gone..I reinstall and then when I reboot again...they either stay or get deleted again.
EDIT: my infuse did this when it was not rooted also. I just now rooted it and had to reinstall a bunch of apps...I did that and rebooted and voila. They are gone again.

I was stock and I JUST now rooted it after a couple weeks of having it. It still did this before I rooted. Also my apps constantly force close now.

Ok go into settings-applications-all-move apps that are diisapering to the phone close reboot see if that works?
they come back after about 5 minuets or so. its because they are stored on the sd card.
i got used to it.
Does it matter that it says media scanning complete up top and I still dont see them?

Move all the apps off the SD Card, then remove the SD Card to prevent future apps from being installed to it.

I have a 32GB SD card which I would like to keep in the phone... :-/ But the apps themselves are on the internal SD I believe. it's odd...my friend doesn't have any of these issues...we both upgraded same day with the infuse. It could be something simple I am just a android noob and plan on living on these forums reading as much as I can.
the disappearing wallpaper is due to the wallpaper being on the sdcard and not phone storage (same device in a physical sense, different partition/device to the os) the ui loads before the sdcard mounts. the media scanner seems to run before the apps are loaded. so it needs to load the default wallpapper to unlock the phone.
the other disappearing apps may be due to the same thing but they should show before you have an opportunity to reinstall them, unless they are somehow on the external sd card and that sd card happens to be a class 2 or something slow like that.
i hate apps to sd for anything other than older phones that have under 512mb of phone storage. it just causes confusion, i dont really know why some apps like to install to the sd card on this phone others dont and it never asks you, this never happened on my captivate.

Hmm...makes sense...I do have a 32gb sd class 2 sandisk card but i've heard mixed things on whether the different classes matter on the Infuse. But yes the apps issue is strange...but they are on the internal SD. Some are on the phone. So moving them all to the phone should fix the disappearing issue?
I just worry about running out of space. phone memory is only 2gb.

2GB is a pretty huge amount of space for apps so I wouldn't worry about that. Some of the larger games that require downloading extra cache files, like Order & Chaos, save that to a special cache folder that AFAIK doesn't count towards the 2GB internal memory limit (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Does anyone know of a way to disable apps saving to the SD card by default? In other words, how can we ensure that we always save apps to the phone? Saving to SD actually causes one of my favorite apps, SoundHound, to not work correctly as the widget isn't available, even after I move it to the phone memory.

My current problems are, everytime I reboot my break.com app gets deleted and has to be reinstalled...it won't let me move it to phone memory. Netflix app gets deleted also. When I try to move that to phone is says low memory. I have 1.4gb free on it.

That sucks. If it makes you feel any better, sometimes my Infuse will say that I have insufficient memory to install a new app as well, when I have more than 1.5GB free. :-[

Do you have the new android market? Try uninstalling it and using the old one. It fixed my issue when trying to download apps.

i hate the delay on loading apps that are on the sdcard. i moved every single app i have on to the phone and dont have to wait 5 minutes to use my phone. apps on the sdcard are also slower and cant include more advanced features like widgets. sadly since theres two sdcards, theres no option to have apps install to the phone by default.

It's odd...I have moved all the apps I could to my phone memory and since then I have had no problems after reboots except the break.com and netflix app. Not really a big deal it only takes a few seconds to reinstall those. I have waited 5-10 min after bootup for those to come back but they do not. Just a minor annoyance though.
i can imagine big video apps caching to the sdcard.
Actually for whatever reason I was able to move the break app to my phone this time. Only took 20 reinstalls lol

I was playing dragon, fly! When all of a sudden i got a message saying i had low memory and that the game may crash or restart. What can i do to improve my memory??

I've never experienced a low memory error like that as Android will manage your RAM for you automatically killing off unneeded background apps when memory is needed. You sure this wasn't an ad of some sort?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Make sure that app data isn't being stored on internal memory. Also try clearing Cache and reboot.
It was not an ad. It was a legit htc thing. I clear my cache once every 2 hours really. Reboot my phone around that time also. How do i have app date save stuff to somewhere else?

If all you want to is move your apps, you can go into Menu-Settings-Applications-Manage applications-downloaded. Then just hit the Move to SD button, if it's not greyed out. You can also use Titanium Backup to move apps. It's free on the Market. Open TB, then go Backup/Restore-long press on app you want to move-wait for pop up-choose Move to SD card. Once your all done just back out of TB. Sence will reload. I like to reboot if I move a bunch of apps. But it's not necessary.

