Apps that have been transfered to SD card now don't run.

After updating the operating software last week any apps that have since been transfered to the SD card are not found after a reset or a long time being idle.

All apps that had been transferred before the update work fine.

Have tried downloading the app again and moving to SD card again but same issue happens.

This has also happened with apps that had worked before, then moved back to internal storage after they have updated and then moved back to SD card.

Is this a Glitch with the latest operating software??

Some where moved individually and some via the Transfer option.

Hi @Jayturnbull83, I'm sorry to hear this.

I just want to make sure that I understood you correctly. Apps that you moved after the update won't run while apps that were moved before the update do, yes?

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes that's right,

It was updating to software version 23.5.A.1.291

@Jayturnbull83

Does this happen with any app or just specific apps?

No has happened with six or seven different apps now.

@Jayturnbull83

Just to clarify, you are not using a third party to move them to the SD card correct? apps such as apps2sd card.

@uliwooly

No just moving them via the setting/apps option or settings/storage option.

Have tried resetting the tablet, also unmounting and mounting the SD card again, but didn't work.

@Jayturnbull83 Which version of the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is it that you have? LTE or Wi-Fi only?

Re: Apps that have been transfered to SD card now don't run.

Jayturnbull83 — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:54:13 GMT

@Christofer it's the LTE version but using it without a SIM card.

Updated my phone (a xperia z3 compact) to the same software version and do not have this same problem.

Photos that get transfered don't have the issue, only apps. Any ideas?

Only thing I haven't tried is to format the SD card and start again which I would prefer not to do unless I really have to.

Would it be possible for you to try the SD card in your phone and see if apps moved from your phone behaves the same way? Other than that I'm afraid that formatting the SD card would be my next suggestion.

@Christofer the test works turns out it is the SD card after all that has become corrupt. I'll be buying a new one today as can't format this one.

Thanks for you help.

Glad to hear that you were able to find the cause. Sorry about your SD card though.

Thanks for letting me know.
