seems like the only SD the phone sees for app storage is the internal SD.
you can't use externalSD for app storage/usage?
not that i can see i've tried to even go in and physically move games on to the sd card and then it wants me to fully reinstall the games so i don't think so i imagine its more for music and movies or thats what i use it for now anyways
i think it can't be install straight to external sd, but is there a script to switch so your external sd become internal, and internal sd become external

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.
I use a 32GB class 10 micor SD. I tried to transfer the isntalled apps from phone to the external SD using "App 2 SD". I note that the apps were actually moved to the internal SD card but not the external SD. The photos and the video can be saved to the exteranl SD though.
I am new user of Android phones. Did I do anything wrong or app just can't be saved in external SD?
the internal sd is your external sd for app2sd.
earlier phones didnt have an internal sd. so there it was written on the external.
maybe you could reroute the paths. but for an normal user this could be hard.
So I think all phone with intwrnal SD Card has the same poblem.
Can the problem be solved when upgraded to 2.3?

Jup, all phones with an internal sd have this probs afaik.
but you can change the paths, so the external card becomes the internal.
i dont know how the paths are routed in gingerbread, but it should be tha same.
if you want to change this search in the dev section, there is a description.
Since the phone in its smallest version only has 8 GB of storage, would it be possible to use the external SD-Card for apps without a problem? I know this could be a frustrating task on older phones. What happens, when the internal SD-Card is full but there is plenty of storage left on the external (micro) SD-Card?

Depending on the overall size of your apps, you may need to move them to your external sd card. Most apps support this, but some do not.
I try to avoid putting apps on the external sd and instead save my media there so I don't use up the internal storage.
To move the apps, just go settings, applications, select the app, and click move to SD
i mean like, i can play music from the SD Card, i can watch videos, my phone detects the sd card in the options but i cant transfer the app data to the sd card, it says that i dont have enough space left, and i have like 3gb of space left in the sd card
I have the Cyanogenmod 12.1 with the 5.1.1 Lollipop Software
I formated de SD card card for internal use but when I tried to move an app it gives me an error it says:: cat move app internal error what can I do and thanks
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you format it as internal storage, isn't it all treated as one storage? Therefore, you can't move anything to SD since it sees that storage as internal anyway? I've never used it before, but that's how I understood it.
No ,when you format it as internal memory it divides it in 2 when I m going to move and app it appears to move it to internal or SD card,,if I only format it not as internal memory it only gives me the option to move only music or videos
