Default SD card problems

Some apps that I've pushed to my external SD card suddenly show up as not installed and I then have to reinstall from the market. Any ideas what's wrong?

Right now the phone is having problems when you store any apps on the SD card. Make sure they are all stored internally and that should solve your problems.

you have 4gb of app storage, there's no need for apps2sd especially since it breaks the apps, sd card and everything else.

But for me such as with evernote the data is stored on the SD card and the app fails when the SD card unmount itself and I have to resync it.

Yes, theres a bug in the software causing this to happen when apps are installed on the sdcard. Just make sure all ur apps are in internal storage and you should be fine, or is 4gb not enough?

Well until Moto provides a update you WILL continue to have the problems having the apps on your sd card. There is no way around it right now.

I agree it would be nice, but then again there are alot of things that would be nice, doesnt make them happen any sooner. You've been made aware of what the issue is, how to avoid it, and now can decide how you want to proceed from here on out.

never use the atrix 2 to format your card, do it with a card reader in windows

I'm on my 2nd Atrix 2. The first one had trouble with the sdcard as most of the people are writing about on XDA so I got a replacement. The 2nd one works perfectly with the same sdcard installed. In addition to fixing the sdcard issues, wireless works more reliably and call quality is better indicating they may have had some hardware quality control issues vs. software issues. If you're within your 30 days return period I would suggest getting a replacement.
