USB Storage vs SD card - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have XXKB9 ROM installed.
When I goto Settings > SD card and phone storage, it has follonings
SD card - 7.38 GB (sub menus Total space, Available Space, Unmount SD card & Format SD card - Disabled)
USD Storage 1.52 GB (sub menus Total space, Available Space, Format USB storage)
Device Memory - 1.56 GB
When I try to transfer an app to the SD card, It only move to the USB storage not to my physical SD card (8GB). With some apps, this USB storage show as Internal SD card & the SD card as External SD card.
How to move apps to the real SD card (8GB)?
Also the menu does not allow me to format the SD card as that option is disabled.

u can swap ur internal sd with ur external sd.
in gingerbread firmware...internal sd = usb storage ... and external sd = sd card.
u can use this link to learn how to swap ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474
but use this vold.fstab from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151078

If you want to format external sd card then first choose unmount sdcard option from setting...then format sd card option will enable automatically...!!!

[Q] Moving apps to SD card

Hi there,
This is a bit of a noob question.
When I go to system setting I see 3 memory storage.
1. Internal phone storage
2. Internal SD card
3. External SD card
My question is, by default, do apps get installed on internal phone storage?
Cos it's only around 2GB.
Also, when you move apps to SD card by going into setting-applications,
does it move to internal SD card or External SD card??
Many thanks in advance!

Setting SD card as default?

Is it possible to set the external sd card as the default memory instead of the internal? When I download content through apps it defaults to the internal memory instead of the sd card. How can I set the mirco sd card as default?

Apps to SD Card

Has anyone figured how to move apps to SD card? My internal storage is getting maxed out
You should be able to go to Storage and USB in Settings and format sd card as internal

Move Apps to SD Card

I got a 32GB Class SD Card, when I inserted it on my P9 I use it as a default storage. But when I install apps and check them in the settings it says Internal Storage not on my SD card.
