- I lose certain Home screen icons every time I power down my Galaxy Tab. This happens when I turn the Tab off, then when I power it up, some icons are missing from the home screen. Not all of them are missing, but it is always the same apps, or at least the ones that I notice, ex., AppBrain, ChromeMarks, Comics. These are the apps I notice are missing, not sure if it occurs with widgets. I think it only happens to apps stored on the SD card. Even after the device has finished reading the SD card though, these icons do not reappear. I have to add them back to the home screen manually. Has anyone else experienced this? Any insight will be helpful.

Add them on again. Restart the device and see what happen.DaEXfactoR likes this.01-29-2011 12:06 PMLike 1 -
- OK, tried turning it off, then on again, to see if it would happen, and it did. I am going to run a test to try and determine if it occurs only to apps with SD card storage support.01-29-2011 12:14 PMLike 0
- It appears that this only happens with apps stored on SD card. I added several shortcuts. The apps stored on the device still had shortcuts on the home screen, the ones on SD did not. So, it appears there may be an issue with the sd card or sd card support. I would bring it to Sprint, but there option is to wipe the device. I can do that on my own after I back everything up.
Thanks for your help.

FWIW this bug seems to have been resolved in the latest official update to Gingerbread for the Galaxy Tab.DNoble likes this.07-13-2011 10:07 AMLike 1 - For the Galaxy Tab this was definitely a known bug solely related to the Samsung proprietary Touchwiz interface. So for your device, it would probably be best to post your question in the HTC My touch forum section if you have not done so already. You might also ensure you've done all the basics like factory reset and installed all the latest updates as applicable for your device.
