Help Apps "disappear" Occasionally

[wilberfan1]

Occasionally, on rebooting my phone, I notice that half-a-dozen or so apps have gotten "corrupted". Their icons on my desktop become 'generic" (a green droid) and the app won't start.

I can see 'remnants' of the apps when I go into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications--where they have generic "SD" icons.

I generally have to re-install these apps to get them to work again.

Any idea what's happening here?

Have you unmounted or removed the sdcard after moving these apps to it?
That is the typical cause.

No, I haven't, actually. That's what makes it extra annoying...

I have the same issue, its only certain apps after I move them to the sd card. Typically if I reboot they come back, it doesnt happen all the time and Im not sure why it does but it usually fixes it.

I haven't tried rebooting a second time--but I will next time. This time not only did half-a-dozen apps 'disappear', but it messed up some other apps: sipDroid, JuiceDefender... Pain-in-the-ass!! I've had to re-install/reset several apps...

I've had it happen to me a few times. Previously, I thought I had to reinstall everything from the Market, but this morning when it happened I just rebooted the phone and everything came back.

Very annoying!

This is getting to be beyond annoying... even tho my Droid X reboots itself on average 4 times a day, these apps still do not show in the drawer... I hate this phone/android
