SD memory card settings

I recetly got my Prevail (which I absolutely LOVE btw) and I noticed that I can only transfer apps/games to my memory card if I do it manually, I was wondering if theres a way to set it up so that anything I download will go directly to my memory card without having to go in and do it myself. part 2 of my question is I also noticed that some of the apps/games that I've downloaded don't give me an option to move them to my memory card, is there a reason why some things can't be added to the memory card?
 
there are apps in the market such as app 2 sd or move 2 sd that will help you manage the apps that can move to the card, though I don't think they automatically do it for you. As for part 2 of your post the ability to move to SD needs to be setup in the app by the dev for it to show as movable
 
Okay, like many with this phone, I've complained about not having enough storage space for apps like facebook, craigslist, photobucket, google voice, etc.

App 2SD is great, however you cannot move "phone only" apps to your sd card.

Here's the solution to this issue! (assuming you have ALREADY rooted your phone)

You will need to download Link2SD from the market. The details are provided in the link below:

You will also need to partition your sd card. I used a memory card reader and hooked it up to my laptop. The program I used to partition is EASEUS and can be downloaded here:

Easeus Partition Master Home Edition - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Downloads


Just follow the directions that are provided on the Link2SD site.

I was able to partition my sd card using EASEUS and "link" the phone only apps to my sd card. Worked like a charm. I've downloaded all the apps I could possibly want and use, that were previously "phone only" apps, and I STILL have 50+ mb of space remaining on my internal memory!

Since everything is now linked to my sd card, I'll never have to worry about filling up the internal memory :D
