Moving to Sd Issue? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My issue is I am running out of space and decided to move all my apps to the sd card using TB. Okay once that was done all of the app icons that have been placed on the main screens dissapear after a boot up. Any one know why this is happening?
I went ahead and placed them all back to the main memory and know they stay where I put them. Some one please advise. Thank you

Disappearing Icons
I had the same problem ,and I read somewhere that they have to be on the internal memory in order to function.
They reappeared as I moved them back.
Perhaps there is already an app that solve this problem ?
Let me know if you find something.

Same thing happens to me. I would love a fix.

This is ridiculous! I have a 32gb card on this thing and I can't put any of my apps on it? Come on, really? Wow! I just dont see why we can't do this and be able to place them where we want and have them stay there.

Internet Explorer freezes my Tilt

When I open IE and go to a link, it will start to load and then it freezes the Tilt. I think it started when I moved the location of the storage (cache, history, etc) to my storage card.
Could this be the problem or anyone know of a solution?
I have come across this same issue. cache is on storage card. I'll move it back and see what happens....
I had the same exact issue and it got extremely annoying. It's because of the proxy--you have to disable it.
I came from a Wizard/MDA and was in the habit of trying to get everything on the storage card except the today screen. Once I moved the PIE cache back to main mem it has worked ever since. Stock ATT rom.
**Update**
Moving all Cache back to phone storage has stopped the PIE Freeze issue....
I too have had this problem and wouldn't mind a fix.

As posted above: DON´T move the cache to the storage card. The Kaiser/Tilt doesn´t like that....

HD Unusable Slooooooow

Has anyone experienced the following:
I have tried several different ROMS. After I flash the ROM things go really well. All is working, running fast and then after 24 to 36 hours my device just gets so bogged down that it takes a long time to do anything. Any program I launch will easily take at least 30 seconds to launch if it launches at all. If i soft reset it does nothing for the problem. I have changed batteries to see if that helped (of course it didnt nor did I expect it too). All that fixes it is another hard reset.
Does this sound like an issue i need to send the phone into HTC for? Possible hardware issue? Could a bad SD Card cause something like that? HARD SPL? Anyone else been through this? thanks in advance guys/gals

Have you used cooked and shipped roms too?
If you have not tried, try to flash a shipped rom and see how goes. If it will go well then try to reflash with your preferred cooked one.
If you have already tried a shipped one, I don't know, it's a little strange. If you thik to have a bad SD card, try to use the pda without it. But I don't think it can cause all the things you have written.
I had a similler issue and a clear storage solved it.
after flashing your HD or any other pocket pc with cocked or original ROM, it always recommend it to do a cealr storage from settings-->systems--> clear storage.
do a clear storage and i am sure your issue will dissapear.
good luck

What do you mean with "major problems"?
What you described is really weird.
I flash too all the time, but the HD never gets slow.
Is clear storage for your SD card then?

when i tried to copy stuff from my card onto my pc to back up the data it kep freezing up on my pc and became unreadable. i would have to take the card out and start again. Eventually i just formatted it and now it works great. No clear storage doesnt appear to be for the storage card but I tried it. I had so much stuff on my SD card that im sure my HD was trying to run programs and since my SD card was unreadable it was killing the device.
I had a similar problem, and I was forced to format my SD card too. Luckily I was able to save 95% of contents before to lose everything .I experienced some folders became unreadable (unaccessible), and card was full of "strange" folders with unreadable characthers and improbable sizes (I thought I had some terabyte ).
I think stock microsd isn't the best... Simply I must remember to backup it more often
Exactly like mallman, formatting solved the problem

Well the only difference is that my problem came back this morning which was after formatting yesterday. I have determined my card is bad so I swapped it out for a new card and we will see how that goes. If my device is having the problem and i just take the card out my device runs like a champ, pop it back in and slooooow I agree, I will get my card on a regular backup schedule very soon. Well, once my ned 16gb gets here. This 8 gig is just too small lol
I ran into a problem like yours when using WAD 2 on my Polaris with particular cooked ROMS that seemed to have a SD card problem....see post on Lakeridge here where someone pointed out to me where the problem was coming from http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14568&highlight=WAD+storage , the only way I fixed the problem was flashing to a different ROM.

checking it out now. I can tel lyou that this has to be the porblem because of course my 8gb card wasnt the solution because my device is dog slow AGAIN lol
edit: ok i will try a new rom and see. I have had this problem with Dutty's and Dav, if it happens to a third rom I will try th estock ROM and if it happens there I am spellbounded
HD is not slow. If yours takes 30 seconds to respond, something is wrong. I would take a look at the SD card. I used to have this problem in my Athena, causing constant freezes and soft reset. When I did a sktools benchmarking, it was clear that the unit was reading and writing to the card extremely slowly. I reformatted the card with incorrect parameter causing that problem. After reformatting with the formating parameter, my Athena resume the nomal fast response.

