I've recently acquired a D618. The previous owner already updated to Lollipop 5.0.2. I'm just wondering how I'll be able to install apps to the microSD card, because it fills up the internal RAM that quickly. Any help will be appreciated.
First of all, it's not called RAM.
You can move apps to the SD after they are installed.
Go to Settings > Apps , find the app you want to move, press it and then press "Move to SD".
Not all apps are movable.
Also, do you have root?

Thank you for your reply! The recently-acquired phone is not rooted yet. I have about 1.++ GB left in the phone memory. Do I need to root the phone?

Not for moving apps from Settings, but rooting gives you more options and the ability to move all apps.

If you gain root access you can try to partition a sd-card and use link2sd to really move apps to external storage. Do some research about link2sd. If you're stuck, let me know.

By default, internal memory call is "sdcard" and sdcard will call "ex-sdcard" , so, apps will install on "sdcard". it make internal memory get low when i install some apps with big data.
Now, my sdcard is free to 3,5Gb but i can't install any app because "sdcard" is full :crying:
anyone can help me solve this ?

The phone has the internal memory mounted on /sdcard, and the external sd card mounted on /sdcard/external_sd.
Many apps save their data on /sdcard, so in the internal memory.
I used this script to mount the data from my external sd to the right location (you need root and busybox):
Code:
busybox mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd/Android/data /sdcard/Android/data
Code:
busybox mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd/Android/obb /sdcard/Android/obb
This will move the data to the external sd. To move the app (apk file) you should use something like this:
Code:
busybox mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd/data/app /data/app
I'm using ScriptManager to run the scripts at boot.
Why on earth would LG release the phone like this? It makes sd cards useless. Apps don't use the sd card at all and install extra data to the tiny internal storage itself which is only 2Gb. I can't even download offline maps because I don't have enough space. Has LG acknowledged the problem? I'm going to return this phone because of this

LG added Apps To SD
Hi Friends,
I had decided to root my LG L9 once my warranty period gets over to get App to SD functionality added.
But now LG has incorporated this functionality in its May, 13 's Software update.
So now no need to root any more.
Just go and update your OS using "Software Update" and use App to SD functionality in "App Settings"
Don't forget to click on Thanks button.
Enjoy :good: :laugh:

I looked for a software update. I'm up-to-date. Can't move anything and can't find App to SD functionality in "App Settings". I would love to do this. I went from a phone with more space to this one and it's driving me batty that I have to uninstall 3 apps I'd kind of like to keep to update one I really want to keep. I got my LG Optimus L9 in July 2013 and it almost immediately had a software update. I would appreciate any help if this is at all possible without rooting.

My phone is updated. A bit more detail in the instructions would be very helpful. I'm tired of running apps serially (one after the other) because I have to uninstall one to install another. Either that, or instructions on how to increase the internal memory on the L9 would be very helpful.

Installing to sd card I have no solution for, but moving apps to sdcard (which is as good a solution as any) is simple to do with stock software. Go to your standard file explorer. It takes you default to external sd (being your external sd card) and sdcard0 (being your phone's internal memory).
You then tap on sdcard0; it shows you all the folders present there. At the bottom you see an Icon depicting a sdcard with an Arrow to it. As you want to move apps to your sd card you tap on it and it shows all your folders with a White empty Square. You then tap all the apps you want to move to your card and tap on "move" at the bottom. That takes you back to the startscreen with external card and sdcard0. You then tap on your external card and "paste". Job done!
Good luck!!
A friend of me has the samsung galaxy s5839i some times while the mobile run normally at menu e.t.c. are became tooooo slow at menu and at all.
These time the free memory from uninstall apps menu it is 20-25mb and if i free some of this memory it is became to normal speeds like it was before.
What you suggest me to do to make the phone work just fine everytime?
My friend it was buy one sd card 8gb without any difference.
And the fact is that it doesn't install tooo many apps.
It has install only 4-5 apps like(facebook, lighter, battery, aquamail e.t.c.)
The mobile it has the official android 2.3.6.
Do you suggest me to root it and if i did what apps you suggest me to uninstall that it doesn't bother the fuction of mobile?
Thank you very much .

If you want space, then root the phone and use an app called link2sd to move apps to SD card and free space. If you want free RAM space to make it more smoother, don't open too many apps in one go and stop any unnessesary processes and use a task killer e.g. Clean Master. If you want ultimate smoothness flash a custom ROM!

Custom rom like????
And my friend want the maximun smoothness.
If i can make it smoothness only with root and move all apps to sd then can you tell me a link to the link of root file for 2.3.6 and the link for unroot file.
The root or unroot became from recovery menu of the mobile correct?

Head towards these For Increasing internal memory
And For Root and UnRoot
No this increase internal memory of this mobile is really hard procedure and risky.
I want an EASY and very really workable way.
If simply root(NOT custom roms or anything else) it and move all the apps into 8gb sd card can i see any chance at the speed of the phone?
Can you tell me if this app can move apps to sd card to a samsung gt-s5839i even with stock unrooted android 2.3.6 doesn't allow me to do it?

And without rooting nothing is possible
About speed, yes your speed will be decrease little bit
And about App link2sd is most preferable .
So you thing if i ONLY ROOT the mobile and simply move most apps into the sd card the phone will work stable and fast correct?

No the speed will not remain as it is it will decrease little bit.. because of moving apps forcefully .
The speed when i power on the phone?
Correct?
When the phone it was powered on and it was scanned the sd card then the mobile it doesn't be so slow as it is now that internal memory it was fulled except 20-25mb correct?

Hi I'm new here i just want to ask if there is a way to unroot my lenovo A269i?, because every time i download an application it goes to internal memory and the internal memory of my phone is sucks, its not even let me transfer application to my SD card.. help me guys please thanks :laugh:
Not sure I understand...you want to UNroot because you don't have any internal storage left? Not sure I'm with you there. There are a lot of options while rooted to either swap mounting points for storages or use an app like Folder Mount to link folders from internal to external. If you aren't rooted, the ability to maximize your space is severely limited on most phones.

I don't see such an option. This could be a KitKat restriction, as I can't move say Type:rider to the SD, although I can move Speedtest for example. A silly thing (from Google) if there is no way, I have all the storage on my SD, but can't use it for large apps?

You need root access. First root ur device and install the "foldermount" app. Its an app that binds your obb or android data folder to your external sd. That's the only reason I'm rooted. The application won't ever brick your device. It free on playstore (u can purchase the premium version to support the developer and get extra features)

What I've observed is that some apps can be moved to SD and some can't. Being rooted and having link2sd helps, and link2sd will let you set the default install path to SD (with root). But some things like Chrome can't be moved. I think it has to do with hard-coded paths in some apps and not others. And then there's the Android 5+ nonsense about not using SD to promote the cloud. Might be worth looking into Ubuntu instead of Android. Sadly, Google is a company making decisions they think will maximize profit. Ubuntu doesn't have a vested interest.
2 gigs for one app, no way would I want such a thing unless I had a terabyte of internal memory. That's bloatware.
