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.

its a bug of android not the phone this happen with the g1 and i believe the nexus one also. At start up the phone loads the system/internal apps first then it loads the sd card apps
Same problem here
Hello!
Just found this thread while google'ing the exact problem. I have a german HTC Desire Z with the latest available stock ROM and app icons keep disappearing after being updated through the Android Market or when being moved to the SD-Card.
Is there any solution to this except moving the apps to the internal memory?
Could this be a problem with the regular SD card which is being shipped with the phone?
A colleague has a HTC Desire with a Class 10 SDHC and cannot recreate the problem.
Thanks,
bicefish

you need the BW Animations Package to make that work..not sure whether it will work right since Beautiful Widgets is a paid app...good luck
I dont think you can discuss this here on xda. like stated above it's a paid app so it's considered warez.

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,
Jinx13
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 :
Touranaga said:
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.
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

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...

Hi Folks, sorry to post this here but I am concerned this could be an imminent something. When the phone was hooked up to my computer tonight I noticed some duplicate folders on my SD card - 2 "Music" folders, "Android" and maybe 1-3 more. I disconnected the USB and yeah, I see it on phone file explorers too! But this can't really be possible because if I had 2 Music folders which are 12 GB each I'd be out of space, right (it's a 16 GB card)? So what's going on?
Have u opened the folder and seen what's inside of them and how big the files r (if the exist)?
Sometimes I would notice some doubles in my music but the second file would b 0 bytes and I just dlete them

Did you use your SD card in any other phone, update your phone or flash a different ROM? It could be for any of them or apps you've installed. I don't think its a huge deal though.

The folders appear identical, right down to size, number of files, etc. And no, haven't done anything unusual or made any big changes.

Best thing to do is to backup your card onto a computer. Make those 4 folders and backup those files, check your pix and music on a computer to make sure they copied OK. Then reformat the card and restore so that it only shows 1 of each folder again. Sounds like the directory has become corrupted.
If that doesn't work then try using a different card

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been looking for the solution everywhere and you solved my problem so I had to let you know. My external Micro SD card would show 4 copies of every file and I couldn't work with them. After applying your solution I'm back to one copy of each folder when I connect to my PC and I can work with them again. Thank you again!
I'm gonna try this. Been driving me nuts looking for an answer so I've just been dealing with it. Was going to copy 100g of audio to the computer to format the card eventually. I'll let you know how it goes.
