I can't figure out where to put my SD card.......I should figure that out before I think about a2sd....
Really though...apps to SD was a fairly large enhancement to Froyo...why would any Nexus come without an SD slot?

I'd assume my sarcasm wasnt as obvious as I thought.....
App2SD is needed when your "internal" partition of the memory runs full. As the size of the internal partition increased on Nexus S, App2SD is needed less than it was on older phones. If you want to, you still can move applications to the "sd-partition" of the internal memory.
Unfortunately it seems as if the memory inside the Nexus S is soldered to its board. No way to eject it except for the heat gun.
i know it doesn't have a physical sd card but it still has storage so i just figured there was a way to move dalvik to it.

How can I move an app to my external SD card rather than the internal 16 GB storage. I cannot find a way to do that. When I choose move to SD card is only goes to the internal 16 GB.

download astro file manager....its free on the market and has a cut/copy/paste/move function
Thanks for the tips...what changed with this phone? This is my third Android phone and installing to SD card always meant to the microSD card.

Its because the phone has internal SD that mounts as mnt/sdcard which is normally external on phones that don't have internal SD storage.
So basically, the expanded slot is mainly for files and media, correct?

yeah, but with the amount of internal storage available on these devices, i see NO benefit to moving apps to sd. that was a benefit with older phones, but it seems all the newer models coming out have ample room for app installs. apps2sd seems like a worthless hassle to me any more.
I have to use apps2sd because the Market seems to want to default all my installs to the system storage rather than what it calls the usb storage...am I missing something here? My Captivate defaulted to the internal storage and I would often move into the external sd. My Infuse loaded all apps on the external sd card. This phone seems to go to the very limited system storage options (only like 1.3 gig free). So I feel like I have no choice but to continue using APPS2SD.

What apps are you running that you need THAT much internal storage for apps?
Samsung typically leaves 2gb for internal app storage, the 16gb internal SD for media ect..
I've got well over 150 apps on my phone and haven't come close to using my internal storage.
Well, I need more than the 2GB of internal storage but not much more. Just not used to the way this phone handled app storage compared to my past phones.

Give Link2SD a try; it's fantastic and allows you to move apps, one at a time or multiples (under menu button) to the ExternalSD card (plus it allows you to do so much more, see link above). It sees the External card as it should see it, an SD card that can have apps and data on it. App2SD doesn't give you a choice to move to the ExternalSD card, it only moves from phone to InternalSD and vice versa.
How do you use the external SD card for apps and stuff instead of the internal?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
this is no single "setting" u can adjust, u have to do that in an application by application basis
well in other phone development here like the htc evo... rom developers there usually implement this thing called "app 2 sd" im not sure if our roms right now has this? but this will truly install all your apps in the sd card and even some of your "cache" that the phone generates. and it will not touch your internal sd card, you cann Google it for more info.. keywords : darktremor a2sd or cyanogen a2sd

You can also go to settings >applications > select the one you want to move, & if you can... you can move it to the external SD card.. one at a time.

It seems that your method move the app to the INTERNAL SD card not the EXTERNAL one
not for me!

I have App 2 Sd pro and it only allows apps to go to the built in 16 gig card. There is not a setting that I have been able to find other phone or using App 2 Sd that will allow you to use the external Sd card over the internal. It's the same on Asus Transformer.

Not so... In Manage Applications click "On SD Card".... any app that has a green check mark means that app is stored on EXTERNAL SD (Apps2SD).... unchecked means it's on INTERNAL.
do u really have that many Alps that u need to move them to external? unless u have a class 10 SD, and even then, you'll experience a performance hit
not that many
but I want to keep my internal 16 gig as clean as possible as it may have other data than apps
unless its a game, most apps only take 2-3 megs. Even a hundred apps isn't even half a gig. Not worth it on the skyrocket to be honest

That space isn't usable by you anyway. App installs go to a partition that you don't have access to.

The internal SD cards are in a completely different physical format than micro SD cards we're all used to. The micro SDs are made for transportation/transerinf purposes. The internal SD cards are soldered onto the motherboard inside the phone. I'm sure it can be done, but there's a good possibilty that it could completely mess up your phone rendering it useless. So, I would say that it's not a good idea to do so. Especially yourself. I don't know of anyone trying to do that kind of modification.

Your phone holds an 8 GB internal SD card. A good place for info on your phone would be either the LG website or gsmarena.com.

App does not work since ICS release. Apps must run off internal. There are workarounds but more hassle than they are worth.
Not sure why someone would even need this feature in this day and age. It was only invented to deal with shortage of space before cell phones caught up with the times.

Well this may be a stupid question (I tend to start a lot of threads like this lol) but is the memory of the nexus 5 just an SD card that's no removable inside the phone? And would it be possible to switch it out for another SD card by taking apart the phone and putting in another one? Im guessing if it would work someone else would've tried but thought I'd ask to make sure.

There's no internal sd card. The memory is soldered to the motherboard. Android just refers to that storage as the "internal sd card".

OK thanks I guess it was too much to hope for. 16 GB is enough for me but I was thinking it would be nice if we could get that extra storage for cheaper. But I guess if it were that easy then no one would buy the 32 gig lol
