I'm not sure i heard it was just for apps however you us connect using PC mode it opens a drive to that 8 gb internal memory. It has some drivers and PC applications that you can install from it. I didn't try writing anything to it at the time and I'm not sure you can. Give it a try and let me know.

Why WOULDN'T you want it is the question...
I like the idea all app data in one place and my data in another. Especially since the card can't pop out by accident. Why fill internal mem with media and then complain about no room for apps, imo of course.

Question

Hello!
I really need an advice. How can I move some apps on Motorola Xoom to SD card? I've rooted the device but anyway, can't find that option in the Settings.
Please, can somebody help me?

the only way I have seen is using a utility such as "App to SD Pro".

Has that actually worked for you?

To be honest I have never had a reason to try. My xoom has plenty of internal memory space for apps. I only put data and backup on the SD card. I just know that there are several similar apps that claim to be able to move apps to SD.

Cant install apps, insufficent room.

When I try to install an game, it says im out of room.. but I still have 800mb of space left.
How big is the game? I've seen a couple that were around a gig.

Have you tried pushing some of your existing apps to your SD card to free up the internal memory?

Yeah, this. You can go to "applications" in your settings and get it to sort them by size, then selectively push big ones to your SD card. Much better than randomly choosing which ones to move over.

[Q] out of space?

My wife just got an M as a replacement for her old Rezound. She has had it for about three weeks and the phone is already telling her she is out of internal storage. However, when I look at her storage it appears that only her "Backup ASSISTANCE Plus" is full. It's unfortunately causing her phone to be worthless. Does anyone know how to fix this? Her phone is completely stock. Thanks in advance.

couple of tips:
1.) don't use backup assistance - use google to store your contacts
2.) make sure that your camera settings are set to save pics/vids to the mnt/external1 folder (no sdcard in internal storage)

Might also want to disable Backup Assistant in the Application Settings.
Also, clear the cache and make sure that no leftover OTA updates are stored.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to disable it but it wouldn't let me. I'll take another look tonight. I don't want to do a hard reset unless I have to but if I can't disable it, I'll have no other choice.

Conclusion. This phone sucks if you can't put apps on the SD. 8gb internal hard drive is really only 4 gigs.

If you root, you can easily store apps on external. Also, internal is partitioned into 4gb halves. One for the the ROM and the other for media/etc. Personally, I don't understand how people fill that up so quickly. I use very few apps and all my media gets stored to my external SD. I'm still sitting at about 3.5GB available on my storage side.

I understand it's portioned but I've never seen a phone require half of its internal storage. As for media, it's all going to her card. I guess if you use few apps your ok, but that's not the case with a 5 year. You shouldn't have to root for a phone to be functional with a relatively low amount of apps in use.

I've got just over 100 apps. Also, a little more than 1 gig of my internal space is dedicated to music.

How are you not having the same issue? Very interesting.

Do you know if the phone was previously rooted? I know that nandroid backups get saved to internal storage if you don't specify and they will eat up the storage space quickly.

It came straight from Verizon as a replacement phone so all I know is that it's a refurbished phone. I cleaned up the backup assistance so hopefully that will help. I have a theory that triggered the warning and loss of functionality. We'll see. If it pops back up, it's going back to Verizon.

gaining root access allowed me to clear out all of the Verizon bloatware.

Makes sense since this phone is loaded with it. This is our first Motorola smartphone. Is that a Motorola issue with excess bloat? I know all phones have it but this seems like a lot considering the limited amount of internal memory.

bloat is an issue with all Verizon android phones (the bloat helps bring down the costs on the device).
one of the drawbacks to this device is the lack of internal memory. however, the bigger drawback is in the OS that prevents folks from moving apps to their SD Card.
but once I rooted, and installed a "clean ROM", I got a lot more space.
with your wife's phone, I suspect she has the latest OTA baseband (check the phone settings, if the baseband is prior to May 2013, then you are in luck - DO NOT ACCEPT the UPDATE). if the baseband reads May 2013, then your only option is to gain root access and freeze/delete the bloatware.
if space is an issue, I highly recommend to go this route. otherwise, start trimming some of the apps she never uses.

game files on physical sd card??

well I'm loving my Tab 2 7"
But hating the fact I have to have the game data on the interanl memory when I have a nice 32gig card in the tab..
Am on a rooted Stock 4.2.2 rom and wondering is it possible to move the data to the SDcard thus releasing space on the internal memory..
thanks in advance for advice..
regards
Lohtse
