Please explain Storage v Program memory to me

When viewing memory in System the capacity and availability of Program and Storage memory is shown.
When I install a program, does it get put into program memory? If not, how do I put it there as there's certainly a bunch of space going free.
Thanks.

Storage memory is the MircoSD card, Program memory is the card's internal memory.

Are you sure?
It's there without a storage card!
Go to Settings/System/Memory

The difference between storage and program memory that you are refferring to is how much memory do you have to store programs and such on your device, while the program memory refers to how much memory you have to run and execute a program on your device. When you insatll a program it goes to the storage memory and when you execute or run that program it runs and uses the program memory.

prolly simpler if you consider program memory as RAM and storage memory as HDD.. and SD card as extra storage..

Thanks for the replies, it's appreciated.

[Q] increase device internal memory with sd card.?

Good day
I have European device with limited memory
I want to know if there's a way to use the sd card storage to increase the total size of the device memory
Thanks

Most roms support app2sd or data2sd,, backup your SD card, enter cwm, advanced, partition SD card. This creates a partition on your Sd card formatted EXT format, which the system will use as internal memory without you doing anything.
I dunno if you can force your already installed rom to move stuff to the SD, or if you have to reflash to activate it.
When its active, you should make sure all your apps are set to use phone memory not SD card, if you click "move to SD card" it takes them out of the ext partition and puts them to the fat partition, thus defeating the object of the ext.

[Q] Unable to use INTERNAL SD card

How to use internal SD memory after flashing the partition.zip, that changes internal memory to 1.4 GB. I did it to try Mlora. phone memory was around 690 MB. So that should still leave me with around 1 GB Internal Sd memory. But I am unable to use that. Is it because that memory is unformatted?? Where did that go? how to bring it back? Any help / knowledge appreciated...Thanks..
