Got a low app memory warning last night. Nook HD
No way to move internal memory hogging apps to sd either.
Anyway to increase internal memory by pulling from sdcard mem?
Thanks.

No. But your media files and your app data storage area share the same space. And if you have an 8Gb HD that can fill up fast if you have large games or a lot of media files. The solution is to either delete or move those media files to your external SD.

What's the memory usage mean under 'running' in the settings/ apps?

That is RAM, not storage. The Nook has 768MB of RAM available and has nothing to do with storage space on the device. When you move apps to SD, that is storage, not RAM. And Android has a very efficient system of loading apps into and out of active RAM. The user does not have to do anything at all.

Any reason to do this? Seems like the device is loaded with GBs so what are the pros & cons?
I feel like the biggest benefit would be to people flashing their phones a lot... No need to make back ups as they would all be on the external sd card. However, not all apps support this feature so i have never really tried it...

I like to have as much space as possible available so I can take long videos and lots of pics. Since I have a 32gb external card, I can keep all my music and movies on it and save my internal sd card for things I actually do with the phone.
So I'm still confused..what does "save to SD card" mean? Does the app and all it's data go to the external SD, or to the internal SD? Weird stuff..maybe it frees up the phone partition of the internal SD?
Hey note owners
OK so recently i bought a 16 gig micro SD card to expand the space on my note and i finally got it today and so i got a couple games with big data up to 500 MB to 1 GB. so i was wondering how to move the games to the SD, i mean i know there is an option in settings to move to SD but it only moves the game file to SD, i want to move the SD data to it too.
i tried manually moving the SD data to the exact same folder it was in the internal storage to the SD but when i open the game it asks me to download the SD data
so how do i move like everything from the game to the SD data to the SD card
is there an app for it???
Do you tried "App2SD" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=de)
Yes I tried it does the same, I want to move the sd data to sd card too!

You seem to be doing better than me. I got my new 32gb SD today and I've tried moving apps to SD (with apps to SD app) and it just moves them to the internal SD rather than my 32gb one. I really don't understand why they designed it to work this way
Their must be a way to move apps and their data to the external SD

I always choose to install application in device, it has huge ROM 2gb, i think enough to hold app. At presently i have 170 user application + stock still 700mb used, because big data n library by default saves to internal memory card.
And internal memory card hav better read/write capacity thn ext memory card, so it wont causing lag in running application. Ext card useful for titanium backup storage, ebook collwction, music, video, pictures etc.

This is true but its a class 10 card so quite fast and it would be nice to have the option. Especially when apps are getting so much bigger, i just installed gta3 and that's 500+MB!

Have not tried this on note yet as its got plenty of space. But on galaxy ace I have 16 gb class 10 sd card. I have created ext 4 partition on the card using clockwork recovery. I use Link2Sd to transfer apps to the sd card. I guess Link2SD needs init.d script support.
ok I figured out with trial and error that you cannot move the app data cannot be moved out but its fine with the new sd card I just moved every thing media vise like music, videos and pictures to the memory card and now I got a bout 9 gig out of 11 gigs on the internal storage and 5 gigs out of 14 on the external card, so now since I added all my songs to my phone I only need my phone for music when I go out and not carry my iPod but any ways I hope you guys enjoy your phone as much as I do!

So i bought this phone a few days ago its an awsome phone for the price first thing the storage it bogles my mind why i can't have the option to select which storage be the primary internal or SD for example i love racing game and one of the best games are Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 8 and they are big games and takes up most of my storage space and theres no option to move the app to SD card is this because android 4.3 does not support it or Sony disabled it for some reason? And i dont want to root my phone cause i have an extended warranty for the phone.
And an other question. How good is the battery life for the phone i keep stamina mode on what is the average charge for the phone for mixed usage?
Yeah you cant set sd card like primary storage.But you can use app called folder mount and transfer obb (data) files from internal storage to sd.Also you have video on my yt channel.

So i noticed that if I download game it gets installed to local storage and large obb file, when I go to the app in settings and move it to sd card, it does it and reports that it's now using sd card storage and for example the obb file is 1.6GB and so it shows this size on sd card too.
However when I use file explorer it is not correct, the large obb file is still on local storage and nothing been created on sd card.
It's a bit annoying you might as well not bother moving apps if it doesn't work properly.
Anyone with solution ?

From my experience, moving apps to your SD card is more of a hindrance than a benefit. Most times it still takes up room on your internal memory. Sorry I can't go full on technical. In my experience it's pretty useless unless you have adoptable storage like the HTC u11.

Of course it is possible. I'm just not sure it actually does it. It looks like it creates a mirror file in the EXT without actually removing the file from the INT. The best example I have is when I save music to ext on google play music. The google play music app on my SD is still like 4GB for some reason.
