dropping apps

[Kalums]

ok so today my phone shutoff while i was in a call and now its dropping apps, i says i have skyfire and angrybirds downloaded in market but the app icons are gone and my signal is very speradic.. ideas?

Edit : there are other apps its dropping too..

mines do that too when i moved the apps to sd, don't know why

I have had that happen also. I think it may have to do with the sd card acting as drive when plugged into the computer. I have been careful to eject the drive from the computer, telling the phone to turn off the USB storage before unplugging. I have not had an issue since.

You guys are actually having the issues stated over on this thread:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s/43684-freezing-lock-ups-sd-card-issues.html

In summary: It seems they are finding that many SD cards that the phones are coming with are formatted improperly, and they are reformatting to FAT32 with success. Make sure you are always Safely Removing the phone from your computer before you unplug it.

These fixes never solved my problem (I was having the same issue) so I bought a new 4gb Class 4 Kington Micro SD card and have never had an issue. Some info that I gained from reading various different forums and bug reports on the issue (with other Android devices) have come to the conclusion that Class 2 SD cards have a tendency to cause problems with Android, and that Sandisk and Samsung cards also tend to have issues. This is all from a personal standpoint, and the formatting fix may solve your problem, this is just an alternate to try if you have not had luck formatting.

so class 4 is pretty good, I thought class 6 or higher was recommended

It may be, everything I saw said at least class 4, and I'm using that with no issues. If you can find a Class 6 that isn't much more expensive, then I would say go for it, you can only see better performance from Apps on the card anyway.
