So I created a folder in my app drawer and put a bunch of apps inside, later on I will go to my drawer only to see all those apps back out of the folder and the created folder is still there just empty now. What's up with that?
Was this ever solved?
I'm having the same problem on an ATT Note 3 running stock 4.3.
Funny, I didn't notice that until now... I created a folder for launchers ages ago. Empty.
Recreated, filled, restart, empty. *shrug* annoying. I don't care much, the ones I make for desktop work fine, but I can see that being a real issue for some, serious bug.

I have a small bug but very annoying to me. I have a few games installed. and I just want to create a bunch of shortcuts to them stored inside a folder called 'Games' on the home screen. The first day i create the folder, it will work fine and open the folder. but then usually the 2nd or 3rd day it will not open the folder.
i have other folders for the same purpose created from that 1st day and they still work by the 2nd or 3rd day, but they are named differently for different apps.
I'm thinking the 'Games' name is interfering with some android processes or something.
Dont know if this happened to anyone else? my searches came up empty.
if someone could try it then post the results from the 2nd or 3rd day, i would be able to troubleshoot it further.

I've had that happen before where if you have a taskiller, home replacement the folders sometimes won't open. I usually just force close the home replacement or reboot phone and it works again

Hi Guys
Had a SGS2 for a couple of weeks now and have been enjoying it.
However one major niggle.
I've setup four folders: Games, Productivity, Creativity and General. Into these four folders I have distrubuted my apps accordingly. Then these folders were placed on my home screen. The problem is that randomly the apps move out of these folders and scatter themselves back into various places, either on my apps menu or even stranger within another folder. The folders on the home screen are untouched as the shortcut isn't in live contact with original folder.
This is on original KDD stock rom, no root. Anybody else having the same problem?
i have the same problem with one particular app - he keeps escaping from the folder that i put him in. he's a very naughty boy !
no idea why though. i think it might be to do with installing new apps.
do you use the touchwiz a-z sorter app at all ?
No. Not used any sorter or changed from icon to list view.
I think you may be right about installing apps though.

Question: I'm not being allowed to create new folders in Miui, anyone might know why? Or is anyone have the same issue? I'm able to create an initial folder and I have placed several apps in there. But when I go to create a new folder, it creates (essentially) a duplicate folder which then I cannot delete as it has the same apps that was included in the previous folder.
Do I just have to create several empty folders right off the bat? Doesn't seem like this should be necessary.
Edit: Ok, cannot create multiple different (content-wise) whatsoever. Using 1.7.15, btw.
I was having the same problem on my Nexus S. So I tried the same thing you did: I setup 4 different folders and copied an app to the first, another to the second, etc. All the apps showed in each folder... I then moved them back out, re-added separate apps in each folder and it seemed to work at that point. I closed and opened the folders a few times and even added a new folder, put in another separate app in that folder and so far, no duplication. Trying to organize now and hopefully it doesn't screw everything up when I'm all done. Seems like it's just a glitch.
UPDATE: about 5 folders in, it started happening again, so I moved the apps out and restarted and then moved them back in and no duplication. This is driving me nuts, if I weren't an OCD case.
Glad I'm not the only one suffering from this. Very weird glitch, though. Went back to CM7 already as it's a major dealbreaker for me.
this Is a new problem because it worked in the previous build.
Known Problem
I was reading up on this on the MIUI forums yesterday. It is a known issue that did indeed crop up on the 7.15 build (My birthday killed it!).
Workaround: Create a folder, reboot. The folder will be empty. Yes, I know this is annoying. Sorry. That's what's available. Thankfully I only need about 4 folders, so I only did 4 reboots. lol.
Anyways, they are working on it. That's the happy answer. Somebody linked to a site with crazy text where they are talking about the glitch, but I think it was in Chinese, and I didn't feel like going through a Google Translate.
Wondering if any one else is having this problem.. There are several apps of mine that don't show up in the app listing but they are installed. The only place they show up is in the folders that came on the factory install. The Google app folder for example has gmail in the folder but the app doesn't show up by itself in the app listing
I believe thats just part of how this phone keeps the apps in a neater arrangement.
wow i just seen this right after posting a thread about something like this
some how my sprint folder just came up empty an all the apps are no where to be found that was in that folder
i thoght it was just me but maybe not
Hello,
four days ago, the gallery in secure folder removed the option to move the pictures out to the normal gallery.
Do you have the same problem?
Where can I report the problem to Samsung?
Yep same. It just happened to me today and I am unable to get them out... Not sure wth happened but that option is gone!?!
Same thing happened to me. I figured it out.
They updated so you cant move pictures from the gallary app, on the secure folder menu u have to chose my files then images and the hold the picture u want to move out and press move out of folder.
Well that's a bunch of pull.... moving it.... just another step to do
