Hello Everyone, I was hoping someone could tell me if there was a quick fix or if I need to do a reinstall & add something that I didn't add.
I noticed today, my phone telling me it is running low on space & when I checked, it said I only had 9 megs left on the phone memory, however it did show I still had 465 megs on the secondary sd memory free.
I decided to try & install an app to see if the sd memory would go down or the phone memory. Well, the phone memory went down, but not the sd secondary.
I'm looking at the storage & unmount sd card & format sd card are "grayed out"
I also do have a \system\apps folder with some apps, along with the same one under \sd card\system\apps which that also has some apps.
Is there something I can do that can fix this? Or something else I need to check?
The only thing that I didn't do originally was create a swap partition.
Thanks
i believe if u reboot your phone all apps get thrown into ext partition. also try using cachemate , that will free up tons of space on your phone

If you want to have your apps on your sd card then you need an ext partition. You cannot currently house your apps on your sdcard.
Hi I have upgraded my Galaxy S to Froyo with "official" firmware, everything is running ok, I also installed the OneClick LagFix (this change my quadrant from 892 to 1915) but now I only have 400Mb free in the phone memory, I would like to move some apps to the SD but I get the following error "Error moving app. There is not enough memory" (Possible this is not the correct message, i get this message in spanish )
I dont have a external SD, but I have 14Gb free in the internal SD, is not possible move apps to this memory?
Thx in advance
install Froyo, then you can run apps from External SD

yes, but all the apps needs to be re-installed and select External SD during install
or you can force them to External and hope it works with those 3rd party programs that moves apps to External SD
Thx AllGamers, I would like to install in the internal SD partition that have 14Gb free, because I don´t have external SD
Thx in advance
there are tons of 3rd party apps to choose from that helps you manage where you want your apps to go, check these out:

APPs into external SD card
I've a question, is possible to install the apps into the external microSD card?
I know that Froyo permit to do it but only into the internale SD card and i want to use the external one (i've bought a 32Gb for it!!)
Have you any solution?
Thank you!!
I've tried to send my apps to the internal sd card but whenever I click move to sd card it tells me I havnt got enough memory so I thought they go on the externel sd card?

Q. I can move an app to SD w/o problem but the data file that is consuming a large portion of my internal memo stays on internal SD. Is there a way to move the app and it's data to the SD?

I too have a 32Gb card installed.
You can move the apps and there are a number of 3rd party apps that will do this for you quickly or you can do it from settings in managing the applications. I found that this was not the space saving solution that I thought it would be.
It is the data that needs to be moved, e.g., DoggCatcher is my news reader and it had about 3Gb worth of data. Moving the app didn't save any space but using the setting in the program to move the data did the trick. Play around with moving a couple of apps and see what you get and check to see if the app will allow you to move the data to a new location.
Some apps simply stock pile a lot of data. My eBook program, Audible which I can't do without is another one - over 1.5Gb. I'll contact Audible about this one.
some times when you check on sites like AppsBrain
it will tell you if the App is App2SD compatible
meaning it can be isntall to SD also data store on SD
as mpierce said, it's pretty useless to force a program to SD, meanwhile the heavy stuff remains in the phone internals

Can everyone please read before replying?? He wants to move his apps to the INTERNAL SD (so do I) and NOT the external SD. This is not possible as far as I'm concerned. Got the same error as luishchorradas.

Hi
actually u cannot move ur apps to the internal sd card as internal sd card (16 gb) is only meant for media (videos, songs etc.) and if u want more 16gb for ur apps u will hv to put an external sd card (galaxy s supports 16gb) and ya if u move to sd it will move to external sd card.
Thnx

Thanx
Finally ... Thanx Coolfriend for you help
Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But I don't believe "move to SD" moves anything to the external SD card. The apps move to the internal SD card. Yes unmounting the SD card disables apps, but if you browse through the internal card, you'll still see them sitting there.
Me to, same problem, no google search helps :-(

sorry for necro'ing but it does indeed move it to the external SD, i've tried moving a couple apps with my Galaxy S to the, as it says, "move to USB memory" but as i check the free memory, it used the external SD memory, not the internal.
Hello All,
I have a new Xperia Z and have rooted it. Locked bootloader.
The trouble is that everything wants to go on the internal storage (which only has like 9gb left).
Nothing seems to install tot he external SD card. No option in the APPS section to move it either.
I tried using some Move2SD apps, but either they say there isn't an external storage or it's emulated.
So what can I do? I can't even download a small file currently because now my phone keeps saying that there
isn't sufficient space available. Which just isn't possible. I have like 25gb on the SD card and 9gp on the
cell internal. Something isn't quite working right I think.
Thanks for any help.

I have the same problem with my sony xperia L39u
I have updated my karbonn sparkle v to lollipop 5.1 today. The problem is that i cannot use the external sd card as default write disk as in kitkat. I dont want to root my phone. Can anybody explain this to me and give me suggestions as i am running out of internal memory? I have a 32gb card but since i cannot install apps in it(i can only move some apps there), it is practically useless. Please help....

What does phone stores on your internal memory? Apps or downloads, photos, audio-video recordings etc?
How did you update it? OTA or from a backup? If you flashed (or automatically updated) OTA; while the phone will store apps and app data on your internal memory it wouldn't store downloads, photos etc.
Hi friends,
Using Galaxy S5 G900H Variant with Lollipop. Please help me here. How can make my SD card as the default storage. Everything from the downloaded files to whatsapp folder.. is being used by internal storage. Please help me make my external as the default storage.
Default is the way it works, you can try the app foldermount, riding folders on the external SD so you do space

Hi.
Move whatsapp application to SD card. This might work.
Sorry, no such option . Just checked.

Pretty pathetic that Android still won't allow SDCard as default storage, how long has Android been around vs Windows Phone? And Windows Phone can already do it
If you're brave, you can root your phone and download an app called link2sd. Then you have to partition your sd card and you can move anything (to my understanding) to the SD card. I'm gonna do it tonight, I'll let you know how I go!
Partitioning went real well! I'm gonna add a bigger partition tonight. Feel free to PM me for details!
I personally thing its a bad idea as SD cards are slower than the builtin storage. I would like to be able to move more data to the SD card, generally keep all my media on the SD card and move a few apps. Keep rest on the internal and keep it clean.
I have a 128GB high performance SD card that has quick read and write speeds and it works fine for me- I reckon it's a matter of preference.
I'm around my link2sd/partition for about a week...
Hope you can help me!
