I have a HTC Desire 500 but all my downloads are going to my phone memory instead of my SD card. How do I sort this problem.

Or you can format your SD card with an 'sd-ext' type partition and then your phone will use the partition as if it was internal memory


Hey Nik. That's the way Android is. The default storage for apps will always be the phone memory. What you can do is to move the apps to your memory card using apps like Apps2SD. But before you can use such apps, you would need to root your phone first.
