[Q] Failed to move application. Not enough memory" when trying to move applications.
I've been using my google skills to try to figure this one out, but unfortunately, I did not find a single helpful post. I'm hoping someone can help.
When trying to move an application to the internet SD card, I get the error "Failed to move application. Not enough memory".
Problem is, I have 1.7GB left "On phone" and 11.3GB left "On SD Card". I'm using Apps2sd to report how much storage is left and to determine which applications can be moved.
I have read that if I had an external memory card, it would work. But I want to know if there's something that can be done so that we can move them to the internal SD instead.
From what I saw on a Nexus One, it appears that other Android phones don't have an internal SD card. So it would make sense that it moves it only to the external SD...
I just want input on this "problem", I'd really like to know why I can't use my 16GB of storage for applications! And also, enlighten other people that might come across this.
same problem here, any work around this issue?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Same problem. I don't want to use an external SD card. I just want to move the apllications to the internal SD card.

Anyone? C'mon folks! Why is this happening? How do we fix it? Could it be because of the lagfix? Using Froyo JL2 on a rooted and lagfixed (OCLF) I9000M.
Same here. As the previous posters, I am unable to move any app to SD.
When I try (through Manage applications), I get the dreaded "Failed to move application. Not enough memory" even if I have plenty of memory.
Is this a common problem? Are we the only ones experiencing it?
I am running JPY, updated through Kies after disabling the Voodoo lagfix and then doing a factory reset.
Please please help. At least let us know that it is just us and that it works for the rest of JPYs out there.

Received my replacement handset from Orange (UK) today. The GPS is locking on soo well, functions properly now.
I flashed straight to JPY via reg patch, tried moving an app to SD, get the same error message.
It worked on my old handset 2.2.1 JPY also but with subpar GPS. Today i receive a new handset with a different problem lol.
Any ideas...anyone??
Hey all .... the move to SD is only valid for EXTERNAL SD card, NOT internal.
I successfully moved some apps over after I slot in an external SD card for my SGS. Tried this after I read somewhere the 'apps2sd' tool is designed only for EXTERNAL SD.
Hope this helps....

So is the internal SD only for data storage, not apps?
I found a solution!
I had the same exact problem as you have, and after some rummaging around the interwebs I've found an answer -> SDMove
Just for the sake of information, make sure you don't have the phone connected to your PC via cable. Just like how it happened with me.
Also try SDMaid in market. It cleans the sd.
same problem
I have the same problem and I have an external SD card. Captivate ATT android 2.2 (for now)
i am using the cyanogen mod and have been installing apps to my sd card thru "managing applications". However, i found out that not all of the data is being transferred and some are still left on the internal phone storage. As u guys alr noe, the milestone has very little phone storage, so my phone storage are still quite full at times.
I've seen threads regarding partitioning the sd card so to install the apps to it. Does this really work? I mean is it better than the one mentioned above?
Can someone help with this? I'm new to partitioning so can anyone help by giving step by step instructions, or simply just justify whether this whole partitioning thing works.
Thx in advance
You may give Titanium Backup a try - it can force-move apps from internal memory to SD and vice versa. Long-tap onto the app-> move to sd (or similar, got a german one )
//EDIT: partitioning the sd card is called "app2sd" - there're scripts for this, but with memhack etc. I have enough memory for the moment, so I don't use it
hi guys for Android device developers :
Many many internal SD card issues happen to android phone. and i think will more and more in future , when internal SD card has error , why we need it to root system ? why we cannot put system files to external SD card that it like PC's hard disk. i think it's very usefully . so i hope anyone have this Ability can do it. when internal SD dead. we still can use phone with external SD card....
thanks and hope for your great work!!

I was hoping someone has a broken internal memory card (not hoping).. and has been successfully able to run firmware off an SD Card?
If so could you spare time guiding me how you managed to do so, and if you realy could just copy and paste the contents of your SD Card into a folder - so I may be able to test it on my phone to see if it turns on again.
It is currently in the boot loop. =\
Thanks in advance.

Search the forums, I have seen a couple posts about broken internal memory.
I was wondering if any one knew of a way to do it. In my optimus f6 days a Dev named Warrantyvoider managed to do this for us and it worked flawlessly I was wondering if any Dev here knew how to get it to work I have his original files he doesn't own a lollipop device so he can't really try and test but if someone here could I would appreciate it. His mod basically copied your whole system , data everything to a partitioned SD card . giving u more internal storage . a good class 10 SD card was needed and 2 partitions one ext 4 and the other one FAT .
If anyone has knowledge on how to make this work I think this would be very helpful for us
Thank you
