Are you using the HTC widget? I've noticed using that, the folders I create often disappear.

What do you mean?
The widget on the home screen?
Yes, the clock and power toggle. However, before I did the factory reset my m8 did not has this problem.

The issue is with HTC Lock Screen which is clashing with apps moved to SD card. Uninstall update from HTC Lock Screen and your problem will be solved.

HTC wildfire loves mucking up after a few hours

Hi, I have the HTC wildfire A33333 model and it's been having issues with CyanogenMod where after a few hours, screens will show up blank from apps, however redrawing assets make them show. However, pressing where I guess them to be works. System assets cause issues too, the notification bar can have an invisible background and the keyboard will be invisible. Also the power menu is invisible, making it difficult to restart normally.
I am on the latest radio (20.10) and only use 3g and wifi. 2g makes these problems worse and reboots the phone, however my SD card isn't recognised.
My SD card is 16gb
I hope I can get this fixed

Which version of CyanogenMod are you using? And have you tried reflashing that CyanogenMod rom?

Apps added to home screen at times disappear on update

I have noticed at times that when an update occurs to some of the apps, this app if on my home screen disappears and I have to recollect and drag it back from the menu list.
This strangely doesn't happen to all apps but a selected few and that too not always to them.
Eg. It happened to xe currency app today and it has had so many updates till date but never before this have I seen this behaviour.
Also I have owned a htc desire in the past but never experienced anything like this.
Has anyone else seen anything similar. Is it a bug or a feature of the phone.
Thanks to everyone in advance who can help.

Happend to me with XE Currency, and I had it in a folder on my home screen, i can only assume that sometimes the app must be totally removed first before install of newer version, hence the icon dissapears!

Happened today with XE. Never noticed it with any other app, it seems its specific to this latest XE update.

[How To Fix] Strange things happening to my N7100

Hi Here is bunch of things started happen without reason and cant find fix.
1. Gallery app freez for over a minute and crash if the phone is connected to wifi, but works perfectly if connected to 3g or not connected to any thing.
note: i unchecked photo sync for every account because i noticed that when the gallery freezes the wifi traffic is too high
2. Homescreen picture changes after making or receiving calls from certain contacts .
It's interesting that you mentioned this-I have been having a weird wifi hang lately and twice I have had the home screen wallpaper Change on me when it happened

Whenever I reboot my Phone it asks me which launcher I wish to use. Even if I choose to always use adw.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

hi thanks for taking interest in to my thread
When exactly the wifi hang , because i noticed that when the phone is waking from a deep sleep the wifi takes about 5 to 10 seconds to get back to full signal .
Does the wallpaper changed after you received or made a call?

try to clear the launcher defaults then restart and then select the adw to be default.
the idea is to restart with the default cash clear. it may help , tell me if it worked.
My wife uses different ring tones for different contacts. The problem is that every now and then it defaults to the main chosen ring tone and have to set them again. I was wondering if any usual updates to apps may be causing it.
Anyone else with this problem?
May be that happens when she plug the phone to the pc to add or remove media . The media scaner that runs after she unplug may cause loss of assigned ringtones. If that is the problem try using airdroid from the market its free very easy to use. If not try to know when exactly that happens .

Thanks for the quick reply. The phone has never been physically connected to the pc. Only connections are via Bluetooth to transfer photos etc. Will check next time if anything changes after Bluetooth connection though.

I can't remember, to be honest.
My note is set to disable the lockscreen when wifi connects to certain WIFI routers. (work/home).
I suspect that might be the problem, but I can't for the life of me remember what program is turning on/off the lockscreen.
Never seen any issues when getting/making calls.

Strange thing: if I choose touchwiz to always open as default then reboot it doesn't ask for launcher again. If I choose adw it asks every time I reboot

Phone app vanished from lockscreen following update

So after my phone got the kitkat update, the phone app on my lockscreen no longer works. It instead displays the little droid like when you have an icon for an app that's no longer installed. Maybe the app just changed locations with the update, because I definitely still have a dialer app. But I use the stock lockscreen and I can't figure out how to change the four apps at the bottom so that I can replace the bad phone one.
Any ideas? It's preventing me from making calls from the lockscreen, which blows if I'm trying to quickly pull my phone out while driving or something.

Remove the phone from your dock on the stock launcher, and re-add it.

Oh, that actually worked. I have nova launcher so I literally never touched my stock one for more than five minutes after turning on the phone for the first time.
Thanks!

Apps disappear from homescreen..

Completely stock 4.16.401.10
Whenever I reboot my phone, any apps that I've, previously, moved to the external sd card disappear from the homescreen.
The apps are still in app drawer and run ok, but I've got to drag them back to the homescreen.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.
PS, no issues with pics or any other "stuff" stored on card.
I've no solution. Just to say I'm having the same issue

Don't know if this cured it but it doesn't do it now. I moved all my apps to internal storage because I was, also, having issues when updating apps stored on external card.
Moving apps to internal solved the updating issues and nothing disappears from home screen on reboot.
Might be a coincidence but no issues now.
I had the same problem, but found the issue. Latest HTC Lock Screen update is the culprit. Uninstall update from HTC Lock Screen and your problem will be gone.

Seems like they fixed this issue in the update from 06/11.