Brand new to the skyrocket, I have tried both CM9 and AOKP and have issues with external storage. My gallery pull all my pics from the external perfect so i know the o/s is seeing it. When i use astro file search nothing shows up on my external, and when i go to play music through my blutooth, google music wont play anything and jetaudio plays but cuts in and out. Is this a common issue everyone, and is there a fix for it?
Both my internal and external work fine on aosp roms. Are you saying you can't find the internal SD? :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
My internal works fine.Google music recognizes music on my external but says it can't access
the files to play them.jetaudio will play them but cuts in and out.
If I open astro file manager and choose external SD nothing shows up
Have you tried fixing permissions? I always try that when something isn't quite right.

Fixed permissions, rebooted, opened astro file manager,
Clicked on external SD,it says directory empty. I also noticed jetaudio is only recognizing
A portion of my music. I don't get it. I would normally think its a bad install,
But I do a complete wipe everytime and it does the same thing with Cm9
Are you selecting external SD from within the emmc folder? That will show as empty. To see the contents go up one level in the directory and select SDCard. That is external and emmc is internal on AOSP Roms.

Thank you,that worked,sometimes I am an idiot.lol. now if I can figure
Out why google music wont play any of my music, everything would be
Perfect.
I had the same problem, drove me to the brink of insanity, lol. I flashed another rom and decided it wasn't good so I flashed back and somehow everything worked. Not sure how but it worked.

Glad that was it. I believe there is some instructions for deleting the media db files in the CM9 thread in order to force a rescan. Try searching "media db" in there.
Thanks are great, thanks button is better

Solved-thanks for everyone's help, this is what I had to do to fix the music issue.
Uninstall music apps, use root explorer do to data/data/android.com.provider.media,delete database folder, boot into recovery,delete cache, reboot,reinstall music app
So in the past week or so I've been getting this notification that I'm running out space in my tablet...except all of my videos, pics and music are on a micro sd. Tallied up all of my apps and have maybe around a gig of space used up according to what they use under app dev. This is quite honestly pi$$ing me off tremendously because I can't figure this out at all. I did fix permissions and wiped dalvik to no avail. Btw I'm rooted running AR HD 3.4.1. I just can't figure out how 13 gigs is being used up and why you can't move whatever is using this massive amount of space to the micro sd???

Did you look in /data/logs ?
What should I be looking for? The chive had an abundance of cached photos, got rod of them, fed up a few hundred megs... not gigs, it was probably the only app that i had that would have made a significant difference

Google play music nearly filled my tablet, and it wouldn't say what was using up the space.
I just flashed to stock and then realized it must have been google play music.
There can be a number of things causing it to run out of space. The most common nowadays is filling up system/app with updated youtube/google apps which are far larger than the originals. This is because it keeps the version that came with it + the updated version. Installing a newer version of ggapps should fix it
to make it easier on yourself instead of guessing and searching through folders with some weak browser app. use something like elixr2 or one of my favs Quick System info PRO. this makes looking things up fast and easy without having to terminal everything all the time. lots of options and gives even more info than what the pics show.
One other thing to keep in mind.
I used to have my tf101 make a nightly back up of the system using Titanium Backup. Forgetting about that, it chewed up space on my tab within a couple weeks. I finally figured out that it wasn't apps eating up my space but the back ups. So I limited the number of back ups to keep, and deleted the rest. POOF those pesky and pissy notifications went away and I have not had an issue of that since.
I am trying to install an app I downloaded from the web. Its the xperia album but every time I try to install it I get an out of space error but I don't have a lot of apps. So I go to the app store and try to dwnload angry birds b//c its a lot bigger than the album app and it allows me to dwnload it. Does anyone know what's going on.

Maybe I panic to easy and post to quick. I called and did a factory reset and everything is fine.

I was wondering why my internal storage was running out of room so I used Diskusage to see what was really going on. I found about 2Gb of junk in /system/media/ Since I wasn't doing a factory reset between flashes, every zip I installed and other useless app data remained. The weird thing is the folders weren't showing up with my root browser.:thumbup: for the factory reset in between flashes and also for Diskusage.

Sad thing is we shouldnt have to do a factory reset to clear up space on the phone. Last week before I bricked my phone I was simply listening to Amazon Cloud Player and it basically took up all the space on my phone. I was getting warnings for low space. And how am I supposed to clear that space? Thats how I bricked my phone by moving all my apps to my SD card with RootToolbox Pro. I think its clear we need a custom rom like CM 9 or 10 to get rid of the glitches in this phone. Please take the time to donate to guys like interloper and aaarrrgh just to show you care about their work.

Diskusage will allow you to find and delete the files in /system/media/ that might be taking up space. What I found there was mostly redundant zips and Rom Toolbox app backups. As far as I know, apps won't work on the external sd but that shouldn't be too much of a problem once you get that wasted space back,
