Moving apps to your microSD card

[tourboy]

Noticed on the Rezound you have the option of moving apps to your microSD card.

Curious if most people do this or are there any pros/cons?

I haven't done it but I wouldn't on a Class 4 SD card, Class 6 or 10 would be the minimum for me only because the transfer rate on a Class 4 might be a problem.

Fwiw, this never happened on any other phone I've owned but I ran into an issue doing this on the Rezound. Occasionally, when I power down, upon restart. Some widgets and app(s) I'd previoualy moved to SD, randomly, disappeared during boot up. They could'tn't be located, though they weren't uninstalled. Have to uninstall/ reinstall to get 'em back. I haven't had any issues ever since I moved them all back into phone memory, thankfully. I'd recommend keeping them in phone memory, till you have no choice to put them on SD, should it arise.

If you read the descriptions of apps in the Market, they will often say whether or not they are movable to SD. GTasks is one example that I have currently running on my phone. If I move it to SD, it won't work, just as you described. Since moving to the Rezound from the DInc, I haven't moved anything to SD, but there are apps that can help you manage SD transfers and keep tabs on apps that should not be moved. I used App2SD, free, and it worked very well.

I have a 32 GB Class 10 MicroSD card on my HTC Rezound, and I have moved everything I can to it, apps and data. So far I have not noticed any difference whatsoever.

Yeah, some apps don't play nicely when moved to sd card. Otherwise, there really isn't a disadvantage. I haven't found a need since the current app capacity is more than adequate for me.

Most widgets don't work if the app supporting them is moved to the SD card.
