I have an 8 gig SD card in my Atrix. Well, it's filled up already, but I have almost all of my internal storage still available. I looked at the card, and it's mainly filled with apps. How can I transfer them over to the phone's storage, so it will free up the SD card?

I seem to have trouble grasping the concept of Internal and external SD memory.
I purchased a 16GB microSD card with the hopes that I can move most of my apps to that card but when I use app2sd I always get the "Failed to move application, not enough memory" error.
When I check the free space it shows more than 13GB on both the internal memory and also on the microSD card.
Since my gtablet has 16GB of "internal" storage already, what's microSD card good for?
Shouldn't I be able to move apps to either internal or external SD storage or am I just not understanding how this all works?
Can someone explain to me in Layman's terms what I need to do?
Thanks !!
PS: I just now accidentally reformatted my internal SD card so I will have to start from scratch anyways ;-)

From what I understand, app2sd functionality is built into Froyo & beyond. No need for a separate app.
In laymans terms, your 16GB internal sd is split in 2, 2GB for apps & 14 gb for data.I have 88 apps installed & it is only using 492MB of the 2GB. Apps install to the 2GB area, but the (and the system) use the 14 GB data area for storage. You can also use this space for dat/files storage as well.
The external microsd slot is generally used by you for data storage. You can use it for what ever you like. I use mine to store copies of different roms/nvflash, movies/video/pictures & music transferred from the PC.
I'm coming from a phone with very low internal memory to one with 16GB. My question is around all the app data and where it would go in a phone with 16gb internal memory and not SD card.
Reason I ask is I would love to have all my apps stored internally and use my SD card mostly for music/pics..
Would this work or will apps put data in the SD if one is present.
another question would be what would happen if I have no SD card for a while, then I introduce the SD card..
All the data would be kept on the internal storage, which would be seen as a internal memory stick. If you put a microSD card in then it will store some data on the SD card but you could move it back by going to settings>applications>manage applications>on sd card
SD card you can put music,apps,pics etc.But i see two other storage Phone storage total space 10.48GB available 10.45GB and Internal storage available 1.9GB.Whats the difference between phone and internal storage.
I believe the smaller partition is the system partition. The larger is considered the sd card. Then there's the external sd card which is what you mentioned as being for music etc...
I'm on a custom rom of 4.0.4 and recently my internal sd card won't let me install/download anything. After investigating, I found out that 11gb of my external sd card is showing up in my internal sd, which itself is just 14 gb and that's why showing as maxed out. I can copy stuff into my external sd from internal sd but it doesn't matter. It's like am copying something in the same drive. Am thinking there's a fix to this. There has to be. I got a 64 gb external drive if that helps. Thanks.
Hi, my current internal storage is almost full (80%) and that has made my phone quite slow. I dont have nothing major in internal storage except the apps and whatsapp data. All pictures and music in on the 8gb memory card. I was wondering if i could transfer all my apps to the memory card. Is it possible to do that and install new apps on memory card rather than internal storage?
