galaxy s3 touchwiz crash when I move apps to folder. Do you have same experience
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Never happened to me, have this been happening all the time since your phone been new?
Things i would try is reboot (guess you done that a few times) or do a factory reset but make a bakup before of your phone.
Sounds strange hope it works out somehow!
Why is this in themes and apps?

It happens when I move many apps to single folder. When I move 1 apps to folder and save nothing happens. The crash is under programs where you can see all apps.

My resolution
Hi.
I have the same exact problem with my SGS3. If I move more than one at a time to the folder the Touchwiz crashes.
My own resolution is to move one -> save, move another -> save and so on. This is slow but the only way to handle this at this time.
Otherwise the device is a really good!

Question
Hey guys I had a quick question as well. I sell these and I've had a few people complain about this. I can fix it by doing a hard reset, however when they reinstall all their apps ( at first we thought it was this causing it ) it crashes again. However, the phone has a ton of widgets and shortcuts on the home screen. Is that what is causing this? He does NOT use any folders. And anyone heard of a fix yet for this?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II from Optus.
I have installed all my apps on the phone, changed around settings, added folders etc and made it up the way I like it. Now, randomly or definitely when I switch my phone off and on again, all this changes. Apps move around, folders no longer exist and even after fixing it all and repeatedly saving the changes - it will all stuff up again.
I realise this is a bit of a pedantic problem and I do not want to seem fussy but WHY is my phone doing this? What can I do to stop it?
Many thanks for all your help!

Wat launcher are you using ? Try clearing the data and cache in application and set the icons and folder again.
Hope this helps!
if your using TW - appzorter is handy
Thank you!
I am using TW Launcher. It was the default on the phone.
Appzorter is amazing so thanks for that. I have also cleared the cache and data from all apps so we will see how long this lasts for, if it changes again I will use appzorter to its full extent.
Any reasons why I should change launchers perhaps? I am hearing Launcher Pro may be better..
Thanks again for the help.

Hi guys, well like the title says. My xperia S is deleting apps sometimes. Cant understand why. Can someone please give me a solution for this?
Well my phone is last days freezing sometimes, so i have to restart phone with power button + volume up button. And this auto delete issue is occuring last days too i dunno if it has to do something with an app or something.
When the file is deleted i see in the menu as title codes or some strange letters. And the icon becomes this standard icon of xperia s from systems.
I got an screenshot please take a look; there are 2 apps deleted, i also cant figure out wich apps they were, i only know my NOVA 2 game was deleted yesterday in the same way

It happened to me too with apps moved on sd.
When you restart your phone they will pop up again. At least for me it worked.
When u restart your phone, try to wait a bit more time before to unlock it.
Thanka bro. Solved!!

Have seen this on my previous Xperia S a reboot solved the issue and everything is back looks like a bug
Its to do with the internal mem, if you install to the phone mem the apps wont vanish , if you install the the " SD " some apps vanish . When you restart the system the internal mem fires up last on boot up , hence the phone seams to already allocate its mem to phone.
I hope this is fixed asap , as it bugging me !!
As to what apps get deleted, it seams random . I have 87 apps now on my phone , and don't want to start putting them all in the phone mem!

I have this problem as well i thought it wasn't just me. Sometimes my xperia s crashes randomly when im in an app(wtf) then when i reset the phone an app might be gone. It seems everytime you restart the phone you might lose an app. So try and dont restart till they come out with a fix...
Never had this issue,Maybe a factory reset ot format the sd can solve this problem.
I have this issue constantly with eBay, PayPal, Quickoffice and insider. I now leave these apps on the phone memory. Bloody pain in the arse.

That would explain why I've not seen it then.. Having such a big memory I haven't bothered moving anything off to 'sd' yet.

This will not help.
More to do with the apps not liking the transition over to the internal storage.

So its not just me then hopefully a fix will come and I'll move them to the phone mem for now thanks for the help

Never seen this type of behaviour on my XS, however what I did have on my older Android phones was that after a reboot you can see the app icon, but on clicking it it says "App isn't installed". This is purely for "SD" apps and after a few seconds (depending on the speed of your phone) you should be able to open them, but never had them completely disappearing.

