yea try those ideas first and see what happens, it might have something to do with amazon's servers if those two solutions don't work.
fyi i just downloaded today's free app and i had no problems, was a bit slow though but still works.
You might also try removing and reinserting your SD card.
Nice I took out the card and put it back in now the downloads are moving. How'd you know that lol and why does it do that? Thanks!

I've just noticed from time to time that the NT seems to stop recognizing the SD card. It has only happened to me a couple of times in the month or so I've had it, so I'm not too concerned about it, but since the Amazon market requires an SD card, that made me suspicious.
rebooting would fix the issue as well i have had the amazon video player say" you cannot play videos" reboot fixes the problem.
I did a reboot and it did nothing for me till i did the sd thing
Have you unplugged the NT from your computer without unmounting it? I have in the past had issues with that causing corruption of the sd card. You might need to reformat the card and start over.

Will the sun come up tomorrow? Who knows.
Every since root, my NT has intermittent brain lag when recognizing the SD card. Maybe once every 3 reboots. It's a very minor annoyance that's easily rectified with a SD card remount.

Hello everyone, I seem to keep having an issue with my desktop (no sure if that is the right word to describe the main pages where you icons and widgets are) icons will change to images of the android guy. It seems to happen randomly and frequently when I reboot my phone. It never happened on stock but I am currently running Team Perfection's Objection #2 with its RC1. I have flashed it twice and still have the same problem. Both times I flashed, I did a clean install. I flashed the dalviek cache, wiped the partition, fixed permissions...... This issue has also come when I tried Goldie 5 rom also. So far to remedy the problem, I delete all the icons and then I add the shortcuts back. Not a deal breaker, just annoying and I am curious as to why. I have tried searching on the web and in the forums here but having no luck. I think it may be the way I'm typing in the search. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated. I have included a screenshot of my issue.
p.s. this is my first question post so please tell me if I need and how to improve my posting skills.
Go into settings/applications, and move the apps from sdcard to phone.

They will show like this when the OS has lost connection with your sd card. You can.go thru setting unmount and then remount your sd card and they should show up. Not to be a doomsayer, but there is a possibility that your sd card is getting ready to go out on you. Mine exhibited the same thing and then died 2 weeks later.

I can't seem to thank either of your guys posts. I just wanted to say thanks for both suggestions. Totally makes sense, kicking my self for not thinking of it. This is why I love this site and flashing roms. Thanks to both of you again!

Please dont say that! This has been happening to me too, and I figured it was because the apps were on the SD card....so if the card dies, I will loose everything wont i?
Unmounting the SD card and remounting didn't work but moving the apps back to the phone worked. I may invest in a new sd card with a higher class. I am currently using a san disk 4 class. I want to keep my apps on the sd card because the partition seem so small on the phone and I find it easier for backing up purposes.

Not saying it is absolutely going to happen, but that is what happened to me. New card, no crazy icons.
Would at least back up everything important from the sd card.

This has happened to me as well. I just go into app manager and clear the ram then all my icons return.

I mean its possible. I learned from loosing over 500 pictures and videos how important it is to back up SD cards. There are many apps that can back it up for you. I personally use Google+ for backing up pictures and videos only when connected to a charger.
When my SD crapped out, it put my phone into a boot loop, which made me panic since I was an avid flasher on my atrix. Not sure every SD card acts that way. Of course, once removed, phone booted up normally

This phone has almost 2GB of storage memory for apps. And that is about the most I have seen for about any phone. So if you are using it up you must have alot of apps. Maybe too many as the phone is having issues keeping them alll in memory. Had similiar issues to this on previous phones when they were simply over loaded.
Also, I don't believe it is your SD card going bad. The phone doesn't save/move apps to your external (physical) sd card. It saves them to the built in internal/usb memory which is about 11GB. Even the EA/Gameloft extra downloads are saved on the internal/usb memory. You can connect your phone to your computer and see this. However when you unmout the external sd card the apps disappear. So how the 2 are linked is unknown to me. But that link may be the issue.
Got a 32 gb card just to be safe. I need a larger card anyway so I'll throw this older one on my camera. LOL
Thanks for saving me time

