App icon automatically disappears

Report user repeatedly that my app disappears from the device and they need to reinstall it, all the data is still available.

My guess is that he problem only occurs when the app is installed on an external storage card.
Parameters in manifesto is: "# CanInstallToExternalStorage: True"

Question: If I set the parameter to "# CanInstallToExternalStorage: False" for the next update laws, what happens to the APP
on the device where it is installed on an external memory card?
If the update is still installed correctly?

As I recall, the app should be moved to the internal storage automatically.

I would first reach out to some of the customers experiencing this issue before implementing this change, however - see what devices they use, what interface it is (Sense, Touchwiz, stock, etc), what launcher they use, etc.
