I notice apps I download sometimes can't be found even though there shown if I go to my app list and I can run them. But there not in the app folder. Sometimes moving them from sd back to phone fixes it sometimes not. I'm on embro 3.2 any easy fixes?

Some apps won't run from the SD and must be installed internally. Other than that, I'm not sure what you have happening.
Give us some examples of the apps that do this too you. :thumbup:

Songify the latest app this happened with. It moved to the sd card after bring installed for a few days and I didn't move it. When it moved to the sd card it vanished from the app drawer, so I moved it back to the main storage which didn't fix it then I also ran fix permissions
Along with a reboot and the app restored itself. though when it vanished I could still run it from system settings just not the app drawer. This happens randomly to random apps and always after I used the app a few times. Something moves them to the sd card then they vanish. Don't get what moves then or why I can run them but not see them moving them to the sd card my self doesn't cause the issue.

Try rebooting the launcher. May not of updated in the app drawer. Also mounting the sd card while apps are on sd cause them to vanish from app drawer.

So I'm loving my Infuse, but I'm having a problem. Whenever I turn it off and then back on (which so far has only been when it dies) my home screen always gets screwed up. My Pandora widget disappears, and I am not able to add it back unless I reinstall the app. Also I have a firefox icon in the app tray at the bottom, and that disappears too.
What can I do to fix this?
by any chance does you live wallpaper change too?
i haven't noticed icons or widgets disappearing but i noticed my wallpaper goes back to stock after a reboot.
I've had the stock wallpaper all along so I have no idea, ill try it out and see what happens.
You need to install apps on phone not external SD card that will fix it. At least the live wallpaper.

I put on a live wallpaper and it stayed there after reboot, but my Pandora widget still disappeared, and I had Dolphin browser instead of Firefox in the app tray, but that disappears too.
How do I choose to install apps to the phone?
Go to settings,application, ext SD card in the top right, find application you want to move click it it will say move to phone click it. It will install on phone

I forgot its settings, applications, manage application, then SD card.

I don't even get an option to add the Pandora widget after I move the app to the phone.
Did you reboot the phone?

eroracing, thanks for your posts about this issue - I already exchanged my infuse once, but am too chicken to reboot this new one yet. I followed your instructions about the SD card; my phone came with an external SD card and there's also an internal card listed in the "SD card and phone storage" menu, as well as the phone storage itself. I'm hoping the 'sd card' on the far right in the Applications menu is referring to the external card.
I moved what I could to the phone, but I'm still too chicken to reboot!

Thanks i wasn't sure on how to do this before.

Yes the one all the way to the right. And I'm not sure what you mean you don't want to reboot your phone. Just power off and back on again.

Ok, I finally screwed up the courage to power my infuse off and back on, and all is ok. Whew! Because of course once you get this large a screen, you just can't go back to something smaller!
How do I set my sd card as my default save as spot for apps?

Ps I have root if that helps at all
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
if you use CyanogenMod (or any of CM-based ROMs), it can be done via Settings/CyanogenMod Setting/Apps/
if not, sorry, have no idea yet
there's an app for this
a2sdfroyo
allows you to set default install location
after reboot(soft) or after I connect the device to my PC(i.e as mass storage)
all the widgets disappear from my home screens...
I'm using go launcher ex.
Does it happen to anyone else?
it s really annoying to set them back after each reboot/connect....
tried to backup configuration with the presences but it doesn't work....
Suggestions will be accepted happily

You downloaded your icons and themes to your SD card.. go into settings applications manage applications and move them back to phone and that will solve your problem

its weird cause one of the widgets is : power control - I don't seem to find a way to control it...
another one is picture frame - also can't find anything for it...
I don't find any notification for it beside the widgets menu in the home screen
another one is system info - moved it to phone

Are you sure it is on the phone not sd card? You can go to settings/applications/manage applications and check each one is on phone or download app2sd and see which apps are on sd card and which are on the phone. Can't think of anything else it could be.

100% sure! and also as I mentioned above some I can't find some widgets at all(picture frame,power control)
I'm running MW r1 and I noticed that some of my installed apps are no longer appearing on my apps list. I would have to go into the playstore and launch the app from there.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? And can this be resolved?

I found another problem. When i make restart, all app icons which are on sdcard disappear from home screen. Do you have same problem. I install official kitkat with factory reset.

You have to wait for your device to read the SD card. Once finishes, the icons will come out.

Agree!
And the apps that are on your external SD card do not dissapear! Only the shortcuts on the launcher.
I believe that the time the apps load on boot is higher for the one on the sd card. And the launcher see icons without apps and deletes them!
So if you have a lot of sd apps shortcuts on your launcher you will have to put them every boot!

I just bought the Xperia M2 and have the same problem. It is really annoying. I am now considering returning it. I have a 2 year old Acer phone which doesn't have this problem using the same SD card. Not sure why Sony can't handle this.
I am able to temporarily fix the issue by using Go Launcher instead of the stock sony one. Shame that Sony didn't come up with a solution yet.
