Boot source problem. Issue confirmed. Thread renamed.

I mentioned part of this somewhere before, but it seems to be a recurring problem. However it's gotten more complex. A few times now, after updating im noticing apps ive installed have gone missing. This has now happened 3 times.

Im also noticing every now and then after a fresh boot my phone says its running a previous build from a few days ago even if i just updated a more recent one.

Now I'm starting to wonder if sometimes im booting from SD and updating/installing apps there whereas sometimes im getting booted to eMMC and updating/installing there. 

My understanding is this shouldn't technically be possible, but i also understand that if there's a flip flop in the circuit, previous state could be affected by random conditions which could trigger a decision to boot from one or the other. That said, i haven't found some of my apps that have disappeared regardless of the version it shows im running

I haven't noticed this at all. It could be that I don't have an SD card in the phone so there is no chance for it to mix up the boot. I will keep an eye out for it in the future. I tend to keep a close eye on the version number but I will keep an eye out.
