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?

It does not move games data but the games application itself only.

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.

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 have mod 1.3 and I want to move apps form the interanl storage to the sd card, but it says not mounted. I can see it under file manager so i know the sd card is there. is there a way i can move the files.

Unfortunately, you can't. This topic has been covered ad nauseam in the developer thread. Essentially, Elocity has messed up the SD card mount points, and the OS can't find the proper locations to move the apps. We're all still waiting for a fix.

My apps are on external SD card except those that cannot be moved. I have posted information on how to do this in this general section.

hi guys!
I'm not so new here, but i think it's my first post. And a hope not start bad...heheheh
Well, i have a question. I just bought a mustang micro sd card (class10) and i've noticed that not all apps and games can be moved. I mean, what files are moved? Gameloft games are able to move but not at all. All folders with bigger files stay on the phone. And the problem doesn't stops here, the only options I have is to move files between USB storage and device memory...and not for external sdcard. I can see the folder external_sd, but how can I use this?
So, do I have space on external sd card just for photos, music and videos?? Any help is welcome!
Thanks for attention and sorry about my english!
any sugestion...?

I guess so or until someone creates an apps2sd+ or even better a data++ ROM as there are for the HTC Desire. Look in the dev forum over there for more info and explanations about apps2sd+ and data++

thanks mate!
still having headaches!
GPS, apps, games...i can't put anything on sdcard...on my other devices i can put a lot of things on sdcard\android\data
but galaxy s2 the sdcard folder is inside the fone, not the real sd card...
too bad...
The sdcard folder is just the SG2's internal storage. You have to go to sdcard/external_sd to access the actual micro SD card.
With 1GB of /data and 11GB on /sdcard I am not sure why you would need to move data to the microSD.
a 32GB card would be good for media and such though.

Foldermount, in the app store. Can't remember if I paid for it but I can put anything I want onto the external sd card and "pin" it so it looks like its on internal... Works well with a 64gb sd card...

COuld you tell me a bit more about this app? How to "pin" it?
You open the app, transfer the folder you want transfered to the external sd card and then you pin it using foldermount. It is really quite easy and the app shows you what to do the 1st time....
I've transferred my Android folder with all the appdata and obb files onto the sd card, a lot of the internal folders too. Haven't had any problems BUT I do have a class 10 samsung 64gb sd card....

I have the folder mount app and i have alredy pinned my deezer data folder since the beggining, even so my internal memory is still beeing used. As far as i can see its using both, the source folder and the destination folder.
How can i clear the source folder and only use the destination folder?

Yes, apparently when you browse through 'my files" you can see data file in both ext n int sd. But it should be using only ext sd if you have mounted it correctly. Try unmounting the game data, delete the profile from folder mount and remount it. Remember if you have done something wrong and tell. I can help you.

Yeah, i´ve done that several times alredy. Its still using my internal memory. Correct me if i am wrong but if i am downloading something to the source folder that i have pinned it should automatically go to the destination folder and don´t use my internal memory, correct?

When you use folder mount, you are prompted to transfer to destination folder and if u hit yes then it will be transferred. It works perfectly on mine. Maybe u should try formatting the sdcard n try again.

The files are there, there´s nothing wrong with the sd card, but they are also in the internal memory. I wish they weren´t so i could clear some storage in my internal memory. The app prompet me just like you sad but now they are both in the internal memory and in the sd card. I just wanted to use the sd card and not the internal memory.

Then first of all, unmount the game data in folder mount and delete that profile. it will prompt you to tranfer file to source. Hit no ( let it be on extsd). And then see whether the game file is still in the internal sd ? Or else try to mount a new game data present or put some game data on sd and try to mount it and note the amount of free space. after mounting, check the amount of free space. It should be different.

Although it is selected in the settings / applications manager to move the app or game (if it supports ofcourse) to the external card nothing is being moved
The below screenshots Show that the game death trigger supposed to have its data on sd card (by which I assume my external micro sd 64 gb) the data is in the android/obb and the folder .android_secure on my external sd is created yet empty
