Its a common problem. It may happen but need nt worry abt it. Urer can access it from commcare flower. Only thing that need to ensure application is working
We have recently been facing problems with the CommCare shortcuts (on the navigation and left/right selection left) in Nokia C2-01, they get reset (disappear) on switching the mobile ON/OFF. Moreover the settings (application access) is also disappearing.
In low literacy settings its causing problems as community workers find the shortcuts as the most convenient way of interacting with the application.
You always have that option, but shortcuts are the easiest way to make
users feel comfortable with the system especially in low literacy settings
where even reading Hindi is a struggle. Moreover, when we have limited
training time and we want CHWs to start using the app sooner , we need to
avoid getting entangled in navigating to the application and ensure that
CHWs spend more time using the application and get familiar with it.
Thanks for suggesting that it is a common problem, and I would like to
raise it to Clayton and the team.
warm regards,
girdhari

I just wanted to add that we had a similar problem during a recent
training- we put the application on all the phones (C2-01s), set up
the shortcut, configured the application accesses, and then turned the
phones off to save battery. Then when we turned them on to start
training the shortcuts were all gone. We eventually figured out that
it is necessary to open the application at least once after
installation before turning the phone off - at least that seemed to
fix the problem for us. Specifically we set everything up, opened
CommCare from the shortcut, and then clicked open demo mode before
closing the program and shutting down. Hope that helps!

Hello everyone,
We have recently been facing problems with the CommCare shortcuts (on
the
navigation and left/right selection left) in Nokia C2-01, they get
reset
(disappear) on switching the mobile ON/OFF. Moreover the settings
(application access) is also disappearing.
In low literacy settings its causing problems as community workers find

Awesome advice on the workaround! I've never heard that suggestion, but if
this turns out to resolve the issue on these phones, we should absolutely
put it on the wiki, as there are a number of project partners who report
this coming up.
Cheers,

What Jeremy has written below works PERFECTLY for us. We were struggling with this up till then.

Just to follow up on the missing shortcut and reset permissions issue,
we've uncovered one more step in the process that is required in order for
things to properly work while doing phone prep in Bihar:
The phone must be turned off and on after the app is moved/copied onto the
phone's memory, but before the shortcut and permissions are set.
If you move the app, set the permissions and create the shortcut without
restarting the phone, everything will disappear the first time the phone
restarts.
Awesome advice on the workaround! I've never heard that suggestion, but
if this turns out to resolve the issue on these phones, we should
absolutely put it on the wiki, as there are a number of project partners
who report this coming up.
