Hi Guys..

I bought this phone (samsung galaxy ace) just 5 days back.. I am totally new to android platform.. so very much excited about this phone and the apps that android is providing.. I spent a day for getting habituated to the new UI (I used Samsung star before.. first version).. From the day 2 i started downloading the apps.. i felt :cool:..
1.Then some how i cleared cache so as to make RAM have enough space left.. thats it all the apps which i downloaded from the android market got disappeared :(.. I thought i have done some thing wrong..
2.so restarted downloading the apps again and then i connected to Kies in my laptop... transferred some music files and again i was :eek: to see that my apps again got disappeared again..
3. Tried finding solution in different blogs but didnt find anywhere.. started downloading few other apps and this time i switched off and on the phone.. again the same thing .. :mad: apps disapeared again...
this time i decided not to download any apps from the market untill i find proper solution for this.. spend some more time on the mobile and checked all possible option on the phone.. then i realized that the apps are present in the SD but are not accessable to phone.. In settings > applications > manage applications i was able to see the icons of the downloaded apps which are stored in SD and are not accessable were greyed out.. Clicked on one of them and felt :rolleyes: to see the option move to phone which i thought will work.. but when i clicked on that a popup came saying that "Failed to move application: Application not found"..:confused:.. Does any of you faced this problem.. Please help me out guys..
 
never hit clear memory just hit end tasks or else download task manager and dont go near the built in samsung task manager
 
I think there is no problem either with your Samsung ACE or the sd card. The real problem may be your 8GB sd card is not compitable with the phone(8 GB may exceed the max volume supported). So find the ACE manual and see if you can find info about supported memory card.
 
Hey John,

Galaxy Ace supports 16GB... thats what they said in the manuals.. infact i had the same problem with the 3GB memory card which i got with this mobile.. Now situation got worse.. Pictures which i took were also getting disappeared once after switch off/on of the mobile..
