I have just updated my Tablet Z3 LTE into Lolipop (latest version).
I choose to move some big files apps into my SD card, but after restart, my apps all become unavailable. They all became different icon which is impossible to uninstall or move back to phone memory. and they dissaperead from my apps list from google play store. Did anyone encounter this problem? anyway to solve it?
When I clicked on the unknown application (which is the apps that moved into SD card and became unavailable), it should application not found. WHen i try to uninstall it, it shows :The application was not found in the list of installed applications.
Also, I tried to reinstall the missing apps from playstore, apparently after installation the apps and the content can be opened, but the icon is missing, so I believe somehow the system fail to recognize the apps that has been transferred into SD card.

I have several apps installed on my HTC One V's SD card. However, the system has lost track of them, I can't start them. In the apps section of the settings they are listed according to their ID, like com.vendor.appname and are shown to be on the SD card. How can I get the system to re-register these?
Bye, Andreas
I use link2sd to link app, dalvik (dex), lib and data files of all 3rd party apps that I install to my SD card to keep the internal memory clean and save space. Most of the apps work but some apps like Subway Surfers, Rail Rush, etc. stop working after linking everything and REBOOTING the phone. Until I reboot, it works but not after that. When I try to launch them, I get "[app] has stopped working error". 95% of the linked apps work totally fine. Problem is only with some apps (these apps that are troublesome are mostly the ones that automatically get installed to the SD card. But even if they do, only apk is stored on SD card and the dex, lib, data are still on the internal memory so I still need to use Link2SD).
Any solutions? Or workarounds?

Install these minority of apps as the developer intended? , if it's only a few apps it's hardly going to swamp your internal memory.

Yeah its just a few but I'm afraid I wanna keep more such apps in future which might behave this way. As far as it seems, this problem is only with some of those apps which automatically get installed to the SD card (like subway surfers). I found a workaround that seems to be working. Firstly the app needs to be moved to the internal memory before linking (which I already did before). But there are two ways to do this: One through the Android system (Settings -> Apps -> SD card -> Select app -> Move to phone) and other by using the Link2SD app (Select app -> Move to phone). The second option solves the problem. If the app is moved to phone using Android system, then linked to SD card and rebooted, apps stop working. So, its needed to move it to phone using link2sd.
First, root the device using RootZenPhone.
Second, install Link2SD. Run it, and you will see that apps that uninstall on reboot appear as if they were on SD (it's not really that way, read below).
Tell Link2SD to move those apps to internal.
Done.
----------------------------------------------------------
How did I come to this workaround:
I first found that all applications that disappeared on reboot wrote data to /mount/asec, and that the data was wiped out on reboot.
I was trying to move apps to sd with different apps, with no success. But I found that Link2sd gave me the option to move apps to SD. BUT what it really does is not moving them to SD. It moves apps to /mount/asec.
That's where all the applications that disappearead on reboot had data writen to it.
I found, also, that all those apps appeared on Link2SD as if they were on the SD. So I moved all of them to Internal.
And it did the trick! Now applications don't disappear!
-----------------------------------------------------------
I don't fully understand this thing about applications in /mount/asec, and the apparent "confusion" that link2sd has about /mount/asec and external sd, but it worked. And I wonder if anyone with a deeper knowledge about Android could use this observation to also solve the issue about not being able to move apps to sd in this tablet.
Hi,
I went back to the basic and installed the official P228 ROW that comes as a system upgrade.
Problem:-
None of the apps are able to detect any bluetooth device. Although I can find them when I search it from the bluetooth menu in the settings.
I cannot move any of the apps to SD card. The option is not available even for the non-system apps
Can you please help?
Hi,
I have a stock LG LM-X410ASR (Xpressions Plus) that came with Android 8.1.0 installed. I installed a 32 GB SD card and installed a bunch of apps. On this phone, if you go to Settings/General/Apps & notifications/App info, you can tap on an app tap on "Storage," and then "Change" storage from internal to SD, if the app allows it. I did this for every app that would allow it, except for some that run better from internal storage, or whose widgets won't work right unless they remain on internal storage.
I've had this phone since the weekend after Thanksgiving, having bought it on sale at Wal-Mart. Since then, it's been performing well, until today.
I have Nova Launcher installed, as well.
I was updating apps in Google Play, and Castbox didn't want to cooperate, so I cleared Play Store cache and rebooted the phone. When I rebooted, I saw a lot of grayed-out shortcut icons on my home screens. DriveSync also had a failed sync. When I went to DriveSync, it wanted me to find the root of the SD card, again, so it could have permission to write to the SD card. When I tried to enable this access, I could see the SD card, but the hex name was not visible and DriveSync did not accept my selection.
Neither Astro File Manager nor the native file manager app would allow me to copy, move, delete, or create files on the SD card any longer.
I have rebooted the phone multiple times, and have been paring down my apps in preparation to do a factory reset, hoping this will solve my problems. Each time I've rebooted the phone, a different selection of apps was grayed out or missing.
At this point, I'm not sure whether I have an SD card problem or a hardware problem with the phone. I would like to find out so that I can replace the SD card or file a warranty claim with LG.
Would a factory reset followed by installation of apps that can be "changed" to SD storage, changing the storage location, and rebooting the phone be sufficient, or should I try this with a brand new SD card installed?
Thanks1
