I found a nice RSS app I downloaded.. Says its a widget so when I try to put the widget on the home screen, the widget doesn't seem to be there in the first place.. So can you guys help me out with this? Thanks..
Btw, I have gingerbread..
have you moved the app to your SD card/SD ext>?
try leaving it on the internal memory of your phone, most widgets dont work on SD card.

I`m using app2sd on my desire and have moved about half my apps to sd card, but i`m finding i`m still running out of phone memory, my fault for buying navigon i guess (26mb for that mother!).
Do apps that are installed to sd card still use some phone memory??
I`m also finding that once its down to anywhere below 15mb (notification of low space), I can no longer download anything from marketplace.
I have to uninstall an app then reboot.
I thought the whole idea of 2.2 was to move apps to sd card to free up phone memory but its not having the expected results with me.
Thanks

same thing with me
any solution or idea about this
thx a lot
If the app is stored on the SD the davilk cache might still be on phone memory, if it is it will still use phone memory.
I think that is indeed the case.
I have moved Angry Birds (13MB) from phone to SD card, and now I see it showing 1.6MB. Which means 1.6MB is still on phone memory and the rest on SD card.
Ok thanks for the replies.
But how about the downloads not starting even when I have plenty of space left.
Thanks

I get the 'out of space' error.
However, the SD/Phone card storage says my phone has 65mb free.
I install all my apps to SD, just wondering why, with 65mb free, it wasn't letting me install to the phone.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks

Yes, it seems 15mb is the minimum threshold on phone memory to download and install the apps.
Navigon takes 26MB? That's a lot!
I have Sygic Maps and it takes less than 7MB. I can move it to SD, but I leave it on phone memory for maximum performance.
Try App2SD application from Market (which can be installed and moved to SD card). You will get a nice overview of all the apps that can be moved. You can also see which apps are the biggest.
I've got more than 60MB free space now on phone memory.
Hey guys,
As you know internal memory is 1,5 GB for Desire HD. And as a newbie for DHD, May I ask is there any limitation or problem installing the apps into SD card via apps2sd or something like that? Can we install every apps into SD card?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
You can but what for?
I have about 55 apps installed right now and 0.9gb free. How many apps are you planning to install? 500?

Thanks pal, I am not sure since I have used Iphone there are many apps and games over 250 MB I thought the same for Android but I understand from your message it's not
I know what you mean I have come from a hd2 phone to the desire and loaded everything to the sdcard I have looked on the desire phone and there does not seem to be anything to say all apps or files to sdcard so I presume the desire does this auto ? or am I wrong.after all whats the point of the sccard if its just for music files and pictures and video if you cannot put all apps on this to ?
If you want to transfer apps to the SD card, just navigate to:
Settings--> Applications--> Manage Applications
Press on the app you like to transfer, and press "Move to SD card".
This doesn't work on every app, and it's not recommended to transfer some apps.
Thanks a lot.
Is there any way to find out which apss we should not transfer or the system already gives an error message If we do?
Some apps can't be moved to the SD card. These apps will have the "Move to SD" button greyed out.

Yeah, most games like Angry Birds and Pocket Legends (with some "weight") can be moved to the SD.
Don't move widgets to sd in most cases it will mess up the widget. Example poweramp widget will be messed up if app will be moved to sd, it's due to sd having delay only startup and somehow android cannot figure it out in think

Thanks a lot guys, from your experiences I understand that it's the best only games to move to SD not apps or widgets.
I dont know if you guys know yet, but i haven't seen it here, but there is this app called "gl to sd' moves your game data and app data to your external sd card, i know this has been an issue that you can only instal apps to te internal and ive seen this app that swaps the external sd with the internal, but what if you have a 16gb s3 and only a 16gb sd card -_- and no money, this app is a saver if you're a gamer like me, it works on all games, ive moved all my games to the sd card, i would post the link to the tutorial video but im still a noob :crying: so just search gl to sd on youtube and watch the tutorial, or just go ahead and download it in the market, but i highly recommend to watch th tutorial first, good luck! i hope this helps whoever tries it as much as it helped me :good:
ok. Here's the deal. I'd try to do this myself but I have next to no android knowledge other than how to use the things. I was going to get a 64gb card and do the ext sd swap trick I've seen on here BUT... half my hours were cut at work and I can no longer afford to get a 64gb card. I do have a 16gb in the phone now. I was hoping a way to make the phone think that 16 was part of the internal storage so I could extend the internal storage to the sd card. Does that make sense? Is this possible at all? Could anyone make it possible? If I added up the internal with my 16 that'd be 32gb which would be a nice size. I have apps in the app store that I can't install right now because of the limited 16gb (11 usable) space on my phone. I would really appreciate any help you guys could offer me in making my 16gb card work for apps along with my internal storage. Thanks so much!
Wrong section bro :/
Next time ask in Q&A section.
As for your question, as far as I know, that isn't possible. You can either use the internal or swap and use the sd card. You cannot merge both together, though.

What you're 'asking' would be to physically the hard memory of the nand chip - its not going to happen,
Best thing you could do is install what apps you could, then use something like titanium backup and batch move other apps to the sd card. Don't move widgets or any app you use as a widget to the sd card, or you lose widget functionality.
Along with this should be posted in Q & A.

yes yes it was posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry. It was moved to q and a so it's all good i guess...
as for my question, there's no way to join the two partitions together like you could hard drives on a computer?
if not... what is this app2sd about? If I used it would I still have my icons on the homescreens for all my apps or would it be some kind of fugly method of launching the apps on my sd card?
if I replaced my internal with my 16gb sd card would that give me a little more space since android is installed on the 16gb that the phone comes with? Currently my phone says it has 11GB usable space on the storage section... soooo if I used my 16gb would that give me 16GB usable? That'd help with my memory a little bit...
and finally... if I made the 16gb my internal... would it be possible to copy movies and emulator roms to the main phone storage since i'm using sd for apps at that point, or does that just totally negate the internal storage for everything?
sorry to ask so many questions. thanks for the help in advance. sorry about posting in the wrong section.

This is a really confusing question. Have you filled up your internal storage with apps? If so you can extend larger apps to install on the sd card and they'll run normally, unless the app involves a widget. You should never move apps that have widgets over to the sd.

how do I install larger apps to the sd? Also, what would the point be of switching my sd to internal storage like that one mod floating around here if I can just use the internal and install apps to my sd as well?

Search for an app on the market called App 2 SD. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it without a 3rd party app on this phone.

ya i searched for app2sd in the marketplace and they don't work. i think there's only one floating around on the forum here that works with the s3 but i hear it's real clunky too where you don't have icons on your home screen you have to open app2sd and launch some stuff from there which is just weird i dunno. I might bite the bullet and grab a 32gb card and hope that's enough...
I tried the app2sd app and everything, but they dont seem to work at all, is there a guide out there or a app, or a root required way to move big games like amazing spiderman/dark knight rises to my 64gb ext sd card on my galaxy note 2? because i've been feeling like that sd card i bought with the phone is going to waste if i have to keep uninstalling games and installing ..
thanks in advance
