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..
how do i export or backup my contacts to phone memry in GT-N7000?
Note:-
I do not have SD card.
Thanks.
Contact - menu - import/export - Export to USB storage
(if you select export to SD card it will export to Ext SD card)
PS If i remember correctly this option available on ICS only. On gingerbread it was only avaiable to export on ext card only.
import/export menu i have import/export to sim card and via e-mail or other messaging app only!!
note:
i don't have sd card
You hav not inserted sd card, thats why you may not seeing option. And usb storage option is i think only in ics
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I think so.
tell me one thing about ics, I've heard that ics OS stops and prevents the apps from consuming data while mobile internet is connected while thay are running in background, is it true ?
what i want to say my gingerbread OS is consumes data even all apps are off !!??

On my Note (GB) it only says Export to SD card. Not ext sd card!
I must admit that android defies my logic. Perhaps I’m too old at 71.
Why the heck the internal memory called sd card? Why not just internal memory or phone memory? People just saying sd card can mean either to me and leave me wondering if it’s internal or external. In the phone it can be ext_sd_card, USB storage etc. not very helpful.
Rant over.
Kind regards,
Yes in GB, export to SD card means Export to Ext SD card.
Thats why they have corrected on ICS. On ICS it is USB storage and Ext SD card option.

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
1. On your computer, first of all, daownload the app named MiniTool
Partition Wizard Software.
2. The download link is here.
3. Then, install the app.
4. Take the microSD card now and insert it into an empty microSD
card slot from the card reader.
5. Connect the card reader with the computer / notebook.
6. Do not access the files or the mass storage device mode from the
memory card through your phone.
7. Copy all the files from the memory card on your computer or
back it up.
8. From your computer you can now open or run the MiniTool app.
9. Select SD card and then right click on “option” and choose
“delete”. Confirm for wiping the data from the memory card.
10. Again, right click and this time choose “Create new”.
11. Next, select FAT32 file type and allocate the amount of space you
think you will be using; take note that this space will be used for
saving the media and other files.
12. Similar as above select “Create As: Primary”; a new external
partition will be created so allocate the required memory; take
note that here the memory will be used for storing the necessarily
apps you will download.
13. Just click on “apply” and then you can safely insert the microSD
card on your Galaxy Ace for increasing its internal memory.
That’s it, now you know how to easily increase the internal memory of
your Samsung Galaxy Ace smartphone. Do tell me if the method worked
for you and if not share the issues so that I can help you make it
through. If everything worked as planned now you will be able to install
new apps, run the latest games and perform other complex operations
with your device.

well did your SD Card get partitioned.??
And it may not support CM11.
I will surely get back to you on this.
It did get two partitions.
Maybe problem is that I put primary one in NTFS and second one in FAT 32?

Well you should not partition it as NTFS.
I Will provide you with the guide how to do the same in CWM.

You need some extra app? I do a partition, I'm using Link2sd Plus, and I can't download nothing, insufficient space message.
I have added a 32gb SD Card but I can't even update applications as the rom is too low 8GB I believe. And it's occupied by os mostly. I moved all the apps to sd card but still the apps don't get moved completely from internal storage. And after update the apps get back to internal storage.
How do I get rid of this annoying problem!!?
Try factory resetting, maybe its a bug

So this doesn't happen to anyone else?
Also I noticed when I move app to sd card it doesn't completely move it. say a 222mb app after moving to sd card, it shows 167mb on device storage and 2xx on sd card!
I had that problem.. I partitioned my sd card, I downloaded link2sd plus and I was able to move the whole app to sd card, it's better to use the option link to sd card rather then the option move to sd card, your apps run properly when you link instead of move.. I also installed a custom rom , Igot memory for days

Yes, you cant completely move all app data on sd card. Try link2sd if it works
