Most things will default to internal storage but certain applications will ask you.

If you mean things you are saving off from the browser, it is in the browser options.
Not just that how about apps also!?

You have to move those manually I think. Under settings>apps>manage apps. After that go into a few of them. If they can be moved the move to sd card with be available. I don't think it can be done by default.
I use the app below myself. Every week or so, I'll load up the app and have it move whatever it can over to my SD card. You can set it to do it all in one shot or app by app, whichever you prefer. You can also enable a Notification to alert you when an app can be moved.

Storing music...internal vs extrernal?

Hey guys. I can't remember exactly what I did but it seems like everything's saved on my SD card and almost nothing is in my internal storage. I have 10.67 out of 10.69 gigs free of internal storage while I only have .96 gigs of 7.40 gigs of my SD card left. 3 gigs are from music. Now my question is would it be smart to move my music to the internal storage or would it be smarter to move other things from the SD card to internal because as I said I basically have nothing on the internal mem

Bump...anyone?

It really doesn't matter. Some music apps only scan internal, so guess that's an argument for going with that option. Just know that a wipe rom will wipe your music. I'd get a 32gb external
Yea true. Hmm I just cannot recall what I had on my internal storage which is now on my SD card. Wish I knew what was taking up all of the space under root explorer I can see everything on the SD card I just don't know what I do and don't need on there and what is taking up all the space while my internal storage still has virtually no room being taken up. Also anyone running cm7 is the default under cyanogenmod settings>application is the box unchecked or checked for use internal storage? Mine is unchecked

How do I select my micro SD card as the default place to install stuff on 2.3.6 stock

Well as the post says. I'm running out of memory on my internal and for some reason nothing's going to my SD card

Settings>Applications> Manage Applications> the On SD Card tab at the top, will move capable apps to the sd card.

Thanks for the reply guys but Im not trying to move my apps to the sd card . Im trying to make the data that the apps download go to the sd card

I don't think you can. The internal storage is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, and apps seem to always put their downloaded data on /mnt/sdcard. Only tip I can give is to move all your music, pics and videos to the external card to make room for the app data.
Or, move game data to the external sd card when you're not using it, then move it back when you want to play that game.

Hey guys I figured out that cyanogen has that option to use internal or external sd for data storage. Is there a stock rom that offers it?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
No, at least not on any stock based android I've seen. Cyanogenmod was designed to be installed onto the ext sd card. The 'option' it gives is to use the internal, not the other way around. Technical difference, but nonetheless.
I've never seen a stock based 'prom' (that's for you gary) for any phone that had android installed onto the ext sd card.

Get storage analyzer. It's a free app that will tell you where all of your storage is being used.
Trust me...it will be your best friend.
You can choose between viewing files in the internal storage, the external, or the whole device. In your case, make sure your internal storage isn't full...and check for appears that was left behind even though you uninstalled the app for it.
Also, I'd check to make sure that your internal storage, is in fact full, and that it's not just your 2GB space alloyed for apps.

move to sd card
this app works great:
ZDbox (All-In-One toolbox)
ZDworks Co.,Ltd.
from the google play store.
Allows you to move many apps at once. It scans your phone at well tell you what all apps you can move your sd card, then lets you select and move them.
I hate game loft games. They leave all of the post-downloaded data behind after an uninstall.
Ok let me be clear there is a app to move gameloft data to external.sd for devices with built in sdcard and external sd to you move over to external

ICS, save msg attach to sd card

To all you daring sob's running an ics leak....
Do you have the option to save messaging attachments straight to sd card? This whole business of being saved to internal messaging folder and moving to sd card is getting cumbersome.
