Ok so don't flame me I did search the forums with the app.
Does anyone know how to change setting for apps and downloads to go to the sd card and not on the phone?

From what I've seen, it's not an easy task & not even always desirable. Many apps are designed by the Devs to Have to be installed on the internal sd. Since you've searched, you're probably aware of some apps that allow you to move some (but not all) apps to the external sd card.
Have a look at this link;

And as for searching, Google is sometimes a better place to search than xda..

Thanks for the info. I normally search google over Things like this but figured someone might have had the same question here on xda.

The internal SD card is not removable. You can store data on it like your photos and videos or documents, but very few apps will install to it. Until we get Froyo there's no way to move apps to SD cards
It's referring to "ejecting" it from your computer before you stop usb connectivity on your phone.

Thanks for the fast replys. I read somewhere that were getting the 2.2 update. Just dont know when. Thanks again

I've got 2.2
Get the Phoenix Rising ROM.
I've never messed around with flashing ROMs or anything, but Samsung isn't going to release 2.2 any time soon, so I figured it out, and I'm glad I did.
Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I've been at work all night.

If they are move then back to internal storage, there is plenty on this device do shouldn't be a problem, if not pass

Well I assume it's a bug as I also had this problem, but with this device there is loads of internal memory, so no real need to locate any applications on the sd card, unless they are massive.

The apps i sent into the sd are mosty games so , theyr pretty big, i hope htc fix this though,

To remove 3rd party Application please do the following steps: 1. from Home Screen Tap Menu 2. Settings>Application 3. Manage Application 4. Choose Specific Application you want to uninstall We advise you to please soft reset your phone. To soft reset please do the following steps: 1. Please turn off your phone. 2.

some developers enable it in their apps, some dont. with having root access, you can force them to to install in your sd storage.

As far as I've seen......no. I've got quite a few apps that I've forced to the SD, so far, no difference.

I can't say for sure in ice cream sandwich but I know in other versions if you force an App to the sd that has a widget then you cannot use the widget anymore. So that's one reason they don't maker it an option.

Actually now that you say that, it makes sense why the Facebook widget wouldn't work on my optimus when I forced Facebook to the SD....lol, I never really considered that. Thanks, it actually makes a lot more sense.

So yes, as the title suggests, I want to move my default app install location to my MicroSD card. I've seen lots of tutorials on how to move the default install place to the internal SD card, but nothing has said how to move them to the MicroSD. Thanks for your help in advance!

Are you sure you saw tutorials showing how to get info on the "internal" sd card? They normally go there. You sure it wasn't "external", that's the same as the micro sd card.

Actual you can. One way is to go to manage apps then select an app. There you will see a move to sdcard option. The easiest way by far though is to use this handy little app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidsail.dsapp2sd&hl=en
You can also use it to set the SDcard as the default save location. Some apps won't play nice if installed to SD though. Meaning they take forever to load and there widgets won't work. Why you would need to do this with a phone that has 2gigs of storage is sorta beyond me. The OP must have a metric crap ton of apps. lol

It is indeed moving them to the internal SD. Nice catch. I honestly never bothered to look at it. Just assumed SD was the external. Well you know what they say about assuming. Thanks for the catch.:laugh:

The best help I can manage is a suggestion to avoid this. There is a good reason it wasn't implemented, more than one. Unless you like your apps to dramatically slow down loading times and disappear on boot, that is.

Yes, I did a bit further research and found a way, but it required making your phone think that the external SD was your internal SD, and I just thought that might be too much. Now that you say that it makes it slower, I'm going to abandon the project entirely. I have enough space on my internal SD to store my apps, and I can live with only storing media on my external. Thanks everyone!

I don't so much have a metric ton of apps, rather a metric ton of spare kernels, nandroids, and rom updates.

I search for my phone in these forum but im not to find it
in anyway I have issue with my phone memory it too small anway to use the memory card instead ?
Try using the "All in one toolbox" app to free up some memory. However you can use the memory of the phone however it's not quick enough so you won't see hardly any improvements.
