Default Icons disappear from home screen

Some of my icons keep disappearing over and over. I put them back and then after a while they are gone. Anybody seen this happening or know of a fix? I also notice some apps get completely removed from my tab.

Actually yes they are in the sd card, but they auto installed themselves into the sd card; i didn't do it. But still, why do they disappear when they're installed the sd card?

It's getting fkin annoying to say the least.

I have a feeling it's moving apps around when you insert a microSD, extremely pointless

Maybe its the toothfairy? Or hipnotoad?

Maybe there is no spoon after all?

It's happened to me at least four times. I'm trying to nail down what the issue is, I have a suspicion that the way the icon was added makes a difference.

Adding it from the main screen versus holding down on the app icon in the app screen, though I've yet to confirm this.

I know but still. I'm sure there's a way to fix it.
