Some of the apps will not let you, the developer of the app has to allow it to be moved to SD card. Just curious how many apps do you have installed?

There's an app on the market called APP2SD, from Infolife (there's another one that does the same thing). It will semi-automate the process of porting over any app that can be moved to your SD card.
Keep in mind for some apps, not all of the data is moved to the SD card, only a portion is. Hopefully this should clear up some space.

More storage space on my SD card

Is there an app in the market that I can install that will give me more space on my SD card. Thanks in advance. Happy new year everyone!!!

Like erasing old app data and such? Htc has a built it one for that.
But also since Android is basically Linux, it should support compressed filesystem. If the kernel has it, perhaps there is a way to mount the sdcard in a special manner that will allow auto compression. But that is likelly to cause some performance issues...
I do not fully understand the scenario. Could you please provide some more details?

Yes my SD card is out of space I was wondering if there was a app that I could download from Google play that I could put my stuff from my SD card on it for I can free up some space on my SD card. Thanks in advance!!!

do you mean to transfer apps in internal memory?
if yes then you can do it from settings>manage applications(or something like that)
but if you mean to transfer data then use any file manager ,go to settings and check the option for mount internal memory as writable
(personally i am using es file explorer)
I was meaning transfer zip files,apps,etc from my sd card to another app to free up space on my SD card.Does anyone know of a app in the market that I could use to transfer zips,apps,etc to for I can free up some space on my SD card. Thanks

You can transfer your data to your computer to store it and free up space, but as for an application, I'm not aware of one that will free SD card space. Best wishes

[Q] Installing apps to external SD

Hi,
I have a rooted Tab 7.7 still running honeycomb 3.2. I have applied the permisions fix to solve the writing to SD card issue and this works a treat for using the sd card for file management but it still wotn let me install apps on the external card. is there something I am missing or is it not possible to enable this feature?
Many thanks for any help

I think we were able to do that with Gingerbread and nothing else since then.

Erm, but i have a sensation xe (as below) with ICS and i have a 32gb card with many apps intalled on it.
Surely there is a way we can make the os think the sd card can be written to with apps?

but i dont understand - i have an htc sensation with ICS and this is fine with installing apps to sd - why cant i trick MY honeycomb tablet to do the same thing?
your solution, judging by the name, sounds long. It suggests some sort of mapping
Get link2sd from google play

So no answer i guess? thanks anyway guys.

Storage issue on my tab 2

Hi my tablet is experiencing storage issues although I don't have much apps installed... I have moved all the photos, videos, music on my external sd card, removed many games, cleared all the cache and now there is less than 500mb space available which is not allowing me to install new apps or update the existing ones also, my device lags a lot.
Pls suggest me a way to free space I don't know where all my space has vanished, I will also like to inform that I'm running on official 4.1.2 release and the device is not rooted!
Thanks

Yes i had installed app2sd but removed it immediately when I found its no use on my tab...I havent installed any virtual ram apps.
What's that circle?
If all your stuff is on the external SD already, try formatting the internal.

That circle is chat head of one of my fb friend. I have factory reset my tab and now its all fine, this is the second time I had to loose all my apps and data and its headache to download alk over when u dont have wifi.... what is the problem anyway why the memeory gets filled so much when I know there isnt much user data. One of my friend said its a jelly bean memory leak issue, is it possible?
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
