Installed update - apps deleted from SD card

iamsarahsarahia — Sat, 25 Jun 2016 09:28:57 GMT

I installed the update yesterday and all the apps on my Sd card were wiped it seems I have to re install them one by one is there a way around this? My phone is now also listing 2 Sd cards and I only have one. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Also is there a way to go back to the old fonts/display etc? I hate that I have no say in Sony changing those when they release an update. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't look so infantile.

And finally although installing update should be done to keep your device secure (which I'm sure Sony are using to their advantage) the updates need to specify what is changing so I can decide if effectively want a different phone myself. Can the update notifications be turned off? The only reason I updated was to get rid of the notification sitting in my task bar!

Thanks

@iamsarahsarahiam

No unless you have a backup

Elaborate on the 2 SD cards

There are other home launchers and third party apps that you could use to customize your phone

Don't forget to send your feedback to Sony >>> Local support

Due to the new system update (marshmallow 6.0.1) it will notbe possible to install apps on your SD-card. So all the apps you hae installed there are lost. I didn't find a solution to deactivate the message of the new software updade on the front screen (IT IS REALLY ANNOYING) and I DON'T WANT the new update.

In Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) there is the possibility to fuse the SD-Card and the internal memory but I don't if this is possible within the new sony update. By fusing the memory your data on the phone will be encrypted ant you will not be able to load data from your SD-card :-((((((

So, sony really did a bad job!!!!!!
