Heyy guys
Has anyone noticed that if you arrange the icons on the arc when the phone is restarted the icons all move around...
Is this just me or has it happened to others?
Thanks,

I got same issue, upon every restart the phone shuffles the icons adding new windows and places 2 or 3 icons on window or so...
What I've noticed is that this only applies to apps stored on the SD card, anything stored on the phone memory will stay in place.

Yeah...
Is it possible to be the low-class SD doing this? The standard default SD Card included in Arc's box is Class 2 I believe.
Could higher class SD card fix this? Can someone with Class 4-6-8-10 share impression please?
It is strange tough, I'm using the SD card provided with the Arc and dont have any problems.
I read some people did have problems with the launcher but that was fixed in SEs latest android version, are you guys on the latest version ?
more people are having this problem :

Regardless the complainings about the Arc I would definitely say that is a faulty phone. I have mine for 2 mounts now and the only problem i experience is when i reboot the phone occasionally it shuffles the icons...no lag, no delay. It's a truly worthy phone.

Same problem..Sandisk class4..latest firmware
Glad to hear it's not just me lol I also have the latest version 2.3.3
I didn't actually notice that it was only the apps on the SD card that moved till it was mentioned
Using 2.3.3 here as well.
Hope this will be fixed in upcoming updates, cause its annoying...not that i restart my phone often, but nevertheless when you do you need to spend some time to re-arrange all the icons back again or just scrolling arround till you find that you need.
Depends on how many craps you have installed on you phone lol.
Brah.
Have same issue with icons.
2.3.3 did not help at all.

Just created a folder to put my games in and noticed that some of the icons change after a reboot to a generic market icon.
If I take the app out of the folder and add it again it comes back.
Is there a fix for this or is it a bug with Froyo?
Did you change memory cards in between? I ask because some apps get saved onto the memory card and changing it will obviously mean that ur dhd can't access it......hope that helped

This seems to happen randomly to me aswell.

No. Same card.
This only seems to happen when you move the apps to SD card moving them back to phone remove and re-adding them fixes it or use folder organiser from the market

This happened to me with Launcher Pro for apps on memory card, but if you restart launcher pro, the icons should be normal again.
I noticed this too and came to the forums for an answer, however I found my own answer.
I believe it's related to the apps with data stored on your SD card. When your phone boots up it takes awhile to check the SD card, by that time it's already checked for the icons for the programs in your games folder.
A quick solution is to hit the personalise button, then the first option marked Scene, change the scene, change it back and you get your icons back without having to drag them back out
If you connected to PC via USB, this can cause the sdcard un-mount by the DHD. Reboot will solve it.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a noob guys so please excuse me if I posted to wrong forum or if answer is availabe to my question here. I have looked and found few threads but some of the solutions mentioned did not work or involved rather cumbersome process of installs,tweaks or partitioning SD.
My issue is with VR Kingdom REVOlution B1.3 First of all I absolutely love this ROM so cudos to the developers as this is the best ROM I have tried. Seems very stable, all my apps work (at least the ones I have chosen, especially TelNav GPS for Sprint. Wireless is still on and off, at this point I think it's the hardware or my router. Beeing stricken with a slight case of OCD I have not yet found a way for my icons poiting to my apps moved to SD card via the phone's app manager or Superbox etc. to display their icon image. They are all fine in the main apps folder, I create shortcuts to them by holding them down when on desired screen, they appear fine with right icon. When I power on and off they stay okay,however, when I power off to change my battery or chosing the green restart button (close all apps and restart phone) after that reboot my SD card mount fairly fast, pictures, song etc. load fine but for some reason the shortcuts to my apps on various screens now have a generic Android icon. The apps launch fine, but the icons never regain their image unless I recreate the shortcut. That I won't do every time I need to reboot but will not sleep till I find a fix. I know it has to do with the SD mounting after my theme, wallpaper, skin etc. I had the same issue with the Ti-X_GBSenseOTA-V1.3 ROM (was no crazy about that ROM, left me with 7MB in system folder, fat and full of errors)
I also upgraded to a 16gb class 4 micro SD. Only thing I did was copy my 8gb SD cards files to it. Not sure if that was the correct way to do but apps,pics and mp3 etc. seem to work from the new SD fine.
Anyone have a solution or suggestion ? I can't flipping sleep like this..lol It would be very appreciated.
Please help
Thanks in advance,
Julian
Thanks

I am assuming you have an EVO 4G? The best place to ask question is generally on the general section of your phone's forum or in this case the development thread of the ROM.

I am not sure of a permanent fix but if you change the scene (long press on an empty bit of a home screen) choose the scene menu and choose a new scene, Then just go back to your original scene. Quicker than recreating your icons...