Check out Johnpatcher's barebone ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472972. I find it runs excellent but you'll need to archive CABs of your favorite programs. The performance I think is great, commented about that in the thread too (WAD 2 on the ROM), I have like 70% - 65% free memory all day.
ok testing touch of HD with WAD2 to see if I can replicate teh problem. (fingers crossed)

I had it running on Laurentis's ROM too without a problem. Shame he seems to have left. But i do really recomend the barebones ROM, at first boot it only used 10% mem.
Anyway, hope it works for you and keep those theme's coming

well i never had a problem with the shipped rom and WAD2. I can confirm that touch of HD rom also shows the same problem. I can try the barebones rom and see what happens then if it doesnt work i am going back to shipped rom because nothign beats WAD2 (in my humble opinion)
and ps. i have tried multiple SD cards so i confirmed that isnt the problem

Maybe you might want to PM those cookers to let them know about the bug, it was prevalent on many Polaris ROMS too for some time. Good luck, the barebones ROM hasn't had any problems so far, its fast and very responsive but lacks the bells and whistles of the bigger ROMS.
Now that you are speaking of, I can confirm I was using WAD2 (the trial, I don't think is important...) when I had the problem.
I'm currently NOT using at the moment because too many problems still with TF3D and no more problem with microSD card.
At this point I think I'll wait a little before to try again
I too would like to use WAD!
just wanted to report back so far so good with the stock ROM. Ive rebooted and done all kinds of things that typically kill it with the cooked ROMs.
strange story!!
maybe you make too many themes??

lol, im guilty!!!
Well just for everyone's knowledge, still no problems with stock ROM so I am willing to say problem solved. I cant run a cooked ROM and expect to use WAD2 I will start PM'ing all the cooks I see tomorrow and letting them know this and maybe they know of a fix. Thanks for all the help everyone

Why does my SD card keep disappearing ?

So I have to reboot my Galaxy S about 10-20 times a day -- every day -- because it disappears all the time. I have an external card in there too - but that too goes missing.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
no one knows why this happens ?
no one has EVER had their SD card disappear randomly and have to reboot ?
I don't buy that.
Apparently the 51 viewers as of this post haven't had this problem.
I certainly haven't.
Maybe someone that has, will show up.

It's just super annoying

Might help to know what firmware and apps you are running.​
maybe you need to format the card inside the phone using the built in format app. Maybe you have a fake card. Maybe you have bad phone, in that case get it looked at
happened to me for a few days too.
Went uninstalling everything (tried a bunch of podcast/rss readers trying to find something that could handle passworded podcast feeds) as well as the games I was trying out and a few apps.
Hasn't happened since so one of them had to be the culprit.

[Q] Lockscreen unlock delay

I am running SpeedMod Kernel K3-3 on stock LPY rom. On the lockscreen I use WidgetLocker (but problem also was happening before I installed this). Pretty much been happening since I installed SpeedMod.
When I click the home button the screen comes up fine. Sometimes I can go ahead and do the normal unlock procedure. Meaning I can grab the lock and drag/swipe to unlock and it works. BUT many many times (and possibly because of deep sleep) there is a delay. Basically my screen is frozen...I cant access the notification bar etc etc...and when the screen is about to blackout again (6-8 seconds) then I can swipe to unlock. So essentially there is a 6-8 delay many times from being able to actually swipe on my screen. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice on what to try. I have wiped my data from CWM already and still happens.
I was going to try and ask this under my rom in development but I don't have enough whatever it takes to post there. I have also searched and searched but didn't find this exact issue or a fix for it. I have seen tons of threads about the clicking of home button delay though.
Is this the 1st custom kernel you have used with stock ICS?
Have you tried any others like francos r6 as it seem to work fine with LPY roms?
first kernel I have tried. Maybe I will give Francos a shot. I have been reading a bit more and see that maybe it could be related to my SD card? Not sure why or how this could be but I understand that when it deep sleeps so does the SD card. I have nothing to my knowledge monitoring the SD card though so I dont know why it would freeze trying to access it.
unless your widget locker app is on your sd card i wouldnt see any reason for it to effect unlocking your phone.
The only thing I have really on my external SD card that is used by the phone is ringtones/notification/UI sounds. I have copied those over to the phones SD card and deleted the ones on the external SD card. Going to test this out to see if this worked.
UPDATE - that seems to have done it. Amazing. So I guess the bottom line is to not have anything that the phone system uses or needs on the External SD Card. Tones/Sounds/Wallpapers etc.

happened to me as well, i noticed that widgetlocker was on external SD, and is doing the same problem as yours. I noticed it when widget locker is always closing when using usb storage, so i transferred widgetlocker on PHONE memory and it worked, no more delays and force closes whatsoever
Dammit problem started back up again. Definitely deep sleep has something to do with the issue.

plz guys need help my sd card does wierd

Okay its realy anoying....
I have to much apps on my internal memory so i moved some to sd card. And after 10apps my touchpad says sd card removed insert a new one. Wtf...... --" and all my sd apps wont work any more did a reset backup all 3times and every time when i try coping some apps tonsd itbstar again. And now sd works but have like 50% of sd card games gone or force close.
Anyone had same problem??? Or is there a fix?
Yeah remove apps and blablabla but i have a lot of games who i like and apps are little and also he says that im runing low on memory sometimes andii have -200mb over.
Its realy ****...
I noticed this too. There seems to be a limit to how many apps you can have installed until the SD card starts acting wierd. My solution was to uninstall a bunch of apps I do not use. I haven't seen the error since.
yeah
