Hi, this phone is amazing but the only problem is that it is always running short of internal phone memory as most of the applications are not stored in sd card. Can anyone suggest a solution for this? Is 'rooting' a solution? And if so, is it safe? And how is it to be done?
Please help
Thank you
Use SDMove to move applications to SD Card. It will show all the applications which can be moved to the SD card.
I would also like to know if we can configure the phone to use external memory as internal memory.
Please answer my question.
this question regarding internal (2gb) to usb storage (11gb) that provided by samsung galaxy s ii. I been tired of finding the solution for this.
This question is not about sd card and external storage.
please dont reply irrelevant answer here that not related to it. thank you.
Go to option , "Manage App" ( From the applications screen)
Click on the application which you want to move.
There will be a button "Move to SD card"
This SD card is internal memory (11 gb)
Please not that this option will not be there for all the applications.
so wat u want exactly ,u want to move apps to sd then u can use apps2sd app , but my exp is afta moving many apps the prblm starts so wat i do is use tb (obiviously) make a bckup an then i a restore 5,6apps at atime an i don move any app alamrd by app2sd..later jus move some apps to sd card ,not all of em having option...ive seen s2 dosnt handle heavy fully loaded apps...but even iam "exp" on this
You all ans my question is not related at all. You all so hard to und my question? Now i dont have sd card. I want to store my other 11gb storage tht provide by s ii. Because i no longer have space on my internal 2gb. Hope you all can und my question.
Please read my answer again carefully

Hi all,
As there is specific thread for our Xperia Sola, I created my topic here. Sorry if I was wrong :/
I have a question about the management of the internal storage and the sd-card storage. Because it seems that my phone is considering my "sd card" as the internal storage.
When I connect my phone to my PC, I can see the internal storage and my sdcard content (as I choose MSC as connection type). But I can't see the content of my SD card directly from my phone. I tested with EStrong file explorer and the folder "/sdcard/" point to the internal storage. Same thing with Solid Explorer...
So I took Root explorer to sse behind the scene and I understand that my sdcard is mount in "/ext_card"..
So, this behaviour is really annoying: what's the meaning to have a sdcard input if I can only use the internal storage ? As I have a external storage, I would like to not use the internal storage. How can I do this ?
Thanks for your answer
I Also Have The Phone And the System Is Same For Me Better Get Use To It
Your external SDcard (/ext_card) is only for photos, music and videos.... No for aplication data. Yea that's really annoying. But i have read somewhere that you can (after root) edit the mounting points and mount your SDcard to sdcard. But there is no one who tried that.
YES ! I tried that ! You need root your phone and then do this . Don't forget to move apps from "sdcard" to phone ! Now i have 8 GB Internal storage and 4 GB external storage I love SOLA !
is this realy work on sola? im going to try this one later xD

Ok, so it worked for yr sola?? give us some feedback here mate..
Although I seriously doubt it..

Ok, so I searched the forum a bit&found some interesting related posts, such as the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670626
U will see that it mentions an app called data binding, which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I'm abt to try it out on my Sola 2c if it saves the day, as I don't think we have a proper alternative..
u know, even if it is possible, if u run a Game located in a External SDcard, It would be laggy like hell, especially HD games. Because reading files from the external card is much SLOWER than the internal one. So...
Yep, but if it comes to that&u REALLY need extra storage, u must have an alternative. And it can't be that bad running apps from SD - i did it with my old ZTE out of pure necessity, as it has like zero internal storage available&it wasn't all that bad..
Plus, if u have the option, u can always leave the HD game for example on internal phone storage&move to the external SD other, not so "heavy duty" apps.
What I did was use Link2SD, as it looked more promising than the above.
I can't post the outside link as I'm a newbie just google Link2SD if interested, there is a very good guide of it at xperiablog.net, u can search it there too.
Let's see..
Testing Directory Bind ! It worked
Work on my SOLA using Directory Bind app ! :good:
Link2sd is also a good app - same philosophy (data binding is the concept behind both).

hey
first of al u mean that the "/ext_card" is the real SD card storage and not the "/sdcard"
and we are actually not allowed to put anything in it !!!
so what android use the SD card actually ?!!!
if its as Kevlud said so when i am sending an music or video file it will actually stored in the SD card and it will not get space in the internal storage ???
thanks 4ur replays u both
so can it be viewed by file managers in the phone?
so by doing this, file managers in sola can view external sd cards? and also when we connect the phone to computer, the computer can also view the external sd card? tq please reply asap..
Hi all
Do not bother
I have a Sony Sola., When the data on the memory card can not run the pump slipped. Should be on the internal memory. Whether a program that will fix the problem.
( Excuse my language is not good)
Hello guys, do you know any way to convert Sd card as internal memory or move apps from internal?
I know the default option that comes in stock android is disabled by LG, so im asking if you know any method for this.
Thank you.