Problem: I need to switch my cards with my digital camera to upload pictures and with the stock lockscreen i answer calls accidentally often.
So i am trying to find a rom with the new 3.0 lock screen and without apps2sd. I understand the problem that the sense take much space but there are many lite roms out there but without the new lock.

You could try this, though when i used it last time it was pretty buggy...
Also cant you just buy a second sd card? they are pretty cheap these days lol.

I have 3 sd, a 8 gb in my camera and another 8 in my phone, the only problem is that all my photo editing apps on my phone's sd.
And when i was on AceSMod my phone did not booted up without the partitioned sd.
Im now on gingerwally, i dont have ext partition and i can happily change my sds, but i have the stock lockscreen what is really annoys me, after having it in AceSMod.
The phoney has gotten slow and sometimes slow responses or it acts bugged for example:
I click a picture from the menu and it won't open up, but instead it will act like if I have held my finger on it and then have option to share or delete and it wouldn't allow me to open it. Other times when I open up a picture it won't let me move it around. It get strange behaviors, or sometimes when I am texting it will have lag or slowdown while typing, example:
I'm typing a message and it slows down while i keep typing and nothing is shown written on the screen and then it lags out and it instantly types everything like leaving behind a little time of lag to catch up and trust me it get's annoying, it interrupts the conversation and sometimes you end up sending incomplete lines or mixed words and such. When it happens my only option is to reboot the phone. It get's to my nerves.
I believe this is because the internal memory is always full.
I Bought a while ago a 32Gig microsd because I thought I could store and install the apps on the sdcard so it leaves the internal space of my phone alone. I tried downloading a few apps to move some apps to my microsd card but no success. The app I got is called "AppMgr lll" but I never got it working right because I never get the option to "Move to SD Card".
I'm also using the rom: AOKP 4.2.2 and I believe it was almost a year ago when I installed it. I haven't touched my phone ever since.
All I want is, release internal memory and be able to use my sdcard for what I intended to use it for, which are the apps.
Thank you and have a nice day.
That's pretty old for a ROM. I'd suggest either updating it, or install a new ROM.

Yes of course.
I will need some help since it's been so Long. Step by step guide for idiots if possible jaja
What about the applications?
How can I install them automatically to the external card not the internal memory?

It's kind of like riding a bike, u never really forget. You're already rooted and running a custom ROM, search around and find one that u like. I would recommend S3Rx 2.1, but that's just me, I prefer tw ROMs over aosp. And as far as apps to SD, there are apps in the market to help with that, but keep in mind, not all apps will function properly when moved to SD... Good luck!!

hi i'm having app issues since i have android 11.
some emulators that I have (dolphin) do not have access to the microsd folder where I have the roms.
does this happen to you? Is there any solution? wait for the application update?
thanks
we'll just have to wait until devs update apps to be compatible with scoped storage
Yep, my microsd is readable till my phone lock himself. After that it dismount the card and I have a try at next day... same thing happens again and again. I didn't found a solution,but I still have 120 Gb free space in phone...
Meh... that's one reason I'm staying on Pie.
If I wanted scoped storage I have gotten a bloody Apple.
Is it possible for samsung to fix that microsd bug? or should it be google?

Assuming Google gives Samsung the leeway to fix it, Samsung could... eventually.
Lol, took over a year for them to fix the Buds firmware
Does anyone know of an e-mail to contact Samsung?

You can phone them in the USA. Their tech support is pretty much worthless.
Best bet is a Google search but the OS is very new so it's going to be slim pickens. You might luck out though. Try other makes and models as it may be a shared issue.
I don't fully understand: the problem accessing your SD card is with any app, or with some particular apps? If the problem is with any app, this is a major bug that makes unusable a hardware section. Can you please clarify please? Thank you very much.
Update: I have read more about "scoped storage", and I think that the problem is only with apps that "need" to access beyond its own storage (like file managers, photo managers, etc). In that case, I think that the solution is just to keep with "old API" version of those apps, that will not have the Andoid 11 "scoped storage". I hope I am ok.

If you have Magisk: have you tried tze Magisk module mentioned here in XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-exsdcard-write-access-enabler-5-0-8.3670428/?
Hello ! I am still trying to understand "scoped storage" before upgrading my Note 10+ to Android 11.
Does anybody know what will happen if using an "old" application targeted for APIS older than 30 ? Is it possible that old APKs still are allowed to access the SD Card ?
Example: I have a couple of apps (file managers type) used to do some back-ups to the SD Card. Using AppChecker, I have found that they are API 28 and API 29. So these APKs can still access SD Card under Android 11 ?
Thank you very much in advance.