Thanks for the simple but effective tip. Don't know why I spend hours reading the non-geek forums, xda is the only one that has real, expert answers. Rather than "well if u press vol sideways and spin around three times while chanting gnusmas " or something like that.
i updated my phone to ICS about an hour ago and since then, my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't seem to recognize the micro SD card (the same one I've used in the phone since I got it on release day). The card is listed in the Storage menu in settings with the correct total and free space, but it doesn't recognize it otherwise. Trying to unmount it does nothing, no pictures are showing up in my gallery and the apps that are on my card are showing on my home screens with the default Android logo instead of the actual app logos. Anyone know how to fix this? The phone is not (and never has been) rooted.
The phone is working better without the card, but I can't view texts. It just says Loading... and the message never comes up.
Is there something I have to do to get ICS to recognize the micro SD card? Or do I have to do a factory reset and/or format the card (two things I don't want to have to do)?
Having the same issues here. I'm wondering if it could be something on the SD card itself that could be causing the problem. Like an app that is installed on the card or something. Thinking about clearing the card and trying it again.
Do a factory reset. With OTA updates an unrooted phones, a lot of people have problems. This is why rooted users wipe everything (factory reset) when flashing roms, because updating rom's without wiping usually causes random issues like this.

That's what I did last night (formatted the SD card) and my phone hasn't rebooted since then. Probably an app on the card that wasn't working with ICS.
I finally found it!
After hours of looking it up, i found the biggest issue I have ever had with my phone. Maybe second, after my down volume button broke (didnt fix that, ICS kinda did). Or maybe third, after my Micro SD card crashed, and when I went to repair it, it somehow wasnt the one the phone comes with...
Lets get on with this. I have waited so long, and thinking that they had a whole year to develop a perfect update, they screw it up.
I want to know why the hell the Micro SD keeps crashing my phone. I try to transfer the stuff, but it doesnt allow it. Should I buy an adapter and transfer the stuff to my pc? What will happen to all my game data? How do I restore that? Do I factory reset the phone only, the SD card, or both? I really need a perfect explanation what to do, and as much technological I am, I dont want to mess anything up.
And another thing, which might be irrelevant, but those other Googlers or HTC EVO 3D owners might have this same issue. Why is there a thick red border around the screen of my phone ( sometimes, it flashes periodically). I think its a developer option, but im not 100% sure. I really hate buggy software.
Oh, and if you guys didnt notice, or it might be just for me, but my computer doesnt detect my pc, and even the red charging light takes 5 minutes to turn on. If HTC doesnt do anything about this, im going to root, and believe me, I tried.
If HTC cant,help you guys can. Happy typing your response!

You don't factory reset the SD card, you format it. It's worth a shot, but if the card is bad it won't help.
First off, this happened when I got the phone when it was fully stock.
Now it's rooted, unlocked bootloader, s-off running carbon aosp.
Randomly my phone will shut down/off and will NOT power back on until I plug it into a charger (house charger, car charger sometimes works).
I;ve tried getting into recovery when it does this and it does nothing at all.
It's a PITA like today I was riding my mountain bike on trails miles away from my car and I was supposed to give my buddy a ride to work and my chain decided to snap (and of course I forgot my multi tool in my garage) so I had to walk back and had no way to call him and let him know.
I've read it's happened to other people and they had their phones replaced and it still happened, is this that common? what can it be
There is some instability with the new 3.4 kernel on certain AOSP ROM's from what I've read (not sure if Carbon is one of them). First thing I would do would be to flash a stable Sense ROM and see if the problem persists. If so, you may have a hardware issue. At that point you can take it in to Sprint and let them look at it. If you're concerned about the phone being rooted & S-off you can run Viperboy's RUU tool, which will restore your phone to totally stock condition.

Do you think it could be a SD card issue? My card is a few years old. I took my catf out and put it in I guess only half way and the phone shut off and did the same thing. I put it back in and un mounted it and so far its fine. I formatted it before switching from my epic 4g touch.