I wish recomender and timescape would disapear.
I too have the same issue in my XS..started facing this from last 2 weeks only and my XS is about seven months old! Is there something I can get corrected within warranty period from service center?
hi guys,
have a strange problem, don't know if somebody face the same thing, each time i m restarting my SXS i find that i m losing at least 2 apks, its simply disappear from home screen and when i go to settings/applications i find its there but with blank icon and not working....
any ideas ?
Yes is happening on my Phone to i reboot again and the apps Comes Back.
Don't use the Phone during the mediascanning
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Yeah, I got the same issue. F***** annoying. Restart my phone and apps is gone, only a black and white paper icon on them and their process name.
Was not during mediascanning.
That's because you use a version anterior at the system apk
EG:gmail for timescape hehe
The system is 2.3.5
If you install 2.3 over it for work with gmail plugin timescape
When restart the phone it automatically delete wrong version
Even with a game that you buy on your old phone and want to run it on the S
EG:need for speed shift,you transfer
.data on the S then install the apk
And nooo license invalid and after boot the .data is auto delete (sound,files,ect..140M
This phone have security like a bank
Don't forget this :-D
Ciao
the same for me - sometimes apps come back after reboot sometimes disappear... not nice Sony
yep same here, i got that problem too... often use titanium backup for restoring
I've lost Browser and Conversations twice for now. Got them back with Root Explorer.
I am having the same issue. Randomly, 2 apps will disappear from the app tray. its annoying as i have to go back to the market to install them back. has anybody found any solution?
Same problem for me. My solution is I moved all apps internal memory. Now I have no problem.
Omfg...I lost opera, NFS shift, implus pro!!!
I'm not rooted yet, so if I reinstall app I'll lose data!!!
Disgusting!
Why does this happen?

For need for speed,if you not backed up data that on sd somewhere,
I think it be erased in external/.data
In my case yes,
i not find solution for.
Only buy the game again for this phone!
And redownload it :-(
For apk disappear at boot
I go in app setting and clear data,
It give an error
But now,
no problem at every boot for me
Always here ;-)
As previously mentioned, it is definitely a bug related to the installation on the "sdcard partition" of the internal memory, one way to fix it is to move all yours apps to the "internal memory" from the application manager.
Also the apps usually come back after a reboot or if you unmount/remount the partition.
About 2 days ago my galaxy S3 started crashing the app when i would i would copy something to clipboard in that particular app. Happened in messages, contacts, and I'm testing what other apps.
but no1 has figured out a fix yet. I am running go launcher and have a feeling that, that might be the issue. I really don't want to factory reset -_- but if I have to i will. anybody?
if you think that Go luancher maybe the issue, why not just download another launcher from the market and see if it goes away while your running that launcher ---- i would do this first instead of a factory reset.

just tried apex launcher, and even went back into touchwiz and the same problem occurs. ill hold down a message or a contact. press copy message text or whatever else, and the black screens and a FC. Stock browser and stock contacts. I tried copying text from an email, but the interesting thing now is if i go to long press in any composition field i don't get a past option. Just a "clipboard" option and pressing that doesn't do anything
Have you tried Wiping Delvik Cache and fixing permissions in CWM??
I had the same problem and a factory reset sorted it out....try doing it

Hi everyone,
I also had this problem, I found a solution without do a factory reset.
The app in question is TestService.
First you have to clean the directory /data/clipboard, delete everything in it with root explorer. After that, go to manage applications and find the app TestService, uninstall the updates.
After a reboot, copy/paste should work again.

What did you do? Having the same problem since last week. I hope you can help.
It will crash whatever you try to copy from. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed mine seeing as I didn't want to root my S III immediately.

read the link, there's a fix in that forum for rooted users
same problem on tab

Same thing happening to me on my samsung galaxy tab. Started two days ago, as well. Samsung tech support told me to reset to factory. I don't want to, I have too many apps, picture, videos etc on my tab. BUMMED I read about stopping testservice. Did that, still no joy. Said to clear data/clipboard folder. I checked, and NO clipboard folder can be found in my data folder.
