soulJAHmon Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ok, My dad gave me this smart phone, and im struggling to figure it out. Its an LG Vortex, must be a few years old. Here's the owners manual. My main problem is this: The phone is telling me its low on space, it HAD a 2gb mini-SD in it. I bought an 8GB SD and put it in, but it still says its low on space.....WTF. So, I got to manage applications, and want to move a bunch from onbaord memory to sd memory, but only one or two apps had the "move to SD" button active......... For those of you that know what Im going through personally, let me tell you, this is more serious than an average problem, because I had been trying to save all the texts between myself and my X, because of the impending divorce and when i pulled out the 2gb card, i didn't know about "un-docking" it, and all the texts were lost, i think. Also, I simply want to add a couple apps, and of course, I cannot right now due to the space problem. Please help teach an old dog some new tricks......

Kepar Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Try to set your installations to SD card memory in Storage settings at least it should be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papito Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 There are 2 types of Memory: Internal and External, try to move your apps from Memory Internal to SDCard (External), most of them can't be moved, but try it and what android version is using your phone?

Xernicus Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Your texts should not have been lost when doing anything with the SD card, they're stored on internal storage.If your smsmms.db file didn't get messed around with, this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore) can probably view it. Worse case scenario, if you need texts as evidence of something, you can call the phone company and have them print out hard copy records.

soulJAHmon Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 It is android version 2.2.2 SAo you think even though i didn't "un-dock" the texts are in there somewhere? Is it possible to simply put the old 2gb sd card into my card reader and copy the texts as simple files and save them like any other text file?
