How do i move my apps to my sd card?

i got a 16gb sd card for my phone i want to move the apps to the sd card itself but whenever i choose to move the app it moves it to the internal storage instead.

got the lg optimus elite if it helps any

How can it "move" to the internal storage when its already there to begin with? I looked up your phone it doesnt seem like it has 2 internal partitions does it? Because if your phone has an internal SD partition then you cannot move apps to an external SD card. Do you know what I am talking about?

if im looking at this right it says the phone has 889.77 mb of its own space and 1.93 gb of internal storage. in addition to that i have a 16gb sd card installed but have no idea how to move them from the internal storage cause i have more than 2gb of stuffRichard093084

Ah OK so internal memory is just for apps and external is for pics and music what a bummer had phone too long too return but thanks for telling meRichard093084

On your current phone if you hold off from installing very big games and offline map applications then you should be able to have lots of apps in 3GB space.

you can. there's an application available called App2SD that will let you transfer your applications to your SD card. If you want to set your applications to automatically download to your SD and not to your internal memory you'll have to play with the SDK a little, let me know if you want help.Goran209

There are still ways to get over this problem but they are far too complicated for the TC and for most users.

So basically I am using 3.6GB of apps. I only have one really huge game and thats max payne but now there are many other normal games as well which take over 100MB space so it all piles up.

[QUOTE="kraken2109"] Maybe i'm lucky then since my phone is too crap to play these massive games. I had no idea there were such big games on android.kraken2109

A phone should have atleast a 10GB internal partition I believe to avoid such bottlenecks. The 8GB galaxy S only has 3.5GB internal so ya it has this problem BUT since you are a power user you can get around this thing by changing partitions and all. Do read up on it I am not sure how it works out but there are threads trying to resolve this issue on xda. When the galaxy S was released it was not really an issue due to the size of games but now it is going to be. There is a 16GB version as well of galaxy S but I doubt your friend has that.

There is also the problem of people using cheap class 4 SD cards which brings lots of performance issues if you install apps on them.

[QUOTE="kraken2109"][QUOTE="Gambler_3"]And if you are interested in having offline maps then they are also going to use tons of space and they cannot be saved in the SD card either if there is already an internal partition.
