Does anyone know how to install on the card instead of the internal memory? I like this phone except can't get any apps on it.

yes when you go to "settings" you will then go to "applications" and then go to "manage applications" and from there it gives you the option to move apps to the SD card.

you have to go to the settings and find your sd card and import it all to the card

I've read a lot about this phone not having enough memory on it. However, there is a way around the memory issue that is quite simple. Every time you download a new app from the Google Play store, do not open it immediately. Exit the browser and go to the APPMGR. Then, go to INSTALLED APPS and click on your new download. You should see a section that says "Move to internal memory" and click on it. Once you do that, it frees up the main phone memory and allows you to move your downloads to the internal memory. So far, I've downloaded Skype, Netflix, Pandora, Zedge, Tracfone airtime balance app and FB messenger. And by moving each app to internal memory before I open it, I still have plenty of room still left to add a few more apps later on. Hope that helps you out, because it's worked well for me.

I couldn't download any APPs at all. It didn't even have the Appstore. I had to ditch the phone. This is only my experience.

Did you first let it connect to the internet and do the pending updates? For me, it was three automatic reboots until all the updates were installed.Also, did you shut it down completely and then insert the microSD card?

(1) Its a basic phone. So keep the 'phone memory' free of more than 200 MB(2) Clear the cache often(3) Move all the files like photos, music files .. etc to your memory cardIf still you having the same problem, then contact the manufacture for repair/replacement.

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

apps have to be stored to phone memory, which there just not enough of. and the factory apps that you don't use cant be uninstalled. memory card is only good for music, videos, storage of text messages, mms, and pictures.

Just remember, with ICS (4.04?) and on, that you can't store apps on the card. Only the original internal 8gb (actually, 4+gb after system stuff) can store apps. The card is only for data, pics, movies, docs, etc

It looks like only pictures movies and music can be moved to the SD card...will try to investigate further but the phone is fantastic other than the crappy camera but I can live with that

Has anyone attempted to use a 2GB memory card with this phone? Does it work? (a co-worker with the Motorola cRazr that claims to have a 1GB capacity in the manual has a 2GB microSD card that seems to be working on his phone).

I would. The phone has VERY limited memory. If you add even 7 apps there's an issue. I was not happy with it at all.

Mine came with Google Play, in fact a lot of Google stuff I have never used except for Google search. I'm still not sure what all this Google stuff is for.I'm just trying to figure out how to get things on the 32GB SD card. It keeps saying move to SD card and I do but there is nothing on the SD card. I think it moves things to something called Nano?Totally tech challenged

It's awful... Only 380MB, I can't update most of the apps, and I can't even download more than 4 apps (social ones like whatsapp, instagram, twitter and BBM, which are the ones that I have) besides it keeps telling me the apps stop working... I would go for another option, I'm eager to change mine!

Sorry but no apps can be installed on this particular model. However you can use compatible devices like a tablet or a smartphone. Even a laptop or smartphone if you must.

I thought the new ones that come with the 1 GB ram have an easy to access ram "window" on the bottom of the computer case. Is that not right?I've been told the upgrade now is very easy, but would like to confirm that... Just pop the little cover off on the bottom of the case and pop the old card out and snap the new one in. Yes?

Not sure if this has been answered or not, but I seem to remember mine booting up immediately, with an option to install android. I'd try taking the card out and reinserting.

I tried to update mine but the memory on the device is full. You must purchase a card in order to update the device. I have not purchased the card yet so I can't say how well that works.
