OK, my HTC M8s (stock ROM, no recent flashing mods) has been playing up lately, seemingly just battery issues.
Today however it rebooted, and it's just lost its sh*t. Apps that were moved to the SD card are now lost/not showing up, my call history is blank (but contacts, photo's and other data are OK), and apps that were seemingly all up to date have suddenly decided they need updating again - these are not new apps either, they're like old HTC apps that were not even in use, and I doubt have all suddenly been updated.
It looks to me like some "cache" or storage area on the phone has been zapped, and reset to like a new phone. But my data seems (mostly) to be there, and apps that I installed (to main memory) are OK too, although their settings seem to have gone too (eg: one banking app is asking to re-verify setup info)
I just re-downloaded an app that was missing, to get it back again. The app installed OK. Upon checking the app settings however, it had located it again on the SD card (I did not do this, it somehow "remembered" where it supposed to be from earlier), but the settings and data of the app were not restored/visible.
Google settings too, like Play Store preferences (don't put apps on home screen) have also been lost and app permissions seem to have also been reset (eg: mail needed me to allow access to this and that again)
Anyone else had this?! Any ways to fix it? Seems very freaky and worrying...
