I know that not all phones have an internal sd card and and external sd card like our Captivates do. All the 'apps2sd' apps seem to move things to the internal sd card, not the external. Is there a way to move them, or some of them to the external sd card, like maybe backups and such? I'm running out of room on my internal 16gb card and looking for ways to free up some space.

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!
I just bought a SD card(8gb) to my SGS but my problem is that, when i'm about to download for example the sd card files(not the apk file) for Dungeon Defenders:First wave it says that there is no room for it on my internal SDcard so how do i install the files on my external sd card(2.5 GB left)? Is it something wrong with my sd card or is it just a setting? Because it must be possible to install the SD files to the external SD card and not just the internal SD card?
PS i got a Micro SD hc.
I am pretty sure you can't dl those files to an external, only internal. Try moving other files to your external to free up some space on your internal.
Thats what I have recently learnt,
its misleading to have a name apps2sd & not able to move apps to external sd.
Apps2sd, does mean moving an app to your external sd, just not the file for gameloft and other games requiring extra dl.

I don't understand what you mean, does apps2sd move the apps which don't require extra dl to external sd?
I don't think so as I cant move them to external by any means it only moves to internal sd partition.
My Captivate is running Android 2.2. I have a 2 gig external SD card. On the memory specs, it says the internal SD is 13GB, and the phone memory is 1.34 Gigs. I have the option of installing or moving applications between Phone memory or SD card.
1. Does phone memory mean the 1.34 gigs, or does it refer to the 13GB internal SD card.
2. When you install/move to SD card, which SD card is it referring to, the internal or the external?
They should make this a little clearer.

You app can be move either on your internal or external. I believe the app will move them to the internal by default.
As for your phone memory, I'm sure sure what you're trying to know here
i just kinda was writing about this
normally the apps get installed to the internal storage (the almost 2GB)
all apps2 sd methods install to the external SD
there is no way to install to the internal SD (the 13GB), that i have come across.
but it is really hard to fill up the 2GB internal storage.
for more kinda info see my thread from 10 minutes ago.
Apps2sd - internal sd? why the hell not?
I just got a new revo yesterday, and while poking around I noticed that the 12 Gb of internal memory is mounted as an sd card, while the actual sd card is mounted as a sub dir called _ExternalSD. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yep, you have 16gb internal and 16gb external
Yeah, but the point is that the internal memory is not being mounted as internal, it's being mounted as an sd card (with the actual sd card being a sub directory). I can see several problems with this, mostly with trying to transfer data. Or if you had a 32 GB card that you wanted to use for whatever instead, unless you can specify where a program stores stuff, it's going to store data on the "SD Card", which in this case is not the removable sd card. I guess if you want to transfer stuff you just have to remember to move it all the the "_ExternalSD" sub directory first, or you are going to plug your card in somewere else and wonder why there's nothing on it...
Not sure about your phone but mine saves to the real sd card. things i want on my internal memory, things i want saved on my sd card go to external sd card.
Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a way to swap internal storage with the micro sd card on the Z3C. Cuz I have used an android phone before which had only 8gb of internal storage and it was a jarring experience, I had to move apps to the sd card and always keep an eye on the storage, I didn't like that.
If there isn't a way then please tell me how do you manage your storage with that 16 gb of internal storage.
No, that's a pipe dream.
Only a few devices can do that, and from what I remember the Nook was one of them.
Just move everything to SD card if you're using Lollipop.