I'm backing it up to my pc and then buying a new card, 16gb's are $15-20 nowadays lol this one is like a class 2 or some low one, it's back when they were $30-35 a card. Thinking of a Sony or PNY class 10 at Fry's it's like $15-20 the sony is supposed to be up to 40mb/s

Similar problem with random reboots
I was on vacation and in the middle of the trip my phone just started going insane by rebooting on its own. Most of the time it would only get half way though the boot screen then shut off again. It varied how far through the bootscreen it would last then shut off. Occasionally the phone actually made it through the entire boot process, once i was at my home screen it would pop up the power menu and ask if i wanted to power off, reboot, or airplane mode. Then the three hard buttons at the bottom of the phone would flash and then it would shut off. This happened all through vacation. Also, the phone did not always recognize a charge, however, sometimes it did. Once I got home the problem stopped and the phone is not having the random reboots. I went to Gulf Shores, Alabama if your curious..
However now my sd card will not mount to internal storage and I cannot take pictures, use spotify, watch videos i have saved, etc. When I try to pull up these apps, the phone says no external storage available. The thing is, if I go to file manager, I can see the sd card and all of the files, its just when i try to open them from file manager, it loads the gallery app and then it tells me no external storage.
When I go to setting>storage, the option to mount sd card in the sd card spot works. But when I try to mount sd to the internal storage, it does not work. Im seriously confused as I did not download any new apps, or download anything at least within a week prior to going on vacation.
Im running..
CM10
S-On
Hboot 1.15.000
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
If Im in the fastboot menu, and I click bootloader, it says
SD checking..
Loading [PJ75DIAG.zip]
No Image!
I have done a factory reset and the problem still persists.
Any help would be great.

thanks for response, sorry for being late to the party.
I cannot mount as usb. the loading circle just spins. when i try to do it in TWRP, it wont let me either.
also when i go to wipe cache or whatever else, it said failed to mount sd card in the console log and it wont let me wipe anything.
when i go to storage in settings, the problem seems like it is with internal storage. under internal storage, it says "mount sd card", when i do this, i get a notification saying preparing sd card but then it goes away after about 2 seconds. then the internal storage area says "mount sd card" again.
I am willing to wipe everything because I got all my photos off the sd card so im okay with wiping it all and starting over. i already did a factory reset but it didnt help. unfortunately i cant wipe cache and other things so i dont know what to do. thanks for your help!

Randomly when I use either the stock camera app, or stock gallery, the SDCard will randomly disconnect itself and take about 5-15 minutes to come back up. Does anyone know a fix for this? I am using a sandisk 16GB card.
I have tried doing a FDR with wiping davlic and system cache with the same results, I have even tried re-installing the ROM on the phone with the same results.
Your card is going bad. Happened to my sanddisk as well. Back it up and reformat. Might help for a bit. It did with my wife's.

The problem is only in gallery and camera. I can view files on the card even in the same directory with any other app with no problems. I called sandisk already they said it is a software issue that I need to contact Samsung about it.

My card failed after one month and my wife's same sandisk class 10 failed after 2 months. It has been covered in the threads over and over. Sandisk had a known bad batch of cards. Mine would not work in phone but would in PC so I was able to back up. My wife was not so lucky and lost everything.

I have rooted MK2 but no Safestrap/roms. The last thing I updated was Titanium backup, a couple days ago.
Today, everything was great until I rebooted my phone to see if I could get better wifi reception at work, and suddenly my sd card is corrupted! for no reason! I had a ton of stuff on there, included all my backups
has anyone else had this issue? is there anything I can do to prevent this happening again?

I think that it depends on what the tweak did to it. The only best advice is to back it up to your computer every now and then.

I dont really have a fix for it unfortunately. Try taking the SD card out and putting it in a card reader then put it into the PC. See if the PC recognizes it. If it does then copy your SD card to your Desktop then reformat the SD card. I have had 2 32Gig Ultra Sandisks go bad on me (in my old S3) and got tried of it. Got a 32Gig Samsung SD now and have never had a problem.
good advice. when I get home this evening I'll try my adapters and see if my computer can read it from one of them. And then I'll back it up. And buy a Samsung card!
what a PITA!
