I'm quite surprised that you have any apps automatically installing on the external card at all, none of the apps I has installed have done this. My first question is why would you want to? Since you can store a lot of stuff on the external sd card and it's expandable (64GB cards just coming out although they are expensive) it strikes me that the external SD card is the perfect place to store them. That said, no doubt you have your reasons. While I don't know of a way to move already installed apps, can you not just uninstall them and then reinstall them while the external SD card is not in the phone? That way they couldn't install on the external card.

Remix OS, which came out yesterday, is a killer Android variant that brings a slick desktop-style interface to Android. Now, you can install it on a USB stick and try. Is it possible to install/move apps to internal usb storage. Android Apps and Games. Move apps from phone storage to USB storage.

Click to expand.I haven't used App2SD. I did it with the button in Settings-Applications. That said, it's probably a fair bet that your apps have been moved to the internal storage, ie what is sometimes called USB storage rather than the real SD card.

Most Android phones, somewhat logically, mount the SD card on /sdcard. The SGS2, somewhat illogically, mounts its internal (ie the USB storage I referred to above) on /sdcard and mounts the real SD card on /sdcard/externalsd. I haven't made much use of this functionality because, despite installing a load of apps, I still have 1.5GB free on the 'Device memory' (ie that part of the internal storage not available to the user), 8GB on the 'USB storage' (ie that part of the internal storage that is available to the user) and 16.5GB on my micro SDHC card so I'm not about to run out of space soon. Your best bet is to note the free space by going to Settings-Storage. Move a big app and then check again to see which now has lower available space. Hi all, pls correct me if I am wrong.

There are 3 types of.storage memories as far as galaxy s2 aka sgs2 is.concerned. Device memory - around 2gb. Internal USB Storage - shows around 11gb. SD card - the external card.

Now the option 'move to sd' or the application APP2SD transfers the apps from device memory to external sd card which you have inserted. For those like me, who still want to use already given 11gb, this process gives a error saying 'not enough memory'. The usb storage only has the pics n videos n songs which u hv clicked or wich you have transferred using kies. If anyone is out there with the solution about HOW TO TRANSFER FROM DEVICE MEMORY TO INTERNAL USB STORAGE.please post it here. People need the solution. There are 3 types of memory 1) Device Memory 2) Internal USB / SD 3) External SD Every time you install an app, it will put its files in Device Memory + Internal USB/SD or fully in Device Memory. For example, I installed Real Football 2011.

The EXE files are probably in Device Memory but the data files (500MB+) are in Internal USB. Some of the smaller apps are fully installed in the Device Memory. When you select to move from Device Mempry to SD, you usually get that option for the smaller apps like Bunny Shooter, Chess. I think it does the same thing like the bigger games, where the EXE remains in Device Memory while the game data goes to the SD. As for the external SD, I think some files does go there when you move to SD. 2 reasons; 1) There is a folder (hidden) called Androidsecure where data for apps can be found 2) If you mount and unmount/remove the SD card, some apps have problem running. What data goes where, is mostly determined by the phone/android.

To prevent problems and since IMHO the phone has large enough memory, I keep the apps in the phone memory. Sometimes when you install, I noticed that the app is already in SD. So I will click those and move that to the phone memory. Will do this as long as I have enough memory. PS - I use the External SD for songs, videos, documents etc.

Which is not required for running apps. And I don't used App2SD since the Manage Application in SGS2 can do that.

The move to SD option is still available whether you have an external SD card or not. If you don't have external, it will transfer to the Internal USB storage.

When you have an external SD, I don't know how the phone transfers, but I noticed the files appear in external SD. It might be that some goes to the internal USB storage (particularly the game data), but the user data (saved game etc.) goes to the external SD. Anyway, just to cut the story short, moving to SD will transfer some data from the Phone Memory (1.9GB) to another memory (SD) either internal USB memory which have 11.5GB or external SD (or combination there off). Hope that's a little clearer PS- To move to SD, go to Manage Application in Settings. Go to 'On SD'.

If there is a green tick, its already in SD. If not, then you can select that application and move it to SD.

You only free up the Phone Memory. Click to expand.Now here is a Classic case. I DONOT have a EXTERNAL SD CARD. I only have the device memory and the internal usb storage. I went to 'Settings' 'Manage Applications' 'On SD' tab. I don't have a green tick on any of the apps shown there. For example - angry birds, ninjump, opera mini, viber etc.

When i click on the 'tick' box, it opens the same screen with 'move to sd' option. When I click on 'move to sd'.same error:'( not enough memory.

If you are successful in transfering the data from Device memory to Internal USB storage.please let us know:-(. I am not sure why this is the case. Before I have the external SD, I tried moving to SD before and it worked fine then. I would hate unmounting the external SD card now cause all my ringtones and music is in there and probably some apps too. Unmounting and remounting later might screw up my settings and apps.

Will see if can try. Have the same error message without the external SD card. The thing is I got the SD card after more than 1 month playing with the phone and remembered it worked then. Don't know what has changed. I was using App2SD at that time. Guess you have to get an external SD as well. I am not sure why this is the case.

Guess you have to get an external SD as well. Actually unmounting does screw up some stuff. My ringtones will get reset, and my wallpapers too since they are in the external sd card. Meaning sort of have to redo it again. Don't know bout apps since wasn't running any. Anyway, I don't really think you need an external sd card if you don't want to. The memory given is plenty.

I mean most of the data files are in the Internal USB memory. All those HD games that are huge, most of the data is in the Internal USB memory. In terms of percentage, I actually use more USB memory than phone memory. So in my opinion there is plenty for apps. The external SD is only good if you got lots of files that takes up memory space like pictures, songs and videos.

I have drawings in my phone since I deal with those in my work. Sorry couldn't help further.

You can set the default install location to your SD card. Just be aware that a.) widgets, services and polling apps should always be installed to your phone's internal memory.

B.) Any new widgets and services installed after you set the default location must be checked and moved back to internal memory before using them, and c.) Even with the default location set to external memory, some apps will always install to internal memory. If you've got 2.2 or higher You change the default location to the SD card like this.

(And, once that is changed you can move even more apps to the SD card, even though they were installed to internal memory.) You'll need to have the Android SDK installed. Then on your phone go to settingsapplicationsdevelopment and enable USB Debugging. Plug your phone into the PC using the USB cable. Open a command prompt on your PC (startrun type 'cmd' press ENTER) Change directory to the android-sdk-windows tools folder At the prompt type.
