System update killed (almost) all apps on my SD card!

[Chum]

I accepted and installed the latest maintenance update this morning. After the phone rebooted I noticed that ALL the apps I've moved to the SD card would not launch! Note, I'm running stock OS and moved apps through the manage applications area of the settings.

The error message I received was: Could not launch the requested activity.

I rebooted the phone again and now I see that all the apps on the SD card (except for 2) now display the correct icons and work. However, the Movies and MyPiano apps show a generic market icon and give the error message above when trying to launch.

Ugh, annoying because I have to install the app (the market doesn't even think it is installed), then uninstall, then reinstall, and then move to the SD card. (If I try to move before uninstalling and reinstalling then I get an error that the app can't be moved to SD card when I try the first time.)

Is Android flaky about apps on the SD card? It seems that often when I reboot there is usually an app that dies and I have to do this dance all over again. Help?

The maintenance fix was supposed to fix issues with SD cards - that fix might be what caused your issues.

Unfortunately no way to back out of the VC upgrade according to zefie.

Or no way yet heh.

This is not related to the SD card issue we've all spoken about before. The SD card has never failed me on my current phone since I received a replacement a month ago. The SD card mounts fine every time, but SO strange that every so often after a reboot, apps are not working.

Here's another example... I just rebooted the phone and now the Urbanspoon app that I moved to the SD card is no longer working. The card is mounted/recognized and all other apps on the card are fine.

I had this happen before and I am not using the new software, randomly 3-4 apps from about 10 on SD will be grayed out in the application manager. A reboot usually fixed it. I pulled the card out and ran a scan in windows, it found some errors and fixed them. It seems to be fine now.
