It seems it's not possible to move apps between internal n external memory?? I'm using App Mgr III but I couldn't find "change" under storage as suggested. Please see screenshot, any suggestions?

The new update gives functionality of transferring apps to sd card but when I transfer an app to SD it remains in internal memory and there is no change to my external memory card. Can anyone tell me where does it exactly go and what actually happens when i move my app to sd??

Well app to sd card option moves the apk u installed in the SD card but it keeps the data in internal memory only.. so incase u take the memory card out u cannot run the application and its done this way so that u can free up some space in ur internal memory for other use etc
What is bigger, the APK or data?
u can use terminal or folder mount to link that data in external sdcard to phones memory! so phone thinks its on phones but its on sd! btw u may experiance lag or slow loading and stuff! havent tryed my self i got no space problem on 8gb version i just bought it im currently downloading more games! like rapid gt and others
also try to save some space whit moving everything to sd expect game data!

Most of the time its data that is big
example Need for speed is abt 13 mb app size and the data we need to download is abt 600 mb and after its extracted its abt 1.6 gb
I already use pro version of Folder mount but i just had a doubt that samsung is providing the old method of moving apps to sd again but still i see no diff in my internal storage as i have already moved many internal apps to sd using the new function but still i see my ext sd is empty and the apk remains in int memory only ......

Yes data of the app remains in the internal memory card only just to verify u just take the memory card and see those app will ask for car to be inserted
and ya since only the apps are mvng and it may be small in size u dont see may not notice the change in internal memory available
I just found out with the new rom released (mf9) they have the option for you to move app to sd card. The funny side is when you move your app to sd, it is still setting in your internal phone memory and not to the external is card. Samsung has an internal partition mounted as sd card and moving apps to that partition, still utilizes internal space. I maybe wrong, but I really see this option pointless, if you cant push your apps to external storage.

I may be off base, but I liken it to shortcuts on your desktop to a file or program that is located on an external memory device. Even with the bulk of the space necessary stored externally, there is still some resources required to let the OS know where to find the rest. I do know that the few apps I have, moving them has freed up a couple hundred MB's of space on the device.
I believe it just moves the apk to external but doesn't move the data

anyone can explain how apps move to sd card works on application manager? I actually moved all the apps from device storage to sd card and it does free up space from the device manager, but I don't see the moved apps located on my external sd-card, where did it go?
if so what did it move? simply only the APK file? or data was included?

It only moved apk not the data , data remains in the internal storage only
However if u are rooted u can use the foldermount app that can move the data also to Sd card
but which SD card did it move the apk files to? I thought it was to the external SD-Card, But I don't see anything moved to there when I open my external sd drive.
Hi,
Xolo q700 has 4GB internal memory bifurcated as ROM+Internal Storage+Phone Storage, with Internal Storage ~1GB and Phone Storage ~2GB
Most of the time, I use SD card instead of Phone Storage and I am finding that the free Internal Storage has come down to ~60 MB. I can't install many apps because of this.
I was trying to see if we can re-partition the Internal Memory to have more Internal Storage by getting space from Phone Storage. I don't want to use Link2SD because I can't run most apps if I remove the SD card. Also don't want to keep apps data on SD card.
I came across many threads, but by far [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240954] looks the simplest.
Anyone else has done something similar to their q700/q700i?
Admin/Devs, can you help us?
Thanks,

Hello

how to make it download or update to the SD card directly ?
or how to merge the internal memory with the SD ?
or how to force move this apps that can't be moved - pic attached - ?
any help please
Hi,
My recommendation is to remove any app that you don't need to preserve more space on your Internal Storage. These apps couldn't be moved to SD card because of Android's policy.
Another alternative is to use Link2SD. However, it requires at least 16 GB of MicroSD card for this (if you are installing many apps and move it all at once!). But, it requires some re-partitioning. Searching for guides on XDA or Google could help you a bit.

@krasCGQ: This is a continuation of his previous thread. His main issue is that he's unwilling to uninstall apps to free up the space. Links 2 SD will help however.
I am curious though. What is he running that takes up 9GB of storage space?
