But this is a new feature in later versions of android. I will not write a step by step but here I head to Manage Applications and under the app, some have a move to card feature.

Sorry,

...Well, I'm sorry too, but I did not understand your answer to the question above. I have the same problem with my Galaxy mini GT-S5570. It has a microSD of *GB installed in the device but it does not store nearly any applicatip (except skype and two small others...) while the MicroSD card is emplty...
Iseems that It does not allow to store applications on the card - so what's the use? the phone internal memory is small, this leavesthe device a bit creepled...

Any advice? Thanks.

The answer I gave is now out of date.

The new OS version does not give a move to card option.

I hope you can see the current discussions about this issue and as it stands you must manage your limited memory or just replace the phone.

Hi,
I assumed that advice to be outdated probably,
howaver you received my comment, thanks.
I would be glad if I could get some more info or tip.
I am a hardware guy, don't have any experience in
software but i guess I can manage simple tasks.

Thanks again

It's one of those well discussed areas today.

My best advice is to be downright brutal on what apps you have and try this.

Be sure to research what the app you are looking at is and does, but many of them you can stop and clear their data in the usual area (settings, apps, etc.)

By brutal I mean to eject every app you can. Do we really need a talking cat?
