Missing app icons in app tray

AndysonofBob — Sat, 15 Aug 2015 13:16:19 GMT

I have a bunch of apps installed but I cant see them in the app tray or desktop. Roughly a third is missing

To run the apps I have to go to Google Play and 'open' them from in there. I obviously need an internet connection for this.

If I uninstall and reinstall the app, it will appear in the system tray but vanish at some future point.

Any idea what is going on and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks!!

Are those moved to external SD?

I might have moved them to the SD card I installed...

Quite possibly!

I can still see the apps in the app part of the settings menu too

This is the problem - Some if not most apps once moved to SD are rendered unusable and that's not a Sony issue but the developer which won't have updated their API's to include this feature for new'er firmware and or models - It could also be an SD card issue but more often than not it's an app issue

I think Rickard got it right in that topic,clearing data for xperia home fixes the icons for some of the apps moved.

Trouble moving apps to SD Card

MrReaper — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 09:15:47 GMT

Good morning,

Me Xperia E4 is starting to get no internal memory and when I try to move apps to sd card, works perfectly until I turned off or restart my device. When I do that, the apps disappears and I can't find the icons or run the apps.

Anyone know why happens that? And if there is any solution? Cause the internal memory is 400Mb and I need free space. I erased all data unnecessary.

Thank you for your time & help!

Reaper.

You probably have an issue with the SD card.

I have to agree with uliwooly, it's related to the SD card or to the fact that some apps moved in the SD card once updated they will return to the internal storage and all shortcuts from the home page will show a message saying "app not found" because that said shortcut is in fact not anymore valid.

You can't do this you can't save memory 😔

Every time you restart the phone the applications on sd card will disappear

Return it to phone memory then restart the phone
