Running the newest version, which I've rooted and installed CWM on. I did this today and have had the problem for at least two weeks so it's unrelated. Every time I reboot my phone, (or it dies and I turn it back on) MOST of my apps have disappeared from my front screen. And the apps list in the launcher is reverted back to some default setting. For example, if I place Snapchat and Instagram on my front screen, they will disappear on reboot, but Root Browser doesn't.
What can cause this? I do believe I moved some apps from internal storage to SD card, or the other way around but this was long before I noticed this issue ( I THINK!). Any idea guys?

Hi There!
I am running Stock Galaxy SII and lately maybe 1-2 times a day my phone switches off. I am not sure why? How can I troubleshoot this? Are logs kept on the device as to the reason for shutdowns?
It happen me too with a stock rom when i tryed to move some applications from the phone memory to the SD (using the setting menu).
What i understood is that if you move appications that was auto installed in the phone memory, the phone itself start to be crazy and do random power off.
Now i flashed a custom rom and reinstalled all applications. I let applications to install automatically in the default memory storage position (sometime is the SD and sometime is the phone memory, it depend if the application itself is designed to work with the Frojo android version or not).
I noticed that now the phone stopped to do random power off so, i presume, the problem is fixed.
Hope this will help you too.
I noticed that my phones internal space for apps was getting full, so i moved some apps over to my SD card. Now, once every three minutes or so, the screen freezes, goes black, and then im brought to the lock screen to start all over again. I've tried moving apps back to my phone, but i must have moved about 50 or so. And because the phone is still launching and reading apps off of the SD, it takes a while to move them back to the phone...in fact, it takes so long that i'm unable to move them back before it crashes again.
Bad news. This has happened multiple times. Any fix? I don't have enough time before it crashes again to back up my settings, but it looks like i'll be stuck wiping. If you have a fix lemme know.
Phone: Xperia Mini ST15i
Android Version: 4.0.4 (Stock/Official)
NOT Rooted.
I have had "Boot Loop" problems on my phone in the past 4 weeks and I could solve it 3 times with simply taking out the battery for 2 days and then placing it in again and connecting the phone to the charger, it worked great all 3 times and I could turn it on.
Few days ago I was working with my phone and suddenly it turned off and went into boot loop for the 4th time, so for 2 days I left the phone without any battery and today I placed in the battery and turned the phone on and it booted and showed me my Buzz Launcher's Home Screen but it suddenly turned off again and it booted and again showed me Buzz Launcher's Home Screen but again it turned off and booted and showed me Buzz Launcher's Home Screen, it repeated for 4-5 times so I turned the phone phone and removed my Simcard and my SD Card and this time the phone booted and it showed a message: "Upgrading Android". (WITHOUT the SD Card and Simcard). This finished and I could see my PHONE MEMORY APPS were there (but they would not run...!), my messages were all there, my WiFi passwords were still there, but my contacts were not, even my Gmail accounts were still signed in.
I turned off the Phone and placed in the SD Card and it booted but I don't see my SD Card apps!!!! I have not deleted anything from my SD Card and the occupied space is exactly the same as 3 days ago when my phone was working.
My messages ARE there.
My WiFi passwords ARE there.
My PHONE MEMORY apps ARE in the menu but they will NOT run!! (one of the phone memory apps work: Viber2PDF)
My SD Card apps are NOT there.
My Gmail accounts ARE there.
For example "DU Speed Meter" runs but after few seconds it closes automatically... The same for few other apps, they open up and then they show "Force Close" warning.
What's happening? It seems like all my data is still there only my phone cannot access them?
My SD Card and Phone Memory both have the EXACT free space they had 3 days ago when my phone was working so it means NOTHING is deleted at all.
I found the solution.
Rooting my phone using "Eroot" and then installing "Titanium Backup" I could backup my data and then I wiped all the data from non-working apps and then re-installed the apps and restored the data (using Titanium Backup) and now I have all my data restored and hopefully nothing is lost.
Anyone else had this since the latest stable miui update? The GPS issue arose and had issues with various apps and games causing the phone not to respond, others would hang for ages then work eventually after it kicked back into life.
I went to the developer global ROM to see and the GPS worked but the app hangs still persisted.
I unlocked the bootloader yesterday and put lineage 14.1 on (official). Same issue is persisting. I've formatted the entire internal storage before flashing the latest nightly along with firmware and gapps.
Games such as Crossy road, smashy road, mario run all won't load just sit on a black screen. Dawn of titans however does seem to work.......
Any thoughts?? :silly:
Just tried the Disney version of Crossy road as a test.....loads then hangs on the 1st screen for an age.....then loads to the screen where you have to press the play button......5 app isn't responding messages later (after clicking wait) and finally kicks into life......not sure why all these apps hang for so long then eventually work?
Any options in developer options that may resolve this?
Just reinstalled the original game and eventually got it to load after freezing forever and a ton of not responding messages, then after selecting a gift to open the freezing came back again.....it's struggling with something as works fine during gameplay
No worries found the problem, was the micro SD card it's knackered.....didn't think it would affect the apps and system as there stored on internal memory??
Hi,
Something strange happened with my z5c E5823 running stock 7.1.1. Here is the riddle
I got a message the other day, saying space on internal memory is decreasing and the option to transfer stuff to SD card. Since there were almost no pictures and music on the phone, I keep them on SD card, there was the option to transfer about 2GB of Apps. I choose that (big mistake when I think of it now) .
I continued using the phone while the transfer was in progress and @ some point , the phone crashed. That never happened before. Screen froze and stayed like that for around 10 min, completely inactive, and the phone restarted itself alone. After this it all seemed fine until I tried to start the Camera app. It just gave me black screen and some seconds later the message - Camera has stopped/ Restart app.
The front camera and flashlight don't work either.
Another weather app - AcuWeather didn't want to start too, but after reinstalling it it was alright.
There is no such option for the camera app and clearing data and restarting didn't help.
Decided I will do a Factory reset for the first time since I use the device and tried a manual back up of all the info to the SD card. Contacts , personal info and settings backed up successfully , but the process hanged up at 50% when transferring apps. It crashed and stooped. Tried it 2 times !
Since back up wasn't possible I proceeded with the factory reset and after that the phone successfully restored my personal data, without the apps , but the camera didn't work. I did a Software repair with xperia companion with the same result.
Another bug appeared. When I pull down the full notification bar, and want to edit/rearrange the icons/shortcuts and press the little pencil next to the settings(gear) icon, the phone freezes for a few seconds and than the screen turns black. The phone is unusable at that point, thought it works, and receives calls which i can not answer. I only can restart it, because the power button gets me to the window for power off and restart.
Than I read some camera sensors might get disconnected from the board so I opened the phone , but it was alright inside. nothing changed.
Now I got an open phone and no answer or clue whatsoever of how to proceed.
Any ideas are very welcome!
I there a way to reset the phone to an earlier version of android?
Thanks inadvance!
