i wana move apps to "internal USB" instead of "external SD"

internal USB = phone memory (11.5GB or so)
external SD = the micro SD card

the "move to SD" function in the task manager move apps to SD card.
if remove sd card and try to "move to sd", get memory full error.

please help.

Everybody, I am very serious here okay..
So please I hope that those replying my post,I hope that you will be sincere in your reply..

I am planning to buy AP Samsung Galaxy S2 19100 without G version..
Although not original, but who cares, as long as I got the one without G...

So, for those non-G users, please reply me sincerely..

1) Is the battery life really that bad?? I have been using G and to tell you the truth, I use it for non-stop surfing the internet, and it only last 3 hours max...

2) Does the stock kernel, can be overclocked to 1.6Ghz, or do we still need to install custom ROM??

3) What is the maximum battery temperature reached when playing hours of games??
My G is max about 45-50... How about non-G??

Lastly, if you have any problems with the non-g, do you mind telling me, please??
I really am considering this and I really want to buy this s2 non-G this week...

All feedbacks are really appreciated..

Thank you all for your time..

mine is non g.
1. i use for surfing non stop also, can last me 4.5 hours. my brightness set to 20% only. you browse on very high brigntness? maybe thats why urs last for 3 hours only.

2. i never over clock my phone. why you wana do that? everything is super smooth and lag free already.

3. the phone gets real warm when playing games like asphlat 6HD. check with CPU spy, when playing, processor spend most of the time at 1.2GHz. i use rom toolbox's CPU slider to underclock my phone to 1GHz. when playing games, it will max out at 1GHz instead of being in 1.2GHz. i notice absolutely no decrease in speed during browsing and playing games. but the phone feels significantly cooler. even after long hours of gaming. not sure about battery life, i dont have a good method to measure its improvement, but the heat definately reduce alot. despite no big difference in normal usage and gaming, quadrant score drop from 3594 to 2758. i guess benchmark results really doesnt reflect in normal usage.

for non G version, i dont have any big problem. there are some annoyance, like the camera, sometimes it doesn focus, it manege to get a good focus, then it turn red. i need to refocus few times, until it get the picture, happens very rarely though.

got it guys..thx..i was afraid my money drains out quickly when i switch it on..bt it didnt..

i worry 3g drain my credit as well, since i'm using prepaid.
but i have a nice solution to be able to receive MMS, and not loose any money via 3G at the same time.

usually when i turn on data connection (enable 3g),
while the mms is downloaded, other apps, like sync, emails, viber, etc, they will use the 3g at the same time.

so what i do is, use droid wall (some kind of firewall app)
for 3g settings, ONLY enable the sms app to use it. (which for my case is handcent sms).
this way, totally dun have to worry any other app use the 3g to online.

hence, no money will be drain. downloading mms content is free.

i'm so confused. it looks just like gingerbread.
what does ICS has that gingerbread dont?

face unlock? useless feature.

task manager that can swype to close apps?
did you see how trouble some it is? the defauly task manager right now can close apps by just tapping the "exit" button. IMO, tapping is faster than swyping. and there's even a "exit all" button.

lol...whats the point of upgrading then?
everything else looks the same.

i'm very satisfied and impressed with gingerbread now (already fast and lag free on its dual core)
at the same time dissapointed with ICS, seems not much difference.

but its still not the final version, so there might be still hope.:-)

Can't expect TouchWi
z to look like Vanilla Android in Galaxy Nexus mah

Perhaps less bugs, better software/hardware optimization, better battery life, etc

Thats what I was expecting from ics.
I was so excited when I heard about it.
bt nw I feel its over hyped.

Isn't it suppose to be less bugs? The ics update for sgs2 seems to be trying to barely work. Struggling to get the basics work. I think it will take a long time before it cn be free of bugs.

The way I see it, ics is like windows vista.

Sigh, I'm so dissapointed when I see the video. It looks 90% like gingerbread. If the update is wipe type, I don't think its worth upgrade. Its jz a slightly different task manager n launcher.

sgs2 is my first android phone, for me its pretty smooth since the previous one i used was symbian s60v5.

recently my friend bought a galaxy W. omg....its so laggy. the available ram is just around 350MB, and used ram is almost 300MB. that leaves less than 100MB free ram.

Ram issue aside, the phone is slightly slower in every aspect. guess it wont be fair to compare it with the sgs2.

anyway, lets get to the main point, i saw the W is on android 2.3.5.
the touch widz seems to be a newer version. when scrolling reach the most bottom or top, there are some blue rays appearing indicating you cant scroll anymore. this is a nice feature that is present in the galaxy note as well.

i'm still using stock 2.3.3 (mine is non g)
will upgrading to 2.3.6 have a new touch widz version?

erm..do you mind to open your application menu and scroll the menu to left for around  20 times non stop.
notice the smoothness during the 11,12,13....
are they same smooth?
*
yup, tried that, scroll until my hand also tired, but no lag. equally smooth.

why you wana try stcoll it 20 times non stop?
you can jump to the page you want, example:

if you want to go page 8 of your home screen, press the 8th dot at the bottom, it will jump to page 8 instantly.
no need to scroll 8 times. haha
