Hello, I installed some apps on my Android 4.03 device - Nextbook Premium 7 SE. Some apps were on internal memory and some on SD card. Everything worked OK. However, when I turned my device off and then I turned it on, I could not find in the menu some apps from the SD card . I looked into Settings-apps and those apps did not have their title names, just some letters and dots (system names) and were gray. When I tried to uninstall them, it said "App not installed" and those gray apps disappeared. I installed them again, turned off, on, and there were some missing again. But different apps!

Do you know what is this caused by? If it was SD card problem, there would be all of them missing, would not they? And there were always some missing but some still installed and ok. And it is not caused by those apps themselves - because every time different apps are missing. Tried also factory reset and still it does the same thing..... :'(

Hey i faced the same problem in my android phone. I install the game cut the rope and played the game for 2-3 weeks.

After that my phone fell down and shutdown after that when i start the phone could not find the app cut the rope.

rest of apps where but only the game was not shown...


Does your all the apps not showing or some specific apps not showing?

Hey thanks for the answer. It is just random, which apps disappear. There are not any specific apps that always disappear. The only common they have is they are placed on the SD card. x)

I have installed so many apps as well as games in my Android phone. but, i never had any type of problem. It is possible that there is some fault in your phone. You need to check this.

It must be some kind of software error that stops the phone from recognizing the files

Ah! I got the solution!

This happens because the apps that disappear are on MicroSD. When booting the phone the launcher starts before the SD card is scanned. so the launcher doesn't sees the apps and thinks they are missing.

So what you have to do is the following, force close the launcher. you can do the following:
settings>Applications>Manage applications>all>SE Home > and press "Force stop"

this will relaunch the SE home and all the apps will be back!!!!!!!!
