After the app2sd update i tried it with most of my apps and even it was acknowledged that the app is now moved to the SD card, there were no difference in space usage neither on the Sd card nor the internal memory. It drives me crazy
ShadowGun THD for instance
BEFORE -------------- AFTER (APP on SD card)
Total: 643 MB.................. 643 MB
Application: 7,14 MB................ 288 KB
SD card app: 0,00 B.................... 8,16 MB
Data: 36,00 KB................ 36,00 KB
SD card data 636 MB...................636 MB
No CLUE I tried 3rd party app2sd programms as well = same result
Any one ?
Anyone ?
It did exactly as intended. It moved your apk to the sd card. The update does not relocate the app's data.

Thx for replying but what's the point of it anyway if it doesn't move my 1.2gb Game but its shortcut application so to speak.
I mean what good is it to save about 150 MB from 50 apps I dont get it

It is pretty pointless, which is why not too many people were excited about it after seeing how limited in scope it was going to be. Personally, I'd recommend using the pro version of Folder Mount. I'm in the process of setting it up on my phone and find it to be a better solution than Samsung's.

It's there a way to get the gameloft games to use an actual sd cards instead of the internal memory for the additional data? I'm running out of space too quickly. Thanks.

Look for App2SD in the Market. This should have been in Themes and Apps, BTW.
That's not what I mean. Games and apps look to the internal memory, which is labeled sdcard. Our sd card seems to be labeled external sdcard. If an app needs to install extra data, I want to know if there is way to get it to install to the external sdcard?

Im wondering the same thing. The only way I've been able to solve it is to flash cyanogen mod and it has an option there. I moved my modern combat 3 data to the external sd after i checked use external and it worked And it kept my saved data

Thanks I might look into that. This is the first Android phone I haven't needed to root or install another ROM on it.

There is a couple workarounds for this situation. Easiest and best way I like to go at it is just download "gl to sd" from the market. Pretty simple directions, basically it allows you to dl your app then for all gameloft games like 9MM, MW3 etc..and even some other huge extra data games it lets you move the huge extra data download to your external sd card and play the games as normal. It You wont notice any difference in speed,graphics, etc... I've saved myself about 8-9gigs so far easily on internal sd. If your a heavy game player or even occosional but dont want to bother copying files back and forth etc.. Make sure you go with a 32gig ext sd card. My 16gig started filling up very quickly once I found this program .
Any questions with the app let me know, the instructions are a little vague, but if you read reviews ppl explain in detail in case any of it confuses you, but its really pretty easy.
Have fun!
I believe tibu has a batch operation that'll move to sd. Not sure if it move to internal or external tho.
Thanks this sounds promising.

Definitely no way to combine the 2 as far as i know. (that's what wp7 does and locks the ext sd up).

What are you downloading? When downloading an app I think it requires the space to be available in the "device memory", that partition is where apps install be default and is about 2 GB. If you are downloading a single file over 19 GB, then you would have to move the files from your SD card to your phone memory to make the space available in a single place.

If you're downloading a file from your browser, you can set the default download location to your SD card instead of your phone memory.
If you're downloading an app and you're out of space, yeah your only option is to move some apps to the SD.
I don't use any phone memory I have 1 of 2gb free in phone memory but my phone says I have 10gb internal but I have used it all then I click "external_SD" I have 20gb open in that area

As explained above: you need to have enough room in the phone's internal memory. Go to settings/applications and move some existing apps to the external SD. I had to do this recently when trying to install Modern Combat 3.
I have room on internal memory for the phone it tlself the phone took my 32gb men card and split it into internal and external is there a way I can make it all one instead of two? I download tons of music and roms so I deal with the SD more than the device itself

Ok, all you need to do is set the default download location to your external SD instead of the internal. In gingerbread it's pretty easy to find in the browser settings...I have to assume that's where it is in ICS too.

Listen: the memory card IS NOT split. You have an external SD card. That's the one you can take out and hold in your hand. You also have another one of those that you can't take out; it's built into the phone. That's the internal SD card. Two different cards, not one split into two.

just like EVERY other phone out there, its advertised as 16gb
thats 16gb TOTAL storage.
it gets divided up into PARTITIONS just like EVERY OTHER phone
system
'internal' which is where APPLICATIONS get installed
/mnt/sdcard which is 12+/- GB of USER ACCESSIBLE SPACE *this is where stuff gets DOWNLOADED when you are downloading from the interwebz
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd (/mnt/emmc in AOSP roms) THIS IS THE EXTERNAL sd card...the REMOVABLE one
why do you keep thinking you are getting screwed out of space? or that anything is any different than other phones?

It's a much bigger issue than this phone. Read this.... http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_
So basically samsung is preventing the sd card from really being very usable on purpose?
Idk why Google did away with this feature. I just wanna store my game data to my sd and make it playable from there. I don't wanna swap extsd with internal I don't have big enough memory card for that. I know there are a few options but which one works for you?

Try directbinder.. or GL to SD.. or FolderMount
These apps basically transfer your data to ext SD and create virtual folders (without space!!) in internal memory to mount your app

+1 I love that app and bought it as well.
There are three ways you can do this:
1. Download and run link2sd- you should be able to download games straight to external memory.
2. Throught apps in settings- go to your apps, click on the app you want to send, and click move to SD card.
3. Through settings- you can go to the settings (Idk what section it is under) and change the installation place from internal memory to external memory.
Good luck and I hope this helps!
