Thanks For The (Lack Of) Memory...
It seems the greatest contributor to my occasional Android angst is the lack of internal memory. So, when I overload my phone with too many apps and too much data I am faced with a fatigued device, prone to frequent failures, from crashes to missed calls to cutting off my ability to add more apps. What's a geek to do? Of course, deleting data and memory gobbing apps is one way to free up space on your Android, but it can be frustrating if you like to have lots of apps at your fingertips. The latest versions of Android do let you store and run apps from the SD card, which is a great solution except that not all apps are capable of being moved to the SD card. It is a function developers must actively include in each individual app. As a result, you may have to go through the painful process of checking each app on your phone, one by one, to see if it can be moved to the SD card. Not a happy way to spend the day.
Sam Lu To The Rescue!
The best answer I have found so far is a neat little free app from developer Sam Lu, App 2 SD. As the name implies, App 2 SD scans the apps on your Android device and let's you know which internal apps are capable of being moved to the SD card, and then it lets you move them all with a single click. Nice! It even can move itself to the SD card, all in all providing a very simple, efficient way to free up as much internal memory hogged by apps as you can. You can also use Apps 2 SD to move apps from the SD card back to the phone, if need be.
If you are aggravated by Android apps invading your internal memory then App 2 SD may be just the tool you have been looking for!
