Under "Applications", when I press SD it still just shows my USB block - not SD card. Storage options shows SD, but I want to be able to see what apps are actually on SD. Anyway to do this?

When I go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> On SD Card on gingerbread it shows some apps there. I don't have any apps installed on the SD card (all internal) so it's odd to see anything there. Anyone else have apps that are installed internally show up there? The list was always blank on Froyo builds

Which build are you using???
On my gingerbread build i see also apps in "sd card". On the right side of the screen is a button you can press. Then you can copy apps to SD.
In "SD card" you can see apps which CAN be copied to the sd card. It means not, that these are ARE on your SD.

Sorry, but the above statement isn't true. The tab "On SD card" only shows what is on there - not what can be moved there.
I've had this before, when I was switching builds quite regularly. Some of them had less memory available, so I was moving apps to the SD card, but other builds had more memory available, so I didn't have to.
I did notice that the "On SD card" tab would show me apps that I had moved there on previous builds, despite them either being installed on internal memory, or not at all since my last flash.
My guess is that there's either some sort of cache on the SD card of apps installed there, or it's easy enough for the OS to parse the card and find them.
Have you ever moved any apps to the SD card before now?

MDJ's CM7 v 2.6. Though I think I noticed this when I was using HyperDroid also.

I install all apps to internal memory. I have it set to force to internal. Also, my SD card has been formatted a few times and apps still end up showing up in the SD card list.

I was searching for this answer and seeing this conflicting information, I checked the Android User Guide available on Android.com and it reads
Touch the USB storage or SD card tab.
The tab lists the applications that must be or can be stored on your phone’s USB
storage or SD card. Each application lists the amount of storage it uses on your
phone's internal storage (even when not stored there, all applications use at least a
small amount of internal storage).
Applications that are stored on your phone’s USB storage or SD card are checked.
The graph at the bottom shows the amount of memory used and free of your
phone’s USB storage or SD card: the total includes files and other data, not just the
applications in the list.

Since this is the first thread Google returns for these search criteria and the thread not being too terribly old, I decided to post and correct the misinformation..

I just tested it on my phone and it's working fine.
Check if your SD Card is mounted or not, my old Galaxy S1 didn't always mounted it after reboot (bad card probably).

My sd card is new but do you think it is because of my cheap sd card
Hello,
I've been looking for an answer on the forums but the responses on this question seem downright stupid or at least completely off the mark. What i want to know is why when i try to move an application to the EXTERNAL SD CARD (Kingmax Class 10 32gb microsd) it says that it moves the application on the sdcard but when i try to view the folders and everything on the external sd CARD it's as if nothing is changed no folders are added and the size does not change. On the phone it says that the application is on the SD Card, is this a BUG or what exactly is going on?

I understand what you mean but if i look into the android folder on the ext sdcard there is no application even though i've set all my apps to be moved on the microsd. Are they hidden or something?

The built-in function is useless. See my blog for details.
Any app that I try to have search on either local storage or SD card storage for a file, results in a blank screen with the "Recent" view by default. If I expand the lefthand menu, I get options for my Drive account, Audio, Recent, etc...but no SD card and no internal storage. Is there a known way to force my phone to "redetect" storage? Or a possible alternative to re-flashing? I just moved over to 935T.

You can try to un-mount the SD card, then remount it. If your system does not see it at all, it might not be inserted correctly.

I have since figured out some genius that's part of the team who developed Package Disabler Pro decided that the external storage apk was "bloatware". Enabling the apk again instantly restored visibly. EZ Package Disabler is a better alternative, IMO.
That's good to know! I just installed pro yesterday. I haven't had time to use it, but now I don't have to! Thanks for your input! I'll go back to EZ!
Wondering if there's a way to transfer apps to SD. There is no option by defaul.

Go to "Settings>developer options>"
there you will find "force apps to external storage" option at the bottom. flip the switch and you are done.

Na, did you?
This option allow you to move apps to SD card.
Okay so I figured out that when you insert a new micro sd card, it is added as a portable storage and hence you cannot move apps to sd card, there is no option. But you can format your card from storage options and make it as external storage where you can move the apps to sd card. Just in case anyone was wondering.
