Guest kiteboywales Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hi all Im new to Android and have upgraded the G300 to stock ICS firmware Ive put in a 32gb SDcard Now my issue is it seems I always seem to get the message of insufficient storage - the apps cant update themselves Ive set the default storage to be the 32gb card But when I look in the APPS menu the Downloaded section shows as nearly full - around 50mb free or so Ive moved some of those apps to the SDcard - not sure if that does anything at all as the apps are still showing in the download section anyway Can someone explain - doesnt make sense to me at the moment - what can I do?

Guest Dellboy2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I assume your phone is not rooted, so I'd suggest using link2sd or app2sd programsto move apps to sd. Anyway, you should see the difference in amount of free memory in download section at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive just updated to a new rom and it is rooted now - created 2nd partition on sdcard and set link2d as auto - should I set the default install location to sd too????

Guest holtend Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Did you create an ext3 or ext4 partition? If so open links2sd and it should ask you how it was formatted, then it will create some script and ask you to reboot. You can then open the app again and you should be able to link any apps you want...be careful moving system apps though. As for choosing internal or external its up to you. 1 other thing to try is downloading apps2sd and that wi l show you the apps that can be moved natively( no root needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dellboy2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Ive just updated to a new rom and it is rooted now - created 2nd partition on sdcard and set link2d as auto - should I set the default install location to sd too???? What rom are you on? If still on stock ICS, try this: It will use your internal 2GB for storing apps, which is great cause it is faster memory than external and not used otherways.
